I assume you speak about POST/LX. Seems you have experimented with composition templates. Press "Compose", then delete the contents of that field and then choose "SaveTPL" (save template). This saves the current composition screen as a template for when you press "Compose" in the future. > When I download messages from the list.hplx and I want to reply. What > do I have to do?

When I push "compose" to generate a message, I get the message header format with my email address plugged in, however when I tab down to the "Text" section where I expect to compose my message, I only have one line of text (in a faint outline of a long text box) in which to enter my message, (where it says "F3 or ENTER to edit") which extends about 200 characters across the screen if your message is that long. I don't understand how to get Post/LX to generate a message like the more traditional email clients do that operate on desktop machines (Eudora, etc.). I can push F2 (Add) to generate another "line" with the word "text" next to it, ;but this seems a bit unusual. Will the "long" lines of text in each "box" wrap correctly on the recipient's screen? Is this really the way to compose a longer message?

I suppose the only reason for your boot-reboot method is to not have cic100 loaded all the time. lxcic which can be found on the Super-site can be unloaded from memory with a switch. So if you use it, you will save a lot of time. I don't see any other reason to reboot. write a batch file which starts lxcic, calls gp and finally unloads lxcic. Insert the "pause" command where you want to reinsert the flashcard again. You may want to call this batchfile from sysmgr with maxdos.

The most "memory hungry" part is the CFG file, which is loaded into memory with quite a bit of overhead. Try to shrink it as good as you can, e.g. remove all comments, delete stuff that you don't use. Use short names. > Is 27 newsgroups the limit for www/lx/post/lx?? > Din't the helpfile talk about a limit of 100 folders? Limits are given by the amount of memory, not by a number of objects.

I got a series 2000, 3000 and 3500. The 2000 is just a little bit too short, the 3500 is too thick and kind of looks like a toolbox, but the 3000 is almost perfect. It's a bit long, but the width and depth are perfect. The extra length can be used for a couple of spare AA batteries. The boxes are nicely made, very tough, waterproof and are lined with closed cell foam. The foam actually compresses into the ridges of the 200LX lid just enough so it will not move inside the box when the lid is latched shut. Best color seems to be all black or black with a clear lid. Otterbox said that you can usually find these things at dive shops for full retail; $19.90 for the series 3000. I am toying with the idea of buying a few for resale at a bit better price. I can do them for $20 including priority mail shipping in the USA ($16.80 for the box and $3.20 for the postage). Ten is the minimum order.

My first knee jerk reaction was that I couldn't afford that much but, I do have somewhat of a need for this type of software. One thing that I would like to know is what type of components can be used with this software? Would I be able to use some of the component libraries from SPICE or other similar circuit design programs to work with the Palmtop Circuit software? Maybe the gentleman that was offering the assistance with getting the software can email me directly or if there is anyone on the list that happens to have bought a copy could let me know I would really appreciate. Before I consider even thinking about spending $80, I want to make sure that I could update the components with current libraries and continue to update as new components are 'dreamed up' by manufacturers.

Buddy has this kind of function. You can set the greeting time and can call it up anytime using {fn-*}. I still haven't found a good solution for this (and I think that it's been asked a few times since I've been reading HPLX-L, which isn't that long) and no one has been able to offer a good answer to the problem. My new solution is to wake up 30 seconds earlier to account for this "load-up" time. =¬D -- Terry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999 18:38:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Organization: HP200LX User Subject: Re: Breakout and Speed Doubled Machine Comments: To: mack@TIMES2TECH.COM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On 06-01 06:24pm CDT, the following was written: > Use the SHIFT-CTRL-DEL key to go into a fake slow mode and see if that > helps. > > Use the SHIFT-CTRL-UP and SHIFT-CTRL-DOWN to go slower or faster > respectively.

(baud rate, screen adjustment, etc...) It is part of the speed upgrade driver. It is fake in the sense that it puts a delay loop in the INT 08 timer interrupt. It shouldn't affect any of the other components of the speed upgrade driver such as screen, baud rate, etc., but it could affect the overall operation of the palmtop and other drivers. It was added to be used with games only. I also use the same trick to slow down alarms to regular speed which is part of the spdalrm.tsr driver.

I am off to the U.S. in a couple of weeks for 6 days and am interested in picking up a Diamond Rio Special Edition MP3 Player and memory card. I will be in the Arlington area (Crystal City), just outside Washington DC. Any suggestions on where the best place to get one would be would be greatly appreciated. I will probably not have a lot of time to look around, so price is not too important (full retail is a lot cheaper than any price here in Australia). I did live in the US for 4 years a few years back, but spent most of my time in the West (Utah and Arizona), and have only been to DC for a week once many years ago. Please reply directly to me. Now, to add a HP flavour, a while back someone mentioned the possibility of using the HP200LX to download files to the Rio (the specs for doing this have been posted somewhere).

If you have an American English palmtop, you can leave the original string in there (the values are scancodes of keys to press - and they unfortunately differ in localised versions of the palmtops). Most likely, you gave ALL memory to the DOS session and therefore, MEMO cannot be launched. Or you have an upside down exclamation mark in the Comments field of Application Manager. If so, System Manager does not allow to switch to other applications such as MEMO. > Post/LX seems to take a lot of memory; Try to compare it with other email clients such as Netscape or Eudora and then please reconsider that statement ;-) > minimize the amount of memory used, but it will not run with any > designation less than the max memory available There are lots of tips and tricks to get more memory (close filer patch, remove TSRs etc.) but there is also one simple solution that solves (almost) all memory problems in a simple way: get MaxDOS. This allows you to use POST/LX from SysMgr and still give it more than 500k of RAM. This is more than enough to run POST/LX and an external editor such as PE at the same time. > After much thought and contemplation, Andreas Garzotto wrote: Really? :-) Andreas ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 09:42:05 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andreas Garzotto Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: Tech: Post/LX Question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Jeff Johns wrote: > When running it I do so from AppManager with MaxDOS and it will do the trick > for you.

I played with it before but never got going with it due to its amazing power and steep learning curve. I use Info Select right now for random information storage and the built - in diary/to do function, (although I've customised the to do layout to meet my needs with the incorporation of some macros). It's clear from what I've read, particularly on Michael Stocker's brilliant agenda site, that Agenda is an AMAZING power PIM, probably the best that ever was (is). But, here's what's holding me back and any of your thoughts would be most appreciated:- It's power and features seem to mean a steep learning curve. If I recall, it runs quite slow on a standard LX. You need double speed which I don't have at the moment. Michael Stocker advises running it with MaxDos and EMS from SUPER. Now don't snigger but although I've downloaded LOTS AND LOTS of programmes and got them to run OK on the 200LX, as an avid user of the LX but not a techie, I always seem to hit glitches getting stuff installed and running (particularly with memory - related programmes) and I find that it takes an age to iron out the snags with the result that, (1) several days of normal life passes me by in a kind of haze and (2) my wife invariably gives me grief for "having your head again in that computer again". Does this syndrome ring any bells with anyone on the list? If I had the following support which I'd probably consider stumping up some British Pounds for, I'd go for Agenda as my sole PIM:- First and foremost, a personal training session on an introduction to Agenda followed up some months later with an advanced training session. Or failing that, a really good book that teaches Agenda in a user- friendly way. (Some of the books I borrowed from the library on Agenda didn't do that for me). Access to support when things go wrong with Agenda or I don't understand something. Help to install all the memory stuff like MaxDOS and EMS so that it runs first time (again I hear the PC techies on the list snigger.....). Finally, and very important, confidence that my growing Agenda file won't get corrupted as I've read it's prone to do. I don't want to be into running the agenda file check utility all the time.

If the LX is connected to the network, you could run LXTELNET on the palmtop, and the retrieve the file with FTP. Otherwise, you can leave the palmtop in FILER connected with the serial cable, and then use the code from the program on SUPER which allows you to access the filer from Unix (the code is written in C, and is very modular).

The mapping of fields between the Palmtop and Outlook should be user definable, and stored in a configuration table. This will be very useful for those who have heavily modified their *.?db files. 2. Handling of conflicts could also be automated and stored as different parameter options. For instance, one works on the Outlook data the whole day and at the end of the day transfers the files to the Palmtop, over-riding the Palmtop data. One may then work on this data at home and do the re-synch at work the next day by over-riding the Outlook data. One may think of other similar scenarios where such short-cuts using canned conflict resolution methods will work. 3. How will deleted records be handled? They should not be re-instated under the assumption that they belong to the No-conflict (New) category. 4. As I see it, there will be 3 sets of data files on the Windows PC: 1. OUTLOOK - files 2. PALMTOP-OLD - files created during the last synch operation 3. PALMTOP-NEW - files newly uploaded from the palmtop for synchronisation. PALMTOP-OLD should contain the date and time stamp of when the re-synch was last performed. Comparison between PALMTOP-OLD and PALMTOP-NEW will reveal deleted records, at least those deleted on the palmtop side. If a similar snapshot is kept of the outlook files at the time of synchronisation, records deleted in outlook can also be identified. 5. The date and time stamp can be used to re-construct the files in case of data consumption. I hope this scheme is not too roundabout, just to detect deleted records, and to maintain a time stamp.

There is nothing to worry about. SRAM cards, however, need constant power to hold the data in memory and when the power stops (the button battery dies) the memory forgets.

I don't know the intricate details, but FASTDB.TSR is not a TSR in the sense that we understand DOS TSR's. This is a special feature of System Manager to load these *.TSR routines on an as-needed basis depending on the application that is running and what it is doing. Supposedly, these little utilities can be set up to connect into lots of SysMgr functions to modify or enhance how they work. SysMgr will load and execute these *.TSR programs at the appropriate time depending on when they are needed. For example, I have been told that many of the functions that Buddy performs on the 100/200LX could have been done through this SysMgr *.TSR functionality. The problem with doing it that way is that it is very complicated, not well documented, and for the most part untested.

Deep I mean front to back. But they are terrific boxes for equipment: Cables, chargers, adapters, modem and storage cards, etc. The 3000 and 3500 are right for the palmtops. The 3500 is a tall box, I can fit three palmtops in there with more room for stuff. These boxes are built very well. They are waterproof. The lid has a rim that protrudes and inserts into a channel on the top rim of the bottom part. In that channel, they put a rubberized insert which then seals the contact beteen top and bottom against wanter. I put one of the boxes into water with some material that changes color when water hits it. It was there a week, no discoloration. The colors are many, but I agree with you that the best color is transparent - you can see exactly what's inside. It seems ideal for travellers who take various equipment with them. Avi M.

My Post.cfg is 8781..is that way to much? I bet I use more of Post/LX than you do and mine is 6248. I took out all the comments. I removed several email boxes, and simply forward email from them to other email boxes. I reduced the number of newsgroups I read to a minimum - seemed to help in removing some junk from my life, too! :¨...). I cleaned my WWW.CFG a lot too. Some things are nice to try, but I could not see why I should be able to swap 7 fonts in my Post/LX - so I reduced the list to 2 plus built-in. I even cancelled one of my email addresses, and will cancel another one soon. A third one will probably go away at the end of June. All these steps make the config files smaller. But also understand that other factors apply: How large are your message files? The inddices take memory! How many files do you have open? How big is your FILES= parameter? Buffers= parameter? i also trimmed the number of TSR way back to make more room. I use Sofware Carousel and dedicate on Workarea to Post/LX. Still, when some of my message files get huge (over 10MB!!!!) I get Palmemfailure. So I clean up more messages and get rid of stuff I really cannot imagine I would ever need again. Even if I imagine I'll need again, I move the info from a message to a notebook, and get rid of everything except the words that are important. Example: I keep the name, email, date (but not time), and just the URL of messages that give interesting URLs to review. If they mention programs, I just keep the names, and maybe a word or two about what the program does, but not entire sentences. Sure all these thngs take a bit of time, and that is my criterion: If the time to trim a message seems too long, delete the message! I used to get PalMemFail when I tried to reply to a message from a folder with 3500 messages. Now I trimmed the messages to less than 2900, and no PalMemFails... About two-three months ago I counted that all my folders in Post/LX contain something over 16,000 messages. About a week ago I counted and it came to 28,000! Since then I have deleted over 8,000 message, and gained 15MEGA Bytes on disk! Avi M.

But Peter, what about the following: continue to use the AppMgr and start using PalmEdit from Andreas to do database management/searching and organisation. Read the help file and the docs that com with PE twice or three times. It is good literature of a knowledgable guy (g). There are also ways to do item searches via macros and hot keys without the necessity to have them assigned to different categories. This allows for some good data management. And AppMgr has better visualisation than Agenda - I continue to do my appointments and daily todo's there and use agenda/PE for data and project organisation.

The only task which takes some time are executing all action/conditions for all items (alt-x), but you need to do this rarely. But actions/conditions applied after entering an item are no problem a it runs in the background (WRKNG- Indicator). My file is slowly growing towards 100k and the WRKNG-Indicator disappears after about 3 seconds. I have all features (text matching/actions/conditions/filters) activated and my category hierarchy is pretty large and complex. It is not slow, what am I doing wrong ? Just make sure not to install it on a compressed flashdisk. It will slow down to a crawl then.

I think after you understood the basics (there is an article available from the developers which helps a lot - can be found on Michael Stocker's Site), you can right start without bothering about the "power" features. The rest is learning by doing. I have been learning a lot just by experiments. There is online help, the keyboard-shortcuts are not to hard to remember (not as hard as say Wordstar-commands), the function keys have their fixed functions throughout the program, and they are shown at the bottom. The developers spent a lot of effort on ergonomy. What might be hard to learn is the philosophy of the program (but I even doubt this), but thats just because it is so unique, not really because it is too complex. Learning a wordprocessor, a database application, a spreadsheet application, if you did never use these types of applications before, has a "steep learning curve" too.

I have PGP setup for use = with Goin' Postal. It's actually quite easy to do with GP as there is a = built-in 'hook' for PGP. Well I was messing around on the internet last looking at D&A's web page and read what Andreas has written about setting up PGP for = use with POST/LX, so I figured I would give it a try because I also have = WWW/LX on my LX.

Since I was already in a MaxDOS session with = POST/LX, I thought that might be the problem. The exact problem is when I go to encode a message, I get an error message that says "Could Not Create File SCRATCH". I figured that it might have something to do with not having enough memory(?) 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=3DPortable Packet| QTH Birmingham, AL USA = | *------------ Finger jeffj@scott.net for my PGP RSA key -----------* ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 08:28:01 -0700 Reply-To: Tim Shephard Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tim Shephard Subject: WWW/lx Manual Phone Number MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I use Post/LX's shift F5 to select certain dialups.

This is done by typing the following command before IS: "dispctl -c" You'll also want to resize all your windows and your default opening window to the size where the zooming works for you (in medium zoom, the window number should be under the t for 'Adjust'; in maximum zoom, the window number should be under the m for 'Form'. (and of course you already know about changing colors with setup.exe) 2-To use InfoSelect with Dosshell, you need to fiddle with the window settings. (Adjust, Room: Dataspace (I use 85, use the size of your largest stack) and Window buffer (I use 7000, use the size of your largest window). But what if that's not enough? Then in Dosshell, go to File-Properties-Advanced-Video Mode, and choose text, then press OK. This trick allowed me to fit InfoSelect with another program in a single window. If all else fails, consider unloading your favorite tsr (this is why I don't use buddy, but instead I use Lxshift and Numlock. Similar functionality with much lower overhead). 3-For cutting and pasting between Sysmgr and InfoSelect, I use Dosclip from SUPER (not the same as the one from Simtel). I use it a lot by jotting down any quick note on Memo (the quickest to open application on Sysmgr.), then when I have a minute, I cut and paste from Memo into InfoSelect. This works well for me (I wish there was more than just coping a whole screen from InfoSelect into Sysmgr, though). Now for the question: one of the neatest ways to add structure on InfoSelect is with the Hypertext command. But for some reason, one Hypertext stack which works on my desktop will not work on the palmtop. Has anyone gotten the Hypertext command to work on the palmtop? Tom Hoover once talked to me about an InfoSelect mailing list. Is he still on this list?

Just curious: what are you looking for in Agenda that InfoSelect doesn't do for you? I know that its approach to structuring information is primitive, but I have tried Agenda, and I find it one of the slowest, most difficult to learn programs. By contrast, I find InfoSelect one of the fastest(even on my compressed flash card), easiest programs to use. Its main problem for most people is that is not free. 8=) For more structure, I am currently looking into Dataperfect. It is difficult, but it seems faster than Agenda (though I don't know much yet about either one). I did like the pre-made forms that Dataperfect comes with. The main problem is disk space.

To display your files graphically, X-Finder automatically searches through your icons and assigns them to each of your files individually, on the basis of these rules: 1. Look for a match to the 8-character filename (e.g. med.icn for med.ndb) 2. If none, look for a match to the 3-character extension (e.g. ndb.icn for med.ndb) 3.

If so you'll need a 9 pin to 25 pin adapter to connect to the modem, Then you'll need a null modem adapter to connect the HP cable to the 9 pin end of the 9 pin to 25 pin adapter. Note: All of the above parts can be found at Radio Shack. As far as the packet driver goes. You can use the same driver that you used with lxpop. Just change COM2 to COM1 in your pppd.cfg, you might also need to change the modem int string. Also change the com settings in DataCom from 2 to 1 and rem the modem driver in your autoexec.bat.

I have ROM version 1.02a I have 1.01a. I just tried an experiment. Maybe Rod Whitby (who's original post started this testing for me) could try this to: I saved my EXKEY.INI, then deleted it and rebooted. ExKey reports no EXKEY.INI when it installs. I can now go to APPT, Daily View, and Ctrl-Up moves to the next appointment as advertised in the manual. I now created a very small EXKEY.INI, consisting of: {PrtScr}={Null} (there is a at the end of the line), rebooted, and tried this again. I find the following: 1) Ctrl-Up moves only one line/hour at a time (as though Ctrl is not even pressed, 2) If I press Ctrl-Shift-Up then it moves from appointment to appointment as documented. (BTW, CapsLock is off, according to Buddy) It looks to me as though ExKey024 is imposing a Shift into this operation..... Rod's original post said that Ctrl-Shift-Arrow didn't function as the docs of ToDo said they should unless he has CapsLock. Rod might want to try the experiment I just tried to see if ExKey is involved. --- Bruce Francis BFrancis@pobox.com For PGP Public key: email with Subject "BFrancis Public Key" ________________________________________________________ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 00:12:41 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: Fatal error:Palmemfail Out of memory in Post/lx MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 3 Jun 1999 04:49:13 -0700, garzNOSPAM@IPROLINK.CH (Andreas Garzotto) = wrote: > Martin Bergvill wrote: > > My post.cfg is now 8609 and all works good.. what can I do to "trim" > > the .cfg file some more.. > > Does not sound large.

The panel is extremely difficult to install and the power supply is external, and then to top it off the screen is generally illegible unless the backlight is on. Fun to experiment with, but not really useful as a backlighting solution. There is a bright spot on the horizon, though. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 18:44:24 -0400 Reply-To: RickRae@usa.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rick Rae Subject: FLUFF: Fatal error:Palmemfail Out of memory in Post/lx In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Sorry, but I have to share this with you all...

There is only one reason: if a software takes over the INT08 interrupt vector instead of chaining into it, then no time out count down takes place, which is done in the palmtops INT08. This is how it works: There are 2 variables in the BIOS data area, called TimOutCnt and TimOutVal. If the unit is not connected to the power supply, TimOutCnt is decremented at every timer tick in the INT08 TIMER0 interrupt. If the count is zero, deep sleep is entered. However, after every keypress, the variable TimOutCnt is reset to value of TimOutVal. That is, the value of TimOutVal determines the time in timer ticks, when the palmtop will enter deep sleep. LXPRO reads/sets the value of TimOutVal to allow you different time out values of the palmtop in the range of 1 sec to 1 hour. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 16:17:15 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: cc:LXPOP Comments: To: omnilist@elektro.cmhnet.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sorry, I meant that I am trying to run cclxpop from the desktop, then transfer my email to the palmtop via serial cable or flash card (as I understood the author of cclxpop to suggest for dual machine use).

Sounds like a job for a transistor.... a circuit such as this could be extremely simple, although it still seems to me that you could just have = an amp meter in conjuction with the solar array to determine when enough current was being generated. Remember, voltage isn't the problem, it's current which makes things work. I'm sure one of the EE's on the list = could explain it more eloquently than I. 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=3DPortable Packet| QTH Birmingham, AL USA = | *------------ Finger jeffj@scott.net for my PGP RSA key -----------* ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 13:10:34 +0930 Reply-To: rwhitby@hplx.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rod Whitby Subject: Re: ToDo.EXM and Exkey clash Comments: To: Bruce Francis Bruce Francis writes: > I just tried an experiment.

My reasons are three-fold: 1/ The extra functionality advertised for ExKey (being able to map keys ony in certain EXM applications) only works for JKIT palmtops. 2/ I was not able to swap the key bindings for Filer and X-Finder, then hit the Filer key from another Software Carousel session and get it to run X-Finder. With ExKey, it always just ran filer, but with key200 I was able to get it to run X-Finder, no matter where I hit the Filer key from. This was a big factor for me, as I'm always in a second DOS workspace developing LXTCP stuff and want to be able to swap to X-Finder in the first SYSMGR workspace just by hitting the Filer key. 3/ I didn't have the source code to ExKey, and it seemed a bit too complex to not have adverse interactions with other stuff. I've currently disabled Buddy for the same reason.

The docs for ExKey talk about fixing a shift problem to do with arrow keys. Apparently, you have to have started system manager with "100" instead of "200" for this to work. When I ran ExKey, I used to have problems with the arrow keys in PalEdit (not the fault of PalEdit, as it works fine without ExKey). -- 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, 4 Jun 1999 03:44:33 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: OLC2LX Comments: To: Mberri01@AOL.COM In-Reply-To: <67f45da0.24880d1c@aol.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Michael Berrier wrote: >do you run OL98, if so you need to have the mapping program from MS. =46or the OLC2LX converter, you don't need the field-mapping add-on from MS, because the mapping is done within the OLC2LX program.

The docs said that I could specify a timeout for the volume to close after a certain number of minutes. The line that loads it in config.sys is: device=3Dc:\secdev.sys c:\private.!@# /T5 The "/T5" should tell it to timeout after five minutes of inactivity. I expected that if I left my palmtop unused for five minutes, even with the apps open, that I would need to enter the password again before it would let the apps access the files. However, the timeout seems not to be working at all. This is the main point of installing this utility - that if I leave the palmtop unattended for a few minutes, someone won't be able to access my data I've placed on the secure volume. Has anyone figured this out? Surely I don't have to log out of the apps first.

Sh-F5 is passive, i.e. it simply overrides the CFG parameters that are in memory with the one you specify in the Sh-F5 entry. So it does not do anything like what you are looking for. The DNS and other parameters are encoded in the SETUP for the ISP in the WWW.CFG file. However: You can easily create a new script - use the same one that your ISP utilizes now - and just modify it to remove the d= command (dial the number which is in the "Dial=" parameter in the Setup). Instead add this: q=Tim, enter the full dialling string - include ATDT What q= command does is display the message you see, then it waits for the keyboard. Whatever you type on the keyboard will be passed on the modem. So to dial 1415 555 1212 for example, you will reply to the query above with "atdt14155551212" (without the quotes, of course). You'll have to add one more item to the Sh-F5 menu, namley an entry that switches the script from whatever the ISP setup has now (say ISP_PPP_Script) to the new script ISP_Man_Num. To do this, ad an item to the SH-F5 menu, and call it say, "Manual Dialling" and its value will be "Script=ISP_Man_Num" (omit the quotes). Note 1: This strategy works also with the CHAP script, since it has the command d= (Dial the content of the Dial= parameter in the Setup.) Note 2: If you have ISPs that use more than one script, then you'll need to modify each script that is used as I outlined above. Enjoy. Avi M.

Use cells that put out about 200ma. You can glue them directly to the case of the lx or make a little panel. It'll charge the batteries as you use them when there is sunlight and power the LX. The diode will prevent the batteries from damaging the cells when there's no light. It's the setup I use--works great. You can get cells at Solar World, tel # 719-635-5125.

I was born after the WWII. My parents are part of the generation you describe. They kept almost everything during thewar, because it was literally the only way to survive. Hard for my generation and your generation to even perceive of such a situation, where literally scraps of paper are valued to the point where you can exchange them for food. The stories they told me about Europe in the middle of the WWII are fascinating and hard to imagine. My father was "wealthy", because he possessed about 150 old, some used, shaving blades. These were exchangeable for three days' worth of bread. (You may be too young to remember the stainless steel blades that you had to put into the shaver, but I never kept them - when they got dull, they were thrown away. To hear that these could still be exchanged for bread was absolutely amazing to me.) I get over 200 messages per day, and sometimes much more. I delete hundreds of messages per week, sometimes in the low thousands. Still many things accumulate. I run business interests out of the palmtop, and much of my business interests is internet-centric and uses email as the primary communications mode. I admit that I only read about 50 to 75 messages daily with some attention.

I originally purchased the Greenwich printer cable directly from Greenwich. Before I purchased it I asked the sales lady if the Cable would work for what I needed it for. I had explained to her that I had a DOS accounting program that I was using to do all the book keeping & payroll for my small business. I wanted to be able to print payroll checks & reports directly from my LX. She had told me that the cable would do what I needed, and if I had any problems, I could return it for a full refund. After receiving the cable, I found I could not print from DOS with it. I had all the correct mode statements in my "autoexec.bat" file to redirect the printing requests to the parallel port to the serial port & to match the port speed to the speed of the adapter. I could print from my accounting program using my Belkin's serial-to-parallel adapter, but it required using the HP connectivity cable with it, making me carry an extra cable. So I know I was able to print from DOS. I called Greenwich and explained the above, and the sales lady that originally took my order connected me to someone in technical support. He explained to me that the sales lady was incorrect that they know full well that their cable was not compatible to print from DOS, and apologized for being mislead into buying one, and offered to return my money. That is what I did, I sent the cable back, and got a full refund. They, in my opinion, and a good company, the sales lady just did not know that their cable would not print from DOS. So now to my question. If I went through all this trouble, and Greenwich's technical support agreed with me that their cable does not print from DOS, how did the poster to the above message get theirs to print from DOS? If that is so, why does Greenwich state it will not? So anyone that is considering purchasing their cable might want to keep all this in mind before purchasing one. Maybe the have changed their cable in the last year or so, I don't know. FYI.

There is no prompting option in POST/LX, but you can create a WWW/LX script that uses s=ATDT q=Enter phone number instead of d= This will stop and prompt you with "Enter phone number" and then send to the modem whatever you enter (d= normally sends whatever you have set as the dialing string).

This is not a memory issue but a disk issue. Is the disk full? Is the current directory read only? Are you running out of file handles (FILES= in CONFIG.SYS)? Is the current directory the root directory and there are too many files already? Is there already a file named SCRATCH and it is read only? These are the most common reasons for why a file cannot be created.

Hi Robert and gang... I certainly have no reason to question your experience with the Greenwich cable, and equally no reason to doubt others who have it working in DOS. The statement from Greenwich tech support has me baffled. I've always been one of those annoying guys who can't accept answers like "because I said so" or "that's just the way it is" etc. A S-P convertor is a simple device with no artificial intelligence. I still see no way it can tell when the serial input comes from SysMgr or from DOS. Basically all it does is clock the serial data into a shift register, and when all 8 data bits are there, puts the data out on the parallel side, then pulses the /strobe line. In the other direction, it monitors the /busy line from the printer, and sends XOFF back to the computer's serial port when /busy is active. Then sends XON when /busy is released. Same procedure SysMgr or DOS. If there's any problem with printing from DOS, it's probably with the XON/XOFF handshaking. It may be that the computer (in DOS) is waiting for an initial XON - and the S-P convertor is expecting to receive data until it sends XOFF... I've noticed something like this with my "BSE Serial Port" convertor. The printer needs to be offline when first connected to the palmtop, then put online (I assume to generate the first XON) just before printing in DOS.

David, I know you seem to get really ticked about a lot of stuff but there is a real and genuine need in this day and age to encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify messages.

That's the point. I care about signatures on checks, documents, ... I don't care about the validity of signatures on UseNet messages because (a) no one would bother to `forge'; and (b) even if they did, it wouldn't matter anyway. I _do_ care about the fact that signatures add (sometimes heavy amounts of) clutter. In UseNet it doesn't matter `who' I am. As far as this particular medium is concerned I `am' a particular `text string'. If I were so demon possessed as to forge a document and claim it came from you, you'd simply publish a denial which would be just as effective irregardless of whether the fake signature was just NetScape, PGP or anything else. > Email is so easy to forge but a signature isn't > quite as easy. What kind of signature do you mean here? I can physically copy any Ascii based sig. I can even generate a PGP-valid signature which will yield the text string `Jeff Johns' and sign with that. To someone else it will look as `real' as your PGP signature. > Also, encryption will keep prying eyes out of your affairs. > These of course are my opinions, others will have varying opinions =) > Again, encryption is fine. But since the purpose of UseNet is precisely to _allow_ `prying eyes' from all over the world to see our material it has no purpose here. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with PGP (except, perhaps, that I expect someone will solve the factoring problem in the next decade or so, and then everything encrypted with PGP will suddenly be readable). I use PGP all the time for encryption in situations where it is useful (password lists, financial records, ...). And while I have a registered PGP key, and correspond with people all over the world on a very regular basis, no single person has---as yet--- requested my PGP key, or invoked any of the necessary processes to authenticate it. They know that no one would bother to write them masquerading as me, and if someone did, they'd certainly call me before doing anything unusual. I notice that you have a rather long sig. That's fine, and certainly allowed in the charter of these lists. I assume that what you say in the sig is true, but frankly it doesn't matter to me one iota whether it is or not. That's the plus and the minus of UseNet. It's a truly `democratic' forum in that anyone can claim to be anything they want. Claiming a `signature' doesn't add (even one ounce of) weight to the process. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 12:13:26 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Re: PGP and Post Comments: To: David Ness MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Fri, 4 Jun 1999 12:56:56 -0400, David Ness wrote: > Not, for the most part, on UseNet.

The most I have seen is around 200-260ma peak when first booting with a modem or older flashcard installed. The normal current on a double speed on boot up is around 100-120ma. When doing real work it stays around 45-55ma and when idle around 20-35ma. The off current is around 1-2ma. These are rough estimates from memory.

However, it is reasonable that some messages should be signed (though never encrypted). There have been a few occasions on this list where someone attempted to assume the identity of a high-profile poster and create some bluster. I believe the most recent victim was Avi. As a businessman with a market to develop and defend, it could be potentially harmful to Avi for a successful imposter to fool the subscribers to this list. A digital signature could put the whole matter to rest and even a sophisticated imposter could be exposed quickly and easily for all to see. Such things happen on UseNet quite a bit. All of the dozen or so groups I check in on have had similar episodes where high-profile posters where impersonated. The low flash-point of UseNet turned those instances into long-winded, angry threads trying to get to the bottom of the whole affair - talk about a waste of bandwidth. Again, a digital signature would have been a simple and sure solution. Finally, consider how UseNet is being used today aside from information sharing among "friends". Prospective and current employers, skip-tracers, law enforcement, university admissions offices and others can search UseNet archives for your name. How would your employer feel about those juvenile porn posts sent to UseNet under your name? How would local law enforcement feel about them? Your spouse? Constant use of a digital signature *could* help resolve these issues before they blow up on you. Larry Zimmerman PS - You could copy the PGP signature and apply it to a bogus message - I've seen people try to do that a lot. Anyone using PGP would expose that cheap trick, however. PGP signatures are "woven into the fabric" of the messages they sign; alter even a space and the signature fails. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Subject: 3 problems MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, out there, I'm completely new at this , so please bear with me: I've been using the LX200 for about 5 years and find it unsurpassed, but then my needs are not very complicated - I don't use com at all and am pretty satisfied with the built in programs (though I may need a simple word processor one of these days.) Lately 3 problems have come up and any help with them would be nice: 1) I use zip.com for backing up to the PC and it works fine. But to transfer files, I used to use either the HP connectivity pack or Ace-Link (by Ace Technologies, which doesn't exist any more). On both programs I now get an error message saying something about a 256 limit on the number of files. I've tried limiting the number of files on the HP to below 256; no change. Obviously I can't limit the number of files on the PC. Any suggestions? 2) On my old HP 95 I used the heart symbol (ASKII 003) to mark certain dates (birthdays) in the Appt book. I transfered these into the 200LX, and they print to the screen perfectly. But I am unable to create new text with this "letter". (As a matter of fact the first 10 or 12 askii symbols are not obtainable). Why ?? 3) In the slot of my LX I have a 20mg flash card from (Ace), which is my "A" drive and works well. To initialize it when necessary, I simply insert it and re-boot the computer, all the rest is automatic. I have an Omnibook 425 which died completely (HP said that the CPU went, and it is too costly to repair). Both the "C" and the "=C4" drives are flash disks and still contain information. I would like to read this with the LX. Placing these cards into the slot and re-booting doesn't work; the machine does not read the card. Do I need specific driver? Where can I get it? (These flashcards are alos from Ace) My LX is a 2 Mega machine and I load the following programs with the autoexec file: Andrew3.com Battman.exe Magnify Buddy.com Moreexm Any ideas?

I want to think thru the `Avi Forgery' (I hope he won't mind if we use that title for the `incident') situation, as it does provide a good test case. And since it was a real situation, we have handy evidence of the problems and possibilities. My quick view, though, is that the forgery was exposed quickly and dealt with properly with no bad after effect, and in a more straightforward way than if there had been a lot of fussing around about signatures. On the PGP issue, a few years ago when I registered my `sig' at MIT (I see my key is dated 1995/06/18, so it was almost exactly 4 years ago) there wasn't anything (other than good taste) that `validated' the string that my sig produced. I chose `David Ness 72400.1116@compuserve.com>' which was my EMail address at the time. AFAIK, I could have chosen any other string. I don't even know if MIT kept all of those early registrations on file, or if I would have trouble today if I registered `The Other Larry Zimmerman' or some such. But, surely there was no reason---at least then---to `believe' the text in my signature. So that side of the problem reduces to where you are going to get your public keys from, and how you establish the whole ring of trust necessary to really `tie down' those keys. Seems to me that there's no real way to do that without really going through the same process (essentially) as a bank signature authorization from a trusted bank. Isn't that what Verisign is attempting to do? Certainly one can't get a `good list' of public keys by just asking for them, because unless they are coming in via some trusted authority, you will end up with just as high a probability of a forged key as you have of a forged message.

My honest guess is that this problem is present independent of signature issues. The last local clergyman busted for kiddie porn in our area claimed that it wasn't him, and that someone had forged his `signature', but the evidence was overwhelming and he was convicted anyway. I can't imagine either the porn supplier or the porn consumer who will be interested in making sure that their correspondence is absolutely traceable, so I doubt if signature will impact this trade much. What you say is _exactly_ correct `Constant use of a digital signature *could* help resolve...'. However, given the volume and growth of Credit card transactions on the net that are taking place _without_ any of this kind of signature authentication, my guess is we are voting with our fingers. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 13:27:47 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , a123456@BITSTREAM.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Re: Solar Power Comments: To: stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > Connect two 1.5 volt cells in series with a diode The problem is that the diode is going to have a .6-.7 volt drop across it, which I think will make it require more sunlight to be useful.

This is an interesting conversation topic in itself. Several of the lists I regularly communicate with have many correspondents that work for large banks. Some of these banks _require_ that their employees have sigs that are several paragraphs of financial blabber (`The opinions expressed ... should not be interpreted as an attempt to sell ... ). Such blabber is (a) huge; (b) boring; and (c) surely `expensive' to the 200lx palmtopper who might see it 10-20 times in a typical day given the traffic on these lists. If we are not careful we will soon end up in a situation where some newsgroups _will require_ things that other newsgroups _disallow_. Then we'll all be in a fine mess... Of course, YMMV, but since I expect anyone who wants to contact me further already knows (because I use a `real' return address) how to reach me to find out any of the other ways to reach me (phone numbers, postal addresses, web pages, ...), I find sigs, particularly long sigs with ASCII drawings that look like garbage in NetScape, to be an unnecessary burden on the reader. And information that might be of casual interest (aphorisms, cute sayings, computer languages one likes, hobbies, opinions of sports teams ...) is probably ok the first time I see it, but when I read 10 messages in one sitting from someone who signs with something `clever' it gets old real quick. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 12:33:08 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: cc:LXPOP Comments: To: omnilist@elektro.cmhnet.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I stand corrected on my original post. After reviewing the first announcement of ccLXPOP. It is possibile to run ccLXPOP from your Desktop PC without a Desktop version of cc:Mail. For some unknown reason I was thinking of reading instead of downloading. Anyway! Here is how I did it: I placed cclxpop.exe, pppd.cfg, wattcp.cfg, cclxpop.bat and the entire cc:Mail "mail" directory on my flash card. Changed com1 to com2 in the pppd.cfg Changed cclxpop.spooldir=c:\_dat\mail\ in the wattcp.cfg to cclxpop.spooldir=f:\mail\ Note: f:\ is my flash cards slot on my desktop. Then ran cclxpop.bat from DOS. Note: cclxpop.bat is what I use to run epppd.exe, cclxpop.exe and termin.com). Note: The same external modem that I use on my Desktop is one and the same for the palmtop. So my original modem int string in my pppd.cfg went unchanged.

Think of a type II card with a pcmcia slot connector on the exposed end. You plug that into the type II slot and then plug the HD into the connector on the exposed end, totally outside the computer. This allows a type III device to fit into a type II slot. They are also used in cases where you have two type II slots stacked for one type III but you want to use BOTH a type II and a type III card at the same time. A normal type adaptor will not address the power requirement issues of the LX, therefor it will not probably support a type III HD since they often need more than the 150ma available from the LX type II slot. There is a company, greystone I think, that makes a type adaptor that includes an external power adaptor so that the external device doesn't draw power from the slot, it gets it directly from the type adaptor. This is similar to the accurite doubleslot without the extra slot or need for any special drivers. Pete Peter W.

It comes up at power-on in less than 1 second. Same with everything closed and topcard showing. Filer takes about 6 seconds to come up when first started. Same with LX-Filer and Stereo Shell. I have X-Finder set up to not show disk space, and it shows file listings almost instantly. With "show disk space" selected it's again about 6 seconds. As I recall it took the same time when it was empty as it does now with about 45MB of files.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to modify to hook up or clamp to the LX and use its batteries (which can be recharged easily via solar or the crank). It's also *much* smaller than those crank-up radios they sell for about 75$. I'll see what the actual name of the radio is. Just send me some e-mail if you're interested to remind me.

I think it's a worthwhile experiment for any group so that they can get a view of (a) what signing gains; and (b) what trouble signing costs. It was similar experiments about 3 yrs ago that caused me to pretty much drop PGP for `active communication', reserving it only for circumstances where either the encryption or some elaborate security was required. My _only_ concern v-a-v lists and groups is that people not get in the habit of `signing' where it isn't important. I won't drag you, or the group, through the stories of what a nuisance Netscape's `Signed' feature causes over there, but every so often someone rediscovers the `Signed' and `Business Card' features of NetScape and starts to load up traffic with very substantial overhead that contributes nothing to the quality or content of the communications. It's that aspect that I resist. Paul Yarnell wrote: > > Agreed, here, probably not needed,elsewhere becoming somewhat desirable > for reasons Jeff has described and more.

If the icon came with the app, I assume it has the same name as the executable. If you're using MaxDOS, put only the path to the DOS executable in the path line. Tab to the icon selection, and pick the icon. Tab back to the path, and add MaxDOS at the front of the line. Then, if everything is OK - hit F10.

Note that it won't ask for pw at the end of the timeout period. All that happens is the encrypted disk becomes unavailable causing an Abort, Retry, oe Ignore prompt the next time the disk is accessed. After access has timed out you must Login again to get to your data. If you're running Software Carousel you don't have to Login from the same session. If I've timed out and am getting Retry prompt I can switch to another SC session, Login, and switch back to reply Retry to reaccess the disk. If your drive isn't timing out at all I would start looking at other programs and/or TSRs. Something must be periodicly accessing that disk which resets it's timeout counter. cheers...

The drop is not a problem and it is much cheaper using individual cells instead of a ready made panel. Depending on the current output they start at a couple dollars and go up. I bought a ready made panel for 20 bucks. Made one for half that with twice the output. A special reverse blocking circuit is *really* overkill and you'll still have losses.

In the case of batteries, the chemical transformations cause various incomplete reactions to take place, and so the ability of batteries to accumulate current and then disgorge it drops (I am speaking of rechargeable ones only) with time. Some of the batteries have better ability to "rejuvenate" and restore a more complete transformation with the benefit of restoring the capacity etc. I believe that the "memory effect" which seems to have been scientifically recorded one time in one satellite, pertains to the permanent change in the battery's inability to restore the chemical balance. As such maybe it is better to call it "amnesia" or "lobotomy" - and that is pretty much irreversible. But again, that was documented once. In general, rechargeable batteries are systems that can shuttle electrons back and forth, and though their ability to do so declines because of incomplete chemistry, it is generally mostly a reversible effect. For practical purposes, the batteries we use in the palmtops, while surely experiencing effects of charge/discharge cycles, are hardly affected by the incomplete chemistry, provided the usage of the batteries is rational! By that I mean: When you charge them you don't try to push them into stratospheric voltages. That you do not expose them overcharging for very long periods of time (the heat that is generated kills the batteries faster than anything else). That you use the batteries, not abuse them. (This is a good place to pitch ABC/LX - ok, pitch done! :¨ ) There are several ways to restore the capacity and you mentioned one. Having said this, I also want to add that like any chemical system the wear and tear _does_ have permanent effects on _all_ types of batteries. Eventually the chemicals do break down, and not amount of anything will restore them to the old glory. That is why batteries have a rating of how many charge cycles they can take. My real question to everyone is this: So you buy a pair for $10-15 and you use them for a year, two years. Maybe more. What is amazing to me is that perfectly rational people here will spend time and effort to make sure their auto brakes are in top condition, even replace bake pads earlier than necessary, but when it comes to a 3 year old pair of NiMH people get upset if they do not get 9h15m but only 8h22m of service, or even only 5h10m! We should consider the batteries as an insurance policy - not an energy source! Well, that's my $0.02 on this topic. Avi M.

Avi- I agree in principle - would agree 100% if it took 2 years or more for a significant decrease in capacity in the batteries I've used. Unfortunately, it has been more like 3 months. There are many electrode alloys used in NiMH cells, and probably some tolerate partial charge/discharge cycles better than others. Just got some Panasonic 1500 mAHr NiMH from DigiKey, so will see how they do. When the usable time for the cells drops to whatever you use in one day, it's time to replace or recondition. If the reconditioning works - why not? A charge control program is a must for preserving the health of the rechargeables in the palmtop. (ABC/LX - Charge-It! or whatever). -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Jun 1999 15:57:14 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Re: Auto-shutoff time?

If it doesn't work for you, try to find out, which DOS program (you used before) could cause the problem by taking over the INT08 interrupt. I only know of two applications, taking over the INT08: Win3.0 and MS-Word 5.0 Old DOS games may also be problematic, because they use the INT08 for timing purposes. Unlike on desktops, the INT08 on the palmtop houses many palmtop specific features like sleep modes, cursor track and wake up events. NOTE: If one application took over the INT08 once without reinstalling the old vector, your palmtop will no longer go into sleep mode. You have to reboot.

My 10MB SanDisk used 4KB clusters, but I changed the size to 1KB clusters using the program 1KCLUST from SUPER.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit FWIW, I am having much better luck with the rechargable NiMH batteries than I ever did with NiCd in all of my devices. YMMV. It was rare (miracle) if I got the rated "300 charges" out of a NiCd. battery, usually one cell would die after a month or so. I have 16 NiMH cells, that I use in my digital camera, and I have had the oldest set for over two years, and probably recharged almost every day, more than 200 times anyway, with no observerved decrease in capacity. I never had a NiCd last this long. The only disadvantage to using in the HP200 is that the NiMH have high self discharge, and after a week you might have lost say half of the capacity just that way, so you will probably have to change cells every week. Another plus of NiMH is that you may recharge whenever you want to.

I have 3 sets of RadioShack HiCap NiCads (2 about 3 years old, the other less than 1). Recharged more-or-less every other day. Never had one of these die (yet). Even allowing them to discharge until the "low battery" warning, they lose a substantial capacity in about 3 months. All 3 sets recondition well, and are restored to almost original capacity. Tried the RS 1200 mAHr NiMH, and got less life from them 8-( Now trying the new Panasonic 1500 mAHr NiMH. > The only > disadvantage to using in the HP200 is that the NiMH have high self > discharge, and after a week you might have lost say half of the capacity > just that way, so you will probably have to change cells every week. > Another plus of NiMH is that you may recharge whenever you want to. Some newer NiMH seem to have solved the self-discharge problem. The ones sold by Mack and Thaddeus, and the Panasonic ones are supposed to be equal or better than NiCads for self-discharge. BTW - The Panasonic NiMH manual says that they will lose some capacity if regularly only partially discharged and recharged. -Peniel ------------ > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Jun 1999 09:47:26 -0500 Reply-To: theise@netins.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Theodore Heise Subject: Re: How do you have lxnntp download only headers?

I believe that is a personal decision each individual must make. My level of trust is mainly determined by the source of the key. I'm generally satisfied if I get the key by fingering someone's shell account or from a key server. I'm a little less confident if it came from a web page. E-mail correspondence it's okay, but unsolicited e-mail or Usenet I do not trust. Of course, I also factor in my knowledge of the person. If I have read consistent posts and e-mails from them for some time, I have a pretty good degree of confidence. If the person is relatively new or unknown (to me) I will check out Deja News, listserv archives, and White Pages information for consistency, looking carefully at headers. These are basically the same precautions I take if I am making an online purchase or sale. Interesting discussion, thanks for the thoughts folks.

You can view the screen in a smaller window but it is `frozen' until you let it take over the whole screen. As this doesn't inconvenience me, I haven't attempted to find a work- around.

Due to the 16-bit FAT, there can only be 65,536 (or something like that) clusters. So you couldn't have 1K clusters if the drive is bigger than 64MB.

Or said in other words, does a 440MB flash card compulsorily use 8K cluster size, so that the total number of allocation units is only 440.000/8 =3D 55000 and hence a 16bit value? My average file size is 22K (calculated from CHKDSK info). That is, on a 440MB flash card I can store 20.000 files. Assuming the individual file size is equally distributed, I would loose in general 4K disk space with every file I store on the card, if the cluster size is 8K. Altogether I would loose 20.000*4K =3D 80MB on a 440MB card, yielding a net storage capacity of only 360MB. The same calculation on a 220MB flash card with 4K cluster size looks much better. I only loose 20MB and have a net rate of 200MB. That is, a 440MB card is only 160MB (=3D360MB-200MB)larger than a 220MB card concerning my file size profile. 60MB are wasted through the cluster size of 8K. That equals roughly $300. Viewed from the price/size ratio, you pay less per MB storage, the higher the capacity of the card. But this is only theoretically true, because you are wasting much of the higher capacity, resulting in a higher price per MB of the real space you can use for storage on these bigger cards. Hence the cluster size is quite important.

Probably need to run that to get a B: drive. > My 1 cents Well, the SDK states: "The plug-in card disk driver is Microsoft CARDDRV with extensions. CARDDRV uses the CardBIOS layer to actually read and write data, learn of card changes, etc. See the PCMCIA chapter for infomation on CardBIOS. CARDDRV uses drive letters A and B. Drive letter B is used for the second partition on a plug-in card, but partitions of this sort are never used in practice so drive B is never used in practice. This is not a loss since drive letter B needed to be used up somehow so that the RAM disk, which acts like the palmtop's hard disk, would be the industry standard hard disk drive C. If a two-slot version of the HP palmtop had ever been made, it is likely that drive B would have been changed to be used for that slot." But partitioning the card is not easy, and nobody's gotten it to work yet. If somebody could figure it out, we could have lots more free space on our giant flash cards, as well as (possibly) using larger flash cards than 540MB (if, in fact, the 200LX has that limitation). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Jun 1999 13:27:52 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Flash Card Delay after Power On In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sat, 5 Jun 1999, Stefan Peichl wrote: > Does anybody know, if the total number of allocation units on a disk > may exceed 65535 (16bit)?

Hence the cluster size is quite important. It's incredibly important for the 200LX... which is why I really wish we could find some way to partition the cards. Then a 440MB card could be two 220MB cards, and use 4K clusters, which would be efficient.

This strategy will not work automatically. Here is why: There is a table on the disk called FAT - File Allocation Table. It addresses each cluster on the drive. The maximum number of clusters it can address is 65,536. To determine if you can make the cluster size as small as 512 bytes divide the total space of the disk by 512. If you get a number larger than 65,536, you will not be able to address all the clusters, since the max is 65,536. Example: I have a 160M drive. That is 160,763,904 bytes total disk space. It will take 313,992 clusters of 512 bytes each to cover the whole disk. But I'll be addressing at most 65,536 or 33,554,432 bytes - a waste of 130M or so. Let's see 160M / 2048 = 78,498 - and I'll cover 65,536 * 2048 = 134,217,728 byte - still wasting nearly 30M. Clustersize 4096 yields 39,249 clusters, and there is waste due to lack of addressing clusters. There is another waste factor associated with clusters: It is called slack and it is due to the fact that files are allocated in whole clusters. So an icon file at 200 bytes takes 3896 byte in addition on my disk, and that 3800+ byte is wasted = slack. You can easily check and see if it makes sense to allocate 512 byte sectors. If you have huge files, then a small cluster is a bad idea. If you have many many smaller files, a small cluster is a better idea - but it is subject to the constraints above. Good luck. Avi M.

If you use MaxDOS the way you do, SysMgr is swapped out of memory and therefore, MEMO cannot be launched (because it is simply not there). So I suggest to use a different editor instead of MEMO, e.g. PE. > The only TSR running > is nofiddle Nofiddle is not a TSR, BTW.

It has nothing to do with your current problem, but it takes up a few K of RAM (it is a TSR) and can be harmful in combination with some programs.

With my typical file size of 22K, a 880MB would only be a real 560MB card, so there is no need for me to wait for that one. I guess, a 220MB card is a good compromise concerning price and waste of capacity because of cluster size. Another solution, I have to consider, is to get a 64MB CF with 1K clusters for backing up my 64MB RAM drive (I hate to rely on a desktop for backups) and wait for a 128MB CF with 2K clusters for general use.

I have a doublespeed 6MB HP 200LX and I use the port operated Greenwich serial to parallel connector GA945-HP to print on Epson LQ 850, 570, Olivetti JP 360, LJ 6L, Star NP10 and in the modification I have described on this list I use the same cable for serial conections of the 200LX to other PCs. The only limitation this cable from Greenwich has (and which is mentioned also in the leaflet that comes with it is, that some printers may print a single character before starting to print what is being sent to the printer). The cable costs here in the Czech Republic about 30$. I have seldomly encountered the situatiin, when things start printing nonsence. The easiest fix for this is to go to Memo editor, write a few random characters and print them through the Greenwich cable, then go back to DOS and things are always fine. As this has helped always, I have never pursued what makes the 200LX print the nonsence and what this swich from DOS to Memo and DOS really does. I print form Qedit, askSam (a superb DOS hypertext database -see www.asksam.com- and PIM, MS-Word for DOS ver. 5.5, Norton Commander etc.). As I think that printing-on-the-road is essential for many. Also repeatedly in the Palmtop Catalogue and the HP Palmtop Paper it says for the Greenwich cable " ...print form Memo, 1-2-3, Phone, other built-ins, or your favorite DOS program". I hope this helps people deciding on the easiest, most portable a nd economical printing method for the 95LX (with 9 to 4 pin converter), 100 and 200LX and Omnigo.

This always happens with the lxmap page: http://www.palmtop.net/lxmap.html I see the value '1000' in the upper left corner and indexing reaches page 5 and that was it. I also have trouble to download files which are redirected to www.thaddeus.com/ftp/. I can only download them through direct access on the thaddeus site. I have no idea, if all this is related to my ISP or the SUPER page or HV or all three together? A nice solution would be an automatic email service of SUPER: I send an email to a special super address and the body of the email contains a zip file name. In return I get the file send as attachment to my address. That would make me more independent from HV and downloads could take place at email download speed.

As I do not use a browser on my Hp200lx, I had been looking for an internet-service, which will send you any webpage/file by email attachement, some while ago, but without success. I darkly remember that I heard about this kind of service somewhere somewhen (Maybe I just dreamt about it). Does anybody know whether something like this exists? I had also been looking for a reasonable "news by email" service in vain. I would be interested in getting world/european/german news by email.

Yes it does, for 99.4% of the DOS programs. But if the DOS program takes over the Int08, then it will inadvertantly disable the auto shutoff. I don't know if there is anything that can be done to "fix" a DOS program that messes up the auto shutoff. Usually, though, when you quite that DOS program, it puts the interrupt vector back and auto shutoff should be re-activated. If your DOS program does this, then one solution is to just quit the DOS program when you want to turn the palmtop off.

Use &More Menu Application Terminate all to quite SysMgr. Then at the DOS prompt, use the MEM command to tell you how much free RAM you have. How much does it report?

I use a different S-P convertor, but with mine, the garbage characters result from having the port set to the wrong speed. It has happened after using email or browsing the web, since my LX-to-modem speed is 19200 and the S-P wants 9600 bps. Probably going into MEMO sets the speed back to 9600. Now I start my DOS apps that involve printing from batch files to set port speed to 9600. No more problems.

Recondition means discharging the batteries to at least 1.00V (for AA-cells) and fully charging them again. As it has been stated here before, you cannot discharge the batteries with the HPLX to this level, so you can either get yourself a charger with discharge functionality or put the batteries into a flashlight or something similar and leave it on until they are completely empty. The manual of my charger even states that the discharge-recharge cycle should be repeated several times for "badly treated" rechargebles to restore their original capacity.

I have used Filer and ACElink to surf all around the giant hard drive of my PC without any problem like this. I would certainly help if you explained when and where you get this error message. Do you get it from the palmtop's Filer while its connected to ACElink or the CPACK Filer? Or do you get that report on the CPACK Filer while looking at the palmtop's drives? Which drive are you telling Filer to go to when this happens? Which directory or subdirectory? Or does it happen all the time no matter where you go? I suspect there is one directory on your desktop that you are trying to go to with the palmtop's Filer and there is more than 256 files in that directory. If this is the case, then don't go there. This 256 file limit is not a serious error that will cause data loss, it is just that Filer will only show you the first 256 files of the X number that are there. You can still use Filer to copy/move files as long as the ones from the desktop you want to use are in Filer's list. > 2) On my old HP 95 I used the heart symbol (ASKII 003) to mark certain > dates (birthdays) in the Appt book.

(These flashcards are alos from Ace) You did not give us your CONFIG.SYS file. Are you using Stacker? If yes, then you insert those other flash cards, Stacker is looking for the Stacked Volume on them to make the A: drive. You will need to temporarily NOT load Stacker and then you will probably be able to use those two flash cards from the OB425. You can NOT load Stacker by editing the CONFIG.SYS file and putting the word REM in front of the line that loads the Stacker driver. Then save the file and reboot with no card in the slot. Then after SysMgr is up, turn the machine off, insert one of the 425 flashcards, power up and then start Filer. You should see the files on A: now.

This is perfectly safe for data as long as you regularly change the backup battery when it is below 2.98 volts. You also shouldn't go below 1.1 volts per cell with cells in series since you signifigantly increase the chance of shorting a cell if it goes below 1 volt. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 6 Jun 1999 13:15:36 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: NiCd - NiMH factoids...

Hi Bob- Reinhard gave an excellent answer. Only one thing to add. When discharging the cells, it's much better to do it individually. If they're fully discharged in pairs or groups, the weakest cells will be "reverse charged" as the stronger cells run down. Not too good for the weaker cells. Mack and Thaddeus are selling NiMH with a capacity of 1350 mAHr, and DigiKey has Panasonic NiMH (1500 mAHr). Both are supposed to be formulated to overcome the self-discharge problem of older NiMH. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Jun 1999 18:46:45 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Cripps Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Cripps Subject: Power Consumption of HP200LX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi, I've been reading the thread on NiCd/NiMH cells for a few days and have just been playing with the HP, with various options to see the current draw. Some interesting results: Single Speed 4MB unit in App Mgr 22mA Single Speed in DOS 40mA Single Speed with Flash in AppMge 40mA Single Speed with Flash in DOS 40mA Double Sp 64M unit in App Mgr 28mA Double Sp 64M unit in DOS 55mA Double Sp 64M unit & Soft Carousel 55mA Double Sp 64M with Flash in AppMge 55mA Double Sp 64M with Flash in DOS 55mA DS in DOS & Psion Modem (offline) 110mA DS in DOS & Psion Modem (online) 280mA ! DS in DOS & Accton NIC 85mA DS in DOS & Accton NIC Telnet ses 95mA The conclusion seems to be the power managment of the application manager is great (50% saving), but is worthless if a Flash card is inserted or you move out of App Manager (into DOS or Software Carousel). The Accton Network card takes only 30-40mA (quite low!), and my Psion Modem takes 55-230mA (very high, so I'm now looking at another card!!). So the debate on the life of NiCd or NiMh might need to be re-evaluated now that our poor little HPLXs are being made to do much more (by the likes of excellent such as Software Carousel, Going Postal, WWWLX, PocketWatch et al) than they used to do in the "good old days".

You are correct in that the number of files/subdirectories in the root are set by the format of the drive.

That would be _such_ useful! Mitch could set up a mailing list containing all interested people, who want to receive his super.gdb file. Everytime an update is made on super, he could send out his new super.gdb. If one of us looks for a special program, he could so a search simply in the super.gdb file, send an email to the email service server and receive the requested software a few minutes later as email. No dependance on any browser program to search for software and download it, no long, long times just waiting for downloading a program (with HV, the downloading of a 100kB file somtimes takes 10 minutes or so - ofter I get a timeout error while waiting!!)...

My real world schedule makes it very difficult to make SUPER updates at time and the less I have to do for each update, the better chance that they will get made. > If one of us looks for a special program, he could so a search simply > in the super.gdb file, send an email to the email service server and > receive the requested software a few minutes later as email. Believe it or not, I had this type of service set up on my server a couple of years ago and hardly anyone used it. An FTPMAIL server is not only a security risk, but it puts a big demand on an already stressed slow connection. Finally, most of the palmtop.net files are served from a machine hosted by Thaddeus Computing due to my bandwidth limitations. I only have ftp and telnet access to their machine and no permissions to do sysadmin work. I would be happy to set up a mail alias that would forward to a ftpmail daemon on their machine, but they would have to agree to doing such a thing. > Mitch, do you have some time left??? ;-) As you see, it's not just the time, it's the resources and bandwidth to pull it off. Most people find it hard to believe that palmtop.net is a hand-built P133 sitting in my basement office and greeting the world through a 56K dialup for the last 3 years. It has worked hard this year: 10:00am up 128 days, 13:03, 2 users, load average: 0.63, 0.24, 0.14 Try going 4 months without rebooting a Windows-based server. :) -- Mitch SUPER Team ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 10:12:11 -0400 Reply-To: bobp@fpk.hp.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Phillips Organization: Hewlett-Packard NJ Development Lab Subject: Stacker and Large Flash Cards MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I don't have experience with the large flash cards, but I do have plenty of experience with Stacker on both the 100LX and 200LX. On a single-speed machine, the performance penalty is minimal (at least to my eye -- I do keep all the built-in applications' data on the C: drive, though). I don't notice the memory penalty at all (41K), but then, I don't have any killer applications that require more than 500K of DOS RAM. All in all, I have nothing but good things to say about Stacker on the palmtop. As for David Sargeant, who needs a way to read data from a Windows box's card reader, have you tried the "Stacker Anywhere" stuff (from Ver 3.0 on, I think). Stac provides a .exe program that provides a command shell that allows one to read a Stacked drive without installing a driver. The drawback is that the shell prints a nag sentence after every command execution. My flash cards are configured to put an autoexec.bat, config.sys, stacker.com, stacker.exe (the "Stacker Anywhere" program), and check.exe (Stacker drive verification program) on the unStacked area of the flash card. Autoexec.bat is not strictly necessary, since it will be ignored once stacker.com is loaded, but I keep a copy here in case my stacked drive blows up (hasn't happened yet). On boot, the LX goes to the config.sys (installing stacker.com) and then to the autoexec.bat on the Stacked part of the drive (cic100 is Rem'd out, since I'm not using a modem if I'm using a Stacked flash card). I've successfully used stacker.exe to read cards over LapLink.

I've been involved in some of the `content provider' discussions, and there are some _very_ attractive aspects of the Palm Wireless service for a large number of clients not currently well served by existing palmtop and wireless cellular capabilities. I don't have any doubt that it may not be a good deal for you, or for most regular internet users, but I'd be a little careful about a blanket statement, as others who have _very different_ needs than yours may find it quite useful. The service has a long evolution ahead of it, _if_ it succeeds well enough to survive. It remains to be seen, of course, whether it will succeed, but remember there _were_ people who said a pocket machine without a keyboard was pointless, and now several million Palms and Rexes later that looks like a somewhat hasty judgement. Suffice it to say: (1) The _current_ Palm Wireless service is quite limited; (2) It _does not_ now provide `generalized Internet access'; (3) The current service is quite expensive (at least to those of us used to moving around lots of information very cheaply on the net); (4) It is much more `seamless' than typical internet access (or I should really say `should be much more seamless').

I guess this has to do with the terminal settings on the UNIX account you log into. I don't think the telnet client can do something about that. Does it work with some other telnet client?

I have been following this discussion, and I think this is the issue. Either Jeff's shell account is set for a different-than-expected-by- LXTELNET, or LXTELNET isn't implementing some of the VT100 commands. Jeff: you can check your terminal settings by doing the following UNIX command at the prompt (this assumes your using the Bourne shell): echo $TERM you should get something like "VT100" as an answer. If not, I can work with you on setting it differently. We'll have to find out exactly what terminal LXTELNET is programmed to emulate. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

It does work with software such as BananaComm and DataComm. It also works with 'true' telnet clients such as MiniTelnet (MT) and Rod Whitby's LXTELNET.

With pine, there is simply no highlight using Telnet/LX. Using COMMO to dial in (VT100 emulation) works as expected. With Telnet/LX, Lynx displays some garbage characters, and the lines are printed all over the screen with random tabs and spacing.

In my experiences, what is probably happening is that we don't have support for a particular VT-100 command in TELNET/LX - although this is just a guess. There are quite a few vt-100 commands, and I've heard that sometimes an emulator will chose to implement only a sub-set of them. You may want to check w/Andreas and see if any particular command or group of command were omitted that may relate to your highlighting problem. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

This is all _so_ weird! Seems like everybody but me is having all kinds o' trouble with rechargeables. I don't know what the previous poster meant by "reconditioning", but the things I've seen advocated for that purpose are deep-discharging, and zapping. Fans of deep discharging will advocate putting a little light-bulb across a single cell at a time, and running it down until it's stone dead, then recharging it. Don't deep charge whole battery packs at once, since doing that will put a highly-destructive reverse voltage across the first cell to discharge. Zapping goes along with the theory that batteries lose capacity because of little conductive whiskers that grow between the contacts; the usual recommendation seems to be to dump a capacitor and let the current surge fry the little whiskers into oblivion. Do it in a blast chamber says I:-). I've used two pairs of AAs, each for a couple of years. First I bought a pair of Radio Shack "High Capacity" NiCD AAs, 850mAH. They were as far as I know still fine a couple of years later when I upgraded to the pair of Radio Shack NiMH's I'm using now (not positive their rated capacity, but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200mAH). They're also still working fine. My strategy is simple, so very simple: (1) I use the builtin charger in my 100/200LX; it's the only recharger I have. I never take the batteries out; the battery cover never comes off. (2) When I buy the batteries and they are brand new and dead, I run 'em through a couple of the LX's 6-hour high-current charge cycles to mostly fill 'em up. (3) Once they have gotten their initial fill-up, I install batset (available from S.U.P.E.R.İ1¨), with the line in autoexec.bat: batset /c/t=00:01 so that from then on, whenever I plug the LX in, it gets only one minute (the minimum supported) of high-current charge, and immediately drops down to trickle. I plug the LX in whenever I'm at my desk or at home asleep. (4) When an exception comes up, and I can't charge for some time --- e.g. like last sommer when I was sailing for a couple of weeks --- when I get home, I give it a 6-hour cycle just to make sure it's well off dead. (5) I carry around a mini-maglite with two of the single-user infinite-shelflife Lithiums, as a backups in case my batteries ever do go dead, but it hasn't happened yet. The operational theory behind my strategy is that "memory effect" is a myth, overcharging at high current damages cells, but trickle charging is benign. So far so good! -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 11:30:32 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: Using a Linear Flash Card Comments: To: jconsuegra@RETEVISION.ES MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ok Jesus, Can you post an example of your linear setup. -------------------------- Reply Separator --------------------------- Sorry to disagree.

This is the memory that can be used for OTHER programs (e.g. an editor started from POST/LX). If you get a PalMemFail, it means that the INTERNAL memory of POST/LX is full. POST/LX only has about 40k of memory available. That memory, it has to use for EVERYTHING (e.g. the configuration data, graphical backgrounds of GUI windows, indexes, temporary work memory, fonts etc.). The most memory hungry part is the configuration. If you strip out things like comments and empty lines and shorten names, you gain a lot of memory.

There are hundreds of mysterious commands nobody uses (nor knows). But I also implemented "just the most important ones", so it is very well possible that there are some used ones that I have not implemented.

Well, I haven't tried using either gizmo with plain DOS, but I _know_ Zip drives and Jaz drives are removable media that support multiple partitions, and the multiple partitions have worked fine under Linux with no special help since the boxes were introduced, which suggests to me at least that the basic standards for handling removable hard drives under DOS would probably work fine with multiple partitions --- Linux hasn't been especially fast to successfully reverse-engineer concealed proprietary Windows-only interfaces, and when it supports something perfectly the moment it comes out it generally means its doing things in a standard fashion. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 11:58:18 -0700 Reply-To: Ken Moore Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken Moore Subject: Re: Can 200lx and Windows 98 work together?

FWIW: Actually, when Telnet/LX was first released(or there abouts) I had the exact same problem (just telneted to UConn's UNIX box and verified it now). I don't use PINE that much, and only really use the mail on UNIX as a redirector for the HPLX-L archives, so it wasn't a big deal. I was using NetTamer to TelNet and that seemed to work fine. My priority at the time was a 3270 emulator( which I finally got working thru the Clarkson Univ TCP package).

That's easy to fix, assuming the programmer who wrote your irc client used standard terminal management libraries (like curses). On my system, again under the Bourne shell (bash), I use the evnironment variables LINES and COLUMNS to set non-standard screen sizes.

Jeff: Another possibility, and this might be hard to track down, is that there is a slight error in the handling of the cursor codes by TELNET/LX. Back in college I wrote a VT-100 emulator (for my co-op job), and as Andreas says, there are zillions of codes - and sometimes the desired action isn't always clear. At the time, the one sure check was to bounce my program's behaviour against a real VT-100, but they are getting harder and harder to come by these days. I think there's an active group (mailing list or usenet, can't recall which) that deals almost entirely with these kinds of issues. I ran into them trying to track down the TERMCAP entry for my previously-mentioned funky DG laptop. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I plug the LX in whenever I'm at my desk or at home asleep. Or you could use the DOS program TRICKLE the the charge.zip package I made for Super. TRICKLE enables charging but sets the HP up for trickle charging straight away. There is also a CHARGE which lets you turn charging off from DOS. Hmm, thanks for your input.

There is no such program called LX/TELNET. There are two telnet programs designed specifically for the HP200LX which could resemble that name: LXTELNET (derived from NCSA Telnet, and modified for use on the HP200LX by me) is a freeware component of LXTCP (lxtcp.hplx.net), and the claim is that it does full VT220 emulation (which is a superset of VT100). If anyone finds a case where it doesn't then please let me know, cause I depend upon it being a true VT220 terminal (mainly to run XEmacs on Unix when dialled up). Telnet/LX (written by Andreas) is a freeware companion program for WWW/LX (www.dasoft.com). As far as I know, no claim has been made that it does full VT100 emulation, but Andreas has said that he will make it do full VT100 emulation if possible (and if someone points out where it does not emulate VT100 correctly).

Andreas, Feel free to take a look at the source code for LXTELNET (part of LXTCP). It works with Lynx, Pine, XEmacs, etc. displaying reverse characters, so it must have the right VT sequences in there. It's supposed to fully emulate VT220. Note that I can take no credit for it working - the VT code is taken from NCSA Telnet (which had a licensing agreement which explicitly puts the code in the public domain, allowing you to use it for commercial purposes). -- Rod Whitby, Staff Engineer, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Personal: rwhitby@hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 16:41:21 +0930 Reply-To: rwhitby@hplx.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rod Whitby Subject: Re: A couple more WWW/LX Questions.....

The only thing I can offer is the source code. I haven't changed the VT220 emulation in LXTELNET from when it was NCSA Telnet, and Andreas probably knows lots more about VT100 emulation than I do (cause he actually wrote the code for Telnet/LX, whereas I just modified existing code from NCSA Telnet). -- Rod Whitby, Staff Engineer, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Personal: rwhitby@hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 10:41:41 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Axel Klag Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Axel Klag Subject: Re: X-Finder / Memo as Editor Comments: To: qman@earthlink.net In-Reply-To: <199905311728.KAA08529@avocet.prod.itd.earthlink.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi QMan, finally I succeded nearly with the following: #Editor Setting %e ,b800 ,$c %p%c;$ {xb800}{F9}{Paste}{Enter} #Memo This is similar to what You suggested, but not specified for file-extensions.

Switching power supplies are smaller, lighter, more efficient, and AFAIK always regulated. (Also more expensive). Regulated linear supplies are generally bigger and heavier, and much less efficient. Most adapters aren't regulated at all. A "12V" unregulated supply may actually provide 14-15 volts (maybe more) with no load, but may be quite a bit less than 12V at full rated load.

Why is > switching better? Someone already answered the efficiency and weight issues - but the original post on this subject implied that the switchers were better because they were well regulated. Well, the regulation function is independent of whether a supply is linear or swithed. If a linear supply exhibits poor/no regulation, it is because it isn't well regulated (or regulated at all), *not* because it's a linear supply. OTOH, as already pointed out, a switching supply, by it's fundamental design, *must* always be regulated, whereas one can build a linear supply with or without regulation. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

It seems like when you get a post.cfg file above somewhere over 8300: (running only post) 1. You will first get Palfail when you try too open the About screen when you are standing in a folder with more than 0 messages. 2. If your post.cfg are bigger than 8500 then you will have problems moving messages between folders without getting the "Palmfail" These are approx values. I have not tested it that much.

The orginal post said Radio Shack wall warts were not well regulated, and never suggested it was because they were linear. In fact, I believe the post went something like this, "Radio Shack supplies are not very well regulated, and are linear, the 200LX really needs a switching power supply." I'm curious where you get the idea from this post that the poster was implying ALL linear power were unregulated or that he was implying regulation was a function of the TYPE of power supply. You shouldn't try to make yourself look smart at other peoples expense, you just make yourself look stupid. After all reading is a function of intelligence. Switching supplies can be, by their very nature, quite noisey and unstable. Like anything a person has to check into them before they buy. The Thaddeus 12 volt switcher is an excellant supply for the price. Very small and very stable. The only thing is its not a univerisal input supply so it needs either 120 US or 100 Japan.

I am not suggesting that we trash the environment with spent batteries because we treat them badly. My current set of NiMH batteries are 3 years and 5 months old and still going strong. I have treated them responsibly but not worried needlessly about them either. I guess I am just suggesting a little more balance, that is all. And my comments were not pointed at anyone in particular. I have no problem discussing anything here. But, it seems to me that sometimes a person comes here a little concerned about an issue and with all of our technical discussions about every little detail of the issue, we might tend to encourage a simple worry to grow into an obsession. As a silly example, if a person asks me what time it is, I should not explain to him how to build a watch. Then he might think that the only way to tell time is to built his own watch. Technical discussions are great, but sometimes the simple answers are good too.

Thanks for doing that. I think the difference in power consumption when sitting idle in a SysMgr application vs at the DOS prompt has to do with the level of power savings the palmtop's BIOS can do. SysMgr applications use a different keyboard interrupt than does a DOS application. It is my guess that because different interrupts are used, the BIOS is able to employ more power savings measures while in the completely controlled environment of SysMgr than it can do while in the wide open world of the DOS prompt. In fact, some DOS programs can totally screw up the BIOS'S power management features and prevent light sleep and auto power off. DOS is a very rough playground.

If you buy a generic AC adapter, make sure it is rated at 12 volts DC with the proper polarity as indicated on the bottom of the palmtop by the power socket. The inner part of the power plug must be minus. Also, the AC adapter should be rated to provide at least 750 ma to be on the safe side. I would recommend that you buy another HP AC adapter, though. They are small, light, run cool, have the folding plug, are regulated to 12 volts, work on 110-220 volts and accept 50-60 Hz. The transformer-based generic AC adapters are usually larger, get warmer, and don't regulate their voltage very well. A 12 volt unit might put out 15 or more volts at no load and 9 or 10 volts at full load. The palmtop likes to have exactly 12 volts. I also recomend staying away from the generic AC adapter with a switchable voltage and/or a polarity reversing switch or plug. If you accidently change the voltage or polatiry, you could damage the palmtop. There is not much point in saving $10 on the AC adapter but then have to pay $200 to fix the computer.

You need to listen to Andreas's advice - he knows what he is talking about. Your problem is not with the amount of DOS free RAM that you are giving Post to use, but with Post's internal variable storage space. This is limited to a fixed size no matter how much extra DOS RAM there is. It seems that your POST.CFG file may be quite large (relatively speaking) and hogging up all of Post's limited internal variable storage space. You have not said if you have (carefully) edited it to remove comments (any line beginngin with a semi-colon ";") and blank lines. These things take up lots of Post's precious internal variable space and provide no function to Post whatsoever. That stuff is there for the humans to enjoy. And with your configuration having so many Email accounts and newsgroups, your POST.CFG file is going to have to have lots of stuff in it anyway. Andreas also recommended to shorten names and file pathnames. I notice you have the WWW/LX Plus package installed in a subdirectory called a:\progs\www\. If you put the WWW directory in the root of A:, then all of those pathnames could be shortened and save some space in POST.CFG. The advice we give above is the only way to solve your troubles with Post. Don't bother to continue fiddling with those other RAM settings and with TSR's, etc. That is not the problem.

According to the STK the LX > sees a second partition on a flash card as drive B I wonder if that information pertains to the 95LX more than the 100/200LX. In the 95LX, it looked at the PCMCIA slot differently and did allow for two drive letters to be assigned to a card in the slot. I don't fully understand the details of what I am telling you about the 100/200LX considering the slot as a removable media. This is what I have heard from opthers who know more than I do. However, I can describe two situations which bare this out. With the 95LX, when you used a Stacked SRAM or flash card, the A: drive refered to the Stacked drive and B: refered to the unstacked portion of the card. It does not work this way in the 100/200LX. When using Stacker, you do not have any access to the unstacked portion of the drive as long as Stacker is running. You must turn off Stacker to access the unstacked part. This is with the exact same version of Stacker on the 95 or 100/200LX. So, it is not a Stacker "feature", it is due to the way the BIOS in the different machines thinks of the slot drive letters - the 100/200LX only allows one drive letter to be assigned to the card in the slot. Microsoft's Stacker-like disk compression utility called DoubleSpace (That may have been one of the names, anyway) could not be used with a card in the slot of the 100/200LX because DoubleSpace would not work on removable media - only fixed media drives like a real hard drive. Stacker would work with a floppy disk or Zip drive, but DoubleSpace could not.

If you are going to DOS with SysMgr running (such as with Ctrl-Lotus), then that explains your trouble. SysMgr is opening up a DOS box for you and giving that DOS box only 256 bytes of environment space. It is SysMgr that is holding you tight to 256 bytes. It has nothing to do with SC. Try terminating SysMgr in session 1 to get to a real DOS prompt given to you by SC and check the environment space. I'll bet it is larger and corresponds to the settings you have in SC or are in place before SC loads.

I wouldn't be surprized if it was System Manager but it only does it in a software carousel session. If I close SC and run SM I don't get any errors and I can set as many variables as I like in a dos box under system manager. To test it I have been using a dos box since if I run a dos program that sets variables under SM it will run in a dos box. It seems like a bug to me, a conflict between SC and SM. I would be curious to know why it only happens in a SC session since it seems like SC has some sort of environmental setting. (at least there is one when I run SCCONFIG). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 14:43:41 +0200 Reply-To: a123456@bitstream.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Re: NiCd - NiMH factoids...

An interesting opinion. I regularly run my batteries flat when using Ni-Cads and NiMHs and have never trashed my C: drive or had my backup battery go flat. I change my backup battery regularly though and monitor the voltage closely using battlog. I feel if proper precautions are taken this is perfectly safe advice to give and it will help the batteries last longer. Certainly there are dangers to simply removing the main batteries to discharge them. I did that for a while. I have had my LX lockup so badly doing this I had to do hard resets and one time it did trash my C: drive. So my way, I have had no trashed C: drive. Your way I have trashed the C: drive. Which way seems safer?

Hello John, I understand that removing the main batteries (for any reason) can place the C: drive at risk if the backup battery is not in the best of condition. The longer the LX is running on backup, the more likely it is to have a problem. I don't understand why removing them to discharge and recharge them is more of a problem than running them dead in the palmtop, then recharging them. Did you leave the LX living on the backup while you did the discharge and recharge things out of the LX, or did you put a good charged set into it while discharging and recharging the used set in the flashlight/charger? I would be concerned that I had fading batteries when I checked it, later they would be dead with the LX having had to live on the backup too long to support the life of the LX. Running the batteries dead in the palmtop seems risky to me. It seems safer to me to have known good main batteries in the LX as much as possible, letting it live on backups only while changing the weak batteries for good ones, maybe a minute or so. I use alkalines (disposables, 1 pair per month), changing them at the first low battery warning (usually after I finish what I am doing at the time) and haven't had any problems due to batteries. I have had one dead LX experience, HP service couldn't give me a reason for it. I was running on the HP adapter at the time. Good for those of you who use rechargables for the environment. I, personally, feel better about using a good quality alkaline than worrying about charge levels, discharge curves, charge memory, my memory, and stuff like that.

My LX runs away! MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Hi friends, something very strange happens with my 200 LX (no double speed, no other hardware upgrade; 4MB German unit): Since today I noticed that it falls in sleep mode not after 3 minutes (as in SXPRO set), but after a much shorter time (abt. 1 minute). I looked at the battery voltage, but it was OK (2.55V). Now I had a llok at the clock in the upper right corner of Post/LX, just to know what time it is...... and the clock runs very fast!!! The seconds are running about 10 times as fsat as they should! While I'm creating this message (in PE) the blinking of the cursor and of the 'save' label of the F10 key are also very fast. What is happening here? The only thing I remember what maybe a time regarding thing could cause was that I loaded Stefan Peichl's SLEEPON in one work area, loaded the game Commander Keen 4 after this (in the same WA - Keen seems to need SLEEPON, only of SLEEPON is loaded I can switch off the palmtop while KEEN is running), left Keen again and switched to WA3 (Post/LX). Now I'm here and see my LX's time runninng away... BTW: If the palmtop switched itself off (or I switched it off) and then on again it jumps back in time to the real time again, after it ran forward in time some minutes or even some hours! Do I have a time machine??? ;-) GTX daniel ----- P.S.: When I tried to send this message with Post/LX I got an error message 'interrupt overrun error...' (ths error appeared only for a very short time, so I don't remember the exact message). Then the machine hung up. After a Ctrl-Shift-On all seems to be okay again. Does anyone have an idea what was up here?

That was one of the very first things I found out about these things from this list. I confirmed it with the HP helpline and my own experience. Change your setup to rechargeables and pull your mains with no ac and see if it locks up on you. Just kidding you might wipe your C: drive. Problem is its a really bad lockup and can easily cause the c to intialize. Anyway, even with the battery "very low" warning if you shut it off right away you have plenty of time to connect the ac. Of course it depends on the type of battery you use on how much time you actually have. I would not recommend using a modem or flash card or any heavy disk writing past the "battery low" message, anything that requires a lot of current. I only let'em get totally flat when I'm going to recondition them, not every day, so of course I take proper precautions.

Running the batteries dead in the palmtop seems risky to me. I believe what John is talking about is the artificial limit of 2.0 volts before the palmtop will no longer turn on and it will just beep at you when you try to turn it on again. I tend to run my batteries that low as well and then recharge them. I actually turn off the low battery warning and let the voltage get low enough for it not to come back on again. I don't recommend it for everyone, but I do it that way because I run ABC/LX and can see what my voltage level is at any given time. The palmtop circuitry for regulating the battery voltage seems to work fine down to that point, but you need to make sure that your rechargable batteries will do that same. I have only done this in combination with the batteries that I carry. I never take them out of the palmtop and therefore I had to come up with a way to discharge them properly. They don't have tips on the positive end so they won't charge in most external chargers.

Although I usually go down to 2.1 volts and its for deep discharging when my batteries have lost some capacity.

Comments: To: Steve Dowell MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here is my 2 cents worth. Linear power supplies are generally more reliable, less components. Switching supplies usually have more stress, especially FET's or whatever does the switching. Check what goes bad when they fail. If the linear supply is regulated, the IC or active part of the regulating circuit usually is the first to go. Otherwise diodes tend to fail. For a 230 watt linear computer supply however, just hook up your arc welder. The heavy duty windings will provide sufficient regulation. Most of what I think of at Radio Shack that one of our gentlement got so upset about -- I think of them as a small transformer, bridge rectifier and filter capacitor -- most of them are unregulated -- regulation is very poor!!! I wouldn't power my LX with one unless it was a life or death situation.

I apologize to all people who do not like to see this kind of debate on the list. Stop reading now. First, I don't mind you dumping your batteries whereever you want, just wouldn't like to be your neighbour. Further, I don't know what environmental issues have to do with politics at all. To refer to a current case in Europe: Feed your baby with toxic chicken from Belgium and see how political it's reactions will be (no, don't do it). People who put waste oil into chicken feed deserve being compared to terrorists like the Unabomber, not the person on who's message you have been commenting on. Maybe they just wanted to make some extra money or maybe they just wanted to demonstrate that they are no members of the "Al Gore/Unabomber"-fraction. Pardon me if my message is as unbalanced as yours. I am no environmentalist (though I live there - don't know where you live) and no political extremist (in your eyes, maybe), but I cannot see how a person is being condemned just for calling to put your waste batteries where they belong, though I also know that it was nothing new to most people on the list. It was just the mentioning of the Unabomber which drove me nuts. Can't comment on Al Gore too much, as I am german :). And by the way I am also aware that more people got and still get killed by NATO- bombs than by belgian chicken, to be very cynic.

You ran a game (most likely Commander Keen 4) which reprogrammed the 8253 timer chip, so that the timer 0 interrupt INT08 is not only invoked 18.2 timer per second but 50 timer per second for example. Any actions relying on the timer tick 'run' faster now, like the clock, sleep modes ... The 8253 timer chip also controls disk operation read/writes. If you changed that timer, it is more than likely that you corrupt the media! Because SC only replaces memory regions, but not different hardware settings on the ports, you have the same hardware configuration in every SC work area. How should SC know, that a program executed for example: ... mov al,54 out 43h,al mov ax,1193 out 40h,al mov al,ah out 40h,al ... This code fragment changes the time of day count from 18.2 times a second to 1000 times a second. Some applications like laboratory measurements need a more precise timer that 18.2 per second.

Back to my favourite topic! In the past we had discussed several 'safe practices' to avoid data corruption. One nagging issue remained - how do we detect that there has been some corruption in data? Longden Loo had described this as the central issue. There was a mention also of using some UNIX tools to create incremental change files (Sorry - the details are not with me here - archived at work..). With a firm belief that every difficult problem usually has a simple solution (though incorrect!) I stumbled upon this - Use the Synchronise feature of the Connectivity Pack to synchronise a copy of the current file with the previous back-up. Of course all the changes made to the files since the last backup will show up, but you can deal with them easily. More importantly, all corrupted and missing data will also become obvious. Then there is the painful, but well defined, task of restoring only the missing/corrupted data. Sounds too easy - now tell me what the downsides are ....

I don't know about your "strange" (g) recharge idea, but until the lithium AA's from everready came out, for years there were lithium (also NON-rechargeable) D and C cells which have great cold weather performance. They were DOUBLE voltage for single cells. We would use one C or D (depending on the application) in place of two and use a dummy cell - just a spring or metal shunt to replace the other cell. It was lighter and had the long life we expect from the Everready's. But that 3.6 voltage value could cause problems????? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 13:53:26 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Seems to me there are (at least) three sources of `data corruption' and that one needs to protect against each of them in different ways. The method you suggest deals with some of them, but I am a little unclear about how `all corrupted and missing data will become obvious'---which seems to me to be the crux of the matter. (1) Original Corruption --- the original data item entered was wrong. This includes a _very_ nasty case where the entering error is of a kind that causes it to kill an unrelated correct entry somewhere else. Entering a new event for next week (say on 12.6) as 12.6 (american) may kill an entry on the 6th of December, without me noticing it other than to wonder why the entry didn't show up next week. It may be months before I realize that something is wrong down in December. (2) Synchronization Corruption --- the data is mis-synchronized somehow. Older descriptions get written on top of newer ones. Sometimes this happens by `pure mistake' but I find it most common right after I have done a time zone change. If I don't handle the shift of time zones exactly correctly, I sometimes end up with data entered earlier having later date/time and thus screwing up underlying data records. (3) Physical Corruption --- this is corruption caused by the mis behavior of other programs, mis copying or other mal treatment of files (copying a binary file as ascii might be a common example) or (rarely) bits just going bad over a long storage period. The most virulent form of physical corruption is probably when an unrelated file with the same name happens to get written on top of some data by mistake. This can (a) be disasterous; and (b) take a long time to notice if the data set is inactive. I raise this taxonomy in the hope that you, or others, can add to it. It seems to me that I take different actions to protect myself against each of these potential problems, so the taxonomy has some use, at least to me. I'd also be happy to discuss defenses against each of the causes of data corruption. But without some taxonomy it is hard to know just which problems particular defensive measures are designed to deal with.

If whatever I am trying to synchronize _has_ ASCII Import/Export facilities, then it is usually a matter of a simple PERL program to get the job done. If the software doesn't have ASCII Import/Export, I regard it as such a severe deficiency, that I wouldn't want to touch it anyway as it would be committing my data to a form which is unlikely to survive on the decade horizion (none of my previous `planners' lasted more than a decade, but my ASCII records go back to the early 1970s). I recognize that in a corporate setting you may not have this option, of course.

I had blithely assumed that drive B: on a palmtop was just a shadow of drive A:, as it is on a desktop PC-XT with one floppy drive. This would have allowed us to copy files from one flash card to another by entering COPY A:\*.* B:\ and swapping flash cards at the prompt "Insert disk for drive B: and press any key when ready." Not the case, as Avi pointed out. So I'll stick my neck out again with this theory: Some of the hardware people have noted that the palmtop's PCMCIA controller supports two cards. And in fact the 700LX actually uses this to run a second (cellular modem) card which is mounted internally. I would therefore suggest that B: is reserved to this second card slot, even though it is physically missing on the 100LX and 200LX. Think of a two-floppy XT with one drive bay sealed over. Whether this is the case or not, I wouldn't think that A: or B: can be partitioned, as someone had suggested, because the very assignment of either A: or B: tells DOS (or BIOS?) that it's a removable drive (unless the palmtop DOS / BIOS are *really* non-standard). The easy way around this, of course, would be to ASSIGN or SUBST drive letters E: and above to drive A:. Make sense? Or did I blow it again?

After buying the HP200LX I also went through the period of thinking that I had to combine and integrate them. After a few months, I ceased trying to do double-work and went exclusively with the HP200 for all calendar functions. I still have a Franklin on my desk, I use the 2 page per day version and use the right (diary) side to record what I did during the day and each voice mail message I receive. Although, this too, could be done on the HP200, it's just my preference not too. Consider that you wont have to bring forward your appointments every month. Consider that you wont need to re-enter all your "to do's" I could go on. But in my opinion, dont integrate... ditch the archaic Franklin planner system.

This can be done with a macro. 2nd cent: DOS has a util pgm to compare two files, I've never ever used it but I suspect that it can be used for this purpose. Now if someone can only give me two cents worth on how to solve my database subset problems I'd be much oblidge...

Well, here's one I use in my phonebook: Category#"Landlording"|Title="lawncare" The above SSL statement produces a combined list of landlording and lawncare entries. For a while, I was a landlord. One of the things I occasionally needed was to have a list of all landlord related items -and- lawncare providers. I ran out of category space so I used the (rarely used) title field as an infinitely extendable category field (without the dropdown list). I marked lawncare entries with "lawncare" in the title field. Does that help? Or did you mean you don't understand how to use the template screen to get more than one field into the SSL statement?

So many HPLX-L members can program in IBM's "Basic", the REXX! I had the luck to use a browser called Charlotte, written by volunteers for IBM 390 family mainframes; that was in REXX. I know IBM PC lacks text file handling capabilities found in big computers, but the ease of upgrade and piping features found in Rexx would make it a breeze to "tailor" the browser whenever new IE/NS specific tags hit the web. Of course, this was a text-only browser in IBM 3270 mode; but it could deal with any complicated frame webpage better than Lynx running on Unix box could. I made heavy use of Charlotte Version 2, especially searches and newsagency pages. (I can no longer use it, the 4191 machine was disassembled in mid-1998, as IBM wanted full licence fees from the University, which can't even pay for the heating of its buildings during the winter. This is Central Europe) So do you think that a HPLX browser written in Rexx, or maybe some sort of Charlotte port would be interesting for enough users to form a developer group for this task?

I don't know if this might help. For my own use I find LXMusic an interesting curiosity than a really useful program. I use MusicPrinter Plus on the palmtop to write polyphonic sheet music all the time. To hear it, I save the file as a midi file, then I use two programs from SUPER: MIDI1TO0, which converts the type 1 midi file to type 0, then I use LXMIDI to hear it on the palmtop (quality is marginal, but with my settings I can hear it at the actual written pitch, so it is an adequate way to aurally confirm what I wrote with MusicPrinter plus. And yes, LXMIDI does play polyphonic music on the palmtop). Then, when I am satisfied, I transfer the type 1 midi file to my desktop pc, for further editing with FINALE98 for Windows, from which I then print the file. I have printed sheet music from the palmtop with MusicPrinter Plus before, but Finale98 gives superior results, so I don't do it too often. MusicPrinter Plus is a commercial program. I hear the company went belly up, so I am not sure of the best way to buy it (I bought mine the risky way, by putting an add on USENET. Two people offered to sell me their copy).

I advise everyone to connect the palmtop to the external power and keep it turned off whenever removing any of the batteries (AA or backup) for any period of time. Even while off, the palmtop will draw power exclusively from the AC adapter when it is connected. So, there is not any load on any batteries. Of course, charging must be disabled in order to turn the palmtop off while on the AC adapter. The problem with discharging the batteries in the palmtop is that by the very nature of such an action, the AC adapter cannot be connected. So, there is no safety net there.

I just got back from a family vacation in Yellowstone NP in Wyoming USA. It's pretty remote out there, and most of the rooms/cabins (including mine) have no phone/tv/radio. I brought along my trusty 200LX with Goin' Postal, a Motorola DPC550 cellular phone, and a Motorola 'Cellular Connection' wireless adapter just in case I might have the opportunity to use it. Wouldn't you know it, the local cellular company out of Cody WY was allowed to put service in the park, so I had communications! I was able to send email back and forth with a family member back home who sent me daily weather forecasts. It was high tech at it's finest! I would like to thank Steve Lawson for doing such a great job with Goin' Postal. It makes wireless, portable email a breeze! BTW - I average at least 1 year (I don't exactly know, because I buy so infrequently) on a pair of 'cheap' RS NiCad's that I charge in my HP with the HP charger when I get a battery low message. As far as Lithium Ion goes, that is what I use with my Cellular Phones, and even though they are expensive, I wouldn't use anything else. They just last forever.

And alternative is to place the icon ANYWHERE, and name it any old name with a suffix .ICN. Here is how you add an application and force the icon: 1. Type the application name. In the PATH field enter the FULL PATH for the icon file (!). 2. Tab to the icon viewer. If the icon is there, great - see step 3. DO NOT PRESS F10! If the icon is not there, then you typed the path name incorrectly. Redo it. 3. Tab more to the PATH field and enter the full path for the actual application. When you are done, press F10. The icon is now embedded in the APPMGR.DAT file. (Which means you can even DELETE the icon file from the palmtop!) ---------------- If you already have an icon and wish to change it here are the instructions. It is a bit tricky, so take time to read exactly... 1. Edit the entry in Applications Manager Menu (where the icons show up.) Tab to the PATH field. 2. COPY the highlighted field (which is the path name for the application.) 3. Without moving away from the PATH field, type the path of the icon - no matter where it is (see above) 4. Tab to the Icon viewer window. If the new icon you want shows up, great - see step 5. Otherwise, tab back to the PATH field and retype the proper path for the icon file. (Press Filer button to see exactly where it is!) 5. Tab some more until you return to the PATH field. Now just press PASTE (Fn-+) to paste back the path for the application. You are done... Enjoy...

I pledge not to share any of your data or to use it for any purpose other than figuring out how to detect corrupted files. I probably won't even look at the text data. I'm thinking that this DOS program could check a DB file's integrity and return an ERRORLEVEL if it's bad, so that you could use this in a batch file to backup your data, not backing up a file that is corrupted. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 00:32:05 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Domingo Diaz-Vazquez Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Domingo Diaz-Vazquez Subject: Re: Works 3.0 Comments: To: David Sargeant MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: David Sargeant To: Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 1999 5:47 PM Subject: Re: Works 3.0 > > Nope.

I meant, the behavior of only turning off after two or three key presses and not going to sleep on its own occurs regardless of any device driver or TSR. I meant that you *can* turn off the palmtop with Works loaded, but that its peculiar behavior is not affected by any TSR or device driver that I have seen so far.

From the above (and much more in that article) I would surmise that making two partitions would require a more "standard" ATA interface. From the discussions here, I would suspect that the memory-mapping support is more like a RAM disk and wouldn't support multiple partitions.

Comments: To: Ken Moore MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, in plain English: 1-I downloaded it. 2-I copied it to my palmtop. 2-I unziped it. 3-I did not bother to install it. Instead, I ran the exe file on the spot (from filer). No trouble whatsoever. If you are using Software Carousel or similar program, unload it and try again to see if it works. Or search the drives and directories in your path for any identically named files. Rename them if found, and try again. As an aside, I used to try to run a program called EnglishMuse, or something like that, from the Garbo site. Its demo could play nice polyphonic music on the palmtop, but the actual program seemed to need ega graphics. It was a nice little program, similar to lxmusic, with an on-screen keyboard and a piano grand staff. It could print music and play it too. Screen colors were adjustable, as were many other settings. It could save polyphonic compositions in its own format or in Pascal source code. I used to search high and low for someone who would hack it for cga graphics. I tracked it down to the Russian company where it was produced, but apparently the author disappeared for some reason (this was around the time when the soviet union was falling apart. Who knows what could have happened . . . ). Apparently it is free. If someone wanted to hack it, it would make a very nice addition to the palmtop collection. For the demo, search for musedemo.zip in www.shareware.com The file demo.exe is the only one which will run on the palmtop. Try the other one on the desktop and you'll see how cool it really is.

I do it sometimes if I have too much time... ;-) I use Capella for it, that's a commercial German notation program from WHC software. It works pretty well on the palmtop; you can enter your music either in real time (monophonic!) with a metronome ticking over the speaker, or note by note. It'S more comfortable tu use a mouse with Capella, but it also works without. The new versions of Capella only work on Windows machines, but the version 1.5 (what I have) works in DOS. The results look very professional. One disadvantage: You cannot save your music in MIDI format. But I think there are converters which can convert a Capella ".ALL file to MIDI. If you run Capella on a desktop machine with sound card, you can enter the music with a MIDI keyboard and play it (polyphonic) over the sound card. Just for all who are interested. I have nothing to do with the company which wrote Capella, I'm just a customer of them.

The answer is that nothing would happen. The DB merge operation looks at the field names in A and B and tries to match them up. If id does not find any that are the same, then it will do nothing. The merge function does not modify the structure of any data base, it will just add records to a data base if possible. If it finds a common field name in A and in B, then it will copy the records from the source file to the destination file, but only fill in the common data fields. For example, file A has fields 1, 2 & 3 and file B has 3, 4 & 5. Merge A into B and B will keep all of its original records and will have records added to it that equal the number of records in A and those new records will have only data in field 3 with 4 and 5 being empty.

Does it use the same size plug on the 12V side as the HP adapter? Also - VERY IMPORTANT - do you know the polarity of the 12V connector? The HP is center-contact-negative. There should be a symbol on the adapter to tell the polarity. If not, chack with a voltmeter if one's available. Also most wall-warts are unregulated, so if you have a meter, check the no-load voltage. I think the palmtop accepts from 9.6 - 14.4 volts. (It's in the manual).

Your answer, however, was not correct. Al was asking about two sets of different *categories* (as in "1;3;5" and "2;4" in two databases with a common-name category field). Not two sets of fields.... I just tested it by creating two mini-databases (both contained the same fields) and merging them. The answer is that, as long as the fields have the same name, the categories merge as well. Al should get categories "1;2;3;4;5" in the resulting database. (Note: This assumes that the sum of all the category-strings are shorter than some built-in database maximum. I think it's around 128 characters, but I'm not sure. As long as it's under 128 chars, it should be ok...) ...

Aha! So it is not app manager. I have used some clock programs (including Jorgen Walgreen's) with great delight, until I started noticing strange interactions with other programs. I love Jorgen's clock program, but its behavior is suspicious to me. So that's where I'd lay the blame. Man, do I miss those big numbers! Domingo P.S. One of the strange things that Jorgen's program is known for doing, is sound an alarm even when the volume is turned off on Sysmgr!

If it doesn't occur again, then a TSR is at fault. If it does, then, beats me! > v1.21 is the latest and greatest, and has been since 1997 (has it been nearly two years since I worked on HisWord???) :-( It would be great if the rest of the menu commands worked on the palmtop. A nice addition would be multiple word search and phrase search, plus implementing the hypertext jumps and more editing. Then I would not need the Online Bible program anymore!

Another possible option is a shareware program from Simtel called NoteWorthy for dos (not to be confused with the windows program by the same name). This program does not play any music, but it has stunning music printing, and it's the easiest to use music notation program I have ever seen! The keyboard commands are highly intuitive. I corresponded with the author a while back (before he released the current version), and he seemed interested in porting the program for cga graphics on the palmtop. But then I obtained MusicPrinter Plus, and forgot about it . . . In my college days I heard of a number of commercial dos music programs, but I don't remember their names anymore. I wish I did, because some of them seemed promising (Finale even came out for DOS once, but it need a 386 and ega graphics, even at that time). I don't know if cakewalk for dos would run on the palmtop, but then could a MIDI keyboard be connected to the palmtop? It is more of a sequencer.

After some pretty extensive testing and checking, I believe the use of the printer ports with Interlink/Interserver is strictly for data transfer, not for printing. So it is not a printing option.

I had no problems with printing outside of Sysmgr. But I had to change the printing settings in some programs. For example, if a program enables the printing to a file, select this option and give it the filename COM1. It won\'t print to a file, but would ignore some BIOS stuff that makes trouble. Also for the programs, that have not the possibility of printing to a file or to COM1, download the Program PRNTOFL from www.simtel.net. You can reroute the printout to a filename. Give the filename COM1. with the dot. So it would print to OmniPrint on the desktop. -goe- ------------------------------------------------------ This mail sent through Arpanet: http://www.arpanet.ch/ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 11:23:32 +0200 Reply-To: Alan Krempler Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alan Krempler Subject: icon server "digest"?

Whenever there is discussion, there are opposite opinions or attitudes which sometimes heat up the debate. As everyone knows, with the medium we are using here it is especially difficult to ensure that the receiver gets the message the way it was meant by the author (and it is even more diffcult for people with a limited english vocabulary, like me). And sometimes people just don't think too much about what they write (does not exclude me). Normally we would all sit down together, have a beer or two and sing some songs from the old days. Does not work here, unfortunately. Maybe there will be a HPLX-L-World-Summit one day?

I've got almost all of it working except for one section and I'm hoping that someone knows more about KEY200 than I do. I am trying to have the More key call up TBLX (defined by MoreExm as Alt-F8), and more the original definition of &... More back to Fn-More. I have the following in my KEY200.ini file: =============== snippet =================== Fn More : More ¬More Alt More : Alt More ¬More ¬Alt Ctrl More : Ctrl More ¬More ¬Ctrl More : Alt F8 ¬F8 ¬Alt ======================================== More, Ctrl-More, Alt-More all work as expected.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi There! I would like to check if anyone has been able to create a nice Note Field in an EXM program? 100/200LX has the MultiEdit Line feature, but it's a joke- all text gets highlighted (inverted) and cursor goes to the end- every time this field get the focus. So with other words- far from the professional look and feel as the built-in Note Taker application. Another problem with MultiEdit is that if you have a big buffer with text, it's very slow when you edit and scroll the text. Ok, this could be fixed by sending some keystrokes as soon as this field gets the focus. But the result is that you get a flashing screen and that doesn't look nice! I would highly appreciate if anyone could assist me here, since the program I am working on needs a note field and I just refuse to use the stupid MultiEdit function.

It always annoyed me that they firewall their POP server (couldn't read my mail from my lan). You could never hope to login without storing your password (it was a really long cryptic string). The last straw was when I went to ftp my first GP webpage to my account and the server wanted my *third* password which I'd forgotten a long time ago (there was a login password, a pop password, and a third "only used to ask support for your other passwords").

Very interesting notion, Al. The problem is, along with the low power consumption, I also want size and weight similar to the 200LX. For me, the closest candidate for a "downgrade" is a Psion Series 5. As for power consumption, surely there is an 80C386 or -486 out there that is designed for low power! Even a lowly 386 would give us Win 3.1, Linux and a whole host of neat new stuff to play with. If a low-power 386 isn't available, how about a small-size 386 which gives us extra room in the case to stuff in another battery or two? It's nice to dream on a warm Friday afternoon...

The alternative would be to just hang around - looking as if the palmtop would have frozen - and not letting the user know what's going on.

If you mean that the images should be displayed while they are downloaded: no problem, just add a few megs of memory to your machine (memory, not storage, that is!) and install a multi-tasking OS. Good luck! If you mean: download all text and all images and then show it: this is exactly what it does. If the progress messages disturb you, don't look on the screen until everything is downloaded.

If you have a trace I'd like to check it against my PPP book (though you're probably more familiar than I am with that layer). It doesn't sound right that Worldnet should request CHAP (not MSCHAP) and then reject it. It does, however, fit Worldnets tendency to go overboard on security so I wouldn't be surprised if they have or will adopt MSCHAP and disallow PAP/CHAP. :-( Heck, maybe they've realized that allowing people dial into their network was a security risk and this is their answer! :-) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 14:37:47 EST Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

First off you would have to replace alot more than just the processor to end up with something that looks like a dos machine. They don't really do anything like a dos machine does, ports are all in the wrong places, video subsystem is totally different ... Second, the latest version of CE has a 16M (or 32M I am not sure) memory limit, half of which is dedicated to storage so you don't get 64M. Basically if you want color and faster you loose on battery life. Ever color machine I have seen uses LiIon batteries and still only gets several hours of life, mainly because of the color screen. Of course the faster processor and related components don't help battery life either. Pete Peter W.

The HP omnibook line, the early models from 300-530, could run off of AA batteries if you were using a flash card instead of a HD. From what I understand they actually got pretty good battery life as well, not as good as the 200lx but quite good by todays notebook standards. These where various low power 386 and 486 processors. The best of the lot was probably the original 300 which was also the smallest. It had all of win31 in ROM, including apps and they were exicute in place which meant they didn't need much RAM to run. An 8M 300 is a pretty good win31 machine, the only real problem was its lack of enhanced mode support in win31. If you just want a DOS machine then the later models are better since the 300 had rather limited low memory available even when not in win31. These machines are a far cry from handheld though. Intel does (did?) make low power versions of the 386 and 486, the did use more power than the chip used in the 200lx but they were still managable. The real power hog in todays designs is the color screen. Pete Peter W.

David, It is "sort of" true. It is the number of transistors times the clock frequency that determines power consumption. However the operating system (OS) enters the equation as well. If the OS is like DOS or Windows 95, the CPU is fully active all the time. If it is like OS/2 or NT, the CPU is idled when inactive and can save power and reduce heat. Also the design of a fully static CPU (not needing dynamic refresh) can reduce power in a sleep or suspend mode. The number of transistors in a 386 CPU is much larger than in a 186. Yor Pal Al wrote: > What are the problems? What is the best candidate? > Is there a handheld out there that uses AA batts? Al, Have you looked at the IBM PC-110? For my two cents, something like the PC-100 with the HP 200LX ROM applications running OS/2 would be a nicer toy. OS/2 is the ultimate DOS switcher.

The palmtop apps actually have more RAM to work with because the progrmas are in ROM so RAM is only used for working storage. With the CPACK, the RAM has to be used to load the SysMgr-like shell, and the app and the data from the file. How much RAM is available to the DOS box you are using to run the CPACK application? Use the MEM command to see this. I seem to remember that you need well over 550K in order for the CPACK to work. And the amount of RAM that an application like the Appt book needs is not so dependant on the size of the data file. The whole data file is not loaded into RAM, just the indexes and the record currently being worked on.

I don't think it is even necessary to discharge the batteries at all! In the 41 months I have been using my NiMH batteries, I have never removed them from the palmtop to discharge them and I have never run then even low enough to give a low battery warning. And they are still giving me the same run time as they did from the beginning. I believe you that you have never had a problem running your batteries flat in the palmtop. I also believe you that you had great troubles when you pulled your batteries from your palmtop to discharge them externally.

The fact is, I don't really care how much of each image has been downloaded: I just want to read what I have at this point with no images. If the dialog didn't appear (but the image is still being downloaded to my machine), I could at least read what's on the screen just because it's there. Perhaps a little progress bar at the bottom of the screen could tell me how far the current image has been downloaded. And perhaps between HTTP calls for the images, the program could check the buffer to see if I pressed PAGE-DOWN or DOWN-ARROW to more the the next screen of text. > If you mean that the images should be displayed while they are > downloaded: no problem, just add a few megs of memory to your machine > (memory, not storage, that is!) and install a multi-tasking OS.

As things are right now, I spend half of my time downloading images (waiting all this time and draining my batteries) to then realize that I didn't necessarily need all these images once I read a bit of the text. So perhaps a few additions could be useful: - allow the user to stop all image downloads at any time for the current page - allow the user to download specific images - allow the user to download all images for the current page - allow the user to turn off image download dialog - allow the user to PAGE-UP/PAGE-DOWN while downloading images. Otherwise, Andreas, you people have written a fantastic piece of software!

So if I understand correctly, then if "Menu Options, Gif Display" is turned off, then the calculations done by HV become really simple and fast: the document is downloaded but not the graphics, then the calculations (fonts, etc...) is done and the page is displayed. So here's where I would see the improvement, as a two step process: 1. Show the text while the graphics are downloaded: Have an option like "Download text first" to have HV download the HTML document (but just the text), then do the calculation (just as if Gif Display is turned off) and display the document with little squares instead of graphics and fonts and all. Then start the download of graphics, simply storing them on the LX, all the while doing two things: 1) Show a progress percentage in the upper right corner of the screen (similar to the dialog, but less intrusive), perhaps flashing to draw attention that the machine is not frozen. 2) Between image downloads, check the keyboard buffer (I assume this is possible) to see if there's PAGE-UP or PAGE-DOWN and if so move the viewed area of the HTML document up or down. So there's no multi-tasking here, just your good 'ol buffer check in between the downloads. 2. Show the text and the graphics: Then, once all the images have been downloaded, do a complete recalculation of the document with HTML and Graphics, and then redisplay, and voila! > > - allow the user to download all images for the current page > > What is a "current page"? If you mean screenful then that concept does not > exist. All you need to do is change fonts and your "page" description is out > the window. What I meant was: If the user has Gif Display turned off, then no images show up in HV. But after reading all the text, if the user know wants to see all the graphics in that document, there's no way to tell WWW/LX to download them -- for that document only. The only way is to click on all images one by one to download them. So basically, we're looking at a manual version of the process outlined above. > > - allow the user to PAGE-UP/PAGE-DOWN while downloading images. > > Cannot do this because you do not have the entire entity (i.e. the document) > downloaded yet, and you do not have information about its dimensions, its > links, etc etc. That process happens AFTER all the data is downloaded. Well, if it is possible to have HV display the HTML page without graphics, and also display it with graphics, and consider both an *entire* entity, then the two-step process should work. > > Otherwise, Andreas, you people have written a fantastic piece of software! > > Thank you very much.

İSNIP¨ Here's a more-or-less top-of-the-line alkaline: Duracell Long-Life D: 15 Ah (15,000 mAh) Comparing that to the old "high capacity" silver-gray Radio Shack NiCad AAs we all used to love when they first came out, we're talking 16 2/3rds times more capacity! (Works out to different total "on" time though, I would imagine, due to the differing discharge slope.) Might be worth mentioning NiCad D's as well, most of which are quite respectable: Eveready standard D: 1.8 Ah (1,800 mAh) PowerSonic D, Panasonic standard D: 4.0 Ah (4,000 mAh) Panasonic High Capacity "E" D: 4.4 Ah (4,400 mAh) Panasonic Rapid-charge "R" D: 5.0 Ah (5,000 mAh) Dunno if the poor LX's charger could pump power back in them or not, though! 8¬) And yes, that Eveready NiCad number looks way low by comparison... but that's their bright yellow plastic NiCad line; go heft one, it's light as a feather. I've read (no confirmation) that their "D" NiCad is actually just the "C" inards in a bigger case. Give you one guess what the Ah rating is on their "C" cell. ;¬) Finally, NiMH: Generic Mouser green "recharge in a NiCad charger" D: 7.5 Ah (7,500 mAh) Rick, who thinks a flat box just tall enough for a whole mess of AA NiCads that velcros UNDER the LX might be an interesting alternative approach... looks like you could get five sets in there, so you'd have 6x normal capacity if you wired 'em all in parallel.

Haven't looked at this device yet, but haven't built another one: Have a look at http://www.palmtop.net/more.html There you'll find a description of _my_ infrared device. It must be connected to a special connector on the desktop's motherboard. But if one changed a few resistor values and maybe a little bit of the other stuff in the device, it would probably be possible to attach it to every RS232 serial port.

It's not strange to me that it turns the volume on when making an alarm. It's an advantage! If you turned off the volume on SysMgr and the appointment book makes an alarm, the volume is also switched on, isn't it? HPALARM has it's own volume setting (F2) that it's using all the time it fires up and beeps. The only problem _I_ have with HPALARM is that it sometimes simply _does_no_ alarm, although I set it up to beep 7.30am. That's a little bit strange (and dangerous, if my 'inner clock' doesn't notice that's already time to wake up!). Jorgen? Do you know about this problem? GTX daniel > Aha! So it is not app manager.

I As far as I know, no driver is needed. You send the serial data out of the serial port, and the s-p converter does the rest. You're right in that you need a null modem adapter in addition to the s-p converter. and perhaps you also need a gender changer. BTW: Only printing is possible with a s-p converter (or other kinds of output). The converter does not convert parallel to serial in the opposite direction (at least mine does not - maybe there are converters that work both ways...)

I have no affiliation whatsoever. ...Bob posted this message some time ago. Did anyone have a look at this light? I looked at the website, did the search and found a very nice little LEd light, just of this kind I make for our HP LX! It is indeed a LED light with one white LED that is plugged into the PS/2 port of any note book. It seems that it's more for enlightening the keyboard or a paper use near the notebook than for the screen... Maybe it was possible to remove the PS/2 plug from this light and attach a plug for the HP LX instead. I described how to build one at http://www.palmtop.net/more.html I don't know _how_ bright the LED of this light is, and I don't know it's lightening angle and current draw, so someone had to try if this works. The light I make has two LEDs (for better adaption of the light dispersion to the display's size). But maybe the light from 1800 batteries has a spreading lens - who knows? ;-) Please let me know if anyone made axperiences with this light!

I have yet to log any significant time on my 100LX (hasn't arrived yet), but I did tinker with the 1000CX I recently had, and my thoughts on improving the design are to "evolve" the system, not a complete redesign: Screen backlighting (selectable, like Palm Pilot, via ext. button) Support for vga display in existing size (640x480x16 grey shades) Processor bump to an Intel 286 or 386 (run coherent, linux, etc) Built-in RAM upgrade to 16 Meg, or 16Meg standard. Enable PCMCIA adapter to handle 2 cards (via ext adapter, slide an extender card in to 200LX, then have two ext. PCMCIA cards outside to allow CF and modem/network card or one type III card). A dedicated CF slot would be nice, but probably no room inside. As an alternative, drop PCMCIA and add 2 CF slots that can accept CF modems/ethernet as well as storage. Keyboard keys a bit bigger (overall dimensions same, just make the keytops bigger and closer together). WinCE as an OS Option (to ensure volume sales), but alternate OS should be possible. (i.e. standard PC architecture, if possible with WinCE). Power... This is where it all falls apart - if you could squeeze some LiON battery pack inside the unit and power the device for 12 -18 hours that would be great (remember, we have no moving parts here...), 6-9 hours would still sell well, anything less and you are competing with Librettos (oh, wait, they are going to stop making Librettos). And finally, if a docking system could be built along the lines off the Motorola "drop-in" chargers for Police walkie-talkies that would allow the unit to recharge the batteries without plugging in an AC adapter cord tat would be great. A great improvement would be if the serial line could be connected as well, and the contents of the internal storage could be backed-up/hot synched like a Palm Pilot it would be a true winner. Well, since I have evolved nearly every subsystem, I guess I'll have to give up a bit on the size/volume of the unit - a 10 - 15% increase in size wouldn't be terrible, if it allowed the majority of the above improvements to be incorporated... If I only got one thing from my list, it would be the last one - the drop-in charger/serial connection, even i it would only back-up the internal drives to an external PC...

I am looking for something smaller than the Olympus "thingamajigs", and a bit more capable than the dim-witted Casion QV10 :-) A megapixel is ok, but not absolutely necessary. Removable media is required, and my preference would be a regular flash card. What is also required, IMHO, is a recording format that is "standard", say JPEG. Now comes the hard question: 8-) -- I want to be able to stick the card into the palmtop and look at the pictures. Price is another consideration, of course. So what do you all recommend? When you do, it would be great to relate your own usage of it. Also, perhaps by way of comparing, can we stick to the following criteria? 1. name, model, price 2. Pic format, size of pic, number of pic 3. How long to warm up, how long to register pic, how long to recharge 4. Flash? Macro? Zoom? 5. Read removable PC card on Palmtop? Did I mention all the criteria that are pertinent? What do you think? TIA Avi M.

This is what I would like to do, if someone could advise on possible problems. I use IBM 3151 terminals for email access at work. They use RS 422 (not current) I would like to purchase a RS 232 to 422 adapter (available!) and use my 200 to access email. I can handle the aspects of that part of the process, but how do I get the computers to talk the same language? I remember Procomm having tons of terminal emulations, but I do not have that program anymore. (Gone with the 5.25 drive... bad move in hindsight) So my questions are this: Is there a program that would emulate the IBM 3151 (IBMs web site was no help) What would I have to do to get this work? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 13:27:52 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: WTB: 200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII My palmtop is no longer functioning.

Thanks for your expertise. We feel that we accumulated a bit of knowledge too over time: Aside from several degrees in computing and about 100 years experience among us all (D&A and Betas) we also have accumulated a significant body of responses from thousands and thousands of users of HV. I have not heard anyone suggest your GUI improvements before. A few more comments on closing: 1. HV is at the max of code space now. We cannot add anything. What you suggest would take a complete rewrite. 2. Our customers OVERWHELMINGLY tell us to spend resources on email improvements and leave HV be. 3. Our customers tell us that they want to stay in touch using the palmtop, not browse the Web. It is a rather lousy way to browse an increasingly colorful, detailed Web. 4. I am sure you read Andreas' several posts about "no more changes to HV". I am sure he means it. To do something reasonable means huge resources (we are told to put them elsewhere!), it means large memory (80386 or higher chip), and lots more speed than we have now on the palmtop. Well, I appreciate the discussion. I think this has come to a natural end. Thank you. Avi M.

The program will run on any DOS computer (including a HP-?00LX) and, yes, you will have room for it: 632 bytes and, yes, you can afford it too: it is free as usual. The snag is that you probaby will have no use for it. The program uses the same big friendly numbers as MCB and BIG. The timer defaults to 2 hours but you can change it to whatever is required. It will wake you up :) by beeping once, so you don't forget to advice the students once every hour and when 30, 15, 5 and 1 minute remains. You can start and stop the timer and change the remaining time as you like. You can of course switch the beeping off. Any interest in such a program as it is or with changes?

There are two different operations that you might be confusing. The Re-index operation just reads through the message file and re-calculates the two indexes that Post uses on each file. This process does not really need much (if any) temporary disk space. The Pack operation is where deleted messages are physically removed from the file to make the file smaller. Packing a file does require a fair amount of free disk space. The pack process works by copying all of the non-deleted messages from the old files to the new files. So, the amount of free space needed could be just a little bit less than the size of the files being packed. Or course, the more deleted messages there are in the message files, the smaller the resulting packed files will be and therefore the smaller amount of free space needed. In any case, fragmentation does not matter to Post. Indexing is fully automatic and is required to be put to date at all times. You can force a re-index of any file at any time with Ctrl-R. Packing can be automatic or manual as determined by a setting in your POST.CFG file. İSYSTEM¨ ManualPack=1 sets packing to manual and Post will only do it when you press a Ctrl-P at the main screen. This will save time when doing simple message deletes, but your files will not shrink until you pack them. The manual packing operation happens to all of the messages files at once and cannot be done for just one file at a time.

Of course, I may have screwed up `getting there'. Or I may misunderstand what the web site is trying to tell me.

Comments: To: A Meshar MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hmmm, seems I'm not making much headway here. Looks like we're not connecting at the right level (which is probably my fault). Let's see if I can simplify it to a maximum: 1. Download the HTML file. 2. Display HTML file in HV (no graphics -- same as if Gif Display is off). 3. Download one graphic image file (and store it on RAM drive). 4. Check keyboard buffer for PAGE-UP or PAGE-DOWN 5. If PAGE-UP or PAGE-DOWN in keyboard buffer, execute PAGE-UP or PAGE-DOWN in HV. 6. If more graphic image files to be downloaded, go to (3), otherwise go to (7). 7. Display HTML file + graphics images in HV (same as if Gif Display is on). Since the largest amount of wasted time seems to be spent downloading (especially on a slow modem) graphic images, it would seem a good enhancement to put that time to good use if possible. It didn't strike me that displaying the document (with or without graphics) was the step that was taking the most time -- but definitely correct me if I'm wrong. And while downloading graphics, a good way to put time to good use would be to allow the user to read the text only. If needed, simplify calculations to a maximum in step (1), don't show fonts or positioning, take out any fancy display steps: just show the text and allow the user to read it, all the while downloading the graphics (but *not* at the *same* time: no multi-tasking here! just allow the user to PAGE-UP and PAGE-DOWN through the text, checking the keyboard buffer once between downloads...) Regarding reloading a page with graphics (while Gif Display is off), I agree that it's doable by turning Gif Diaplay on, hitting CTRL-R to reload a getting a page with images. But afterward, to return to my original surfing config, I have to turn Gif Display off again: a three step process. Why not have CTRL-T (or another hotkey) to reload *with* with images -- or perhaps only get the ones with hotspots (another option?), so that the user can simply surf text-based, then everytime they find out they want the images in this page, they can hit CTRL-T instead of the 3-step process? Okay, perhaps this can be done with a macro... uh? Did I miss anything? I hope I've understood the way HV works properly in order to make a good suggestion. This is not to say that HV doesn't work well already. The idea is that more options (even obscure ones) will satisfy a larger number of users -- who otherwise would simply give up and go away. And that *especially* applies to power users. After working on UI development for 10 years, this kind of stuff -- UI optimization -- sort of rubbed off on me...

But I did notice used 95's at a reasonable price so that is what I'm thinking of getting for her. What I'd really like to know is if the screen is full size or is it tiny like the Omnigo - which I didn't care for.

Sort of. But you would end up with a number of records in the merged file equal to the sum of the records in each of the smaller files. For example, File A has 100 records and File B has 50 records. If you merge both A and B into an empty file C, then C will have 150 records in it. The merge operation will not touch any existing records in the destination file - it just adds new records to it. So, in your example above, there would be a bunch of records with data in fields 1, 3 & 5 and another bunch of records with data in fields 2 & 4, but no records with data in fields 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. This is because the data base does not keep any kind of primary key field - it is not a relational data base.

You can tune your Win95 settings for the DOS box it is opening in order to run the CPACK. Tell the settings that the program needs max available RAM or enter a number like 620K. But I don't know what is the most amount of low DOS RAM you can manage with Win95. The CPACK applications use the same memory model as they do on the palmtop, so they only know about the lower 640K of DOS RAM and that is it. They won't use Expanded otr Extended memory.

Many thanks to all of you who were patient and helped me along. The other problem I have may not be resolved without changing my isp. I'm curious if any of the more technically savvy folks on the list have had any luck talking with the AT&T Worldnet support people regarding the apparent changes in their system and the problem accessing the service with the 200lx. I tried the 4 local Salem Oregon AT&T access numbers tonight, and none would allow a connection; the only one that will work is 800-543-3279. I tried their 888 number, but it won't work. I'm quite disappointed in this turn of events, since I went with AT&T because they had access numbers all over the country, and I specifically got the 200lx to use while travelling; now I understand they may be changing their system around so I won't be able to use it. If they leave the "800" number alone, I guess I'm ok while travelling in the States, but in Canada I'll not be able to dial in, since their 800 number doesn't work from across the border. There probably aren't enough 200lx users that use AT&T to make any economic difference to them, so maybe we will have to switch to different isp's? I'm curious what others have found out about this issue, and if complaining/discussing it with them has produced any positive response. If there's a specific group at AT&T that knows/cares about this problem, I'd like to know where to call so I can deposit my $.02 worth where it will do the most good!

Please let's be accurate: The images are part of the document. However, all browsers (HV included) will let you skip downloading the images. That leaves the text. When a document is downloaded, ther must be an accommodation for any lonks it has internally to itself, and to other documents elsewhere, if images are interspersed in the text, then their size is determined and the text is painted such that it will not appear on top of the image, etc. If you have less entities to deal with, all the "housekeeping" chores are simpler. And problaby faster. What I am NOT saying is that a 800K HTML file (e.g. The Report to Congress by the Special counsel for example) will paint at the same speed as the 4K index.html file in our own Webpage! Obviously there will be a difference. But you can try yourself to download our Index.html with and without images. You'll see a difference, albeit small (because I use very small and efficient images!) > So here's where I would see the improvement, as a two step process: > > 1. Show the text while the graphics are downloaded: No can do. The images are PART OF THE DOCUMENT, not a separate item. EVERYTHING MUST BE downloaded BEFORE the housekeeping can begin.

Then No can do! Where should the boxes be displayed? How large? To determine this the images must be downloaded first, processed and their size and location can then be determined.

If a one step is too slow for you then your suggestion to turn it into a double process will slow you down even more and you will not be satisfied. It makes no sense to me to do something, then turn around and do it again, only longer, and all the while not let you see anything more than what is on the screen. Please rethink this. If you want to display faster, skip the images. If you believe some image is indispesable, say it is discussed in the text you are reading, then click on it and download only what you need instead of every blippin' image and twirling icon and doodad the Webmaster decided to put on that document!

The exclamation mark is in inverse video, now I figured out that it is somehow related to hyphenation and it seems to be no "buggy" or irregular behaviour. I am using autoformat in document-mode, Here is an example of what's happening: one two three four- five Given that there is no hard return after "four-". Now if I delete some words in the first line, five will "jump" into the first line and the inverse exclamation mark will appear in front of the hyphen: "four!-five". I thought that it was some irregular behaviour - but it does not seem so - and that someone could answer my question ad hoc, so pardon me. I will "RTFM", which is currently not at hand.

But anyway - and that is why I had to say sorry above - there WILL NOT be any further development for HV. If it works as it is, use it. Otherwise, use any other product. I am NOT ABLE to improve HV in any way. It is the most ugly piece of code I have ever written. It was pushed way beyond what is "reasonable" to be done on a palmtop. There are hundreds of dirty tricks to make it work as it does. But that makes the code completely un-maintainable. If I try to change something, I can say for sure that I break some other things. Of course, I would LIKE to improve HV, but I am simply not able to. It would require a re-write from scratch. And that would not help at all unless I could write it for a more powerful machine (especially with more memory available, and luxury would be a multi-tasking OS).

I thought I would try one more time on a problem I am having. I am desperate. I have successfully installed the HP Connectivity Pack program on my PC (Windows95), at home but my notebook computer (Compaq Presario), which is the one I need to use the HP Connectivity Pack on the road doesn't run the program. I transfer with TransfileWin200 so transfering files is not an issue. I just want to use the Appointments, Phonebook, Notetaker and Database. While trying to start the program with the app200 file, an error comes up that says, "Another program has occupied INT 7EH or 7FH. Please remove it and try again". I would imagine this is because my computer is currently using something that the HP Connectivity Pack needs to operate. Finally, I would be happy if I could just use my Appointments, Phonebook, Notetaker and Database files on my PC with Excel, Access or Outlook or some simple DOS program. Is that too much to ask? Uggghhh! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find where to start my investigation?

Allows zooming on the palmtops. It's a lot slower than List, but that's because it's made to allow viewing (and converting) several Word Processing formats and HTML, and it checks the doc format first.

I've never tried it, but I remember seeing the ability to join or paste clusters together and save as one file. My book and program are at home, but I remember, in theory at least, once you found the starting cluster of a file, you could follow the pointers to the next clusters (wherever they were on the disk) and link them together again. I'd recommend making an *exact* copy of your flash card before you start - that way you can always try again; Also, I'm not sure about all the differences between the pointers, etc. on a flash card and a floppy. I mean, you can do a "diskcopy" on a floppy and edit the copy all day ... if you goof, no big deal; BUT with a flash card CAN you make a copy exact enough to work with? I guess what I'm asking the group is, "Is there a way to make an exact enough copy of all the sectors of a flash card to work w/ it? Is 'diskcopy' enough and does it then have to be copied to the exact-same type/size flash card or is there a utility that can back a flash card to an area of the HDD that can be worked on to recover the lost data, w/o editing the original medium ?" Perhaps those w/ better memory/experience w/ this facet of NU can help more. Hope these thoughts help and get you onto the right track. Good luck (from a guy who's trying to reclaim/recreate some of his own data!). --tim Tim Raymond III Corps Public Affairs, Ft.

Yeah, I used to do spiffy tricks on shared school computers with DiskEdit to change directories into files and then delete them, thus making them inaccessible. Then nobody could get into my valuable data. It would show up as lost clusters, but I gambled that nobody would run CHKDSK before I got back the next day. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 19:02:19 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Digital Camera Comments: To: Hans Peter Staber MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hans Peter: > I am no expert on that - just use an Olympus C900 (out of my I am leaning to the Olympus C2000 which is an evolution of the prior series...

I use a Konica Q-Mini, which is similar to Al Kind's former Canon Powershot 350. - Both can be had for under $150 (used) and - stores in JPG format on a CF, viewable on the LX. - Starts up in about 1-2 secs and - records at VGA (640x480) with 3 levels of compression. - Each shot takes about 10 secs before ready for the next shot. - Recharges NiCads in the camera in a couple of hours (never timed em, so don't know exact numbers). - built-in flash and macro, but no zoom - I have a 16mb CF in mine with 105 shots (at medium res) with room for 100 more. Additionally, the Konica lets me display the photos on a TV screen (ie, like a slideshow) and this is always great in a crowd... but making printed copies of the digital photos tend to be more time consuming and costly compared to dropping off a 35mm roll at the local photolab. Since you didn't mention hardcopy and specified that sub-megapixel resolution is adequate (far below film), then the Konica/Canon would probably be something you should look at. This is an old camera, and I don't know what's out there that's new and current. I took scads of photos using a 35mm SLR (Canon Rebel) and point-n-shoots (Olympus Stylus) and have yet to find a digital camera that gives me the quality I sometimes want at the price I can afford. I'd love to find an SLR with hybrid film and digital capabilities for say $500 so that I could get film quality and print cost with digital instant gratification and playback (without duct-taping my Konica to my Rebel ). - Longden A Meshar on 06/13/99 03:06:12 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to A Meshar To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Digital Camera What is a good digital camera to use?

I haven't done this with Fn, but the same sort of sequence does work with Menu, and they are both "sticky" keys, so I think the same principle would apply. That is, define the key sequence as a RELEASE of the Fn key, followed by More, and then you have to release both of them in the key definition, then you can "hit" and release the real key (More) in that definition.

Do you know which program it was that can do this? I can see lots of my data in clusters on the disk, using DiskEdit, but haven't figured out how to stitch them together yet. Some of it is fragmented, but this will only be a problem for QDATA.PDT and JOURN.GDB, both around 500K of encrypted data-- so I can't tell if they have rogue clusters interspersed.

But on the other hand, Appointment Book didn't either- so I have no idea what it was. The most important thing with HP Alarm Clock is that you start it if you have earlier terminated SysMgr or done a reboot. The Alarm which HP Alarm clock sets, dissapear if you exit SysMgr or reboot. The built-in apps with alarms has the advantage that when SysMgr starts, it check the apps and if a future alarm is found, they will be set. SysMgr can't include HP Alarm clock, so I solved it in another way. If you reboot your palmtop and then start HP Alarm Clock- you will hear a beep.

The ob800 has an on-board SCSI controller. You can hook up the CD-ROM drive in one of two ways. First, if you have the port replicator, you can plug it into the SCSI connector in the back. The second option is to get a special HP cable which, I think, plugs into the port replicator port. It's also possible that you could include the PCMCIA DOS driver in the Recovery boot floppy.

Be aware that GP has moved off of Earthlink to my home network. I just terminated my Earthlink account yesterday. I'm pretty sure David has updated the redirection on http://gp.hplx.net/ already. The actual address of the site is now http://sdl.continet.com/~support/ Now, if you *were* trying the right address, that's another story.. "yesterday was the worst of times, yesterday was the best of times"... I've been having random loss of routing since switching to a fulltime dialup, and yesterday was really bad. Luckily, my ISP tracked down the problem. It required a switch of my IP address, which meant cached records of my domain name out there in the DNS would return the wrong address until the change propagated. On top of that, I added a dynamic account with them and it managed to mess up the login on my fulltime account instead. Sometime in the afternoon the modem got bumped off and upon logging back in was switched to a dynamic address. Needless to say, my router did not agree and just redialed every 30 seconds in a hopeless attempt to get it's static address back. I finally noticed this about 6pm. This networking stuff can be such a joy.. :-) So... after a really bad day I think the connection should be much more stable than it has been the last couple of weeks. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 11:23:37 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Domingo Diaz-Vazquez Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Domingo Diaz-Vazquez Subject: Re: Federico de Argentina Comments: To: Federico Nachpitz MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ----- Original Message ----- From: Federico Nachpitz To: Sent: Friday, June 11, 1999 6:44 PM Subject: Federico de Argentina > Hablas Espa=F1ol?? > > Soy un loco usuario de la Palmtop 200lx y me gustar=EDa tener alg=FAn > interlocutor en mi idioma ya que es mas f=E1cil comunicar ciertas cosas. > Un abrazo....si hablas mi idioma CHAU Aqui otro mas.

One more thing to keep in mind : hardcopy's are "bad" as compared to standard camera's as there is no good paper to print on. Knowledgeable people at HPHAND suggested also to wait a few months as there are new cameras due to be released with better lenses and more similarities to standard camera's. Then there is the file format issue : it was said that only TIFF is the safest file format as it does not change any file content. JPEG somewhat "degrades" with every edit&safe action you do.

Kodak made a custom digital back for the Nikon F4 almost at the start of the tide.... I remember cuz it was used where I worked last in an effort to go "filmless" several years ago. I don't recall any recent offerings... part of the problem may be the integration of camera functions with a digital back and the cost (and the limited market). Most people just want and need a cheapo digital camera for grab shots... mostly to email or post on web pages. Digital backs are probably popular on high-end film cameras by photographers replacing their polaroid camera backs. As for viewing CFs on the LX... even my cheap Konica Q-Mini had a color viewscreen that was actually easier to view (even at 1"x1.5") than via the LX screen...plus I could plug the camera into a TV and use the television screen as a huge monitor for slideshows or preview. It's a great little camera, if you like instamatics. I guess I'm just waiting for the convergence of cost and technology. Film-wise, once there were (relatively expensive) SLRs for the serious amateurs and there were instamatics for the rest... and now you can use a (relatively cheap) modern SLR with "idiot-proof" settings or switch to get complete focus, aperture and shutter control. That's what I'm waiting for digitally in cameras....high quality, convenience and low cost (for image capture and hardcopy). - Longden "Raymond, Timothy CPT--PAO" on 06/15/99 07:03:05 AM To: 'HPLX Mailing List' , Longden Loo/AGH/Candle@Candle cc: Subject: RE: Digital Camera I remember reading about a *PLANNED* development (no pun intended) where some company was working on a digital insert for regular cameras(!).

You tell PGP what file to create by using the "-o " option on the command line, e.g.: c:\pgp\PGP.EXE -sta %1 -o c:\www\post2\scratch. Oh, could it be you forgot the trailing dot?

Given these, you should be able to get most CD-ROM drives working off the 800. The recovery diskette has config.sys and autoexec.bat annotations for where to put the hooks to a non-HP drive, or you could InterLink/InterServer the files from another PC. A parallel-port CD-ROM would be the easiest - no HP-specific drivers needed for bootstrap. Then you can install any of the acknowledged OSes on there (W3.x, 95, 98, NT3.51, NT4, W2000). Of course, you *could* always do Linux, since there's no OS there at the moment. So, no you don't need the HP CD-ROM drive or disc, just the driver files. Admittedly, the CD-ROM disc and, to a lesser extent, the drive, will make things easier, but there are lots of ways for the determined user to get around their absence.

But it is a old model which has 30/120 picture internal memory with best quality 640*480. No memory card.. I am very satisfied with the picturequality. I have looked at pictures taken with other brands. And I am very impressed with my Olympus. So go Olympus! The only bad thing is that new Olympus digcams use Smart Media. They are expensive compared to compact flash. My next digcam will be a camera with a compact flash. Hope that Olympus go for compact flash instead of the smartmedia..(ssdc..?) BTW I bought a Hplx when I wanted to take more pictures than my max 30. I transfer pics from my C410L to my Hplx..New camera with exchangebal memorycards or Hplx...glad I went for the Hplx guys!! --__next_part__1290965747__ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -- Mvh/Regards Martin Bergvill Blomvikveien 10 8516 Narvik Norway Mailto:martin@mobilpost.com Phone:+4776941462 Mobil:+4790199462 Mailer:Hp200Lx Palmtop using Post/LX -- This is probably the best button to press."

If you find a cluster with your data in it, you should be able to trace the FAT to get the file.

If they're encrypted then the contents of each record is scrambled, but the record headers remain intact. You can get the docs from SUPER, but generally each record starts with the following header bytes: 1. One byte for the record type, will always be from zero to 31 (0x1f). 2. One byte for the record status, usually having the value 2. 3. Two bytes of the record length, LSB first. 4. Two bytes of the record's index number. So if you scan the disk looking for a number in the range 00..1f, then see if the next byte is 02, you'll likely have the beginning of a record.

But it sounds like a very tough job. Okay. I have a vague idea of where on the disk the database is, from searching for the first few letters of a database file. So if I block off a 500K section, save it to a file, and then scan through it, maybe I can recover some of my records. (I only need about 60 of them from the tail end of the file.) Is there any way to decrypt the contents of the "raw" dump of records, seeing as how I know the database structure (and have an older version) and know the password and all?

ALT M works for my keyboard. Inevitably, there are more questions: 1) Why does the numeric keypad not work, even with the number block light ON ? 2) How do I select a letter, word or paragraph, SHIFT with the normal arrow keys does not work ? Oddly enough, when I type 1 and 9 on the numeric pad, a whole block is highlighted, when I press 8 or 2, lines are highlighted without using SHIFT. When I press 5 on the numeric pad, text is erased.

As the character-sets used in displaying Chinese, Japanese, and Korean settle down into standards (currently the most used for Chinese seems to be something called Big5), I'm sure translation engines like babelfish will crop up. there are similar efforts that translate from English into Big5 encoded Chinese, but only do single words and small phrases rather than complex information. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 21:54:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John J Vanderstel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John J Vanderstel Subject: Re: Fluffy wish machine Hi Pete, >I understand how that can all be done but I don't understand one >thing, what is LBL?

I love Perl and have used it for years, but it's a little slow on the palmtop. I would recommend using awk, as a one-line script can do what you want. Lets say your comma-delimited file looks like: Abraham,Lincolm,President Albert,Einsten,Scientist Mel,Gibson,Actor Bill,Gates,Demon Dennis,Leary,Comedian And you want to sort by "title" (third column). awk -F , '{print $3 "," $1 "," $2}' data.in will output: President,Abraham,Lincolm Scientist,Albert,Einsten Actor,Mel,Gibson Demon,Bill,Gates Comedian,Dennis,Leary That's all folks.

Most desktop keyboards do not create any special codes for shifted arrow keys, so applications cannot detect it.

I think the screen is the same physical size as on the 100/200LX -- it's at least similarly-sized -- but it does not have the same resolution, so can only do 40x16 characters for text (I can't remember the graphics resolution). The 95LX's built-in apps are fewer and less complex. For example, there's no database app, no note-taker app, and the phone book app has only fields for name, phone number, and a note-like field for address information. But...they run the screen in text mode vs. graphics mode on the 100/200LX, so they appear to be more responsive than the built-in apps on the 100/200LX. You may find yourself thinking somewhat more seriously about those speed upgrades for your 100LX if you let yourself play with the 95LX for too long. -Frank McConnell ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 13:31:51 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , ahmad nasaruddin hj mahmud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: ahmad nasaruddin hj mahmud Subject: E-mail List MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I would be very grateful if you kindly delete me e-mail number from your List as I find it very difficult to cope with the large number of e-mails that come in every day approx 80 to 70 per day .

This has been a real learning experience for me. I think that I am now a expanded memory, Software Carousel and MaxDOS expert now. David Sareant took some time out of his = data recovery efforts to offer some suggestions as did Mack, Andreas, Bill Childers and countless others. I really figured that I would end up at Mack's house, knocking on his front with my head hunf low and mumbling = "Help me, Master" but David had me try a couple of things and, by golly, it now works. Setting all of these things up to work together was not a task for the 'faint of heart', but now that I look at the way I have it setup, = it makes perfect sense. I guess that's the whole point, to learn from the knowledge base of others and that's what is cool about this list.

It seems that this is possible because of the way AT&T and WWW.EXE interpret and respond to the RFC concerning login. Between the two, it turns out the older version seems to get by AT&T's newest "improvement". We now have a newer version of WWW.EXE being tested in beta which seems to work so far. What puzzles me about AT&T is this: They have something that works. So to make sure they piss off their customers they muck with it :-( ... Weird... Oh well...

If you read Spanish or translated my response, you'll note I did *not* offer this as a "solution"... I said maybe he could get by on it until he found a friend to translate. After all, it may be a bit of effort and/or difficult to understand, but do you want to exclude someone from the list when there *might* be a way to get information across? I sure don't. I figured it was worth a shot. As to warning the recipient... well, I did say I don't speak Spanish and that I was using Babelfish. Since he read the result, I'm sure he got the idea. >A babelfish translation of the original message follows (with my markings): I don't read Spanish, but the translation was clear enough: He's crazy about the 200LX, and is looking for someone who can translate for him because it's tough getting some things across. If one can figure out what the writer meant, then in this case the translator program has done its job well enough, IMHO. >You get the idea. I notice you didn't translate my message back to him, which comes out: === I do not speak Spanish, but Babelfish (Altavista): http://babelfish.altavista.com/cgi-bin/translate? translated for me. This answer was written in English and translated the same way. Babelfish it will incur mistakes but the results are generally comprehensible. Perhaps this will help for now? Good luck, Rick === With the exception of the extraneous "it," I'd say that's a pretty darned good translation. The trick I use when I'm forced to rely on Babelfish is to translate what I want to say, then translate it *back* to English. That will show you any rough spots, and you can then change your wording to clean it up. (For Spanish output, it seems the main thing is to avoid pronouns (personal or otherwise), because of the Spanish masculine/feminine/other categorizations.) The result is probably far from perfect, but it should be more understandable in the target language than the unedited original translation. >Just don't try to get a job or a girlfriend with this thing. :-) Job, maybe. I dunno about getting a girlfriend... she might take pity on you or think the way you talk is "cute." >I don't know what it would do with the technical chatter in this list . . . Nor do I. I rather expect it would leave untranslated any technical terms it didn't understand. But perhaps we could figure it out from context. As I said, I didn't offer it as a solution, but as a "maybe this will help until..." Any port in a storm, as it were. If you have a reason to be excited about the concept behind Babelfish, maybe you'll want to try some of the other online translators and dictionaries: http://rivendel.com/~ric/resources/dictionary.html#freetrans http://www.systransoft.com/ http://rivendel.com/~ric/resources/dictionary.html http://www.samson.spb.su/~tea/dict.html I doubt any of them will be better, just different.

Absolutely, and that statement will probably be true for a long time to come. Just like computers, you will continue to get more and more for the same amount of money. At some point one decides that the price/features balance is right for them, and they go for it. But unless there's an immediate need, waiting "a little while longer" will probably never hurt! >Then there is the file format issue : it was said that only >TIFF is the safest file format as it does not change any file >content. JPEG somewhat "degrades" with every edit&safe action >you do. Just for the record, there are two aspects to this question. One is any compression used with the file format, the other is the inherent resolving capacity of the file format itself. For example, JPEG uses "lossy" compression to crunch down an image, which is the problem to which you're referring. On the other hand, GIF (which no one in their right mind would use for photos, this is just an example) uses LZW compression, which is "lossless"... BUT, GIF only supports up to a 256 color palette. So, with JPEG you get an image that can be pretty astoundingly great (if you create the file with zero or minimal compression), but if you're using non-zero compression, every time you re-save the image it has the potential for getting a little bit worse. With GIF, when you first save the image it gets crammed into a limited palette, so there may be some degree of instant degradation... but whatever you see is what you continue to get, no matter how many times you re-save it after that point. TIFF supports a virtually unlimited palette, and you can turn compression *off*, so it's the best of both of those worlds. Other file formats like PSD and BMP are also lossless, but expect a *huge* file in any case where you're preserving all the original data. You might find the Graphics File Format FAQ at http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-faq/graphics-fileformats-faq-part1.html to be of interest. It's full of interesting tidbits and useless trivia.

That rather depends on what you mean by "bad" and how you compare the printed results. Both printers and papers have come a long way in recent years. Something as inexpensive as an Epson Stylus Color Photo (*not* the standard Epson Stylus Color) printing at maximum resolution to Hammermill Jetprint Ultra Gloss or any of the other quality photo-print papers can provide a result virtually indistinguishable from a color print... and if that's not good enough you can go to dye sublimation printers with heavy gloss stock. As an experiment, I've previously taken the camera out of the loop by scanning an existing glossy photo at high resolution and printing a copy using the aforementioned Epson/Hammermill combination. As long as I don't let anyone touch the results (the photo inkjet paper cited above is slightly thinner than print paper (others aren't)) most people couldn't tell which was which... in fact only one person was able to identify the copy, and that was because he had the smarts to lean over and catch the ceiling light bouncing off the surface of the ink. Even when I let folks touch-n-feel, it's about 50/50 that they can tell. Unless they flip the thing over and see the "Printed on Kodak paper" on the print. 8¬) And I believe you can get Kodak photo inkjet paper which might eliminate that problem. In my experience, the limiting factor has not been the paper (or printer) but the camera... and that is rapidly changing. When I bought my Olympus D400L several years ago, it was far-and-away the best combination of features and price for my application, offering a resolution of 1024x768. But at that resolution you'll be hard-pressed to get much above a 3x5 without digital artifacts being visible. It's purely a snapshot camera when it comes to prints. These days, though, you can buy "megapixel" cameras for about the same price. I have had problems in the past with running over the list maximum message length, so I'll continue this in another post.

As an engineer, who deals with these things almost daily, I'm curious now what specifications it didn't meet. And how the 2X has been "refined" to alleviate these issues. Seems to me that if some setup and/or hold times were violated at 2X, then no maturation cycle would solve the problem. There must be more to the story.

I never re use a floppy, they are cheap enough so that it's not necessary, and I never compress, password-lock, or encrypt the files on the backups. I do not back-up applications (I keep the apps on individual disks) and I don't worry about sorting the information in the old disks.

I originally responded to an old ad about the simpler $25 serial network, but when I checked on it, Imodes was no longer selling the $25 software, so I purchased the more versatile $75 network software. I'm glad that I did. I too was intrigued with the alleged simplicity of the $25 software, but I never got a chance to see it, either. If it was indeed shareware, I hope that someone who has it would be willing to send me a copy that I could evaluate and possibly register once I have it in hand. It's too bad that the $25 software is no longer available, as that simple HP200LX/PC linking alternative would be really handy for HP200LX users. Cheers!

Be aware, Rod and EVERYONE: When you use KILLMSG you can indeed turn the palmtop off while it is charging. HOWEVER: When you do this the charging STOPS! So do not assume that it continues charging - it does not. If you turn off the machine you also turn off the program that is responsible for monitoring the the charging at the SysMgr level!!! IOW, you can have some pretty nasty surprises!!! The KILLMSG provides two major advantages (among others...) It stops the the messages about Charging stopped and started etc. which last 3 seconds and seem to disrupt the neckbreaking flow of work of many of us :-¨ And it also lets you turn off the machine when you charge to change PCMCIA. But, it is called KILLMSG, not MAGIK. So to repeat in case I was not clear: When you turn off the machine and it was charging, the charging STOPS too. To resume the charging you must turn the machine ON again. İconfirmed in discussions with Mack early in May, he said he'd make it a bit more clear in the docs, if not there already.¨ Avi M.

You were indeed very clear and helpful with your post about babelfish. Helpful even to me because I did not even know such a thing existed online. I was excited because, even though I am fluent in english and spanish, I thought correcting or editing *long* documents would be easier than translating them to begin with. But after translating some personal, job-related documents with babelfish, a good third of it became uninteligible. So the let down feeling is not with you, but with babelfish.

One of my beefs is that some non-technical words were not even translated at all. Usuario=user (is usuary even an english word at all? Seems like spanglish to me. Spanglish is an American phenomenon which often occurs because the speaker knows little english, and tries so desperately to convey his sense that he simply makes the spanish words *sound* like english. It is a very human thing, but I would have never thought a computer would do that! An opposite example of spanglish is 'mopear'. To mop=trapear, but someone took the english word and made it sound like spanish! Other words not translated were: interlocutor=chat partner, si=if (in that context) > I notice you didn't translate my message back to him, which comes out: -snip > With the exception of the extraneous "it," I'd say that's a pretty darned > good translation. I think that's a merit on you, rather than babelfish, since you went to the trouble to guess what it did not like to translate. I found little problem with your spanish post, and your technique of translating back and forth surely helped a lot. > (For Spanish output, it seems the main thing is to avoid > pronouns (personal or otherwise), because of the Spanish > masculine/feminine/other categorizations.) I fed it a document with few/no pronouns, and it translated word per word, with no attempt at grammar. YMMV > >I don't know what it would do with the technical chatter in this list . . > > Nor do I.

One funny thing for me is that I learned computer terms in the US. Then, when attempting to read computer documents in spanish, I had a lot of difficulty at first (and I am fluent in spanish). Technical terms are always tough to translate. Again, YMMV . . . > If you have a reason to be excited about the concept behind Babelfish, > maybe you'll want to try some of the other online translators and > dictionaries: Thanks for the references, I'll check them out. As someone said on this thread, even a primitive, word-per-word Japanese to English translator would be great for those little software gems that keep coming out of Japan.

That's how DOS "knows" which sectors are available for use by other files. The only thing left (until it gets reused) is the a file entry record in the directory, with the first character in the filename changed to mark it as "deleted". The directory record also has a pointer to the 1st cluster used by the file, the size of the file, some flags, and the time/date stamp. Norton uses "reasonable guesses", but it can't successfully recover all large files on a badly fragmented drive or after you've deleted a lot or created much on the disk after deleting. It knows that the file consisted of the cluster pointed to by the directory record. If your file was less than one cluster in size, that's enough (plus the 1st character of the filename) to get your file back. If your file was larger than one cluster in size, it "guesses" that the next clusters that are currently free belonged to that file and it chains them together for you. If you're lucky, that's enough, but it's not a sure thing... I've heard that some file-recovery programs (don't know about Norton) can use backup FAT-table images if you've been making regular "image" backups using their tools. If your file was in the image, it can use the "chain" in the backup FAT copy to recover the file. I've spent weeks (recovering what I could from a very old DOS system) patching FAT and directory tables by hand. I know this stuff far TOO well. :¬p ... JLS -- John L.

It may be that you have an older version of the driver as I added that a while back, but it may have been after you received your upgrade. It should be called SPD31.EXE and you should hear no beep. I did have a problem with eating the keystrokes at one point which would cause a beep, but that has been fixed also. Just doing a directory or going in the More icon screen, you should see a major difference in speed.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, this doesn't necessarily disagree with what you say, but I remember a weekend spent `reconstructing' my 100meg hard disk (this was back in the days where one said `Wow' about a 100 meg hard disk). The `FAT', fortunately for me at least, wasn't `cleared' in any sense, at least not by the version of DOS on my machine. IIRC, `deletion' of a file involved (a) changing the directory entry to have something like an 0xE5 as the first character; (b) setting the `file pointer' in the directory entry to `0'; and (c) linking the `chain' of clusters that contained the body of the file into the list of `free space'. As a result, if you could catch a `destroyed' disk quickly enough (before there was too much writing and re-writing in the FAT), you _could_ reconstruct the files by (a) replacing the first character in the file name in the directory; (b) finding the actual first cluster of the file and patching its address into the directory entry; and (c) re-forming the chain of successive blocks, pulling them out of the `free space list'. At least that's the way I remember it. Stanley, John L. wrote: > > > From: Stan Peters İmailto:speters@KDSI.NET¨ > > > > Normally, the fat is what links together the clusters.

Well, as far as DOS formatted disks go: Correct on (a). What you describe in (b) wasn't true on any systems I've worked on. And, (c) is only true in the sense that the clusters are released for reuse by being marked as free. (There is NO chained list of free space on a DOS disk! There's simply no place for it...) > As a result, if you could catch a `destroyed' disk quickly enough > (before there was too much writing and re-writing in the FAT), you > _could_ reconstruct the files by (a) replacing the first character > in the file name in the directory; (b) finding the actual first > cluster of the file and patching its address into the directory > entry; and (c) re-forming the chain of successive blocks, pulling > them out of the `free space list'. Well, there's really no place for a free space "LIST" to be stored. You might suppose the FAT table could be used .... but .... FAT entries that are available for use are marked as available by being set to 0... You can work from a generated "list" of unallocated clusters, but they wouldn't necessarily be in the same order the clusters were in when they were a file. Are you sure this was on a DOS machine? I think I remember reading about a file system like what you're describing, but it wasn't any version of DOS since DOS 3. (Could it have been an NTFS partition or some UNIX variant?) (I could also imagine having the list you described if you were running some special TSR software that retained that kind of information... But it's not part of a normal DOS system.) ...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'll try to reconstruct the memory with a little better detail. It certainly wasn't NTFS (no such thing existed then, wasn't it a decade away?), and while my brother was a Unix Systems Developer, I never had anything other than a casual and familial interest in Unix. It was _unquestionably_ a DOS machine. I don't remember Dos version, though I would suspect 3.3 (perhaps). It was a NEC portable that I bought at J&R in New York, and it had a glorious screen (for its time). I don't remember what caused the disk to blow, but it was probably the logical equivalent of a `DEL *.*'. I remember (a) instantly recongnizing it as a mistake, so no issues of `later use' were involved; and (b) I did, with 36hrs of work _completely_ recover the disk. I do explicitly remember that it required octal patches to both the directory sectors and to the FAT itself. A particular challenge was piecing together the ZIP files into chunks that would eventually allow themselves to be unzipped. I seem to recall that the FATs of that day had `Free', `Next Cluster' and at least two other kinds of `flags' as entries, but I can't yet remember the purpose of the flags (except that they were illegal cluster numbers, given the disks that we had at the time). With luck, and a little time this coming weekend, I may be able to re-constitute my all too vague memories, or, better yet, I may be able to find some of the code from that era. Good ASCII can do that.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Folks, After thinking a bit more about releasing the source to HV, I realised that the source to HV actually contains the API for WWW/LX, which is like the crown jewels to D&A, and would adversely affect them if released (potentially close them down if some unscrupulous developer took the code and created a competing program for free). Removing the API would probably be too much work (and they're not getting paid for it, so it would detract from their other useful work on POST/LX).

Could they have been 'EOF', 'Bad Cluster', and 'Invalid Cluster'? Entries in a DOS FAT table would be: 'Free' is any entry with a 0 in it. 'Next Cluster' is a normal FAT entry pointing to the next file cluster. 'EOF' marks the end of a file chain. (for 12bit FAT: 0xfff)(for 16bit FAT: 0xffff) 'Bad Cluster' marks a cluster that has failed and shouldn't be used. (for 12bit FAT: 0xff7)(for 16bit FAT: 0xfff7) 'Invalid Cluster' is any FAT entry that equals 0x0001 or any cluster number beyond the end of the partition (ignoring 'Bad Cluster'(s)). ... JLS PS: Standard 'Bad Cluster' values are 0xff7 or 0xfff7 for 12 and 16 bit FATs, but some older chkdsk utilities have used other values (up to 0xffe or 0xfffe) and DOS/Windows tends to honor anything in that range as "Bad". -- John L.

I added it to LXPIC, because it is needed for speed upgraded palmtops to prevent flicker in the nonstandard 4-grayscale 640x200 CGA mode, which LXPIC supports. Indeed you can use it on any speed upgraded palmtop. AFAIK it differs from Mack's driver by using a higher frame rate, which results in a 'crisper' screen without any remarkable flicker, even under artificial light conditions. DSPEED cannot switch between fast and slow. This may be a disadvantage for some games to play, but it makes the driver simpler, because no keyboard interrupt has to be checked. DSPEED can be removed from memory with DSPEED/R. It's resident code uses only a few bytes. Together with the 256 bytes COM header, which every TSR has to carry around, the whole memory consumption is less than 300 bytes. In fact, there is no need of a TSR, if you never change the screen mode. Only after a mode change, the preset values from the BIOS have to be overwritten to fit the higher clock rate. But because screen modes are changed so often, it is reasonable to use a TSR which does everything automatically.

OTOH, if a photo lab offered 1 hour turnaround on film to digital files at the same discounted prices as for prints, I'd probably consider that option. However, the services I've seen appear to turn around the images on the order of days, not hours, and I don't recall prices as being cheap. I could use a Polaroid camera and then scan the images I want... but Polaroid film is expensive and the results usually don't compare to 35mm. What I'd like is to be able to download, say 24 shots, from the camera and provide them to some service for print development for $5 (that's how much I pay at a 1 hour discount photo developer). A question for the Canon A5 people (I know you're out there)... now that prices are dropping, I may want to replace my Konica Q-mini with the A5 (both seem to work well with the LX).

Can I charge > them in the LX using the built in charging program? Yup. First, basics of the LX charging system. In the Setup program, you can tell it you have Alkaline batteries, in which case all charging is disabled; or you can tell it you have NiCds, in which case you can tell it whether or not to enable charging. If charging is enabled, the stock, as-shipped LX will go into a 6-hour charge cycle at 100mA, then drop down to 45mA trickle charging. This cycle was set to be able to take the lowest-capacity commonly-available (a few years ago) AA NiCds, c. 400mAH, to somewhere near full-charge before dropping to trickle. (Numbers taken from batset documentation, available from S.U.P.E.R.). Starting with dead (brand new) NiMH cells, put the LX on the AC adaptor, remove the old batteries, insert the new (dead) ones, and enable charging. Leave it alone for at least 6 hours. In fact, the batteries are probably plenty big enough to want two full 6-hour charge cycles, if not more, so you can reset the quick-charge timer by unplugging and replugging the AC adaptor after 6 hours. Now you've got charged batteries, and the question comes up, how do you maintain them? Different people have found different solutions. The one I've settled on, works great for me (first with 850mAH Radio Shack "High-Capacity" NiCds, then with 1200mAH Radio Shack NiMH's) is to always and only trickle charge, never high-current charge, and keep the LX plugged in whenever I'm at my desk or asleep. So I use batset, from S.U.P.E.R.; I have in autoexec.bat: batset /c/t=00:01 which enables charging (/c) and sets the high-current charge time down to one minute (the shortest it supports). -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 15:07:08 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Double Speed questions MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Hi friends, I'm thinking about upgrading my palmtop to DS.

The Canon A5 zoom is $350, the Nikon $800? The Nikon will produce better 8x10 prints. But for web images and 4x6 prints, 780x1024 of the A5 is plenty. 640x480 is enough for web pictures unless you want a full screen screen saver or crop heavily. If you are into taking pictures of people, the Canon has good skin tone and the 28mm wide angle is very useful at group meets. Agfa is bringing out (in June ??) the ??

Switching back and forth would probably require a new version of the speed driver that can switch itself on and off, though.

You are not dreaming. Rod suggested a _public_ release of the HV code. Embedded in the code is the API. We agreed to give the API to _specific persons_ who are developing an add-on provided it does not harm our own product base (or plans we have) and provided suitable agreements are in place.

Are there not simpler ways? Not sure what you are asking. It seems like a logical thing to do - I run the backup first, then I move the appointment to the next day (date) when it should run. Doing it in that sequence (backup then move the appointment) seems essential. You see, if I move the appointment out to another date, the backup would not run. :-) Is this what you asked? Maybe not. Let me guess at other possibilities: 1. I do the backups so that vital information is preserved in case it is somehow corrupted. I am not sure there is an easier way to backup the information than to back it up. I have yet to find a computerised way that will pull out the PCMCIA under program control, stick it into the notebook, and copy it to the hard drive on the notebook as a backup. Unfortunately, that is still a manual process for me. (I guess I am a Stegosaurus ...) 2. The backups are done on a regular basis, so that when something does go bad, I can restore the data from a fairly fresh backup copy, and if there is a loss, it is minimal. There is an entire philosophy behind it, simple, though: It says: The backups should be frequent enough so that they are always more frequent than the amount of time / work required to resotre a loss since the previous backup. So if your tolerance for redoing work is short, say you are not prepared to redo 20 minutes' worth of work, than you should back up every 19 minutes. If you can tolerate redoing 2 days' worth of work, then back up just before 2 days pass. 3. At 5 am I usually am asleep and do not use the palmtop, so it seems like a good time to do automatic work. 4. It is easier to let the machine move the appointment if it is possible to make it repeatable. I recently stopped because I had several night-long sessions which meant disabling the forward macro, and I have just been too lazy to reset it. 5. Well, I am out of guesses... So if you have a suggestion how to make htings easier, please let me know. I just want to make sure you understand what _I_ am doing and what _I_ need, so you don't waste your time creating something for me that does not do anything useful for me. All the best, Avi M.

As Peniel indicated, the crystal you require is a frequency of 31.673550 MHz. You must also ensure that a crystal with a fundamental frequency of this is used and not a 3rd overtone crystal otherwise the LX will use actually run at 1/3rd of 31.6....MHz - i.e. slower than normal.. A further problem is the case size, the case used in the 200LX is particularly small, although you can get away with using a UM1 style case which is bigger. A while back I investigated the supply of a suitable crystal and could not purchase one anywhere off the shelf, including from trade suppliers, so in the end I had some custom crystals made which cost quite a bit more and were only possible in UM1 size. There is a doublespeed driver available if you do get a crystal though. You can use Stefan Peichels DSPEED.COM driver in AUTOEXEC.BAT to solve baud rate, display skew, stopwatch/RTC & alarm sound speed errors.

You might want to give it a try and if you don't like it the crystal is easily swapped back out. Then again, you may not.

The available free memory reported by LxPro should be as reliable as MEM or CHKDSK reports, which also means, that it is not reliable under SysMgr, because SysMgr uses another memory organization than DOS. I implemented the free memory feature long ago to let you find out, how much memory an application uses, so that you can put the appropriate KB value behind the '|' in SysMgr's ...&more.

Comments: To: Martin Bergvill MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sigs are clearly a matter of taste. I hate them as I find them both useless and boring. Useless, as the one person in a million that might want to know something about me (phone, address, ...) will surely be able to write me at my EMail address and I can send them the information, and boring because sigs often contain ASCII art that looks like gibberish in NetScape/Explorer's proportional fonts or `sayings' that might be cute once but surely become tedious if the poster writes much. Some Newsgroups have `Sig rules' that conflict with those in other newsgroups. I think this is likely to get worse. For example, some companies are starting to _require_ their employees to use long sigs that contain `legal disclaimers' that really begin to soak up some bandwidth. I guess the one think a sig can do that I find (very occasionally) useful, is give a `one-click' route to a poster's web page, if they have one. Obviously a web page URL isn't automatically available anywhere else. The web page can, of course, contain whatever facts the poster wants to release. So my personal taste indicates `shorter is better'. I'd only use a sig if the newsgroup `required' it, or if I had a web page URL that contained something generally useful. And if any newsgroups that I read did require them, I'd join any attempt to change the charter to `un-require' them.

New features include: 1) It adds the ability to write your moves to a text file, so you can refer to it later or e-mail a game's solution to someone else.

Note that if an unsolved game was later solved with a previous version of =46reeCell, it will show in the unsolved list until it's been solved with this version. If you want to avoid this, you can edit the .HST file with a text editor and delete the "not solved" games which were later solved.=20 5) You can easily find all the cards of a particular value by hitting the number key for it (1 through 9, T for Ten, and J, Q, and K). All the cards of that value will be highlighted until you hit another key. Because of this, the X key now quits the game instead of Q.

It's 11982. There was a website about Microsoft's FreeCell (I just checked and it's no longer there) which told more than you ever thought anyone would take time to write. There was a project where they assigned a block of numbers to each of many people to try to solve them all. This was the only one that's never been solved. They even found special games such as the one where all 52 cards would be on the board until the very last move (requires four aces at the top of one column when it's first dealt). They would also play many of the games without using any cells at all. There are ~32000 games in Microsoft FreeCell, and one million in the HPLX version, so the numbers of the games don't correspond at all. > And while we're on the subject... how is a FreeCell game's number >related to its initial arrangement? Is there an algorithm for this? Yes, but it's too complicated to do you any good. The distribution of cards is determined by a software pseudo-random number generator, which comes up with a sequence of numbers, each of which is determined by its predecessor. For example, the simple one included in some documentation with the HP 41C calculator was to take a number between zero and one (the seed), multiply it by 9821, then add 0.211327, then take just the fractional part of the result, so you get another number between zero and one (try it). Ideally, the sequence of numbers you get has no distinguishable pattern. Most RNG's are more complicated. For the HPLX FreeCell, I used Turbo Pascal 7's built-in one. I'm sure for MS FreeCell, they used MS C. I have no idea what the algorithms used are, but they seem to be pretty good. Then with the sequence of these numbers, you decide how to pick cards. I use an algorithm where I pick a position of the deck by multiplying the number by 52, then pick a second position, then swap the cards in those two positions. Do this hundreds of times and you have a well-shuffled deck. -Curtis Cameron ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 00:36:37 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hpstaber@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hans Peter Staber Subject: Re: double speed & software Comments: To: Mack Baggette MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Mack and all, > Just doing a directory or going in the More icon screen, you should see = a > major difference in speed.

I believe that IrDA is becoming a significant issue in the near future and thus a IrDA library (I don't think there is another one available for DOS?) could become a valuable asset. I already made IR.EXE (which is actually a part of WWW/LX) freeware instead of simply saying: If you want IrDA support: purchase WWW/LX!

You are entitled to your opinion. I too do not like Ascii art and big sigs. But I like to see in the sig where people are situated..

If I want to know some additional info about you I have to write a new mail to you and ask for it. That is also waste of bandwidth if you ask me. And one more thing when we are talking of bandwidth. You have sent this reply to my orginal posting as an CC to my emailaccount too. That is also waste of bandwidth.

At the time I wrote the driver (1995) I also played around with different settings for the DRAM refresh rate and DRAM, PCMCIA and ISA-Bus wait states. Maybe I should look at these values again now as faster PCMCIA cards and memory upgrades are available. But honestly, I don't feel very motivated. I would prefer if Mack could release his drivers as freeware, especially because of one reason: You see more and more speed and/or memory upgraded palmtops for sale. I for example bought a speed upgraded 2.hand palmtop which came without batteries and hence without driver. Without my own driver there would have been no legal way to use this palmtop.

If so, how was the quality? I've used the Konica digital processing, currently available through Bradlees (a discount department store chain in the northeastern US). This is a second-day service; I don't know any place that does 1-hour digitization. A quick look at some old images revealed that they come back 718x522; not "megapixel". On the other hand, this process already yields good-quality hardcopy (the prints) and te means to make more (the negatives), so you don't need the higher-resolution to feed to a photo-quality printer, and the scans are just the right resolution for a CRT (web page or MIME). My only complaint was that the scans were sometimes too dark. I could rescan any print I really cared about, so there was no real risk. I primarily use this process for fast turnaround on pictures of events, such as the company cookout, for which I'm willing to pay the premium to avoid sitting at the scanner for several hours. I also use single-use cameras, which I don't mind passing around to people to take their own shots. At least one camera company caught on to this practice, and even offers a single-use dressed up for distribution at weddings. That said, I'll probably be picking up a digital camera, primarily to allow instant transmission of color stills from the field. I wouldn't be passing that camera around at parties, though ;-).

The encryption engine is so simple that you would not even need to know what the password is. After all, the password can be reocvered anyway. I played around with it while I was working on the Perl 5 module named HP200LX::DB which can be found on CPAN. I do not fully understand the algorithms yet, however, preliminary results suggest that decoding an entire database or any DB record should be possible. You could install the Perl package on your work station (not on the LX) and see if a command like "catgdb.pl -format 2 some-encrypted.gdb" returns any interesting results. It might return DB contents or garbage, which would mean that I don't know the algorithm as good as I previoulsy thought ;) Another path to try, if you are in the mood to wade knee-deep throuh Perl code: You could isolate DB records and glue them together with parts of your working older version and let the LX do the decoding. The Perl module above might be a basis for your hacking. +gg ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 08:58:51 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mack Baggette Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mack Baggette Subject: Re: DS quartz MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <> Anyone with a speed upgraded palmtop that was originally my upgrade or someone that contributes to the palmtop community such as yourself is most welcome to have the driver emailed to you from my web site.

I cannot think of a way you could fit a computer AND an input device AND a display into the same form factor as 3-5 stacked dimes. Methinks you might not need to given the widespread availability of PCs. The interface is everywhere already so you just haul your utilities and data from place to place. I ordered a few to play with their usefulness at making email encryption easier for the attorneys and clients with whom I work. Instead of coaching them on password security and then trusting them to use something other than their birthdate, I'll hand them a ring or keychain with either their key or the whole encryption utility programmed on it (the newest iButtons have 134K RAM so are far more flexible than the 6K versions). The iButton is waterproof, shockproof and tamperproof as well as encrypted making it perfect for such uses. iButtons aren't a replacement for the HP200lx (what is - it is a unique device). However, 134K crypto-secured computers available for a mere $32 is enough incentive to creative and artistic "hackers" that I expect to see incredibly useful devices in tiny form factors that send my palmtop to the attic within the next few years. Many people on this list have created what I consider to be miracles with less.

Well, what I want to try is running the algorithm over the data out of a whole bunch of sectors that I suspect are out of the GDB file, but can't tell because they're encrypted.

I'll summerize my experience below to help those in the war. I used a typical WATTCP.CFG (much like the example) My dial-up worked fine, connecting was no problem. My first problem was that my mail server (mail.valleynetworking.com) couldnt be resolved. So I entered the machine number (206.171.48.3) directly. I assumed this to be some kind of protocol conflict. Using the machine number I was able to start the POP & SMTP run but it would usually time-out & drop me. I changed my CFG setting a couple dozen times and decided to play with my modem string. Since I couldnt find my manual I used the settings in a MDM file downloaded from ccMail's FTP site. Turning RTS/CTS on did it for me. mail.valleynetworking.net is resolved and no more time-outs! Guess I'm so used to "Plug & Play" now, I tend to forget "the old ways." I'm still looking into Goin Postal though. Lots of nice features there. Hope this helps someone.

David, If SuperCalc can, 1, Start with a file nominated at the command line (SuperCalc ) , and 2, run a macro at start up (i.e., Save As .wk1, Quit), it should be easy enough to write a looped batch file to move through a directory of files, opening SuperCalc with the 1st file, deleting the Calc file after Calc exits, and looping back to opening Calc again with the new 1st file. If it won't do that, I have no other ideas.

Use the /f (Force ). Isolating the lost clusters won't affect an already running system...the lost clusters are sort of like benign tumors. CHKDSK /F just isolates them for removal.

Gee. Guess I've just been imagining that I can use shift-arrow with all my desktop applications... :) > What should work on all keyboards is starting > a selection with ESC SPACE. ESC+SPACE may work in PE, but most peoples fingers are practically hard-wired to automatically use the shift-arrows... (Literally EVERY application most people use, LX and desktop, allows using shift-arrows to select text.) What "should" work on all applications is making a selection with shift-arrows... I'm a victim of this myself. I've tried PE several times. It's got tons of great features. But I have to admit, I just couldn't adapt to using ESC-SHIFT instead of shift-arrow. I practically live at a keyboard. Over the last 15 years, shift-arrowing has become so ingrained in my typing habits that I had to go back to Memo and other editors because of this problem. Please Andreas... It would probably take less than 5 lines of code to also check the keyboard shift state via the bios. Then it would work with macros on the palmtop (why I assume you check for the special LX shift-arrow keycodes) AND it would work "normally" on most desktop machines too... Please? ... JLS PS: The above probably also explains why PE shift-arrows won't even work on an LX with some LX keyboard enhancers. -- John L.

I've been playing with my new laptop some more (don't worry - it's NOT a 200lx replacement - I need it to run some heavy-duty engineering design/layout programs). One thing that really impressed me was the support for the two PCMCIA slots. I just plugged in my Accton Ethernet card, and it automatically recognized it and loaded the drivers. Ditto for the Megahertz modem. (this is one of the few times I've actually had PnP work for me!). I finally became brave enough to plug in my ATA FLASH card. It recognized it, too. I was able to see all the files on the card. I stopped short of actually copying anything to/from it, however. Question: Does win98 know that my FLASH card is a plain FAT, and will it treat it properly as such? If not, can I tell it?

The bonus was that it was very fast compared to backing up using the serial/IR ports.

Response: I have a 64Mb Flash card that I interchange with my camera (sans adapter), the palmtop, and several PCs and laptops at work. All use different OS's. I've had no problem using it except that the palmtop doesn't like long file names that W9x/NT OS uses. I've even formated the flash card/drive on a laptop and have used it in many systems without problems. In fact, for me to format it using smaller drive clusters, I had to use a W98 OS. Even then I can use it on the palmtop, camera, et al. paul_stratton@email.msn.com -----Original Message----- From: R.

These are lxpic readable and processable. Just received it and am positively surprised about speed and ease of use with HPLX. Had so far the Sony DSC F1 in use, the picture quality of which should still be better than the Tohiba's (will still use the Sony for quick shots when out with the family). However the processing and transfer of the files to the palmtop via the PC was a bit cumbersome and particularly tedious when travelling. But then I need it most because I meet a lot of new faces in a lot of meetings. For this I have my phonebook enhanced with the amazing ipex program so that with the names also a picture pops up (turned out to be *the* ice-breaker in all negotiations, nobody rejected yet to be pictured) so not to address the person next time with the wrong name (and also to be able to check with others whether Mr. X is really the one in mind). For this the combination with the Toshiba seems to be unbeatable. Quality more than sufficient for the b/w HPLX pictures, no cable, no adapter, no power supply, no software.

From what I hear, yes-- using the Stacker Anywhere feature you can run an exe on the uncompressed portion of the card and then access the compressed portion. But can anybody comment on how much conventional memory Stacker takes up on the 200LX? I've heard a lot-- like 55K. > Also, I'd like to add a PCMCIA card slot on my home PC.

But they ran out a long time ago. The most convenient way is to spend about $70-$100 and get a version that fits in a 3.5" drive bay.

It is an older camera. After some amount of research I decided that unless I want to make a career out of the search, I have to focus on a realtively narrow set of features which would provide the underlying quality. Then, I'd have to see if the field has more than say 5 manufacturers, and if so, then cut that down to 3 or so. Well, as this is a camera, recording visually moments in time it seemd to me that the optics are important. So I chose to look at glass lenses only, since plastics, although quite good, still have too many aberrations etc. I will use it while travelling and in general my experience with cameras has been that they get banged up pretty good. Even in home settings. So as much as possible non-plastic body became a criterion. The imaging part of digitals is exploding. In the past 6-8 months they have gone from sub-Mega pixels to 2+ megapixels, and more is coming. The "business" part of recording the image is an electronic marvels that jams a huge number of tiny receptors of light. In that way it is "old technology" - our eyes have a similar structure. The "wisdom" in the market - well, really among the marketing folks and salespeople, is that the more pixels the merrier. Surely, on ot the measures of the quality of a picture is its acuity, how well it records the details. There are other measures of course. So using this one criterion, the more pixels the better. OTOH, the usage of the picture is also a significant consideration. If you want to print photographic quality pictures from digital material using anything costing less than $3000-12,000, then you can basically forget it. The digital "grain" on the digital "film" is just too coarse. I am ok with this: I want to record images of people, places, things. None of it will become material for commercial publishing in magazines, so I do not need to worry about the "grain". I will publish some stuff on the Web, and there, the weak link is the monitor you use to view images, its "grain" is much worse than most digital cameras, even the cheapest ones! I will also print some of the images in letters and maybe even brochures, manuals. again, I do not intend to print a full page image. I think at most a half page. Mostly much smaller images. Again, the pixellation density is almost meaningless, the printers do a good job with this. So, the mega-pixellation in my case was a small issue. It makes a huge difference in price - with the mega-plus going for a premium of about 200-300 above the non-mega pixel cameras. It was important to me that the camera fits in my hand without any special stretching etc. I want it to take minimal space. It was important IMHO to be able to manage the functions without having to remember 42 pages of instructions. I knew weight is an issue when I take the camera on a hike, esp. because I opted to bias for more metal for strength. So it meant smaller cameras. I wanted a ATA PCMCIA or a CF so I can even use it in my palmtop, and it meant also a standard image format. ____________ I will continue in the next post... ---------------------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 13:11:08 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Digital Camera - Part 2 Comments: To: industrial_projects@technologist.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is a continuation of prior post... A few other considerations came in too. I did not think it was reasonable to spend more than $1000 (and that was a bit rich too!) This market changes so rapidly that what I bought is already obsolete when I buy it, and within a few months, really a few - 3-6 months - there will be many many more and new options out there. Working through all this I narrowed the field to 3 manufacturers: Nikon, Olympus, and Canon. I used cameras from all these (and others) and appreciate their strength in the optics area. The cameras I looked at were the Canon PowerShot A5 Zoom (which I bought), the Nikon CoolPics 950, and the Olympus C2000. The last one made me drool. At about $1000 you get 2.1Mega pixels, with a huge number of features in a tiny box that fits well in my hand, jacket pocket etc. It is almost identical size as the Canon A5Zoom. The Nikon is a bit larger but it is another fantastic product. The Canon is 810,000 pixels (actually a bit less) and it priced at a 1/3 of the other two. In terms of the feature set, it lacks one or two wizardries, but not much!!! I was leaning all along to the Olympus. What made me go for tha Canon is the technology / price ratio. I want this to be a large number. In my estimation it was, especially compared to the other two with very similar technology to do what I want, and a price almost 3 times higher. The other technology consideration is that I don't mind obsoleting the Canon next year - I did not pay exorbitant price for it! And it is possible that in less than a year there will be a camera on the market that I will want. The CF usage is another plus. I have a 80MB cf which will take over 1200 pics on the A5 Zoom. The SMM cards go as high as 16K now. Besides, I can use the CF in my palmtop (works). So the technology has more than one use. I thought about that point WRT the camera. And sure enough! My presnetation are using Power Point (strange to say, but it is a good product, and it is sold by Microsoft. They _did_ buy it from someone else!:) ...) I use JASC Paint Shop Pro. I can capture entire screens, save them as JPEGs and load them onto the camera. With video cable I can now connect the camera to the TV, and use it as my presentation device. Well, it will be my backup to the notebook. So there, a second usage for all that technology! :) ... I have use the Canon for several days now, and I like it. It take a bit of getting used to the buttons and locations, but it is ultimately simple, reasonable and easy to learn. But I must add two comments: 1. The Nikon and Olympus are still targets of drooling for me! :) - very fine machines. 2. I was disappointed and confused with the Kodak line. They are all clumsy looking things, large and clunky. The plastic sounds hollow, like they extruded the walls to save money on the injection molded plastic. And they have so many items it is confusing and unwieldy to choose. I gave up. I want to thank you all who offered advice and opinion and from your knowledge. When I went to the stores to look I was looking for specific things, for things you all mentioned, I compared items you all mentioned. The thread was incredibly useful to me in making the choice. I _KNEW_ things! And I would not have known the stuff without reading them in your posts. So my thanks to you all who helped. My trip will take me to several places in the next two months, and I will post some stuff on the Web and let you know here where to look for it... Thank you again! Avi M.

The way to do this is with multiple wattcp.cfg files, and to use LXPOP to download, Then use the offline function of ccLXPOP to index them. Let me illustrate. Say email1.cfg details the first email account you want to check, and email2.cfg details the second. Further, assume you want to put the first account into the third folder in your list and the second account into the fourth folder. Finally, assume all of your files are in a common directory, called email. Your BAT file would look like this - comments follow *** and should not be in the BAT file: cd email epppd copy email1.cfg wattco.cfg ***setup for first account lxpop ***get mail into incoming.mai cclxpop offline=c:\email\incoming.mai offlinefolder=3 copy incoming.mai retain.mai ***keep if you like to ensure it is indexed properly copy email2.cfg wattcp.cfg ***setup for second account del incoming.mai ***otherwise it just keeps growing! lxpop cclxpop offline=c:\email\incoming.mai offlinefolder=4 Perhaps a better way would be to have a seperate directory for each account, That is the way I would do it. I think I discuss this in the documentation for version 1.04. Configure as you wish. This does only part of what you wish - it routes the email from a particular account to a particular folder.

I have had my double speed 200LX since Jan 14th, 1995 when I installed it myself at a NJ/NY Area HP Palmtop User group meeting in a member's apartment in Manhattan. I was given the crystal and the instructions (in Japanese, but it had many color pictures) as a gift from a member of the Japanese user group that pioneered the technique in Japan in 1994. I have not had any trouble with the double speed or any incompatabilities that were a problem. I highly recommend the double speed upgrade.

As best I know, Win Modems are cheap. The reason: much of the function has been taken out and put into software which runs on the deaktop where the winmodem is plugged. So it loads up your cpu on the desktop rather than have chips in the modem, so that is why these are so much cheaper. It is not likely that the Win modem will run on anyapplication on the palmtop. It has nothing to do with the apps but with the fact that you are missing the software that provides the functions for this modem. This software is Windows-specific. So it is cheap, but uselss on the palmtop. Avi M.

I don't know why Nokia did that crippling to those otherwise great phones.

I ran LXCIC/S to see the manufacturer tuple. The output for both cards is identical: LXCIC v1.4 (c) 99 Stefan Peichl, Heidelberg =2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D= =2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D=2D SunDiskloaded resident Card Power down I was surprised to see, that SanDisk uses as manufacturer it's original name SunDisk! It is also nice to know, that the cards power down by themselves. These cards have no delay at all after power on. That is, if you are sitting on A:> and start a program by typing in it's name, the program starts immediately, no matter if you just turned the unit off and on again. However, if you use a program like FILER, LIST or DIR which displays the directory *AND* tells you the remaining bytes left on drive A:, then and *ONLY* then, you have a delay after power on, which is 2 seconds for both cards on a double speed LX. NOTE: This only happens once after every power on, if you run one of those programs. But if you use for example HDM to start a program stored on A:, you have no such delay after power on. I tend to say, this is not a card's delay but a program's delay while calculating the free amount based on allocation units. On a double speed LX, you can roughly estimate one second delay per 10,000 allocation units. Because the total number of allocation units is restricted to 65.535, the maximal delay should be 6 seconds, no matter, who large the card is. The 96mb came formatted with 23.424 allocation units (4KB each) The 48mb came formatted with 23.393 allocation units (2KB each) The cards are also extremely fast. I usually use Mack's EMM for SC on my 64mb C: drive. A full (600kb) work area switch takes 1 second using EMM. Just for fun I installed a large CAROUSEL.TMP file on the CF and configured SC to use it. I was very surprised to see the same work area switch lasting only 3 seconds. On my old 10mb Sundisk card, it took 30 seconds! That means, the new cards not only have higher capacity, but also 10x more speed than cards manufactured in 1993, and are almost as fast as RAM. All this may only be true for SanDisk, because I have no CF card of other manufacturers available.

IBM announced today it has started shipping the IBM 340 megabyte (MB) microdrive, the world s smallest hard disk drive, to its initial key customers. The manufacturer s suggested retail price of the microdrive kit, including a 340 MB microdrive, PC Card adapter and field case, is $499 (U.S.). IBM microdrives will be available in Japan and the U.S. in retail stores by early summer. The microdrive has a disk platter the size of a large coin and weighs less than a AA battery. IBM microdrive uses high-performance, time-proven hard disk drive technology to store information. The drive has a much lower cost-per-megabyte and holds more content than alternate small-format storage technologies. IBM microdrive fits into the industry-standard CF+ Type II slot that has become increasingly popular in the digital, hand-held devices markets. Microdrive also can be used in a PC Card Type II slot, using a PC Card adaptor.

The only blurring in question takes place when the driver is not loaded. Some (including mine) are reasonably usable in the absence of the driver. Others are said to be much worse. Mack provides a short debug script which will fix those, while the driver is being set up. (That is, while you re-write autoexec.bat and config.sys, if you don't have good copies, or download the driver, if need be.) Once the driver is loaded, the display is better than stock. There was a time when my only flash card was compressed with Stacker. In those days, I had a real problem if I somehow needed a hard reset, with erasure of the C: drive. (It only happened once. I promptly got an unstacked card.) I did have cpack and the needed files on my portable, so I got there. Stacker was actually more trouble than the double speed driver. Cordially, Lynn M.

My girlfriend's laptop also doesn't have the possibility to use HPSIR, so I tried to communicate to my 200LX with - I think - IrDA, and it worked! So simply try it out - Probably this IrDA setting was similar to your IrDA 1.0. IrDA 1.1 is AFAIK for faster connections, and the HP isn't able to use more than 115200 bps. So IrDA 1.1 shouldn't work at all. It may be that I don't remember right and the working connection wasn't the IrDA but the ASK. But as I said: _one_ of them worked (with Transfile 200 and filer)!

The RAM test would stop at different places at different times and show messages like: "RAM2 Bad", "RAM3 Bad" or even "1 MB OK". What it is telling me that the first MB seems to be OK but the second MB has intermittent problems, and sometimes the machine is unable to even recognise the existence of the second MB. Could this be the reason for my nagging data corruption problems? At various stages I thought I had finally identified the 'rogue' program that corrupted the data immediately upon running, but could it be only a manifestation of the RAM problem? An immediate outcome of getting this error was that I ordered a new DoubleSpeed unit loaded with mega RAMs from Thaddeus.

Actually, I can get the program to run, I just can't get the HP back to the topcard display after it runs. My AB description is: |C:\TOPCARDS\TOPCARD.COM and I place the upside-down question mark in the LOCATION field. Unfortunately, this method causes the HP to lock up requiring a CTRL|ALT|DEL to get it going again.

It becomes a resource that's shared by not only SC, but also by other programs that use EMM (such as PKZIP). Also there may be an increase in speed with EMM since the overhead of file handling is avoided using the direct addressing software in EMM's disk access. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 09:26:54 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Larry Soo Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Larry Soo Subject: Got it, thanks (was: Need CPACK) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thanks very much for everyone's help. ...larry soo ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 21:59:37 -0700 Reply-To: patrickwest@uswest.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: Microdrives Comments: To: Franklin Eekhout MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Really?

Has anyone > found a good and cheap way to do this? Yes: If you only want to handle flash cards with it (no modems, network cards or other stuff) there is a very cheap and reliable solution: I bought a compact flash card reader/writer which is connected to the parallel port of the PC. costs about 150 DM (~= 85 US$). There is also a device which handles ATA flash cards and also versions of both devices for the USB port. Mine is 'made' by HAMA (it's not really made by HAMA, HAMA is only written on the unit (it's a seller, I think). Tomorrow I'll look for a chipset number or something other which could identify this device, and I'll post it to you (to the list). GTX daniel P.S.: I just found the manual: Also in the maunal there is no manufacturer, but the device is called 'MDCFE'. There is another one without a eject button for the CF: 'MDCF'. This one for ATA flash cards and hard disks is called 'MDI-H'. Maybe you can find it by a search in the web. All for the parallel port. I don't know how the USB devices are called. My device even works in series with a printer _AND_ a parallel port ZIP drive (I cannot work with both drives at the same time, but I don't have to unplug one to use the other, and the drivers also don't interfere with each other)!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Hertrich Germany email: d.hertrich@gmx.de ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 23:15:48 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Microdrives In-Reply-To: <376DC6B9.51F3F51D@uswest.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sun, 20 Jun 1999, Patrick West wrote: > Really?

If it is set up to support POP3, you can use any of the email programs that work on the palmtop. If it is configured to use the proprietary MAPI protocol only, you are forced to use Windows software to access it. You might want to ask those in charge of the server.

STOP! AFAIK these drives draw _way_ too much current (abt. 500 mA?). If one uses such a drive in the LX, the PCMCIA port will not survive, I think! It only supports devices up to 150 mA.

Pleae don't try it - it will >probably burn up your PCMCIA driver chip! I don't see why not. If the power handling could be modified it should work. The power is probably just over two or a few pins. Most of the pins just handle signal. If one could lift a leg or two on the pcmcia controller and solder hokus-pokus it should work. Basically a boosting transistor switch. It surprises me that this has not been tried before. After all we have a lot of NIC, modem and SCSI cards that draw too much power. Why cannot one patch the power controller? My HP digital camera draws spikes of over 1 A from AAs! It could work normal when one hasn't an external power supply; boosted when connected to the mains or whatever. This would require intimate knowledge of the hardware and I suppose this calls on Mack. :-) But the Japanese users haven't done this either, it seems, so maybe it's a pipe dream? br Franklin ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 10:31:35 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Franklin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Franklin Subject: Re: Microdrives Comments: To: patrickwest@uswest.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Really?

Actually even if it does work you may choose to admit to using their POP interface or not. Remember with POP3 you only see the inbox, and you need to think a bit about whether you keep mail on the server when read, or pull it onto the LX (and remove it from the server). The recent versions of Exchange have an IMAP interface too (but only if your support staff enable it); that can work with fancier mailers and supports the other folders.

The palmtop reads the data (on the smart-media in the camera) like data on an inserted PCMCIA flash memory card as drive a:. Transfer as rapid as copying any file from a flashcard to drive c: (i.e. instantaneous without any hardware or software bottleneck). Whether you could use the camera to transfer files from inserted smartmedia in an other format than its own .jpg I'm not sure (will redirect this therefore to the list again). Probably Bill Childers could help who referred me to his review of the camera (http://www.hplx.net/reviews.pdr2.html.) which I only can recommend. I should have read it earlier because I was not aware of the less light-sensitive technology (although so far inhouse shots have produced good pictures for palmtop display), the part describing power-problems however seems to reflect an earlier version since my palmtop can read all data on the smart-media flawlessly even with the camera switched off (which tells me that whatever files are on the smartmedia should be directly readable by the palmtop - but my common sense approach fails from time to time when it comes to computing).

You may try this, (extract of maunaul.txt) -r Recurse subdirectories -rp Recurse subdirectories (preserve the path structure below) -rP Recurse subdirectories (preserve path structure specified and below) -r- Turn off recursion (used to override configuration file) When this option is specified, PKZIP will search the source directory for subdirectories. If any subdirectories are found, PKZIP searches them for files. If a further level of subdirectories is found in a subdirectory, PKZIP will search these as well. PKZIP will enter as many subdirectory levels as exist. pkzip mail.zip -r c:\mymail\*.* Using the above command, all files contained within the "mymail" subdirectory, as well as all files within any subdirectories, would be archived. Only the file names would be retained, and not the names of the subdirectories. pkzip mail2.zip -rp c:\mymail\*.* The second example would preserve the same files as the first, but also keep the names of any subdirectories found below the "mymail" subdirectory. Note that the "mymail" subdirectory itself would not be retained since the -P is not being used. pkzip pay_june.zip -rP d:\payroll\*.* =0CThe third example will compress all of the files in the payroll directory, as well as all of the files in any subdirectories. The -rp would cause the subdirectories to be recursed and stored. The -P will cause "\payroll" to be stored as well. Without the -P, the "\payroll" portion of the path would not be stored. This option may be made the default, see PKZIP Configuration. ** Please note that paths are not stored when the -r option is specified without the p or P option. In order for paths to be stored, the -r option must be accompanied by the -p or -P option. ________________________________________________________________ Regards Helmuth ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 09:30:23 +0000 Reply-To: melancon@microgear.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Melancon Subject: Re: PKZIP for backup In-Reply-To: <199906211335.IAA20442x@scott.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I looked at the docs and here's what it says to do.

In regards to the pkzip (backup): Guenther and others have already noted the -rp swtich to recurse subdirectories and store the full pathnames in the zip file.

The -xtremm.swp excludes the EMM swapfile from the backup (where tremm.swp is the filename).

Hi Tony- If the program expects to find support or config files in the same directory as the executable, it'll fail, unless the .xfe or .xfm provides for change of working directory. You can do this with a batch file e.g. @echo off a: cd \forth hp-pygmy.com Set the .xfe to launch the batch file. Or use multiple commands (separated by semicolons) in the .xfe e.g. a:;cd\forth;hp-pygmy The third way is to create a symbolic link (.xff) file. In Finder's file browser, go to the directory with your executable. Hit İSpace¨ to mark it, then go to either the /Palmtop screen or the palmtop directory. Hit İCtrl¨İ-¨ to create the link. If you have Buddy active, you'll have to hit İCtrl¨İ-¨ twice. How are you trying to use LXPic? The .env file (in the "Execution by matched file extension" section) should have a line something like: .pcx .bmp .jpg .gif ,f ,lxpic %c This assumes that lxpic is in your path. Selecting a graphic in the file browser, and hitting İEnter¨ will display it with lxpic. To use your icons, just use XF to copy them to your icon.lzh file. They MUST be in uncompressed format, but XF does it automatically. The easiest way is to go to your icon directory (or archive) and mark the icon(s) you want to use, then hit İShift¨İEnter¨ to automagically add 'em to icon.lzh (using İCtrl¨İEnter¨ does the same for iconfld.lzh). You may need to rename the icon in icon.lzh to match the .xf? file used to launch the app. Then hit F1 (Init) to reinitialize XF and enable display of the new icons.

It's a nice small, fast EXM text/hex viewer. Works very well with XF, and can be used as the primary file viewer. Instructions are included. I already have LIST as my primary viewer, so installed QuickView as an alternate in the key definition section of finder.env. It'll do word-wrap, which is sometimes needed with some docs. The line is: =3Dv ,u ,$c %p%c; $m {x7b00}{Paste} (This replaces the lines for V. Selecting a file in the XF file manager and pressing İShift¨İv¨ opens the file in QuickView. Nice program.

Thanks Alan! Fantastic Program! I have wanted a good viewer .exm for some time now...this is a great implementation. There are, however a few limitations that are not in the DOCS: When using the file picker, there is a - Limit of directories: 50 - Limit of files 127 Listed in the docs is the page limit of 128. I contacted Alan, and he said the limits he used were to keep the program small. I have requested a version with higher limits for those of us with memory to burn. I have also encouraged his addition of a search routine(as mentioned I the Docs). I have also requested a "cut-to-clipboard", but he said that may not happen for a while(if at all...of course if others were to also encourage...;-) ) Kudos (Or Kudus if you prefer ;-) ) to Alan!

I wonder if someone might help me with a little problem. In trying to download my email to my desktop, then read it on my palmtop, I have been experimenting with a shareware program called Wingate. It converts your windows desktop into a server, which then can be accesed by other computers as clients. The problem I am finding is that the program requires for the client to run email software which supports a proxy server and connections to port 110 (rather than ports 1 through 4). The only palmtop program I found which claims to work with a Network is Nettamer, but I could not get it working with Wingate, so now I am trying Pegasus mail (recommended in the documentation, but I think they are refering to a Windows program, since I have not yet found the settings they mention in the dos version). If someone has tried this already, please keep me from banging my head against a wall! :-( TIA Domingo P.S. By the way, Wingate is freeware if used with one server and one client only. If this can be made to work, it would help many besides myself. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 21:54:30 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Variable speed LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Dreaming about a speed variable LX... How about if the LX had a 2X crystal but the clock was, by default, routed through a divide by 2 gate. This would let the LX boot up at normal speed (useful for running diags and when losing the necessary drivers). When the driver is run it would cause the divide by 2 gate to be bypassed letting the LX run at full speed. This control of the basic clock would also allow a way to truly slow down the LX instead of just wasting extra cycles during a timer interrupt. While I'm day dreaming I'd like to win the lottery too! cheers...

As long as you keep backup copies of the CONFIG.SYS and the driver on your C: drive and all of your flashcards, you can easily restore what you need to make things right again. Even when the screen is goofy, the palmtop still works fine and you can fire up 200 and then Filer to move the backups to the proper place and reboot.

There are 2 different SCs, 1 for normal DOS pcs and 1 for the LX. If you got the LX version then v4 sounds pretty old. If its the pc version it won't have all the special functions to work with the LX.

About a year ago I upgraded to Thaddeus' double-speed 200LX with 16mb and have been really happy with it. I mention this only because it may have a bearing on the problem. Here we go: My appointments file is about 130k; way too big. So I started to process a File|Remove, saving the stuff to an archive file. Remove would start to do its thing then after a few moments stopped, giving me a "Record Not Found". (If I foolishly persist and try the same thing again I get a "Out of memory error" or worse - lock up hard (Ctrl-Shift-On)). Garlic doesn't help at all. And today when scrolling from date to date I got a divide overflow with the predictible results. As I run the connectivity pack, I've copied the file to the PC and tried Remove (a 586 with 32mb) with the same result. I've even tried Extract. No luck, same result, right down to the error message. My real smart friend who knows technical stuff says this is looking like hex-editor time. I don't know hex from heck so I'm hoping, praying even, that somewhere out there some kind person knows what may work. (BTW I encounter the "Record not found" message if I scroll to 8/22/98, either approaching it from before or after.)

Although the full DOS version takes almost 5 MB, a minimum configuration takes less than 1 MB (of course, those rich, single folks who have 32 MB or 64 MB upgraded palmtops can probably use the full program). Description: http://www.symantec.com/region/uk/product/nc/index.html It is not available for purchase here in the U.S., but it can be downloaded from the following site: http://rigel.symantec.com/cgi-bin/esd1.pl?type=electronic&segment=list&subsi te=uk&URL=Desktop You can try to order it by phone, but I would not recommend it (international calls are too expensive). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 01:31:59 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Apparently I never had to do a *hard* reset before getting my speed upgrade and so was never aware of the question. Ultimately when I was finally forced to do a *hard* reset AFTER the speed upgrade, I couldn't read the screen and had no idea why the scrolling stopped so I hit ENTER (or RETURN, whatever). Fortunately, the question must default to NO since I've never accidently initialized my C: drive in all the times I've done it. I don't mean to imply in any way that the speed upgrade caused the lock-ups. It was usually just pure stupidity on my part.

The DOS long file name feature seems to work only in a Win DOS This is usually the case, as the long-name functions are provided by the Win95 shell bolted onto DOS. IIRC, Caldera's DR-DOS (or whatever it is called this week :-) has this functionality built-in, in plain DOS. Also, I know of atleast one attempt (no longer being worked on) to implement it as a standard TSR. > box.

I gave up on NC when they reached V5.0 for DOS. It was just too big, and they switched to a weird way of passing arguments/files to the different viewers (well, perhaps not so weird, but it wasn't compatible with previous versions). I still use NC40 whenver I'm in DOS on my desktop PC. Under Windows, I use the cleverly named NC clone Windows Commander (www.ghisler.com). It is not a very estaetically pleasing program, but it can do pratically everything including FTP transfers (UNIX and Midnight Commander freaks will nod in recognition here ;-). There is also another NC clone for Windows called the FAR Manager (from the same guy who wrote the RAR archiver). It is also pretty good, and console based, and thusly looks more like the old NC for DOS. On the palmtop I use Volkov Commander (on SUPER), it only takes up 150kb or so and has all the usual features (except archive support).

Hello All, I had the luck to try the 200LX over the weekend. Thanks to Skiboy. Also, I read some back issues of the Palmtop Paper. Few ideas and problems: I find it inconvenient, that PgUp/PgDn only works as . It would be easier if any of , and + arrows could act as PgDn/PgUp. Is it possible with TSR? The rod connecting two halves of the shell (LCD part, CPU+kbd part) together, is empty on the inside: seems to be the right size and diameter to house 3pcs size AAA batteries, which could be used to- wards backlight supply at 3,6V/270mAh. Have you looked into such a modification? It would make the unit heavier and probably make the LX overturn/capsize when sitting on tabletop, but could be fixed by pulling out the bottom battery tray cover, just like on the 700LX. How would cutting open this rod affect the overall rigidity of the palmtop shell? I also hope it is waterproof up to 30 metres (BTW, it's raining here nonstop for 3 weeks now, so its not theoretical!) In the 1995, volume 4, Bonus issue 1 of the Palmtop Paper, there is an ad on page 38. It shows an industialized enclosure for the HPLX, sold by Corvallis. Have you used such a case, what's your opinion? Is it still available? Does it broaden the temperature range, where 200LX can be used (below 0oC/32oF, beyond 50oC/122oF)? Do you think that yet another calculator program, that can display sideways, thus allows using the LX as a virtual paper roll printing programmable calculator (like the HP97)? IMO that would be valuable.

Hi again, Tony- Hmmm - if you followed my posted instructions, I must not have described the procedure clearly... 8-) Could you send (either to the list ot to me) a description of what procedure you followed. If you have an app - call it "myapp.exe" and use "myapp.xfe" to launch it, then add myapp.icn to your icn.lzh file, then hit F1, you should find the icon on the /Palmtop screen. The label will say "myapp.xfe" until you assign a long name alias. I don't understand where you're getting an icon file with the extension .xfe Finder doesn't create .xfe files on its own - these must be created manually. Did you add the icon to icon.lzh, or to the palmtop directory? Anyway, if you describe the procedure, we'll work from there...

I posted the combination you're showing below, but another poster (Helmuth) used something of the same pkzip command but with an added "-es" switch: pkzip -es -rp -whs -Jhrs -xtremm.swp a:\backup\cdrive.zip c:\*.* This specifies "Superfast" compression, which I tried on my 2x/6mb system. The amount of data being backed up was 2.76mb and the resulting archive was 1.32mb which took about 2 minutes. Without the "-es" switch, the same backup resulted in a 1.29mb file and took 3 minutes... so the addition of the -es switch improved the speed by 33% with only a slight increase in archive size. YMMV, depending on the nature of the data being backed up. I usually run my backups automatically, just after midnight so speed is usually not a consideration... but those of you who need to run this backup manually may find the added -es switch useful in cutting down the time.

OK - this probably IS confusing 8-) Let's try again... Go to icon.lzh - highlight the icon - hit the Rename F-Key - give the icon the same FILENAME as the .xf? used to launch the app. Keep the .icn extension. For example: You have a program called game1.exe - you create game1.xfe to launch it - rename the icon to game1.icn. After adding icons, be sure to hit F1 (Init). > Hint: Be sure to check out the next issue of PTP 8-) HTH -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 11:21:11 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: Adding Apps and Icons in Finder Comments: To: Alan Krempler MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tue, 22 Jun 1999 11:11:02 -0400 (EDT) 42m37s ago ...

After playing around with this program for a while I can see it's potential, but can't make it work for me. If you have some control files sitting around that would be useful to palmtop users, could you share them? I have a member list for a group I belong to in 1-2-3. The columns are roughly NAME, STREET ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP, TELEPHONE, CLASS CODE, DATE JOINED... I want to export to fixed length fields, using different fields for different purposes.

I had no luck with the connectivity pack after I upgraded to Win98 the first time. In this case I had reformatted the hard drive and installed DOS, then Win3.11, then Win98. When I installed my old software, some worked fine, and some didn't. The second time I reformatted, then installed DOS, then Win3.11, then the old software, then Win98. In this case, just about everything worked as expected. The major exception was Laplink. I get an error message something like -- can't find LLRA --. But the file transfer, database, and phone work fine. I haven't tried to sync Pocket Quicken.

I lost all my control files when I left my last job, but I don't believe that they would help you much. In reading over the doc for CONV803, it appears that the program will output to WKS, but does not accept WKS as input. Sorry... I think I had used it mostly for DBF and CSV type file conversions and knew it supported WKS, but didn't know until just know, after reading the doc, that the WKS support is only in one direction. You may be able to output the data from 123 as fixed fields using /PrintFile, in which case, a series of 123 macros may better suffice to extract the information. But if your intent is to be able to run the conversion from the DOS commandline, at least with CONV803, you'd have to run 123 first to output the spreadsheet as a printfile where CONV803 may then be used for field editing and exclusion (FIXED format to FIXED format conversion)....don't know if this is what you want tho...seems klunky. - Longden Kat Deutscher on 06/22/99 11:01:14 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Kat Deutscher To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: Reformat Utility Sought Longden Loo wrote: > Look for CONVR803.ZIP on the Simtel site > (http://www.simtel.net/simcgi-bin/dosfind.cgi?convr803) > After playing around with this program for a while I can see it's potential, but can't make it work for me.

Try for example the URL: http://www.palmtop.net/lxmap.html Indexing hangs and only 3-finger salut gets back the palmtop to life. There are also strange hex numbers in the htm document, just outside of the HTML tags, displayed monospaced in HV. In other situations, the new WWW.EXE just says HV_001.MIME in the header line of HV and the screen remains blanc. All this did not happen with the previous release of WWW.EXE, and hence cannot be HV related. Unfortunately I have to step back two releases, because the last release had at least for me the PalMemFail bug. Maybe, I am the last one using HV on the Palmtop. But please, D&A, don't follow a politic like: Because HV is discontinued, our new products will no longer work reliable with HV.

You can't really do that with Application Manager. You can, however, with XFinder or SMMX. I use SMMX and have a "DB" icon on the main menu.

I use it to back up my PC to big zip files which I then store on CD-R's. =46irst, you can create a list of the files you need to have backed up, and store it in a text file (eg, backup.lst). Then tell PKZIP to back up according to that list: pkzip -a -P zipfile @backup.lst Second, you can use DOS's archive bit to flag which files should get backed up, and have a technique to do Full, Differential, and Incremental backups like the Norton backup product used to do. =46or a full backup, use the "-a+" switch to turn off the archive bit after it's backed up: pkzip -a+ -P zipfile @backup.lst =46or an incremental backup, which will zip all the files that have changed since the last backup: pkzip -i -P zipfile @backup.lst =46or a differential backup, which will zip all the files that have changed since the last full backup: pkzip -i- -P zipfile @backup.lst If you use an incremental strategy, you need to have the full backup plus each incremental backup you've done. The advantage is that you have all those intermediate versions of zip files. If you use a differential strategy, you just need the last full backup and the last differential backup, but the size of the differential backups is larger than incremental. Another trick I use for the PC is that I got WinZip's command-line zipper, which can handle long file names. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 21:03:03 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Don E.

Be sure you are looking at the 1414LXM with memory, and the driver for "DOS 5 or lower." -Geo. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 22:46:00 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Cavendishl@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Lynn M.

Er, is anyone really that surprised? This day has been coming for about two years. But to me, it comes as a note of freedom. Released from the shackles of active service, the 200LX will be even more free to evolve on its own away from its parent company. People now know that there will never be a factory-supplied backlight, or more internal RAM, or a motherboard upgrade. Therefore, we can sink the money in ourselves. This freedom also means responsibility. If you want to continue enjoying your palmtops as long as possible, it will mean money. I suggest the founding of a Project Magic-like fund that will keep R&D going in companies like Thaddeus and Times2 Tech. Things like 486 motherboard upgrades and backlights are ready for the final stages of development but are limited by money. Why not donate to the cause? It has the potential to help all of us. We must also work together on software. I have started the sys|x project (details on news.hplx.net) which will provide a common software base outside System Manager, which will provide the programming freedom required to produce programs for large-scale word processing and Internet connectivity. Sys|x will, if completed, eliminate the System Manager and obsolete PAL, making things faster and more efficient in the process. We need open source, free software to make this happen. Most of all, we need to pull together. HPLX-L, it seems to me, is a very loosely knit bunch of people. We need distinct areas of expertise to immortalize this palmtop. Programmers must unite and write sys|x and its support applications. Hardware vendors must come up with the funds to complete their upgrade projects. And users must be willing to realize the delicate position the palmtop maintains as a result of the hardware and software. Unite! Programmers specifically should come to news.hplx.net's group "hp200.programmers.asg" for details on the sys|x project. We need all the help we can get - and we no longer have any reason to wait. ian Butler / ian@hplx.net http://peace.hplx.net/ adapt | enjoy | survive | wonder ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 14:59:21 +1200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lodger@NZ1.IBM.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Roger Whitmarsh Subject: Re: FW: 200LX Comments: To: Jon Barrett Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >>This is a notification that as of November 1, 1999 the 200LX >>series palmtop will be discontinued. etc etc I guess there is little chance our tiny user group can influence HP, driven as they clearly are by M$, so we have to assume that they will do as they say they will.

Fortunately most of my business is based on upgrading used palmtops as a lot of folks wait until after the warranty period expires. I will be around as long as I maintain a certain level of business which is to be determined. I expect to be around at least 3-5 years after they stop making them.

Andreas and I posted very specifically why we do not intend to release HV. It is purely business reasons. Sorry you do not like it. But it does not change the facts. Let me reiterate: In HV code is embedded the API to WWW.EXE. This is a business asset of D&A. We do not intend to release it publicly, not any more than you would willingly put your credit card number and expiration date in a public newsgroup! (And for the same reasons, BTW...) I explained about pulling the API code out of the source - we cannot be assured it will all come out, and it will without a doubt leave HV a buggy source. That of course will not sit well with the community, because we released buggy, non-functional code. > I understand, but regret, that HV is discontinued, but I wish I still could > use it as it is, whithout having to reboot several times a day. I think you do NOT understand. HV is not discontinued. HV is not being worked on at this time because the platform makes it impossible for us. The great majority of customers told us again and again: SPEND THE 0resources ON SOMETHING USEFUL!!! People want better email, not doodads, googaws, gimicks. People want us to spend the resources on making sure WWW.EXE connects right, not on painting another black and white image on the screen. 95% of the people I spoke with do not use the palmtop for browsing. They never intended to! They got the product for email, newsgroups, ftp, and telnet - all in a tiny box they can put in their pockets. Web browsing was never a factor in their purchase decision. No, you are not the last one using HV to browse. I do too. Thank you. Avi M.

I thought it's main focus was web browsing, and thought to myself this is a stupid idea to browse the web with a mono CGA HP. The majority of web pages are now very dynamic with java, shockwave, VRML etc, there are a few sites developing out there for the PalmPC, however these will rely heavily on colour. There is not a snowballs chance in hell of Andreas coding a web page viewer for the humble HP that can keep up with AOL and Microsoft (no matter how good he is). So please support the remaining software suppliers for the 200LX. With the forcoming end to the HP200 manufacture / support, our toys will be useless in 2-3 years even if they are the best handheld PC created ( so far 8-) ). >People want better email, not doodads, googaws, gimicks.

Comments: To: A Meshar MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Avi, I didn't want you to release the HV source code. All I wish is, I could use HV - as it is - with every new release of WWW.EXE, because I also want to upgrade to new WWW, POST, NEWS, FTP ... HV is for me even more important than POST, because there are no alternatives. D&A has the monopoly for web browsing on the palmtop. There is no competitor visible at the horizon. Day by day, more and more valuable information is only available through the www and hence web browsing. I'm not talking of rainbow press sites, but stock information, hotel reservation, online buy, auctions ... It is hard for me to understand, why D&A decided to put it's force into a market segment (email, news, network) where it has to compete with freeware/shareware products, instead of comfortably laying back on their monopoly, coming up with a browser product and leaving behind the HV freeware. I'm willing to pay another $80 for a web browser which continues to work with the *BASIC* new html stuff, not the fancy glitter. Every time I have to start my desktop for web browsing, I have to keep the windows closed, because otherwise I'm tempted to through it out of the window: 1 minute to boot, 1 minute to click through windows, 2 minutes until IE connects and starts, and x minutes until something is visible on the screen. Even if I use the same ISP on a 486 at 56kBaud, HV+WWW is faster on the palmtop at 14kBaud in displaying web pages. WWW+HV must have a built in "right of way" on the internet. That's my only explanation why it is so fast and I would love to be able to use it in the years to come.

My preference would be to use the newer 16 MB SmartMedia cards. I have tried a few PCMCIA adapters. The Olympus and Fuji adapters reported "drive not ready". A Ricoh adapter (apparently limited to 8 MB cards) read and wrote OK. I haven't been able to find other cards available at dealers, which I can try out. I am reluctant to mail order until I know for sure what works! Does anyone in the group know of specific Smart Media adapters which work with the HP200? Are there any other factors to consider? The specs I have found on most adapters (Microtech, Viking, Kingston plus the above to name a few) look to me generally all right for the HP200. But maybe there are other aspects I am not aware of.

It has some copyright information, and symbols saying that the HP200LX is CE-approved (before you all foam at the mouth, that's the European Community....), but nothing like a serial number. Still on the underside, close to PCMCIA ejector, is a different colour panel, which I assume is the one that can be engraved with your name, but it's blank too. Have I got some strange black-market, no-questions-asked machine? Or has it been stolen and wiped of its former identity? FWIW, my HP200 is a Korean machine with some fancy script on the keyboard - maybe some poor soul in Seoul (sorry...) is filing an insurance claim as I write. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 08:59:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hobchi@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Yor Pal Al Subject: Re: Database David I want to copy to/from a file to this type of DB not just to add to records individually.

Of Course I do not use WWW/LX/HV as my primary WEB browser, but I find it invaluable to be able to grab something quickly, or look something up. Plus what ever info I get, is instantly available "in my pocket". The TELNET & FTP utilities are great (especially the newest TELNET revision), POST/LX is my primary EMail client, but I use HV to pick something off the WEB at least every other day, if not every day. At the time, HV was my reason for purchasing WWW/LX ;-) While I do admit to rebooting my LX occassionally, It is with far more frequency that I boot my W95 desktop...and it takes 5x longer (no exaggeration) to get back to work!

PCMCIA adapter for smart media that works in the HP200. Also works with my 16MB SM card; at least my quick test lets me read and write files. I have the 3.3 volt version, and 3.3 vol.

Reporting yourself as supporting HTTP/1.1 involves also handling a gob of other junk, like chunked encoding. Keep reporting yourself as supporting HTTP/1.0 but include the Host: header and everything should be ok. I was looking at supporting the full HTTP/1.1 in a utility I wrote (my daytime job), but it was going to be alot of work and I mainly needed the virtual hosts stuff to work. I'll bet that what people are reporting as hex characters on the screen is an artifact of chunked encoding coming back from the server which thinks you are a full HTTP/1.1 compliant browser. It works perfectly well to claim you are an HTTP/1.0 browser even though you have a Host: header, and you don't have to support all the extra junk in the newer spec. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 15:51:52 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeremy Martinson Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeremy Martinson Subject: Re: Where's my serial number?

You MAY be able to get the card working in the palmtop again by putting it back in and running the command FDISK 100 from the DOS prompt. Then try reformatting it. It's very unfortunate that the self-test screen doesn't have any warning about not running the card test on anything except SRAM.

Why didn't you tell that before we released the new version of WWW.EXE? :-) All of your analysis is 100% correct, including the hex characters. I came to the same conclusions and replaced 1.1 by 1.0.

Long.. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello All, The recent breaking news about H-P announcing discontinuation of the HP200LX are certainly disappointing. All of us have witnessed official HP statements, which said that 200LX will remain in manufacture beyond 2000. I think these were binding. However, pursuing legal procedures to force HP carry on the DOS palmtop are the last resort. I'd rather prefer xxxxxx to to hiring solicitors. Look at what we can do for good. An organization should carry the task of notifying each and every person who is or had been professonally related to LX. Starting with the 100/200LX creator team, who likely have specific rights and could probably influence HP's behaviour! An independent survey into the legal situation regarding hard- ware, firmware, ROM-based software, Application Software and logo/goodwill rights ownership regarding the HP DOS palmtop line is mandatory. Completing this tedious job, we could see who has influence of the device's future and whom to approach when lobbying for the device's future. Mr. Jorgen Wallgren (and other HP employees) should try to investigate, if soon-to-separate HP Measurement and Medical Systems Company (also in charge of Business and Scientific Calculators production) would be interested in taking over the Singapore plant or at least its machinery and continue production (and maybe even development) of the non-WinCE palm- top line, to integrate them into their product offering. I have previously written about the similarity of technology and origin of high-end HP calcs and the palmtop. IMO, the benefits for (yet unnamed) HP Medical & Measurement should be easy to demonstrate. Such an inside company transfer of pro- duct manufacturing could be undertaken in a short period of time and be largely transparent to end users, a major concern. Of course, news/developments of this thread will be company secrets for a while; but I think Mr. Wallgreen should be able to respond to this list, stating his personal opinion: whether we users sending request/supportive mails regarding this sub- ject to HP Measurement Co. would be of positive or bad effect. Should both H-Ps prove uninterested in the 200LX line, other companies should be approached. The 1000CX, basically 200LX without any HP/Lotus copyright ROM software, could be manufac- tured by other companies. One candidate should be Tektronix, a prestigious firm with extreme goodwill in Measurement field. Also Tektronix has been manufacturing a whole variety of high end terminals, from X11/Unix to WinCE/Citrix Winframe based. Thus it could be integrated into their offering. (Also there are some cooperative ties between HP and Tek). Other (rather wild) idea is Psion PLC of England. Should they be able to obtain the 1000CX hardware, they could produce a Psion 3mx replacement device, that can run both Epoc16 and DOS for a palmtop that sells equally well in USA, Europe and rest. Psion was constantly criticized for the non-standard expansion card hardware inside their (otherwise 8086 based) Psion 3 line and for the whole butchered Psion S5 line suffering from RISC. 1000CX hardware should solve these problems once and for all. (EPOC16 does have developers' version running PC compatible.) Still more stupid idea is IBM Japan (of PC110 fame). I'm skeptic about small companies taking over LX production or develoment (like replacement MoBo/backlight). However there is a task, very important, no matter what happens: preserving information. Public pressure should be applied on H-P and Lotus to take precautions archiving each and every tape, blueprint, circuit diagram, program listing related to the 200LX develop- ment. Also this movement should aim to force HP release more formerly kept information regarding LX programming, e.g. to allow user-developed complete IrDA solution, deeper access to ROM routines. As already emphasized by others on this list, developing more new programs on the LX, both for productivity and fun is very important. Probably a new open-OS palmtop will come some day, just keep faith. EVERYONE RELASE ALL FREEWARE SOURCE CODE! Efforts to sweep for legacy SW are equally important, can be done by non-coder LXer. I'll do my best with Palmtop Circuit. Promoting the machine and powerful handheld use in general is is of special priority. A more highly organized webring with added new and interesting webpages is surely welcome. I would like to point to the job of getting the japanese LX users more involved in making their achievements available for the rest of the world. I have an idea for a new LX webpage, japanese related somewhat, pretty wild.

I do too. Uh... but what about the people for which it *was* a purchase decision? What about them? Whether or not the horse is dead and HV will remain as it is until the end of time, the question remains: What about those who bought WWW/LX for the web browser and don't care about email (my e-mail is on NetAddress), ftp (I download from the office), telnet (I don't have a shell account) most of the time?. I know I did, and I'm not alone (there's you). The Web site does specify "The Internet Solution in Your Pocket! Web Browser, Email, and Newsgroups on the Palmtop!" So as a user, what I need to know is: will web browsing ever be improved in upcoming versions? From the insider (this lists) point of view, it looks like the answer is a vibrant "no". No hard feelings. I just wish there was an option -- a way out -- for web browsing to be improved. Right now, I only see three possibilities: - HV is rewritten by someone else (or a group) based on the original HV (with your approval and support -- seem unlikely so far, and that's okay) - HV is rewritten from scratch by someone else (or a group) (as long as they know how to hook up with the rest of WWW/LX) - A whole new WWW package is written by someone else, perhaps using LXTCP or another PPP package. Anyway we slice it, it's not easy. The alternative is HP software stagnating and eventually dying because it won't be able to keep up with the internet tech advances.

What we need is a spokes-person who can give the 200LX recognition. First we devise a list of famous people who are fairly technology savvy and who get lots of air time. Pick one.

Al et al., I have been a beta tester for the WWW/LX suite since its inception and other than always having the latest version (replete with bugs) I have no financial interest in D&A. There seems to be an impression that money could in some way buy an improved HV. Having watched Andreas squeeze all that he has out of the program by creating hack on top of hack I understand what he means when he says that he can not afford to improve HV. He means `afford' not in a monetary sense but in a risk of breaking what exists. Ah then start afresh and write a new HV from scratch I hear someone cry - well the problem is that only so much code can go into a given space. The decision to no longer improve HV was not by choice but by necessity due to the limitations of the palmtop itself. I feel for Avi and Andreas in the sense that they could have said "We are working on it" and strung people out but they didn't they publically stated that they had hit a brick wall and there would be no further development.

Even without her radical left-wing stance (really, the only thing about her politically that bugs me is the anti-firearms thing, but it's the only thing that's come to my attention) I can't say that we could ever call this woman technology-savvy. Furthermore, as someone who decrys the horror of firearms, and then goes on to make commercials for the largest commercial retailer of weapons of any kind in the country, (K-Mart) she's a fairly obvious hippocrite. back on topic, though, I hate to be a naysayer, but HP is under no legal obligation to continue manufacturing the 200LX as someone in an earlier post seemed to suggest, and because the technology is (sorry to say this guys; it's flamebait, I know) outmoded by nearly a decade, it is unlikely to get picked up by another firm. I would suggest that a plea be made to HP to possibly release the design specs and information under a liscence not unlike the GPL. it's unlikely, but possible; Apple released parts of OS-X that way, and Netscape's been doing Mozilla for years. This would be fundamentally different, obviously; it's hardware, not software. And it still does not solve the problem of manufacturing.. but it DOES solve the problem of immortality; if the design specs are there for us, even ONE of us can keep them on a floppy somewhere and pass them on, possibly to someone nice with a manufacturing plant. > ---- Jeff Johns W4JEF - Reserve Patrol Captain ---- > --- Jefferson County Sheriff's Department --- > --- Birmingham, Alabama USA --- > --- HP200LX & BayPac..

Comments: To: Jeff Johns MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Jeff, For what it's worth, I agree with you. The first two amendments are perhaps the most important. I'm just not quite as vocal about it . Everyone; As depressing as it may be, I fear that it may be too late to get HP to continue production of the 200lx -- they seem to have made their decision. It seems that in recent years their products have gotten more generic and less unique, more market oriented and less creative. They seem to have given in to pressure from Micro$oft (who else?) and they are now trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the consumer market. I expect that Mssrs. Hewlett and Packard would be *very* disappointed. I also fear that preserving schematics, blueprints, etc., and getting another company to produce the 200lx or 1000cx would also be futile (although the attempt would be honorable). A simple, albeit powerful, DOS-based palmtop just doesn't have the appeal in the computer industry that it used to. Everyone seems to be looking for a new technology that will do everything that the 200lx will, but without the memory limitations of the x86 class chips. IMO, so far, the PalmPilot has come the closest to achieving that ideal. So, what to do? (1) BUY AS MANY AS YOU CAN NOW and store them away, unless someone wants to buy one from you. (2) Support those people and companies who produce for the 200lx. (3) Spread the 200lx 'gospel'. (4) Keep the 'faith'. Well, that's my opinion and my two cents worth. Thanks for listening.

If HV is, as you say, a delicately balanced group of kludges, that is a natural indication of extremely poor internal efficiency. Hence rewriting from scratch in an organized, efficient manner would result in smaller code size and more efficient (and probably faster) operation. The smaller code size will naturally lend itself to the addition of more features, and the rewriting would also make it easier to implement EMS support (in turn, providing even more room for features.) > I feel for Avi and Andreas in the sense that they could have said "We > are working on it" and strung people out but they didn't they > publically stated that they had hit a brick wall and there would be no > further development.

Also, while honesty in business is good, this "brick wall" is artificial. It is the result of, for whatever reason, refusing to realize when a rewrite is needed. When I write programs, my first step is to get a working prototype, however kludged it may be. Once I have that prototype, I sit down and logically map out how the program should be written for best efficiency. Then I scrap the prototype and write the release version. In my view, HV is still a prototype until it is completely rewritten inside and out. ian Butler / ian@hplx.net http://peace.hplx.net/ adapt | enjoy | survive | wonder ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 00:34:53 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Larry N Zimmerman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Larry N Zimmerman Subject: İHERESY¨Re: 200LX discontinued soon I don't think we necessarily need to lose our heads about this. The 200lx is a great device but I think the horizon is brighter than many seem to feel. I will concede that I don't see any off-the-shelf replacement forth-coming. Still there are a lot of interesting things out there. The New York Times ran an article a few months ago about the worlds smallest webserver. It was a 486 the size of a matchbox running Linux. All the components used were ordered off the Internet at very reasonable prices. I stumbled into a Digital (now Compaq) page put up by some in-house hackers who'd made a 486 running Linux fit to a unit the size of a deck of cards. It had a small LCD display, chorded button interface and ran off AAAs. Qualcomm, Motorola, and Nokia keep showing up with very interesting portable computers piggybacking with their phones. It is hard to replace something like the 200lx for practical and (dare I say) sentimental reasons. I figure my unit will last for another three years. I'm also 100% positive that something far and away more amazing will be created in that time. In fact, this just might drive me to order some stuff and kludge something myself; I like the thought of a pager-sized Linux box.

What does 'discontinue' mean? No more _selling_ them or no more _producing_ them? AFAIK HP 'recycles' used models the same way Thaddeus do. So they will be able to sell 200LXs (used, but with new warranty and totally checked and repaired) long after they stopped to produce them. Yesterday I got a new machine, because I complained about 'ROM software failures' (the Germay models all seem to have this failure in appointment book, that, when you add a few appointments everytime the field 'Wiederholung' (=iteration?) becomes a little bit more unreadable (parts of the text disappear... strange!). Additionally, my machine got the 'hinge crack'. My new 200LX has a serial number SG835..., so it seems to be a quite new model, but when I called HP they told me that the machines people get when their old ones are broken are those used, but 'like new' ones.

I've been dealing with HP as a reseller for many years and have learned that they seldom go back on the direction that has been chosen. I'm still selling 200LX machines and I will until I can no longer get them. All things designed and produced by "man" will come to an end. The LX is not as perpetual as the wheel.

(I have been talking with various people at HP about the 200LX and discontinuation for some months.) I don't know for sure but based on my conversation with the HP person and others in Singapore, my best guess is that the final decision about the 200LX has not been made. Originally, when I saw the notes on this forum, about doing something, I didn't give them much possibility. However, I do now think there is a small bit of hope. It isn't Oprah that will give the 200LX credibility, it is large HP customers. Anybody here that represents a large corporate or government entity, should contact there sales rep or go as high as you can within the HP hierachy and express your displeasure. You don't even have to be a big purchaser of 200LX's, just a big HP client. I think whether the 200LX is continued may even go higher than the division that makes 200LX, although that division will make the final decision.

For me, a replacement must do three things, 1) be a real computer capable of running applications and of a design that encourages hacking by creative programmers, 2) be very small, and 3) be frugal with its power consumption. The following links take you to sites where people are working on such devices. My personal favorite (I'd plunk money down today for one of these!) can be found at http://www.research.digital.com/wrl/itsy/talk-iswc98/sld001.htm. This device runs Linux and is smaller than a PalmPilot. Be sure to check out the whole slide show. Try http://wearables.stanford.edu for a discussion of the "World's Smallest Operational Web Server". There is also a page about a PC that measures in at four cubic inches but includes a 486, VGA, ethernet, and a 340Meg IBM microdrive. The page also has instructions for rolling your own. For real geek-wear, go to http://lcs.www.media.mit.edu/projects/wearables/ for discussions of various wearable designs including FAQs on designing your own and fairly comprehensive links to commercial sources for the components necessary to make your own HP200lx replacement. For those of you inclined to chasing snapping turtles, go to http://www.aims.gov.au/pages/wetpc/wetpc.html to see a wearable designed for divers. I've always thought the 200lx should have a "ruggedized" version and this shows it would be possible. I don't fully understand what this is or why it is but it seems to hold potential as another type of "wearable" PC. Of particular interest is the nameplate that appears on the device (go to the "view of packaged badge" link or try http://www.it.kth.se/edu/gru/Fingerinfo/telesys.finger/Mobile.VT98/HP-comdex.gif). Maybe HP has something up their sleeve yet . . . . Finally, the iButton at http://www.ibutton.com. This thing uses a PC as an interface but the iButton and the serial interface combined are tiny enough you could make use of any PC you found. I've got the newer 135K version on order (set me back a whopping $50!) and would love to hear from anyone whose gotten it to do interesting things. Even with the demise of the HP200lx (still several years away), the future's so bright, you've got to wear shades (with heads-up display connected to a StrongARM processor running Linux with voice recognition).

I realize the code in the current HV is tight, and a delicate balance exists to keep the bugs out. My point was that Avi implied that there was more interest in the other clients than HV, and that any HV development MAY have been stifled due to that. With the relative abundance of 8,32,64,...?MB machines out there, all capable of EMS support, perhaps some thought could be given to a more feature rich HV. I wish I had the resources to commission such a project, but my support of programmers is pretty much limited to license fees, and some donation of spare hardware to those who can use it ;-). Am I truly in the minority on this? Or if we allow Andreas a few kB of EMS memory, and perhaps a financial incentive, would there be others who would mind merit in the project?

No, like the Gospel, the Truth needs to be made known, appeals need to be made until there is no turning point.

It contains the connector for the LCD. This is a very specialized design. It is done to minimize the bending of this strip of wires. If you put anything inside, you will constrict it and cause it either bend too much and eventually break, or simply chafe it and expose the wires.

Just in case there is a misunderstanding: I do not use the Nikon for the purpose of loading images. I use the Canon A5 Zoom. I saw in the literature for Nikon that you can create slide shows, but no mention about the images bmust be created by the camera. In my case, I displayed with Power Point a presentation on my Notebook, captured the screen, turned it into a JPEG, and uploaded it into ULEAD.

Ok, Al, are you ( or anyone else!) willing to collect a tally of people here who have WWW/LX Plus and think that a browser on the Palmtop is terrific dea, vs. those who think that it is better to get other tools in place. I think it would be important that people identify themselves by name and email address, or their voice is useless.

But the great majority of people I talk to tell me they don't even install HV, they just want email in their pocket! As to competition, I am hoping someone will rise and say I want to take a whack at it! Look, I won't commit to this before discussions and talks with my partner, but I think we would be able to agree with a prospective developer who wants to make another browser. We will release the API to that person, provided that that browser remains freeware like HV is. (I have to consult with Andreas on this point, but from all the considerations and many-many - maybe hundreds! of emails and talks with him, I think we can go for that!) Look, it is not gonna hurt anyone, just make it better for the community. i was delighted when competition to Post/LX came out (GP), because it made the palmtop a legitimate platform for email, with 3 email programs. Soon LXTCP, Pegasus, and now ccLXTPC (Proper name?) came out. This tells me that this platform is legitimate! It is real. You can do full-blown stuff on it! It helped us, it undoubtedly helped GP and NetTamer. I suspect the freeware presence made this market even more hot and inviting. So, no I am not against another browser, on the contrary - We will help that author out! > Day by day, more and more valuable information is only available > through the www and hence web browsing. I'm not talking of rainbow > press sites, but stock information, hotel reservation, online buy, > auctions ... Tell me! I almost live on the internet and the Web. But HV is not going to be the program where all the excitement will happen! And I encourage, and ask, and promise to help anyone who wants to make another browser. Heck, even if they want to make money on it, I'll help too! Ok? But not HV. HV will not be made public, and let's make this the last time we ever say this. I am serious. > It is hard for me to understand, why D&A decided to put it's force into > a market segment (email, news, network) where it has to compete with > freeware/shareware products, instead of comfortably laying back on > their monopoly, coming up with a browser product and leaving behind the > HV freeware. Because when my customers tell me to put effort where they want it, I listen to the customers. Amybe you don't think it is important, but I depend on customers buying the product :-) ... And amazingly enough: Many many customers, problably 30-40% tell me they already have NetTamer or GP or LXTCP, and they buy the "other" package too, ours! I do the same with important software - I buy several, and settle on one. > I'm willing to pay another $80 for a web browser which continues to > work with the *BASIC* new html stuff, not the fancy glitter.

This is an effective way of letting those large HP customers know what to expect from that company. HP may turn its back on a sizable installed user base, and on millions of DOS users around the world who may not have been adequately exposed to the palmtop platform due to poor promotion by HP. The former includes many who have made substantial investments (both money and time) in software and peripherals for this device. How then can they ask their customers to support a new product such as Capshare? And how long should we trust that WinCE will last? Technically, there's no excuse for HP leaving its DOS users in a lurch. Instead of having to purchase a spare 200LX, I would have much preferred to purchase a meaningful upgrade, but now HP threatens to deprive me of that choice in order to protect my investment for as long as possible. I find this unacceptable. I also think it's bad business. Although I feel hypocritical about it -- because the 200LX is hardly the only HP product I own -- if they in fact intend the demise of this platform then I will never patronize them again. Fortunately there are other high quality desktop computers, printers, scanners, CD-ROM drives, PDAs, etc., etc., available from other manufacturers in the marketplace at competitive prices. I don't have to funnel money into an outfit that disrespects both its customers and aftermarket vendors, notably those who helped "spread the gospel" when it seemed to matter to Corvallis.. In the meantime, I think all of us on this list should congratulate ourselves on being among those who recognized and took advantage of a real value, and who attained the kind of computing power, flexibility, and freedom that we never could until the LXs came along.

Another angle might be to try to pre-empt HP with the computer press and general mass media, all of whom are on the Web too. There've been a number of "DOS is Dead" articles in recent years.

In 1993, around the time of the release of the HP48G/GX, calculator design operations were moved to Singapore. After operations were moved to Singapore, the only calculator released was the HP38G, the result of a combination of efforts from Singapore and some people from HP Corvallis. The 38G, aimed at high school students, was largely a flop and the HP48 series remained the calculator of choice. After releasing NO new calculators after the 38G, it appeared HP Singapore was not ever going to do anything. So, at the 1997 HP Handheld Conference in London, it was announced that a new calculator group, the Australian Calculator Operation (ACO), would form in Australia on November 1, 1997 to design future calculators. http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/docs/faq/ Perhaps something like this will happen to the palmtop division, and we will all be saved :) Tim Pitman ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 08:51:11 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: TECH: 200LX upgrades MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Hi friends, I decided to (let) make the DS upgrade and a RAM upgrade. I prefer the 4MB upgrade kit ( --> 6MB ), because there is no soldering necessary for that, and I think, it's better for my little palmtop. But I don't know if it's good if I make it myself. Mack: In T. Rundel's price list there is a paragraph about the DS upgrade and Thomas speaks not only about the new crystal but also about a 'filter unit' that must be soldered into the palmtop.

If this is the case, I would assume you have configured EPPPD in a better way than you have configured WWW/LX. When using WWW/LX with EPPPD, there is MORE work to be done (more copying between buffers) then when you use WWW/LX alone. Could it be you use EPPPD with a higher baud rate than WWW/LX? Or you have a PCMCIA modem and let EPPPD support the FIFO-buffer, but not WWW/LX (by setting FIFO=1 in the corresponding section of WWW.CFG)?

There is probably a huge number of PDA users who believe that having a color-screen is the most refined feature of their little toy. Knowing the Agenda-story, I am absolutely not surprised that HP stops the HP200LX. It even surprises that it has been produced for so long, which shows that it is a very extraordinary device. At last we are living in a shareholder-world now, so HP probably did not do any wrong decision economically. Sad for us, but fine for the investors. Some suggest to organize and "force" HP to continue the HP200lx. I think, they will probably laugh at the small number of people using the HP200lx. And furthermore they are not interested in the number of people owning a certain device, but in the number of people willing to _buy_ a certain device. The real shame is that HP did not care to develop a "real" successor of the HP200lx.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, I just have to send you my comments about this line: > seem to have given in to pressure from Micro$oft (who else?) and they Pressure from Microsoft- what's that?! I have seen this kind of comments many times on this list and I personally do not see or feel any pressure from Microsoft. The pressure is from the consumers! I personally think it's very sad, but the fact is that the majority of PC users (any flavor- notebook, handheld, desktop) love the Microsoft products- so they buy Microsoft products. Especially technical people do not appreciate or like the products from Microsoft because we find the bugs and when we do something more advanced than running Word or so- it crashes! Unfortunately, we are not the majority- but a clear minority. Say what you want about Microsoft products, but they did the right thing at the right time and with a strong marketing became #1 operating system in the world. If we should blame anyone, we should blame the majority of the consumers which made Microsoft as strong as they are today! If a company produces any kind of PC products which requires an operating system and they want to get a good market share- they are plain stupid if they don't go for what the majority wants! I don't think anyone can argue against that. All of us on this list loves our DOS palmtop PC's- but unfortunately we are a clear minority. The consumers today are not like us- which loves to sit and "hack" and and try different programs, solutions and settings. The consumer of today wants a device as a productivity tool and they are not interested in "hacking". They just want to use it directly out of the box. It's sad, but it's true. In one way I can understand them- after I setup a Linux server without any experience. Linux is great, but I was working for weeks to make it possible to map a drivers inbetween the Linux server and a Windows desktop PC. But the first time I touched NT- installing a NT 4.0 server without manuals or instructions, I sucessfully installed and setup the whole system in less than an hour. (This doesn't mean that I preffer NT!). Unless you go for a niche market, you just have to supply what the majority wants. So let's blame the suckers which install/use Windows by their own free will!

I dare to doubt. If they wanted to do something productive, they needed something like the palmtop. I rather think, they need something that "looks good".

This is certainly true, but that does not mean if 50.1% wants A and 40% want B, that you should not produce B, does it? Especially if you have expertise in B. Frankly, I am very much disappointed by HP. They *could* have dominated the market with *good* products for a long time because they *had* the knowhow (and they could have supplied the mass market in addition to that).

HP did us a tremendous service by creating the wonderful 95/100/200LX series of computers. We all have them. We have a small group of business who will support us with modifications, repairs and software for as long as we will continue to patronize them. There are enough used LX's around that none of us will ever go wanting. Our real complaint is that we could not make the rest of the world see things our way. Lets get used to it. The rest of the world wants to down load their telephone book from their desktop Pentium and see the phone numbers in color. Let them. HP was not going to upgrade the 200LX anyway. We knew that the day they introduced the first WinCE model. The fact that they are not going to manufacture more new units to the existing spec -- sad as it is -- does not impact any of us very much at all. We are the lucky ones. Lets try to enjoy it. Lynn M.

I agree with this statement fully. _WE_ already own one or two and can only buy so many backups. Unless HP can sell THOUSANDS, many thousands more, they will break down the assembly line. I believe from the pretty positive reviews I've been reading about the HP680, that HP probabably thinks they have come close to the perfect unit and that the HP200 manufacture is not necessary. If they still do their manufacturing as I saw in Corvallis years ago, they have to break down the 200 assembly line, put up the 680 (or other) assembly line. Then take down the 680, and put up the 200. If they can't sell enough 200's anymore, they probably don't think the effort is worth it. > The real shame is that HP did not care to develop a "real" > successor of the HP200lx. Very true but maybe (and I don't know the tech stuff) it was not possible to get reasonable battery life from faster units besides the Singapore "not invented here" attitude. It seems that they have come up with reasonable backlighting. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 00:10:26 +1000 Reply-To: Tim Pitman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tim Pitman Subject: Re: TECH: 200LX upgrades Comments: To: Mack Baggette MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > There is no filter component as of several years ago, just the crystal. > Why were 'filter components' ever necessary? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 09:12:19 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Terry Owen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Terry Owen Subject: IR question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Has anyone ever been able to use the IR function to connect a Sharp Zaurus and a 100LX?

The UARTs of most PCMCIA modems does. If there is a buffer, several characters can be received before the CPU must be ready to handle them. Without a buffer, the baud rate must be set low enough so that the CPU is able to handle each interrupt individually. So you can use a higher baud rate with FIFO=1, provided the card supports it. > Is there some reason it is not a default? It always works with FIFO=0.

It is a technical issue. We are not playing games or politics. To suggest that is simply thoughtless and insulting. If you know C you know that the pointers in the progrma are 2 bytes long. This allows a maximum program segment of 64K. The program has a large number of pointers. The next size pointers is 4 bytes. Lets you address much more memory. But also takes much more memory! The program now could jump to something beyond what can run on the palmtop. Sure, with a 386 you can address larger memories and larger programs. We don't have it on the palmtop. If we had that chip we could probably run Opera and Netscape, too. Now, if someone feels competent to tackle this and make a browser, I want to stand in line and get one of the first copies!

The "Yuppie Toy" view has been in effect at HP and the rest of the market for several years now. Look at the 48G series. They're wonderful, powerful calculators, BUT - the manual doesn't say how to use half the functions. You need the "Advanced User's Guide". But it's almost impossible to find.

Neither Andreas nor I said anything about Web browsing future on the palmtop. In a recent post, I invited developers who wish to make a better, more lovely, more googawy, doodady browser. I tentatively offered help to _anyone_ in making this come true for the palmtop (tentative pending discussions and consultation with my partner).

Just a tremendous heartache and disappointment for Andreas and I about the portrayal of D&A's motivations in all this. As to your assessment of the future might hold: > - HV is rewritten by someone else (or a group) based on the original HV > (with your approval and support -- seem unlikely so far, and that's okay) HV will not be touched.

Yesterday in a post I suggested that we would be glad to help anyone who wishes to write a browser (actually just a painter is necessary.) Similar proposals were floated in the past by Andreas and I. We were generally open to anyone willing to step up to the plate to do such things. Example: IRC - a long thread resulting in NO ONE coming forward! Example: A more "graphical" FTP - another long discussion, another repeat of the suggestion to come forth to anyone willing to tackle it. Result: ZERO! No one came up. Example: Rod suggested to release HV. We won't, we said so. We also invited anyone to step up and discuss with us what they want to do and we offered the API to that person. Result: ZERO! No one came up. Privately I wrote to two prominent programming talents here, inviting them to work with us. Result: They do not have time for that, sorry. I can understand the committments people have in their lives. > - A whole new WWW package is written by someone else, perhaps using LXTCP or > another PPP package. Possible. > Anyway we slice it, it's not easy. The alternative is HP software stagnating > and eventually dying because it won't be able to keep up with the internet > tech advances. I agree. The "grilling" that authors and producers of software sometimes have to endure here certainly makes it a bit unattractive to enter this role of a developer for the Palmtops. While a discussion is always useful and tends to bring out ideas, it seems that the fine line between discussion and hammering is crossed. During three such "grillings" (slicing/dicing, as you wish) I endured here (at least one with you) I received three types of private emails: 1. From potential developers, expressing an interest but requesting full anonimity to prevent the involvement in the grillings. (Three different potential authors wrote that!) 2. PR people offering to mount a PR campaign for us. I declined because I am comfortable being up front and open with the community I serve. 3. People expressing their empathy. Thank you all. So, again: If anyone wishes to step up and do some programming you know how to find me. We (D&A) have a fairly narrow interest to protect, and beyond that it is wide open. If you can talk the mile, but not walk it in _our_ shoes, than let's not even talk... All the best to you, Phillippe.

That's what you think, but I have another idea about HV. I have many times been in situations when I quickly need some information (internet/intranet) or a good program in order to solve my problems. With HV, I can get what I need- any time, anywhere- thanks to Andreas and Dasoft! I also have a major collection of useful data on my palmtop which is in HTML format- such as the 100/200LX Developer's Kit, etc. A HP 200LX without HV is to me like a car without tires- you can run it but not really move forward!

I also think it's bad business. Please! I am sure that you are not threatened at all... I am sorry to say this again- but what we have today is a consumer oriented market. If a product doesn't sell- stop the production. Plain and simple- UNFORTUNATE= LY. For example- I have so far not seen a company which continue to sell a product which doesn't make sense to keep in production. Have you? Would you continue to work for your own company if your salary was lowered and became lower than your monthly expenses? I don't think so. So stop blame HP, blame the people which gladly use Windows!

I can't think of whose email address I should give out, who wouldn't be very annoyed at me -- and more importantly who it would do much good. My understanding (which I give about 70% credibility too) is that big HP customers have expressed displeasure to HP about discontinuing the 200LX.

I suspect (65% probability) that HP is having increasingly difficult time securing parts and guaranteeing that they will be able to get them in the future (screens in particular).

More likely by that time the concept of an OS will be completely componentized (or something as of yet un thought of) where users simply mix and match the components they want to use making all OS's effectively custom, but interroperable at the same time. By that time, radio, cable TV, games, business applications, etc. would all be components to 'plug-in' to your computer. The idea that in 50 years we will still be struggling with the concept of multiple incompatible OS's and applications not running on EVERYTHING is not a pleasant thought. :) Dan driden@stlnet.com > >** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 03:27:18 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jorgen Wallgren Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Wallgren Subject: FLUFF- HEAVY FLUFF- 200LX discontinued soon, how to carry on?

That's what I mean- in year 2050, Microsoft is our galactic government. = To make a very long story short: The 23rd of December year 2012, the earth = got it's first contact with ET. A radio astronomor is Denver, Colorado, = picked up the first confirmed extraterrestial radio signals the mainkind has received- at least which is well documented. Same day, a fleet of 6 huge space ships landed on mother earth. To be more specific- in the shopping area of New York City. Most of the people there thought it was some kind of commercial for a new movie. But after a serious incident, NYPD realized that it was not a commercial and not some kind of joke- but serious stuff! It's still not clear what happened and why the NYPD suddenly took the invasion seriously. But some very credible eyewitnesses told CNN that suddenly a group of 6 "spunky" guys from one of the space ships walked into a PC shop and did something to a PC in the display area and suddenly the PC could run the rest of the day without hanging! At 7:34 pm, people was convienced that some kind of miracle has appeard in front of them. Some went crazy, some thought it was the end of the = world. Others said, that they have read about it and that it was some ancient knowledge that was called Linux or DOS or something like that... Anyway, at 7.48 pm, Bill Gates arrived and was the first human to enter an alien space ship (at least the first documentet meeting- since it was on CNN- Live). After 2 hours of silence, Bill came out with a big smile on his face. The whole world saw it live, but noone could figure out what happened and why the big smile.. However, one year later- Microsoft annonced that a new version of Windows should be released- Windows 2012. This version should be much better than all the earlier versions combined. Now the whole world was convinced- after all Bill met an alien life form. So Bill must have been able to learn some very important secrets from them. Secrets such as keeping an operating system lean and mean. So the Microsoft shares went up by 2438% and Bill became the "Combined Richest Man" in the world. This title was invented just before the actual release of Windows 2012- which actually was end of the year 2014. Anyway, Bill became so rich that all the knowned fortunes though the history added together was peanuts compare to what Bill had in pocket money. The world realized that Windows 2012 was not as good as everyone thought. It was slow and Intel had to release a Pentium LXXV processor which was operating at 250,000 MHz. The interesting thing was that some historians told CNN that they heard about slow processors- in the range of 33MHz which could run programs from the "old age" faster than the new LXXV processor could run Windows 2012 in year 2014. Anyway, to make a very long story shorter- end of year 2014, the truth was out! Bill Gates didn't get the fantastic alien technology, but he conviniced the whole Rishaak civilization from the Orion belt, that Microsoft Windows was the way to go. But it didn't end there. The Rishaak's had a good contact with the Sneeaile civilization near by Sirius. And after that noone could stop Micosoft! The decease, sorry Windows spread quickly throughout the whole galaxy. After 247,124 civilization had encountered this virus, the next galaxy was also infected with Windows. Anyway, today when I am writing this it's the year of 2050 and Bill is as young as before. His speed-of-the-light business trips around the galaxies keeps him forever young and I have to stop here since I will soon be picked up by the Billis (former Polis). The PC which is in the palm of my hand reports directly to Billis if I say anything bad about Microsoft and I have about 7-9 min before they knock on my door. If I hurry up, maybe I have time to take a last snack- a bite of my McBill Burger.... Buy the way, I don't mind to be Windowzzeed and die. Several weel knowned scientists has figured out that we soon will see the end of the universe. Windows is everywhere now and the universe is comming to a reboot- after which everything will start from the biginning-> the Big Bang once again!

Everyone has a star and when that star falls, he/she dies. Obviously the HP200LX has its star called space station MIR (seriff JEFF, can you confirm?) and as the Mir is about to fall by autumn, there isn't anything H-P could do against fate. Thus the only way to save the HP DOS palmtop is start collecting money for Russia to keep the Mir aloft. Should 250 list members donate half a million US dollars each, the Mir can fly a whole year longer and thus the LX will survive into the next millenium. Cheating the fate is not cheap, even the ancient greek knew this very well (see Delphoi)... I think we should notify the cosmonauts up there!

Yep, the palm is by far the most popular handheld out there, whats interesting to me is the 200lx is basically an IBM XT as far as hardware (not size, etc) goes. and the Palm Pilots are basically MACs (16mhz 68xxx series processors). Sure the palm uses a different OS, but its similar in power and UI to a mac. funny that the 2 most useful machines (IMO) of the current handheld crop are basically just condensed versions of the original Mac and PC which started it all on the desktop. :) Dan driden@stlnet.com > >Larry Zimmerman > >___________________________________________________________________ >Get the Internet just the way you want it. >Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month! >Try Juno Web: http://dl.www.juno.com/dynoget/tagj. > >** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:48:24 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: BOOTDMOD MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Daniel Hertrich wrote: Hi friends, has anyone ever tried the program BOOTDMOD.EXE?

It is also interesting to note just how many of the computer industry's greatest failures have been on the `rewrite' of what were thought to be `kludged first systems'. Since, AFAIK, I haven't ever used any of your systems I cannot speak about the success of your rewrites. I have seen a lot of major rewrites, however, in 40 years in the computer business, and I've seen a lot of situations where people _thought_ they could improve on their first round of systems, only to face dismal failure of the re-write. This is a well-enough established problem in the computer business to be called: `The Second System Phenemenon', and has fairly evidently occurred in lots of real-world situations. And a large number of things thought to be `design improvements' by the authors proved to be `torpedos that sunk the ship' when finally implemented in the rewrites. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 13:07:13 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: HV - once again...

Microsoft will never be open source for the simple reason that if anyone actually SAW how badly written the OS was it would be the laughing stock of the whole planet. :-) Microsoft might be convinced to give away its OS, especially once they have added the parts that make it impossible to run anyone elses programs on it.

Look at the number of oil filters that the average parts store carries for a good example. There is no MONEY in standardization, the only way to make money is to make your product different. Do you really think that whoever is selling computer software in 50 years will like it if you don't buy their part but buy somebody elses? Look at the market now, a new version of an OS comes out and there is a good chance that some of your old programs will no longer run, but there will be new versions for the new OS that you can buy, for more money of course.

I borrowed a copy of WWW/LX several months ago in order to try it out, and I was continually plagued with bizarre "indexing errors" and cache problems from the outset. It becomes clear even to the lowliest of progammers (such as myself) that however the program was written, it was not consistent or efficient internally. The browser's goals (assuming that the goal was being able to browse) are good, but the lack of EMS support, the bizarre errors, and the fact that it has about it more than the *air* of a kludge, bugs me. One would be hard put to say with any truth that better internal design wouldn't fix a lot of that. > Your view of whatever HV is, is, at best myopic and terribly > incomplete.

This is pretty much what I do now. If I can't manipulate the *.wk1 file directly, I would like to export the *.wk1 file once after updates are complete, then manipulate that file to whatever output I need. BTW, I used my desktop computer to open the *.wk1 file, then save it as a *.csv file (text & commas). That allowed me to import it into the palmtop database. Unfortunately, I can't share the information. I keep the *.wk1 file on the palmtop as a backup, so that is what I am hoping to use in parts.

This has actually been getting better with each release. For example most Win3.x apps run fine under Win95, more win95 apps run under Win98, etc. Although I think this will hit a snag with Win 2k but thats another story. While the companies need ongoing cash flow which is currently supplied by upgrades, in a 'componentized' world all your computer software, entertainment, etc. services would be subscription based and delivered via the global net (higher bandwidth internet). So instead of paying to upgrade your os and reinstalling it, and your apps, etc. you would subscribe to the things you wanted for example, M$ Word, VIE (virtual Internet explorer), HBO, CNN, etc. and they would all auto deduct their subscription fees by use or by month as each provider decided. Cars havent changed nearly as fast as computers, but the computer industry shows little signs of slowing down, if anything things will move at a faster pace. IMO. In this model eventually the 'core' os will become an open-source (or similar) free product so everyone can brand it how they wish, etc. so a home theater system for example could include the core OS, and components for DVD, internet video feeds, etc. or those 'components' could be sold as a subscription service. remember 50 years ago paper tape was a really revolutionary IO device for computers.

Most of the industry was duped here, and while they were working on Lotus 1-2-3 for OS/2, and Wordperfect for OS/2 etc. M$ was working on Windows 95, Excel for Windows, Word for Windows, etc. and when they launched Windows with all their apps... 1. It caught on, and was popular. 2. M$ dropped their relationship with IBM 3. Most of the other vendors were left a good 12-18 months behind. 4. OS/2 was looked at as something cast off by M$ and never caught on. Dan driden@stlnet.com > >Pete > >Peter W.

Ah, a Jimmy Carter fan! Blame the people for not being as smart as this so-called elite minority. Well, Jorgen, as much as I respect the work you've done as a palmtop booster, I have to disagree with your premises and your logic. While I too like to try new things, most of my work on the HP palmtop is quite conventionally productive (i.e., "dull"). I have used it to write and edit lengthy and complex documents -- complex in terms of multiple series of footnotes and endnotes, cross-references, tables of contents, tables of authority (i.e., bibliographical references) -- then run grammar- and spell-checks before printing them out. I can't do that on WinCE. I have used it to maintain and search through large textbases with either askSAM or Inmagic Plus. No can do, Jornada. I have used it for project planning with real project management software (Timeline, MS-Project). İJornada: Whereisit?¨ I have drawn organization charts and process flowcharts with it. I have used it for time-recording (Jornada, yes) and generating, then editing, bills (Jornada, No). I have used it to store tidbits (random facts, fleeting thoughts, new must-do's) in either InfoSelect or Lotus Agenda because they don't quite fit anywhere else. I have used it in the past to log onto and explore CompuServe, Westlaw, and Lexis/Nexis, especially when I needed to find information in a big hurry and a laptop was either unavailable or inconvenient. Of course, I could go on, but none of these activities are especially extraordinary, unless you take into account that I could do all these things on the 100/200LX machines themselves. Years ago, when I bought an Apple //e, and then my first IBM-compatible, and then my first laptop, I didn't buy these things expecting only to use them for contact lists, prioritizing to-do's, and playing solitaire, although these capabilities were certainly attractive. Neither were these products sold with such mundane tasks set in the forefront of their marketing campaigns. (To be fair, some marketers did assume early on that people would be mainly interested in little more than receiving weather, stock quotes, and sports scores from an online service.) Will purchasers of the Jornadas or other WinCE devices need to blame themselves when the powers-that-be decide someday that even these toys are too sophisticated for the masses? Except for basic connectivity, neither Microsoft nor HP have built into their WinCE gizmos the capability to do real, self-sufficient, self-contained work, let alone produce a finished product. Their extremely condescending idea seems to be that the corporate, networked desktop environment is primary, and all we want or need in a handheld computer (where that term is used loosely) is the ability to tap into e-mail, stock quotes, sports scores or weather from a hotel or board room, to casually review a spreadsheet but not try to get too fancy with it, or to tap out a simple memo to the boss. Light software for light minds and light responsibilities. You're dead wrong. They failed. They failed to educate consumers, and they failed to respect a very large and loyal installed base of users. Microsoft does share the blame for foisting the adoption of its crippleware PDA/OS ("Jupiter", indeed), when they could just as easily have given us both DOS and Win compatibility. And they did this solely to force people to continually spend more and more money, nothing else. If big business and the general consuming public are to blame at all,it is for acquiescing like lambs in a sustained pattern of planned obsolesence that puts the auto industry in the Detroit of yesteryear to shame and disgrace. Those nerds on the West Coast have proven themselves to be vampires. First, they mastered the art of the annual software upgrade: asking people to pay not once, but again and again, and still put up with unresolved bugs in the same package. Then they learned how to play the hardware upgrade game. Now, they cast aside whole operating systems and their paraphernalia. Learned one programming language? Here, we have another for you. Don't know what to do with the pile of obsolete stuff bulging out of your closet? There's E-Bay. Now, someone might argue, this is the price we must pay if we wish to stay current with the cutting edge of technology and foster the growth of an industry. That argument is not without merit. But at some point the idea of consumer protection ought to come into play, especially when users are encouraged to become dependent upon devices such as these. Think of the billions that are being spent worldwide on fixing the Y2K problem. Think of the hundreds or even thousands of dollars that some users have invested in HP palmtop computing. We are not discussing a $100 (U.S.) peripheral device, or even one orphaned software program, but something on a larger scale. I am beginning to wonder whether there ought to be legislation in the United States requiring any OEM of a new computer system or a new operating system to provide or otherwise assure the availability of customer support for that product for a minimum number of years following its introduction -- even beyond the expiration of any warranties provided by contract or by operation of law -- including replacement parts, repair service, BIOS software fixes, etc. This would not extend warranties, nor would it require the manufacturer to provide upgrades, but it would, in effect, mandate a product's life cycle and allow both OEMs and their customers to share explicitly stated expectations about how long a customer may legitimately expect to enjoy a supported product before he is "on his own." However, the Jornada and its kin are exactly like gun control -- disarming the public, feeding them Soma pills, and taking both power and responsibility out of the hands of individuals, centralizing them with trusted authority. The pretty interface is merely the Orwellean enticement to the whole thing. Probably no one will ever require you to own and use a WinCE PDA, but you will want it, you will want it, you will want it . . . . . Guaranteed. Someday, the Hornet chips in our LX palmtops will begin to fail, replacements will be scarce, and we will all tearfully chuck our favorite software titles and succumb. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 20:59:09 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Feinmanr@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Roger Feinman Subject: Re: 200LX discontinued soon, how to carry on?

I tried to have something not show in week and month views and it worked just fine. What I did was to remove the checks from week and month in the views area of the appointment. This takes care of a single item. For the global method I went to Options and Appointment Defaults, removed the check marks from Week View Appointments and Events and then to Month View....etc. New appointments will no longer show, existing appointments will have to be edited, it's not retroactive.

The newest HP WinCE machines have some of these features, only real problem is they have WinCE instead of DOS. Sounds like we need an email campaign to encourage HP to produce a DOS version of their current high-end plmtops. Maybe that would be easier for them than to continue producing the HP200LX. Perhaps we should also let them know what realistic features we would like in a palmtop. ================ At 02:32 PM 6/25/99 -0500, Donald Collins wrote: >Writing letters to HP and asking them to continue production is a waste of >time, IMHO.

I read details on that information here late last year or early this year. The function of the FORMAT command is an undocumented feature of the DOS under W98. (It didn't work for me under W95 using my PC at work.) The required syntax at the DOS prompt is FORMAT X: /z# where: X is the drive letter, and # is the number of 512 byte segments per cluster. On my 64Mb Sandisk card I can only get it to format in 4K byte clusters. I read somewhere on the list that the minimum cluster size is dependent upon the size of the drive and the total number of clusters DOS can access. The larger the drive, the larger the clusters have to be. I've found from experience that using smaller cluster sizes does increase the storage capacity but at the cost of some speed degradation. Smaller clusters means more places the drive has to go and get a file to load and execute. The larger the file, the more fragmented the file, and the more places the DOS has to look to read the entire file or program. There's a fine line to be understood and there are tradeoffs to small and large cluster sizes. Look at your own files and measure the average size. Look and see if you have a whole bunch of small files and only a relatively few larger files. If you have a significant number of small files, smaller clusters may be an advantage for disk space savings. If you have a whole lot of large files and programs, then larger clusters will actually waste less space overall and speed up your disk access. I've not quantified these experiences, but, I have formatted my 64Mb Sandisk to various cluster sizes and have observed differences in file access speed on my 200LX. In the end, I've settled for space savings over speed. The HP200LX is such a slow machine (compared to more recent desktop machines) that improvements on speed are of little consequence. However, storage space on the palmtop is a premium and I have lots of small files on my palmtop.

Weatherly" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit IMO, not very practical. Since current WinCEs all run on non 80xxx processors, emulation would almost surely be needed to do a decent DOS. So far the 80xxx emulation I have seen on WinCEs has run no faster than a snail in molasses. It would be nice to forget the reasons that the 200 is sort of down a Cul de Sac on Development Boulevard. But the reasons are still real, and reasonably binding. If they weren't, HP would likely have continued development of the 200 line, and we wouldn't be having this discussion. The 80186 was an unusually powerful machine for its equally unusual low power consumption. Virtually every step later in the development of PDAs has increased (internal) power at the cost of burning up more batteries. It is difficult, if not impossible, to change one part of the current design without dramatically changing other parts. Small marginal, incremental improvements generally aren't possible. If you start to change something, then the fun begins. What you regard as important and realistic, I regard as unimportant and vice versa... So when it's time to compromise, we'd all make different compromises. Every time HP does something, there is a lot of `let's make a list of the features we want and tell HP' talk. You'll find lots of it in DejaNews. For a recent example of how much good it does, take a look at the debate about the HP49 that passes thru comp.sys.hp48 Old time HP48 users have virtually staged a `revolution' because their expressed wishes appear to have been completely neglected by HP. But it apparently not only did the original discussions do no good, all of this talk of revolution is even dying down, and in a month or so we'll be able to buy the 49, and then realistically evaluate whether the HP design team did a good job or not.

THEY (HP, Microsoft) created the market. They created the demand. How many software titles were written and sold for Windows versions 1 and 2, which hardly rose to the "proof of concept" level? If people had been clamoring for Macintosh interfaces, then I suppose that Apple would never have run into trouble, and this would be either the Newton or the Palm discussion group. Whoever asked for an 80Mb operating system, or one that would take up the better part of a 1 Gb hard drive? Where was the demand for a DOS palmtop circa 1990, except among techies and sci fi fans.? Of course there appears to be no *future* for the HP palmtop. When there is little in the way of commercial development of DOS software, and the market is limited to those people who had the foresight to hang onto their existing DOS software rather than follow the trend by chucking it altogether, it becomes an increasingly tough sell. But that doesn't mean that, so long as desktop machines can still run DOS, there isn't "a market" that could be developed. Even now, if a DOS palmtop were bundled with a CD-ROM package such as Thaddeus' excellent, unequaled, and unparalleled CD Infobase, it would offer more than the other handhelds. My point is, as with politics and the stock market these days, the public doesn't call the shots. It's the "marketmakers" who rule. We're just spectators and pawns. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 19:16:38 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hermann Michael Blum Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hermann Michael Blum Subject: 200LX discontinued soon MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit One aspect I have been missing in this discussion so far: HPLX users want a replacement for their palmtops if out of order (and appreciate an enhancement coming along with a newer model) whereas HP is still following the young industry's golden rule: computer sales come from innovations (although HP is not any more as innovative as they used to be). I asked myself what new feature could let me write off all the time and efforts put in the palmtop and start again learning to walk on a new platform: voice recognition (but not at the price of size or battery life shortage). Otherwise the palmtop does provide everything I really need and can think of (although backlight or colour would be a nice enhancement). Actually there is still a lot left to be discovered. This means the LX is quite mature as a PDA within an overall market environment driven by the expectation that the best is still to be invented. So HP is actually missing an unique opportunity: They could be the first to explicitely run a continuous product line in this otherwise too fast-paced and competitive industry (which feature-wise shows first signs of saturation anyhow). By doing so they would not only ensure a steady return (the core of the LX community would most likely stay) but could also gain tremendously in brand reputation (because you can easily replace your assistant when worn out, being instantly as happy as you were before; Mercedes and Miele who were among the first to adopt such marketing strategy for their maturing products gained their merits this way). Over time this current customer base would probably grow because there is still a huge potential (so far deliberately not explored by HP itself): Over the last year or so I have met at least half a dozen LX owners who used happily the buildt-in features and were astonished by the goodies discussed on this list I use now. They did not know what is possible. I also helped some colleguages (who were curious enough to ask what I was always doing with this little toy) to buy new ones for themselves (which have to be ordered from the States although being produced here in Sinagapore; HP staff here is not selling you any piece - "obsolete", "outdated technology", "why not the better ...LX", "not produced any more"). I am certainly not a fanatic missionaire trying to sell this machine to people I meet the first time. Still they realize the power and are convinced (but when "advised" in a shop by a professional salesman as described at least backlight and colour will work even when given a chance to compare). This type of steady development takes time and is new to the computer industry which is used to jump from platform to platform and has learned that taking time is most likely deadly. A last example: Jorgen Walgren recommended a Singapore roadmap software for the LX. I had to approach the software company three times before I got the program (they released a W95 version which they now focus on, the lx version showed obviously disappointing results). By now this is one of the most impressive of my regularly used programs. It not only shows the complete streetmap of Singapore, you can also search by name any road or (office/government/shopping...) building and condominium the location of which is instantly displayed (the respective paper Road-Atlas has four times the size of the palmtop). An American lawyer living here in Singapore could first not believe, that this was possible with this small machine and asked for the software-company because he thought this must be a good investment. Then he could not believe that it is only available for Singapore. I am sure that this program for cities like NY or LA would definitely work in such a direction mentioned above. But the precondition for anybody putting in efforts, money or time would be HPs commitment to a caring continuation of their product (and for them it will be extremely difficult to be the first to overcome the herd instinct, even more so now that there is no leading visionary left in their own house)... But if somebody has access to the big shot there - could this help to sell the idea (without the last brackets)?

The art of business is not to produce what people need (because most of them don't know either), but to make people believe that they need your product. In addition, in the computer industry there is also a "dependency"-factor. You cannot change your OS or applications whenever you think that there is something better available (as a private person maybe, but surely not as a company). MS is highly aware of this (like every good drug dealer). Other companies were more aware of quality and now they are dead. This and more makes the real world more complicated than your model. To return to politics again :), here is a comparison: does really anyone believe that in democracy the most able party will win the elections. Surely not. But all other systems proofed to be even worse. Of course, if all people were like us, everything would be completely different ;). Maybe in 2050, when the world will be ruled by a huge HP200lx built by a strange group of people who called themselves "HPLX-L", everything will be fine.

Edit your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to REM out everything except for the CIC100 line. Don't run Buddy, or SSC or any other drivers or TSR's. Just launch SysMgr. Reboot the palmtop, connect it to the AC adapter, and then run the DataComm application. Tell it to use COM2. Send an AT to the modem and you should get the OK back. Now send an AT&F to reset the modem back to factory settings. Now try to dial your normal CompuServe access number with an ATDT xxx-xxxx The CompuServe modem should answer, you should hear the modem noises and then all should go quiet and you will get a CONNECT message. Right after this comes up, press Ctrl-C and you should get the User ID: prompt from CompuServe. If all of this works so far, then the modem seems to be in good shape. You can put in your CompuServe ID and password if you would like to to test it even further to see if the modem will hold the connection like it should. To disconnect, wait a few seconds without typing anything and then press +++ (three pluses in a row) and the modem should come back to you with an OK, then just do a ATZ to reset the modem. If you actually logged into CompuServe thne type OFF at any prompt to log off and CompuServe will break the connection. If the modem did not connect to CompuServe or if it did, but did not stay connected, then I suspect either a coincidence of a bad phone line or the modem could be bad. You might want to talk to the Mobile Planet people ASAP in case you want to exchange it or get your modem back. You can also try a similar test with the modem in a notebook computer using Hyperterminal. See if the behavior is any different. But you seem to be getting the same results in your 200 and your 100, so it is either the modem or the phone line.

To whatever extent this group is an "elite minority", it's because we learned to use a so-called outmoded machine and "dead" OS to do real work.

For example, European DST starts within a range March 25.th to March 31st., and ends between Sept. 24th. and Sept. 30., which is actually the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in September. I do not know how to interprete the 6. The 1:00 and 0:00 seem to be the decrement (at the beginning of the DST), respectively the increment (at the end of the DST), given the "normal" time as the basis. So far, so good. What makes me wondering is that in Europe the end of DST is not the last Sunday in September, but the last Sunday in October (to the best of my knowledge), so this could be an error in line three of TIMEZONE.DAT.

Yes, I simplified things since I am not interested to start a discussion about marketing. This has now been taken up by 2 people on this list and I suggest that if you want to continue that- we should do it off the list. Yes, marketing is something that is a very powerful tool and you can make people believe that they must have your product even if they don't really need it. However, history is full of examples of great and usefull products which never took off- sometimes the marketing was great, sometimes not. I personally think that you should never assume that the consumers are stupid- but that they know what is good and what is not. But as I mentioned, I don't feel that all interesting theories about marketing should be on this list.

This is true, and in fact, World Time approximates the UK (and several other European countries) to switch at the same time as the rest of Europe. World Time (as shipped) only recognizes three time zones (European, Northern and Southern). It was a management nightmare to track all the local and even regional differences with regard to DST transitions, so this was a "educated guess" approach. I did leave in a back door to allow a sophisticated user to add additional Time Zones. The file D:\_SYS\TIMEZONE.DAT (on the ROM disk) has a simple ASCII file that contains the names of the transitions, and when they occur. It looks like this: _______________________________________________ European 3:25-31 6 1:00 9:24-30 6 0:00 Northern 4:1-7 6 1:00 10:25-31 6 0:00 Southern 3:1-7 6 0:00 10:25-31 6 1:00 _______________________________________________ You can, however, provide a replacement for this file--place it in C:\_DAT\TIMEZONE.DAT, and World Time will use it instead of the ROM file. It is easiest to copy the file from D:\_SYS to C:\_DAT and edit it with Memo. As far as reading the format: let's disect the European entry. European = A 3:25-31 6 1:00 = B:C-D E F 9:24-30 6 0:00 = G:H-I J K That is, A=European, B=3, C=25, D=31, E=6, F=1:00, G=9, H=24, I=30, J=6, K=0:00 The TimeZone name is European, The TimeZone name is A On the last Sunday of March, In month B, day of the week E from C to D the clock is advanced an hour, the clock is adjusted by F On the last Sunday of September, In month G, day of the week J from H to I the clock is restored to normal. the clock is adjusted by K The day of the week is 0=Mon,1=Tue,2=Wed,3=Thu,4=Fri,5=Sat,6=Sun. Let's say that the UK makes the transition to DST on the second Monday in April and the last Sunday in September (fictional example!--I don't know what it really is). The new entry (just add it below the existing ones) for this would be: United Kingdom 3:8-15 0 1:00 9:24-30 6 0:00 Note that 1) the first letter of each time zone must be unique, and 2) Only 26 Time zones are allowed. That is, you have one TimeZone for each letter of the alphabet. Unfortunately, you will need to change the TimeZone of the appropriate cities to reflect the correct time zone. In your case, you need to change each of the English cities to have "United Kingdom" as the TimeZone for this to work properly. ....... end quote .......... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 15:19:56 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , b.newins@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Newins Subject: AT&T Works Again!

Actually, Mir has to be deserted due to the fact that the ISS (Internation= al Space Station) is soon to be inhabited. As much as I love Mir, and will always cherish my contacts with the cosmonauts (I have the QSL cards to prove it), it is an old station. The Russians did manage to do something that we (Americans) were not able to accomplish, keep a station up and inhabited.

The ethical question is: "How did MS get into the lead?" Anyone who has been in the computer industry long enough knows that MS got DOS from Digital Research - for a song, and, presumably, under false pretenses. Later, they licensed it to OEMs, contracting to be paid a royalty for *each and every system sold*, whether it had MS-DOS or not! (In my mind that is definitely unethical.) In this way, they have the "bread-and-butter" money to fund additional projects like Windows, MS Office, etc. and to buy up competitors and others companies making favorable technologies. After complaints to the FTC from OEMs, they discontinued that practice, but it was too late, they already had a financial advantage and still do. And, because of that stable financial foundation, are able to take great risks and bully their remaining competitors, OEMs, etc. into complying with their wishes. ie: "pressure from Micro$oft" They got market share by *buying* market share, not by honestly competing in the marketplace and having the superior product. And that's what bothers me: their money made the powerful. Being rich is fine, but honesty and integrity, and helping people, come before wealth. Unfortunately, a company with scruples can't compete in today's market; case in point: WordPerfect Corp. Just my .02 worth.

Discover saw the charge had been made but they said they give vendors 10 days to make good. After ten days, if you let them, they go after the company for you. I used that information in a letter to the president of the company and got my purchase overnighted along with $100 in free goods as an apology.

Hex editing is not practical unless you totally understand the delicate and complicated data structures inside the ADB file. The others have given some good suggestions: try extracting stuff before and after the bad dates. Then merge the extracted stuff into a brand new, empty ADB file. You can also try the utility ADBIO to export your ADB file to a Comma Delimited Format text file. If this works, then import that CDF file into a brand new and empty ADb file.

Sorry for my very late reply. I am traveling and don't have my battery reference books here, but I believe the rating I gave is valid at least for 50ma. I will have to check. Also, I would not say the MAIN reason for larger cells is to deliver higher current. That is certainly one of their advantages, but larger cells also have more total capacity and that is also important in many applications.

This way, instead of "upgrading" from CE 2.0 to 3.0 for example, the consumer could upgrade to a 200LX. (simply a 'brain transplant' for the newer LX models.)

Messages usually are deleted from a POP3 server at the end of the session (and just marked for deletion during the session). It could be that the transfer limit (16k) of the demo version is not enough for a complete session downloading 6 messages and saying "goodbye" to the server in a proper manner.

Also I start wondering if FIFO=1 should be the default after all. So far I have not heard about any cases where FIFO=1 did cause a problem (other than it just simply had no effect because the UART did not support it).

I think that the way post works is that it does not necessarily write the list of msg id's until it has finished and it may be that since the download is not completed it does not write the list and therefore, has no record of what was downloaded and therefore can't tell the server which ones to delete. But I'm sure - I delete manually, generally on the next run. I'm not sure if this stuff is detailed i the docs. Someone with more info might answer the query.

To be safe, VDE leaves the hyphen in place, but also puts a placemark there to call your attention to it. If you want to remove it you can easily do so with ¬QM, İDel¨." So the inversed exclamation mark is the mentioned placemark.

Who should I kill? (JOKE) Well, I must say that they bent over backwards to fix a problem for me, but only because their own salesperson gave me bad information in person and put in my order for me via the web, from their own office while I gave them my order by phone. It made no difference that I noticed that their web site listed "no adapter" next to other entries of compact flash cards for sale and therefore implied that the one I ordered did indeed come with an adapter. They claimed that the manufacturer controls the descriptions of products that are placed on their website and that accuracy of the descriptions is not their responsibility. What DID make a difference is that I had personally contacted a rep via phone (the old fashioned way) and the rep verified that that CF card did come with an adapter, and then put the order in for me through their own office connection to the web. (My web browser wasn't able to adequately access the payment section of their website.) I got the CF card in a timely manner, but it came without the verbally promised adapter. After talking to management about it, and them verifying that their rep did indeed uttered something _verbally_ that was "misleading", they agreed to send me an adapter, free of charge. They did just that. :-) The bottom line? It seems to pay to do things the old fashioned way if there is any doubt at all about any item listing on a cut-rate website, even if one must go against the tide to do it that way. The old fashioned uttered word seems to be much more binding than anything on a web page, since it seems that the buck can be passed indefinitely for anything in writing on a web page. Cheers!

I just finished watching a B grade movie called "Soldier", a futuristic sci-fi starring Kurt Russell as a veteran professional soldier (Sargeant Todd) who's cast out by his employers in favor of a newer breed of genetically engineered supermen with more strength, stamina and faster reflexes. In the movie's only saving grace, Todd acts in defense of a band of people who befriended him when they are targeted for killing by the new super-soldiers, and his superior experience and cunning results in the decimation of the "new breed" soldiers.... to which Todd's old commander quips to the commander of the super-soldiers... "maybe instead of making them faster, you should've made 'em smarter". Somehow, I couldn't help but feel more than just a twinge of irony in watching that..indeed there's more to getting the job done than shoving megahertz and megabytes down our throats.

HP as a corporation wanted to improve sales and profitability. Singapore won because it had such a low cost. This is no longer true for some segments of the product line. Singapore seems to suffer from a familiar syndrome: Not invented here. Coupled with the loss of some of the engineering talent, they were strapped into manufacturing only, in the 200LX side. The Omnigo 1xx family experiment had a few fantastic improvements which showed that Singapore _could_ do well, but the flop really hurt and I bet they could not get management to risk it again.

(Not trying to imply that anyone has done that, of course!) The info is important to us certainly, but I suggest that other vendors can use it as well for their plans. That is why it is important that the reliability of the information is is high. In addition to HV usage patterns, perhaps more questions can be asked, to add to the usefulness of the questionnaire. In any case, to protect and assure the privacy of the participants, and to raise the quality of responses, I suggest that the names and emails would not be provided to any vendor, and in fact after compilation and verification, that the names and emails be destroyed. > use with my palmtop.

The support of tables is not along the lines of Netscape and MSIE, nor is frames support done in the fashion these "big boys" do it.

The FAT structure on the palmtop can address no more than 65535 clusters. So you have only limted opportunities. See below... CLUSTERS REQUIRED: ------------- Cluster Sizes ------------- MB Bytes 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 32 33,554,432 65,536 32,768 16,384 8,192 4,096 40 41,943,040 81,920 40,960 20,480 10,240 5,120 48 50,331,648 98,304 49,152 24,576 12,288 6,144 96 100,663,296 196,608 98,304 49,152 24,576 12,288 160 167,772,160 327,680 163,840 81,920 40,960 20,480 225 235,929,600 460,800 230,400 115,200 57,600 28,800 512 536,870,912 1,048,576 524,288 262,144 131,072 65,536 For example: A 40MB disk formatted for 512 byte clusters will need 81,920 clusters to get all the storage covered. For example: With 4096 clusters you need only 24,576 clusters to cover a 96MB card. Obviously, if your formatting requires more than 65,536 clusters, then you do not address all the space on the card and there is waste. Here is a table for that: MB 512 Waste 1024 Waste 2048 Waste 4096 Waste 8192 Waste 32 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 40 8 20% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 48 16 33% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 96 64 67% 16 17% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 160 128 80% 48 30% 8 5% 0 0% 0 0% 225 193 86% 81 36% 24 11% 0 0% 0 0% 512 480 94% 224 44% 96 19% 32 6% 0 0% In this table it shows in MB and % that a 512 byte clustersize wastes 480MB (94%) of the 512MB card. On a 40MB card this clustersize wastes 8MB (20%). The last item you need to concern yourself with is the slack. This refers to the amount of cluster not beinf used. You need to know that each file is allocated on a cluster boundary, i.e. in whole clusters. If you have a 2 byte file on a drive with 512 byte clusters, the slack would be 510 bytes. On a drive formatted with 8192 clustersize, this file will have a slack of 8190 bytes. Slack cannot be be reused, i.e. it is wasted. As another example take a file 8190 bytes long. It will occupy one cluster in a 8192-cluster formatted drive with only 2 bytes slack. It will occupy 16 clusters on a 512-cluster formatted drive with also 2 bytes slack. The 8192 drive will be a bit more efficient to access the file (one access against the FAT will tell where the file is) than the 512 cluster, where it would take multiple accesses to the FAT to find out all the clusters that have been allocated to the file. The program itself BOOTDMOD will work fine, but you may want to be careful what you do... The info above will give you some insight. Avi M.

I do not do anything fancy on the web, just simple browsing. I am more than willing to give up all the pretty color images, to be able to just retrieve the info I need from my LX. I usually just go looking for some quick info, then retrieve it, save it, and print it, all from my LX. I really wish that HV could be updated/upgraded to keep up with all the latest industry standards. I would gladly pay for the upgrade. I do not feel space is a big issue, because of all the RAM disk upgrades available for the LX now available. In fact I have all the data I use regularly, including WWW/LX, all my appointments, phone books, spread sheets, Quicken data, etc., loaded on my 8 meg LX, and I have 6.2 meg still available. I use flash cards to store all my other programs that I do not use daily. So if HV needs to grow slightly then I am willing to give it the space needed to be able to view all the web pages I wish to browse. Just to repeat, I would be happy to pay for this upgrade. Every other piece of software I own costs a lot, so why not consider Ian's suggestion, and take it back to the programming board. It sure would be nice to be able to continue to use HV to browse all the web pages that I may wish to go to.

Divide it by 5 for bloat and then compare the result with the size of HV. This is about how much it would have to "slightly" grow to support all that nonsense bells and whistles required to do "simple Web browsing" (e.g. many pages implement links withJavascript that could be done with a simple HTML linkt; it adds zero functionality, but requires that the browser has a Javascript interpreter built-in). The problem is not that the browser does not support any direly needed functionality. The main problem is the realy, really bad design of many Web pages out there. > Every other piece of software I own costs a lot, so why not consider > Ian's suggestion, and take it back to the programming board. Yes! Let Mr Butler do it! He is so amazingly intelligent and knows everything about other people's products better than they do themselves.

Yes. Such an adapter costs around 12-25 US$. It's a PCMCIA card in which you plug in the CF. I paid for mine (made by SanDisk) 39 DM, but you should find cheaper ones!

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I don't think a date field can use a string test (double-quoted text). On my database using dates, I have the list sorted descending using the date field, and noticed that the blank field shows on top. This would seem to imply that a blank date is evaluated as a high date, rather than low. So Al's on the right track, just wrong direction. I tried the following SSL and it worked to pick out just the blank date record: Date>{1/1/2100} You may have to experiment with the test date value, but I'd think this would hold you over for the next 100 years .

The purpose of this survey is to determine if this is a worthwhile project or not. Unfortunately, HV in its current state is about "maxed out" in terms of additional functionality. In order to add more features, a major rewrite will probably be required. In addition, the new program will probably have to make use of some EMS to add enhanced features...which would probably preclude running the program on machines with limited memory. It should also be noted, at this time, there are no plans to rewrite HV. Hopefully this survey will generate interest in doing so! Replies to this survey will go to a mailbox I setup for just this purpose. I will strip the return address & signatures (so comments will remain anonymous), collate the results & post to the HPLX-L LIST in a week or so...Thanks! ********* BEGIN SURVEY ********** 1) Do you use HV to view HTML files on your LX?

I have been looking at the source for LXTools which is written in C for Unix and I have attempted to port this VisualBasic but I haven't been able to have a meaningful conversation with my 100LX. First of all I have been trying to request that my HP goes into server mode by sending (Hex) 16 16 16 10 02 01 40 00 01 02 10 03 10 BF which I think is the correct request. My palmtop is replying with 16 16 16 10 02 01 40 81 02 10 03 FD AF which from my reading of the code appears to be an invalid message. The palmtop does, however, go into server mode. What I really would like is a full description of the proitocol. Does anyone have a full description of this protocol? Can anyone suggest what is going wrong? Thanks John PS My 100LX works fine with other comms software (eg TFWin200) so it is my code that is wrong. PPS I have also thought about writing this is in C rather than VB but I think that my C is a bit too rusty to port LXTools to Dos/Windows. Super does contain a port of LXTools to Dos but unfortunately it isn't supplied with the source code so I can't easily run it in a debugging environment to see what is really being communicated. |============================================================================| John Waller john@jwaller.demon.co.uk Listening to the music the machines make...... |============================================================================| ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 12:20:25 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ian Butler Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Butler Subject: Re: HV - once again...

"My Geo Metro is small and efficient. The only reason its wheels fall off is because of those awful roads that somebody made." The fact of the matter, in my oh-so-humble opinion, is that the Web has grown more complicated, and the browsing software has grown (albeit largely out of proportion) with it. I use Opera 3.6, the latest version, and fully decked out, it takes 2.5M of space. This is a *Windows* program. I should think that similar functionality could be had on the palmtop in less space, perhaps 2M. It's a pretty big chunk out of most palmtop RAM drives, but would be well worth it to see all that nonsense "functionality" added, like javascript and those awful "frames", and perhaps even multiple windows. What bugs me about HV is that it has really lousy support for some things that are considered basic functionality (and have been for quite a while). Inline images, better cache design, frames, javascript, multiple windows, secure HTTP, and large forms are *all* considered essential on today's web, and HV only sort-of supports one (inline images). Handling frames like the text browser Lynx doesn't count. > > Every other piece of software I own costs a lot, so why not consider > > Ian's suggestion, and take it back to the programming board. > > Yes!

It even started long before the mac, or its predecessor the lisa. Joe User, not we the elite :-), has wanted a simple way to use a computer since they first existed and a GUI is the simpliest system anyone has come up with to date. I am NOT saying that Windows, in any incarnation, is the best oreven close to it. The GUI exists as a response to market demand, Windows as an implementation of a GUI is one companies response to this demand and it is popular because of (overly)aggressive marketing. Pete Peter W.

Personally I don't see that happening anytime soon since that concept is predicated on the idea that full fledged computers are expensive and the WinTerm is cheap but the reality is that the WinTerm costs as much as a low end comptuter and can't do as much. The extreme drop in computer prices is really killing alot of those sort of ideas. 2 years ago everyone was talking about thin clients and winterms and set top boxes but today lots of money was been pulled from those sort of development ideas. Also, look at how much of an issue one big internet system being down causes, like ebay recently. Now multiply that by 100 when all the people on ther winterms can't do anything because some system in another state crashed. I sure wouldn't want to be the company involved, they would probably get sued into oblivion. Pete Peter W.

Where was the demand for a DOS palmtop circa 1990, except > among techies and sci fi fans.? People were clamoring for a SIMPLER interface since long BEFORE the apple MAC or even the LISA. The reason the MAC fell behind and the PC took off was licensing, not the user interface. If apple had made the MAC an open system and encouraged clones then we would probably all be using MACs today and the PC would have been a footnote. Even with IBM behind it the PC would not be anywhere today if it wasn't for clones and the proliferation of systems and the competition that developed. Also, the average user doesn't car if the OS takes 1M or 100M, most of them couldn't even tell you HOW much space it took up. All they care about is ease of use and stability. I am not claiming that MS is good at either, I am just talking about a graphical user interface in general. As an example of the the desire for a simpler interface, how many of the DOS based programs that you use DON'T have pull down menus, or shortcut keys, or even a semigrpahical interface? If people were actually HAPPY with a command line based system then UNIX would probably rule the day, virtually everything in UNIX is command line driven.

Surely the marketers could sell the public on ANY system in your version, why make something new when they could continue to sell you the old one over and over again. While it is true that an inferior product can be marketed to the public and become popular (see any MS product for proof) that does not mean that the publics demands are meaningless. The product has to meet the basic demands of the public before it can be sold to them. So if we have 3 or 4 different but basically similar OS's with GUI's (say OS2, Winxx, Unix/Xwin) THEN the marketing comes into play to sell the public on one over the others, even if that one is NOT the best one. Do you really think that in a market full of GUI based OS's a marketing firm, no matter how good, could sell people on buying a DOS based system with no pretty graphics and no mouse and no cute icons?

Too many dos programs make assumptions about io port and memory locations which wouldn't work on a wince machine. There is alot more to running dos than just have something that looks like a command line.

The point was that Opera crams a lot of functionality into an incredibly small space, and HV would do well to do the same. Also, when measuring space consumed, the program and all its associated custom DLLs, directories, help files, a rather extensive hotlist, etc., are included, but not the operating system.

Granted it takes less work to keep one machine running and a terminal is about as simple as things get but what happens when that one machine fails. I have over 200 pc's running windows, luckily I don't need 100%, 95% works ok here. I also have file and print servers but I do not have one of anything. At your scale you could probably afford to have a whole extra server system set up ready to go but even then you are gambling on the old all your eggs in one basket scenario. In the case of 25 pc's if one goes done one person is put out, in the case of 25 terminals and 1 server 1 server goes done and 25 people are put out. Now extend that idea to all the home users and put the servers in another state over an internet connection, can someone say recipe for disaster. :-) Also, how many days a system runs is not really important unless you need 24/7 availability. If EVERY pc had to be rebooted EVERY night it would make no difference in your case, no one is using them at night. I am not saying that winxx anything is great, this isn;t an OS issue it is a hardware/software availability issue. If even once a year your server goes down that means 25 people can't work, what are the odds that ALL 25 pc's would go down AT THE SAME TIME? Pete Peter W.

Well considering how long the 100/200LX palmtops have survived with NO marketing, I think the answer is yes... Not with the mass market, but creative salesmanship could almost certainly expand the already existing niche market. In a totally different area, BIC stick pens certainly outsell Mont Blanc fountain pens. But the point is - they're not competing for the same user group. If "primitive" writing implements can be sold for humongous prices, I think a "primitive" palmtop also could be.

I imagine that the 200lx survived as long as it did by word of mouth but I would be suprised if it made HP much money. It probably just made enough to justify its continued production until another use came up for the factory or some other bump in the road dislodged its precarious position. Also, try to think back to what HP actually always pointed out about the 200lx, it wasn't the DOS command line. They emphasized the built in PIM and system manager with its quasigraphic user interface. Even when it was new I doubt that the DOS aspect or the command line could have sold it. I don't doubt that with better marketing HP could have continued the machine, there are certainly enough people on this list that have found uses for it, but marketing costs monet and I really doubt that HP would wnat to put any money into what was probably viewed as an obsolete product. Try to name any other computer product that is still for sale that was originally designed over 4 years ago (how long was it?). > > In a totally different area, BIC stick pens certainly outsell Mont > Blanc fountain pens.

Any old BIC user can pick up a Mont Blanc and write something, the same can't be said of a windows user and a DOS machine line the LX. Comparing the LX to current offerings i more like comparing a quill pen to the BIC, a current BIC user would have a heck of a time figuring out how to use a quill pen. Pete Peter W.

Yes they are aimed at close use with the desktop since that way people can more easily associate them with there normal usage patterns. That does not menat that they CANNOT be used as a stand alone computer. The only time I plug my velo into the desktop is to install something that doesn't have an installable cab file (which can be downloaded and installed WITHOUT a desktop). How do you get programs into your 200lx? I have a 486dx2-50 that doesn't have a floppy and I connect it to my desktop to trasfer files in and out, does that make it "useless without a desktop" ?

Well, what XT-CE does is emulate a 186 machine, and all of the support hardware. It doesn't actually emulate DOS. You run XT-CE and supply your own copy of DOS which it then runs. Just a little technicality there. Now, for my point. The current implementation of XT-CE (written in C) runs DOS slower than the double-speed 200LX, even on a 133MHz Jornada 680. (Does the bigger 800 series Jornada run faster than the 680? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.) According to benchmarks, the J680 runs XT-CE at about 70% of the speed of a doubled 200LX, and the screen refresh rates are reportedly much slower. It leads me to suspect that if a well-optimized C-compiled version of XT-CE is that slow, an interpreted Java version of XT-CE would be far too slow to be usable in any way, even with a fast CPU. I'd be very pleased if I was wrong, though. Anybody got any additional info? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 03:26:52 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: HV vs. OPERA MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable You cannot compare OPERA on a Pentium with HV on a 80186. You also cannot compare codesize and functionality of both unless you come up with the OPERA browser running reasonable on the palmtop. We have to distinguish between functionality and usability. I cannot talk for HV, but let me explain to you what I mean at the JPEG example of LXPIC. 90% of all JPEG implementations on browsers, DTP or viewers credit to the "Independant JPEG Group". This group offers free JPEG source code in C. All a browser manufacturer has to do, is to compile this code and link it with it's browser and credit to the group. A work for one person for a few days at most. This works fine on desktops. But if you do the same on the palmtop, the display of one JPEG picture takes several minutes and hence is not usable. In order to make JPEG usable on the palmtop, it had to be completely new written in assembler and optimzed for speed and memory. It looks like reinventing the wheel, but this was the only way to make JPEG *USABLE* on the palmtop, and it is still slow compared to GIF, PCX and BMP. But the WWW uses JPEG, and I cannot tell them to use BMP or PCX instead, only because it is faster and simpler to program on the palmtop! Rewriting JPEG for the palmtop was a ~$50.000 job if I count the time I invested. I did it for me in my spare time. But please don't think, only because I made it available for free it cannot be worth a lot! Similar situations may apply for HV. Opera can use DLL's already installed on the desktop for free. All this has to be written new for the palmtop and must be usable, that is, must run about 10 times faster than on a desktop. Hence you cannot patch together a browser with free source code and expect to have a nice palmtop program. It may work, but slooooooow and memory huuuuuuuuuungy. To write a usable browser for the palmtop is a huge project and coming close to what HV already does needs several 100 hours of work. I have to agree with Avi: as long as nobody apart from Andreas seriously faces this challenge, you should be less demanding! AFAIK, OPERA was written by 20 programmers, NETSCAPE is a x-billion enterprise, and IE employs a whole skyscraper. What do you expect from a single person programming in his spare time? The best of all indeed ;-) Stefan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 21:36:48 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Sean Hoger Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Sean Hoger Subject: Re: HV - once again...

I don't think the best marketer in the world could sell quill pens today, and that is about the state of the 200lx.

C'mon - do you know of a fair sized group of quill pen users who manage to be equally productive with folks using modern pens?

The "Old Technology" pump-fill mechanism was being promoted as "the method preferred by fountain pen connoisseurs", or some such phrase. The pens advertised this way don't take cartridges. And, BTW, they DO sell bottled ink. I happen to agree with you about cartridges. But if they can convince folks to part with a few hundred bucks for inconvenience, they can probably market anything... Later...

The Mac GUI was invented because Apple saw what Xerox-PARC was doing experimentally and thought it was cool. The Windows GUI was invented because Billy Boy saw what Apple was doing and thought it was cool. From the getgo, however, it was clear that the GUI was going to require more robust hardware than the standard PCs being sold during the mid- and late-1980s, and the marketing ploy was beamed not to the general public, but to corporate America: Buy this, and all your core applications will work the same way. You'll save time and money on training your employees. (One of the biggest follies in American economic history.) You keep writing about the so-called "demands of the public," however, you ignore that this industry geared itself to big corporate wallets long ago. The needs and wants of individual computer users is addressed today only at the low, bare-profit-margin end of the market. Also, your implicit assumption of free competition in response to consumer demand is quaint but ridiculous.

HP200LX 5Mb turbo - Because it does the work I need (I'm an engineer, WinCE is nice and fluffy, but as yet it does not attract me a psion would be my second choice (if they were not such a ridiculous price!) as I owned two Psion LZ 64's until upgrading to the more modern HP200 early last year . 2.

The new Apollo printer is the "Barbie Printer" This is the same as the P-1200 with accents in pink, a sheet of stickers to put all over the printer, and a CD with Barbie clothing and hairstyle software. Both printers are shipped with just a color pen. They do say that you can run the black pen. How much black is used printing clothing for Barbie? Find the market. Have the product make in a labor market with low expenses (Thailand). And if it is too low tech or unprofessional for your image, sell it under another name (Apollo). By the way, HP already owns the Apollo name in most markets since buying Apollo Computer in 1989. I was acquired by HP when they bought Apollo.

I share your lack of understanding why people think UNIX (or actually most other OSes) are "command line driven" or "GUI driven". Most OSes don't care about the way the user talks to them. An OS provides services to run programs and access devices. There also is a component to talk to the user. Of course, Windows is just a GUI to which they forcefully tried to attach some OS functionality. So what people *see* is the GUI. But saying UNIX is a "command line based" OS is about as inappropriate as saying UNIX is a serial port based OS (because you can attach a terminal to a serial port and command UNIX from there). > User friendly?

If you print it out at 64 lines per page this is a book with 170 pages. Let's assume, 20 lines of assembler code equal one line of C code, then you still have ~500 lines of comparable C code. 20 years of experience in C software projects resulted in a world wide common sense, that the average output of a programmer is 5 lines of error free C code per day. This includes the whole life cycle of a project, not only the phase of coding, but also design, specification, test, documentation. Counted that way, LXPIC was a 100 day full time project for one person. Paying him $500 per day is cheap if you know he is capable of fulfilling the job. Let's be honest here. I'm not talking of a student's work or a hobby programmer's work. I'm talking of a real situation in the sofware industry of today. If a digital camera manufacturer asks me to write a JPEG viewer for the built in LCD screen of the camera, which must be fast and run in 64KB memory and use the RISC assembler, then I would say: This will take 100 days and costs you $50.000 Contracts of this kind are concluded x-times every day in the worldwide IT business in which I am for 20 years now, or do you think the MP3 software in the new little players was written in a few afternoons and was only $1000?

Thanks for clearing up the misconception of the DOS for Java possibility. However, you did mention a DOS emulator that already exists for the EPOC OS. Since EPOC is an actual OS and the hype claims that it's fast, is it possible that emulated DOS on a fast EPOC machine could run at least as fast as a doublespeed HP200LX? Does anyone else have any more information on the EPOC DOS emulator? I still believe that our most realistic hope in finding improved functionality over the doublespeed HP200LX is in an optional DOS emulator on a fast palmtop. Also, that way, any additional benefits offered by it's underlying OS would just be frosting on the cake. I don't really care how it is written or which OS a DOS emulator is written for, as long as it will be in production for a while, it works well and is fast enough to beat the Doublespeed HP200LX. Has anyone heard how fast the emulated DOS is or is expected to be on a fast EPOC machine? Necessity is the mother of invention... Cheers!

Its almost to the point where its custom programming. I personally only use the built-in software. But those who use third party stuff should thank their lucky stars that the volunteer software authors can afford to spend the time on their behalf. (hey Stephan! are you into wife, kids, mortgage yet?) Maybe you could take up a collection and see how much $$ you can get together from people to buy the services of someone to create a specific feature for you. Andreas could probably give reasonable estimates of the costs of each of the features requested. Not enough money raised, feature not added.

The only thing I could wish for with it is a way to get it to link to the desktop connected printer. I thought that OmniPrn might work (available on S.U.P.E.R.), however, OmniPrn is limited to 2400, 9600, or 19200 baud and the IR-HP5 seems to be fixed at 57600 baud.

LxPic was being created for 3 years. This means LxPic was rewritten from nearly scratch six times. The nature of small assembler programs surely means you have to throw away most of the existing code to incorporate any serious changes, new features. Any decimal point upgrade (v60 -> v61) corresponds to a major version upgrade of desktop software (Coreldrw v8 ->v9). Also, Stefan spent a lot of time reading feedback from a few people, demanding features impossible to implement or making no sense 95% of all the time, with the 5% rest being implemented as soon as possible. But I do think Stefan would read more feedback, if users took the effort to write down their ideas. I was sad to see that very few ever tried to use it as a graphics engine for their own programs, in spite the fact interfaces were provided. It is extremely regrettable that LxMap got defunct, because IMO it was one of the great ideas for palmtop use. Of course early versions are often harder to use than desirable, but can be refined later on.

Comments: To: Jeff Johns MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There may be a little `hostility' in the air, but IMO it's well deserved. I find it odd that anyone questions Andreas' instincts on this problem. My HV executable (probably an old one) is 57Kb. My last Netscape download was 18Mb. My `instinct' tells me that it is just the `features' that people want that account for some important chunk of the 18Mb. So, while it's an oversimplification of the situation, one might look at it this way: Analyzing by size, 1% of NetScape is still more code than 3 times HV. If I understand Andreas' point correctly, he's saying that there's not much useful that could be added to HV _without_ changing its size and scope by _at least_ and order of magnitude and probably more. Many of us have had the `pleasure' of knowing the software that Andreas has built. So we _know_ something about his credentials, and the reasons for his opinions. I don't know any such thing about the people who have been raising questions about Andreas' intuitions. Perhaps they are _great_ programmers, but equally likely they (as we used to say at MIT) `couldn't program their way out of a paper bag'. I'm surprised that, these credentials wanting, anyone has wasted time discussing what appears to me to be ignorant: `I'm sure it would be easy for someone else to ...'

Please folks, don't post stories about how many times you swong a bat at the palmtop before it finaly gave up on you. :-) Rather, did your palmtop die from non-violent, non-negletfull (no coke/coffee stories, please) causes, and if so: 1-Was it that you forgot the last free fall into concrete 6 months ago? 2-Did you get your unit used or new? 3-Was it a DS/memory upgrade unit (I suspect the surgery may increase the mortality rate)?

I think so. This is what concerns code size, but even more what concerns data size. And I wonder how sluggish it would be if data size is added, e.g. by using EMM.

The thing I can't understand is the idea that someone owes it to you to keep selling a particular thing, any thing. It would have been nice to see a new improved hp but I was saying over a year ago that it would never happen and that the hp would go away soon. I am suprised that it lasted this long, not many computer designs from over 4 years are still around. All I can say is people, get over it. It is gone, it will NOT come back and no amount of whining will bring it back. Also, there will NOT be another DOS based machine built, except maybe a really small outfit doing something with preexisting components and I doubt that. So, if you depend on the 200lx get a spare, stockpile your software and BE HAPPY. Who cares if no one else "gets" it or ever has one, YOU have one and it makes YOU happy. If you need more power or want an upgrade path SUPPORT the various emulator developers. BUY XTCE or the EPOC emulator so that it will continue to be developed and maybe it will become something that is usefull to YOU. Alternately, find ways to do things with a different system, whatever it is. Most of what people do today is just old software adapted to their needs, or a few really nice new programs, so pick a system and DEVELOPE what is not there so that it will work, or encourage others to DEVELOPE something that you need.

I just questioned that statement that it was worth $50.000. I defy anyone to find a company that would pay them $50.000 to write a DOS program in assembler today. Personally I think that assembly language programming is great and it is sad that so many of todays programmers can barely spell assembly, let alone write something in it. That is the exact reason that we have 80M OS's and programs that take half a gigabyte. Someday soon no one will remember how to write a small efficient program, and then we will be sorry.

I was making the point the people wanted a simpler user interface and that is what predicated the developement of the GUI. UNIX is NOT XWINDOWS. XWindows is a GUI ON TOP of unix that was developed for the same reason that other GUI's were developed, to simplify the user interface. If people didn't want or need a simpler user interface then XWindows and other GUI's would probably not have been developed or at least not have become very popular. Also, there is not way yo compare a user interface to a configuration database so I have no idea WHAT you are talking about comparing XWindow to the windows registry.

Everyone that is moderately computer oriented knows that win9x is really a gui shell on top of DOS but that is not the way it is sold. Also, the majority of noncomputer oriented people DO NOT understand that DOS is a seperate thing under win9x, they think that win9x is the OS, like M$ tells them. When you go in a store and look at a computer it doesn't point out the thousands of DOS programs it can run and the gret command line interface that it has, it points out the GUI because that is what SELLS.

While it is quite possible to write appropriate drivers to run linux natively on a wince risc processor DOSEMU will not work. DOSEMU is rather poorly named, it is not en emulator it is a virtual machine. It does not do any sort of instruction set conversion it basically just emulates the hardware of a pc inside a standard virtual machine. In order for it to run on any processor other than intel it would need a total rewrite to include the processor emulation to convert intel machine instructions to something that would run on the host processor. This is the same reason that DOSEMU doesn't run on Alpha or PowerPC processors, it only runs on intel systems. This is also why a program like XTCE is slower, it has alot more work to do in emulating the processor as well as all the hardware. Pete Peter W.

You can ADD a shell that implements a graphical user interface, call XWindows, but that is NOT part of unix. To be strictly technical unix itself DOES NOT have any user interface, it requires an added on SHELL program to implement a command line interface for user interaction. As far as calling it serial port based that has nothing to do with the user interface whatsoever. Remember we are talking about the machine to human interface here, how the user controls the machine. The original interface was via a switchbank, call it a toggle user interface (TUI?). That was soon enhanced, first to a punch card based or tape base user interface (PCUI?) then finally to a command line based interface (CUI? CLI to Amiga fans). The latest development stage introduces the graphical user interface (GUI), compliments of Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). All of these have to do with humans controlling the mahcine and have nothing to do with the particular hardware involved. UNIX began its life and REMAINS a command line based interface, supplimented by an added on GUI shell by the name of XWindows. There have been other GUI shells implemented over UNIX, Xwindows is just the most popular. Adding XWindows to a unix system does not change the fact that UNIX is a command line based system any more than adding win9x to DOS makes DOS any less command line based. Also, the actual hardware device used to enter commands, via GUI or command line, is not part of a user interface discussion. I have a friend that is blind and uses speech output uners win9x, does that magically make windows no longer a GUI shell on top of DOS? Pete Peter W.

It seems the list of late is approaching critical mass. 8=) A good question for a change. I don't know exactly what internal eprom or rom chips are used but most eprom chips have a definate life span. As a collector of old computers I am familiar with this problem and from everything I have read and seen it is still an issue. If the hp's have actual rom chips, programmed by mask techniques or prom chips, write once destructively, then we are safe. If on the other hand they use eproms then the stored information will eventually fail. I seem to remember a claim of 20 years but it may be less. Another area to watch out for is the internal writable memory, is it implemented as DRAM, Static RAM or Flash RAM. Flash RAM has a limited cycle life, especially older versions. Maybe Mack could be more specific, I haven't taken mine apart to see the specific chips and types. Pete Peter W.

Hi, Pete- Congratulations on yet another slick change-of-subject. I'll concede about a quarter point to this argument. Everybody here will freely admit that the 200LX is old technology. The question here was about productivity, not technological advancements. AFAIK - No one is making productive use of quill pens today. Lots of us, maybe even including you, regularly do serious, productive work on the 200LX. The age of its technology is completely irrelevant, as long as it works well. BTW - If you REALLY consider your 200LX as useless as a quill pen, I'll be glad to relieve you of the burden. 8-) Regards -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 19:30:16 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: HV vs. OPERA Comments: To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tue, 29 Jun 1999 19:23:27 -0400 (EDT) 17h50m54s ago ...

I imagine the most important chunk of the 18MB is bloat. Assuming Netscape is about twice as functional as Opera, that's 15MB of unused or poorly written code. When comparing that to the 57Kb, you have to consider what would be bloated on a palmtop, such as GIF/JPG/whatever decoding, which can be done by the LXPIC engine in 11K, but probably takes 200K in Windows because it uses standard JPEG Group code, like Stefan said. Pile on another 200K for the scripting language support, and you can see where all these standard libraries start to lead. > So, while it's an oversimplification of the situation, one might > look at it this way: Analyzing by size, 1% of NetScape is still > more code than 3 times HV. Divide by three for bloat, and HV is, judging by code size, about 1% as functional as Netscape.

This is true. But if you have, say, an 8M machine like I do (thanks Mack, David), 57K is ludicrously undersized. I'd rather have a 600K executable that uses EMS so that it can run and adds a great deal of browsing support not otherwise available. There is absolutely no reason not to have real, honest-to-goodness browsing power available for these larger machines. > Many of us have had the `pleasure' of knowing the software that > Andreas has built.

The reason I can't speak for palmtop programming is I don't know C or Perl, the only two languages that support PAL. I can program just fine in about 6-7 other languages (mostly legacy), and I know my way around small systems. The only reason I'm not shutting up about this is that I can't write a better program (because I don't know C, not because I'm not capable of writing programs of that magnitude (because I have)), but I can help. ian Butler / ian@hplx.net http://peace.hplx.net/ adapt | enjoy | survive | wonder ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 18:11:21 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Richard A.

Remember, they market to an audience that doesn't necessarily need to have the latest and greatest hardware, and there may stilll be an interest in a package that runs on any IBM-compatible. I haven't encountered the problem you mention. Naturally, if you are working with multiple large documents at once, you are eventually going to come up against the limits in the palmtop's 640Kb memory address space. In this case, some menus, which are program overlays, may not load. That having been said, I have successfully used NB4.5a with drivers preloaded for either CD-ROM or Zip drive connectivity. The former poses no problem at all. In the latter case, NB4 tells me it doesn't like the situation, but it runs anyway. This impresses me very much. What I have encountered is that, when you're not using the menus, some of the combination keystroke commands are difficult to perform on the palmtop's keyboard, but there are usually substitutes and workarounds for these, in the same manner that other programs have special combinations for laptop keyboards. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 21:35:40 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: İFLUFF!¨ Marketing (Warning: VERY FLUFFY!) >This discussion of marketing reminds me of a fantasy novel I read >recently by Terry Goodkind called "Wizards First Rule".

The URL is: http://www.notabene.com The interesting thing is, they just came out with the very first Windows port of the software within the last few months, and it imports docs created in the DOS version seamlessly. The Windows version also converts to MS-Word without any additional software, which makes things much less cumbersome than using Word-4-Word or some other translation utility. Okay, back to the DOS version. The basic wordprocessor fits on a standard 4Mb LX with plenty of room to spare. The full distribution package includes disk-eating extras, however, such as a flat-file bibliographical database program that can be adapted to other uses, and a full-text indexed search and retrieval program for all docs created in NB, which are ASCII with ASCII format tags, so that means you can index plain ASCII too. The Wordfinder thesaurus and a spell-checker are also included. NB is marketed toward academics, but it contains all the top-shelf features and more, for example up to three series of footnotes and endnotes in the same document, in any combination; automatic envelope generation, transposition, automatic replacement of misspelled words (this can be turned off), math operations, very sophisticated file-handling, up to nine documents opened in separate windows at once, and more. But one of the biggest pluses, mainly for hackers, is the XPL macro programming language, which is ported almost directly from XyWrite. The interface gives users their choice of pull-down menus or command line function calls. The latter are not user-friendly, but once mastered make this a very fast tool to work with, even on an 8086 platform. On higher platforms it takes advantage of extended memory using PharLap's DOS extender to speed up operations even more, although this feature will not be available on the palmtop. Depending on what you want to do, the learning curve can be slight or steep. However, the documentation is extremely thorough. The original developer had at one time sold the company but bought it back and issued the last update. This is an example of a developer who aimed at a niche market, gave it what it wanted, and managed to stay in business. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 06:11:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Larry N Zimmerman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Larry N Zimmerman Subject: Re: PC card reader Posted this to the list earlier but here it is again. http://www.extremecomputing.com/xcom/closeouts.html This page has some closeout sales.

As memory, hard drives, and CDROMs made larger programs easier to handle, the cost effectiveness of using assembler went down the tubes - usually in any well developed infrastructure it is the personal labor costs that are the driving factor. Assembly is particularly well suited to the HPLX, because of finite storage and processing power. Generally speaking, though, anything that would require assembly language for acceptable performance today in a standard PC, will function quite well in a higher levl language in two years because the hardware guys are kicking serious butt in continuing the development and refinement of computing power - I hope they can keep it up, and wonder what the final engineering boundaries will be.

I directed my question to the crowd that compares the DOS or Unix command lines with the GUI of Windows. I have reread the post, and that's what's wrong for me: You write: "If people were actually HAPPY with a command line based system then UNIX would probably rule the day" My interpretation: MS Windows 'rules the day'. It is not the command line part of MS Windows that 'rules the day', it is the GUI. So you compare the Unix command line with that what 'rules the day'. In other words: you compare a command line based system with the Windows GUI. Why did I use the Windows registry as an example? To configure a unixlike system as e.g. Linux, you can use the menudriven YaST or you have to do it with very cryptic configuration files or command line tasks. I used the MS Windows registry because the crowd is used to compare those cryptic alternatives with the Windows Control Panel. That's what's wrong for me. If you reread all the posts about this issue, including the ongoings, people go forward to compare GUI (MS Windows Control Panel e.g. is part of the GUI) with command lines.

I own a 620lx because they came out when I had money from a bonus burning a hole in my pocket. I didn't do any real research before purchasing. The biggest disappointments are: 1) A desktop is needed to install software. 2) The synchronization software won't release the serial port half the time until I manually adjust several settings. 3) I had to buy/install Win98 upgrade to run the sync software on my win3.11 desktop. 4) Not only is the unit itself a little larger than I would like, but also the adapter is large and cumbersome. Short battery life means I have to bring the adapter along most of the time. 5) Files need to be sync'd on desktop to be compatible with desktop software or for sharing with others. (I understand the current version of WinCE does allow saving files in standard formats.) I am sure I am not the only one who owns one of these but uses their 200lx for real work.

Was Re: 200LX discontinued soon- ... MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Gladly. askSAM 5.1 and InfoSelect 2 (which was descended from Tornado Notes) are freeform textbases in which you can give random information as little or as much structure as you wish by embedding tags in your text to stand for fields. You can use these tools to organize or not to organize whatever. The "SAM" in askSAM, BTW, stands for nothing more than a "sequential access method" of searching the database, which is basically what InfoSelect does as well. The data put into these programs is not indexed, except that askSAM does give you the option to index on only one of your defined fields, which you choose. Limitations: an askSAM textbase can be as large as your disk. askSAM's default mode is that a screenful of text, about 1600 characters, equals one record in the database. You can opt out of the "record" paradigm and choose to treat all of the data in your file as one document, however this creates problems later on when you are searching for and trying to manipulate discrete items of information. InfoSelect can be run either as a TSR or a standalone program. As a TSR, InfoSelect notes must reside in memory, and databases are more limited in size, although they can be swapped out to expanded memory or a disk swapfile while you work in another application. The TSR takes only about 10K when you do this. As a non-TSR, databases can be much larger. You search an askSAM database by contructing queries (Boolean operators are supported), and these can be as simple or complex as your imagination will allow. Queries longer than 80 characters, however, must be stored as "programs" and then run against the database. askSAM has a highly eccentric macro programming language that can take some time to learn. You will have to learn it if you want to see your search results as anything other than individual records. For example, to output tabular information, you must write a routine that instructs the program how you want it to appear. I have learned how to do this and even constructed a few menued hypertext applications in askSAM, but each time I tackle one of these projects, I have had to go back and review the damned arcane syntax. Very frustrating. InfoSelect has no macros. You search by invoking a command and typing the characters you wish to match. You can create a subset of the search results and work with those. I use InfoSelect often, primarily to start a new note every time the telephone rings. When I am finished taking notes on the conversation, I drop them into an Agenda database. Lotus Agenda is also a textbase, which some regard as an early implementation of hypertext. You can store random information in Agenda, but eventually it requires that you impose some structure on it to make it useful. This structure consists of three forms: items (discrete bits of text no longer than 350 characters), categories, which you attach to the items in order to classify them, and notes, which are longer texts that you attach to items. A note that is physically a part of the database can be up to 10Kb long. Longer notes can be attached to items as external textfiles; they can be searched but they cannot be edited within the program. As your database grows, a natural language parser in Agenda will scan your items and notes and attach them to appropriate categories. It will even translate complex English date expressions into the actual dates, which after all these years continues to tickle me. You can create your own text-matching rules to govern how this is done, or you can turn off the feature altogether. Items can be organized into separate "views" or tables, up to approximately 20 for any individual database, which can grow to 3Mb in size. On the palmtop, as your database grows, the operations of the program will slow down considerably. Turning off the text-matching feature, at least temporarily, will help. Limiting the number of views in your file will help even more, since view structures take up memory. Agenda has a very robust macro language that closely resembles Lotus 1-2-3's. The program's main disadvantage lies in how to get information into it without keyboarding it in. This often requires writing a "definition file" to instruct the TXT2STF utility program how to transform the external text into a structured format that Agenda can read. This is fairly difficult to all except those with some programming knowledge and experience. I love Lotus Agenda and have used it for years as a chronological record-keeper and research organizer. I do not enjoy tackling "def" files. Inmagic Plus started out on the DEC VAX platform and was ported to DOS microcomputers in the mid-80s as a tool for librarians and lawyers, but it has more general application to anyone who works with textual information. This program used to sell for over $1000, but it is now available as freeware at http://www.inmagic.com. Inmagic combines a fielded structure with fully indexed search-and-retrieval for information in any field of its variable-length records. You can have one or as many fields as you like, and (unlike most flatfile or relational databases) you can have more than one entry for the same field in the same record. The size of your database is limited only by disk space. You begin working in Inmagic by defining the structure of your database. Then, you tag your textual information to tell the program where the records are separated and which field in a record each piece belongs to (this is most easily performed in a word processor), then you import the text. Inmagic does the rest, building its index and organizing your records into a default sort order, which you may change. You may edit the records within Inmagic and then re-index the database, but the editing capabilities are rudimentary. I prefer simply exporting a database to a textfile and editing that. You may choose between either a menued or a command line interface; in either case a full-featured Boolean search query language is available, and it is fairly easy and straightforward to master. You can sort your search results on multiple keys. You can save your queries for future use. You can create attractive custom reports using the program's report generating facility. Since Inmagic was written for the 640Kb generation of PCs, and does not use expanded or extended memory, it works quite well on the palmtop. I use it mainly to store information that is unlikely to change once it has been entered, but which I may need to retrieve in a hurry. I prefer Inmagic to askSAM because of its speed and ease of use, also because of its stronger security features (there are multiple levels of password protection). Also, because Inmagic has a companion search-only engine, SearchMagic (also free), I can create databases that other people may use but not modify. You will prefer whichever program fits your individual needs and style of working, but the last point is this: Except for askSAM, which is now available for Windows, and Inmagic's successor program, DBTextworks for Windows, which is priced almost as astronomically as its predecessor was, there is nothing like these programs available for Windows or WinCE. (IMHO, the Windows version of InfoSelect does not match the TSR's convenience.) And to know that they all run on the HP 200LX palmtop, giving you access to whatever personal information you require, wherever you happen to be, is very comforting to me. I have used all of them in that context for both business or personal purposes, and I would not trade that portable power for a WinCE machine unless and until it can offer matching capabilities. If that makes me and my palmtop obsolete, hurrah! -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:34:45 +0200 Reply-To: Stephan Goeldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: Re: Death from natural causes?

Correct. And that shell may be a command line thing or a GUI. It is "independent" of the OS, even though it obviously needs to be bundled with the OS because otherwise you cannot use the OS. > As far as > calling it serial port based that has nothing to do with the user > interface whatsoever. I did not mean to say that. I wanted to say that the *attribute* "command line based" does not make sense.

Above you correctly said that it does not make sense to say UNIX is "command line based" because it is not UNIX, but a SHELL that is command line based (and there are also GUI shells!) and now you say again that UNIX is "command line based"???

Mr. Paul is fortunate in that his e-mail services to businesses are self-sustaining, and the palmtop service simply piggy-backs on the same internet gateway. He does request a $60 one-time permanent subscription fee for establshing an individual e-mail account. Considering the ease and convenience of being able to use the built-in cc:Mail Mobile app without loading any additional software, and the fact that it works flawlessly, this seems very well worthwhile, even for occasional use. Although his operation is a local dial-up, any LD phone charges for connecting should prove minimal.

Meyer" To: Matt Eschbach Matt, I thought I would ask you first to see if you had any suggestions. I have been using and still use MSDOS based applications for about 15 years, many of them Microsoft. I use daily an HP200LX palmtop. If you don't know what an HP200LX is, it is essentially an IBM PC XT that you can put in your pocket. Graphics are CGA. Ths OS is MSDOS 5.00. Many built in applications including Lotus 123 v2.4. Runs about 20 hours on two AA's. HP as produced this line of machines since 1991. To my knowledge, they have no intentions of removing it from production. I think sales is up with their Windows CE machines although not advertised much anymore. I am on an email list of several hundred similar users. Many users use it on the internet. There are even a couple used for an internet servers! Here is my proposal -- that Microsoft would produce a CDROM entitled "Microsoft MSDOS Classics". The purpose: 1. Historical 2. A compendium for DOS diehards 3. A source of hard to get professional programs It would include: 1. All discontinued MSDOS operating systems. 1.0 to 5.0 2. All discontinued DOS based programming products. 3. All discontinued DOS based productive applications. 4. All discontinued DOS based games, especially, Flight Simulator. 5. All discontinued Windows 1.0 - 3.0 Price? Very reasonable. Manuals? MS Word format (the originals used to produce the original manuals updated in a common format, i.e., Word 4.0/5.0/6.0). Microsoft does not stand to make a killing on this product. The market would be a low volume steady demand. Many of use have to scrounge in used computer stores and dumpsters to find these old classics. I use Word 4.0 on my HP200LX. Recently, I purchased Flight Sim 98 -- It is hard not to spend hours on it. To help learning, I decided to put my old Flight Sim 3.0 on my HP200LX. Would be nice if these programs where available again for anyone to purchase.

The palmtop uses an 8-bit Analog to Digitial Converter with a 5 volt reference, I believe. So, the smallest voltage difference it can measure is 5 volts/255 or 0.02 volts. So, you should not put so much stock into the two decimal places the battery voltages are giving.

Well, not only do I want to keep using the dos tools I'm comfortable with (List, TSE, Qfiler, zip, etc (which I still stubbornly use under Win95)) but some special HP200 tools (accis, Post and others (which I also continue to use under Win95). And I really don't want to give up the PIM's, well, probably the appt application, solver and calc, pocket quicken (while it took a long time to adopt) and the various db's including phone. But I believe like others, that HP will, even if it has not yet, pull the plug on the hp200. Frankly, instead of the anemic win-ce, I'd really prefer win95 on that size platform. But it seems that battery power and capacity to run such an unweildly operating system is not there. Altho, I do keep reading that even MS does not know if win-ce is the future of yet another small/tight (MS do that???) NT. Well, shall see. In the mean time, I will save my pennies and add a spare 200 to my drawer of goodies. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 22:07:15 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: FLUFF: Marketing Comments: To: John J Vanderstel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit If you are referring to the `Damark' that traded for over $30/share in 1994 and closed today a bit over $8 while the market has gone from under 4000 to over 10000 over the same period, I'm not sure it proves your point.

I went through this situation about a year ago. My 200X was new and the hinge was pretty stiff. I didn't see any sign of the crack, but it was a hot topic at the time and I was worried. I took off the caps and added a drop of light machine oil at each hinge. I worked it around for a while and it didn't seem to help so I added another drop. I worked the hinges again for a while and suddenly the joints got very loose. The lid would not stay in place after that. My remedy for the loose hinges was to take a wash bottle of absolute ethanol and rinse each hinge, then open and close several times. I repeated this process a few times and ended up with just the right amount of tension. My thinking was that the ethanol would rinse off the excess oil and then evaporate. I don't know if that is what actually happened, but it seemed to work.

There is no hinge in that side, only a little space through which the screen ribbon cable passes. Putting oil in it will only goo it up, and won't help loosen or tighten the hinge. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 16:03:29 +0200 Reply-To: Stephan Goeldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: GEM is open source!

I believe both are Mobile Plus Cellular ready. One works in the Palmtops one does not. The one which does not is the less expensive one, and it is built especially for Windows machines. It relies on much if the functionality to be performed by Windows on the desktop/notebook, rather than the modem itself. Perhaps that is the source of troubles. Also, the modem does not like fancy initialization strings - AT&F is basically what will work (or ATZ).

I feel sarcasm, perhaps resentment, perhaps annoyment and more coming from you and Andreas, and I think it's quite legitimate. I'm not sure I can imagine being grilled over and over again and trying to tell people the same response in a zillion different ways until I'm blue in the face and realize they don't get in no matter what. But one thing I'm sure is that I probably would feel the same way you do. Now let me make a statement: You and Andreas ROCK!!! You've put zillions of hours into WWW/LX and other software, turned it into a bit of cash, and in the process cut yourself a piece of palm computing history! You're gurus in your own right -- much like many people on this list -- and deserve much respect and admiration. And when people bitch and moan about software, I don't really know for sure why they do it, but when I do it, it's *never* because I want to ditch it... it's because I really want to use it. And when I see a fantastic piece of software like HV, maxed out and fragile, I want to find a way to -- somehow -- make it grow further -- or rewrite it -- because I truly see value in the project. Actually, having been a software maintenance enginner for as long as I remember, I've always seen software as a growing entity. And when I hear that some piece of software is "not maintainable" or "not upgradable", the death bell rings and I get the feeling (and I have seen it repeatedly) that this piece of software's demise is at hand. So do you truly believe we're just here to make your life miserable or want to grill you and actually be mean or hurtful? I sincerely hope it's not anyone's intention on this list. And maybe all these discussions will be enough for me or someone else to shake their butt and really do something about it other than just rant and rave. In the right environment, with the right people, and the right atmosphere, I'll do anything. The survey is a good start! Also, this list evolves with time, with new people -- ignorant like myself of the battles that took place before -- joining everyday. Repeating yourself is part of being on the list. Create a form e-mail and just keep sending it and perhaps put something on the website that says the same thing. Cheers!

Granted there are a few people that still pay by the minute for their connection and to those people a large volume of mail is costly. For those people I suggest just downloading the subjects and then only get the bodies of messages that you actually want to read. That is the way I did things for years when I used compuserve and was a poor student, works great no matter what volume of mail. If your mail program doesn't support this try another. If you are using one of our lx based mail programs mayeb that is a feature that could be added, talk to the author. For anyone else all I can say is, you do understand that you DON'T have to read EVERY message, scan the subjects and only read the ones that are pertinent. I get around 400 messages a day and it only add up to about 1 hour of total time, even when I reply to several of them. Pete Peter W.

You would really have to compare the windows registry to the collection of configuration files in a unix system. Personally I will take a collection of flat text configuration files any day over windows registry. If you actually look at the internal structure and contents of the windows registry you will see that it is totally screwy. Pete Peter W.

Programming in assembler because you had to is the wrong tack on things. You should be programming in assembler for efficiency. I agree that the scale of some tasks is much more easily handled by a higher level language but assembly will still be more efficient. There is an old rule, I think it is 70/30, that says 70 percent of the execution time of a program is spent in 30% of the code. That is what profilers are for, if you identify and streamline that 30% you can gain large amounts of efficiency without resorting to assembler for the whole program. > Assembly is particularly well suited to the HPLX, because of finite storage and > processing power.

Saying that I can write it terrilby since the hardware will be fast enough to handle it is why we have an os that takes 100m and runs slower than it predecessor. Look at it from the other direction, if programs were written to be efficient and fast we would probably be doing alot more with the same hardware since we would have alot more processing power available and not being wasted by the inefficient OS itself. To see this exact idea in action take a look at an older version of GEOS and compare it to a similarly dated version of windows. The orginal versions of GEOS were all coded for efficiency, mostly if not totally in assembly and they would literally run circles around windows3.1 one LESS hardware. I had GEOS on a 286 that easily beat windows3.1 one a 386 with twice the memory and twice the speed. Pete Peter W.

Take ANY current or past version of UNIX and install it on ANY machine that it will run on and WHAT interface will you be presented with by default, a command line based interface. UNIX was ORIGINALLY designed with a command line interface and every version since the original has had the SAME interface. If you want to be really picky DOS is not a command line based system since you have to load a shell (command.com) to implement the command line interface but I hardly think anyone will argue that DOS is not a command line based system. UNIX is just as command line based as DOS is since neither one is of much use WITHOUT a shell. Also, just loading XWindows on top of UNIX does NOT remove the command line based interface underneath, any more than loading win9x on top of DOS removes the command line based interface, as YOU stated above. Wht if the first thing most XWindows based setups load? An XTERM command line shell. Pete Peter W.

(Hinge crack) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > I am curious - how does one prevent the hinge crack? I have just... If the following doesn't prevent the crack I think it will at least postpone it. Assumption: The crack is caused by the o-ring in the right hinge causing a bit of 'opening' tension after the lid has been closed and latched. This constant bit of stress eventually causes the plastic to fail. To prevent the crack we need to reduce the tension trying to open the lid while it is closed and latched. Experiment: 1. Open the lid to about 90 degrees. 2. Place your finger near the latch and slowly close the lid until it latches. As soon as the latch closes remove your finger. 3. Take a pencil and push against the latch forcing it to open. 4. When the latch releases the lid it will 'pop' up about an eighth of an inch. This represents the the opening tension left in the hinge o-ring. Now, how do we reduce this tension in the right hinge? Experiment: (Perform steps 1 and 2 of the first experiment above.) 3. Now, with the lid closed and latched, squeeze the LX closed just forward of the right hinge, over where the crack forms. Don't squeeze with all your might; we aren't try to crush the LX, we just want to reduce a bit of the tension left in right hinge. The case should flex a bit while you're squeezing. 4. Take a pencil and push against the latch forcing it to open. 5. If your LX is like mine, the latch should release but the lid shouldn't pop up. The demonstrates that the squeeze you did forced the lid closed a bit more than usual and reduced the tension in the hinge. When my 200LX (SG647.....) was about 6-8 months old I first heard about the hinge crack. I started looking in that area and was shocked to see it happening to mine too. I could see a faint while line that I felt was the plastic starting to stress and turn into a crack. I started my "Squeeze Closing" then to see if I could delay the crack from forming. It's been about 2 years now and while I can still see the faint white line, it has not developed into a crack. I can only hope that my Squeeze is really helping; I don't believe it is causing any harm. The worst that is happening is I am wasting my time with that additional step. I don't think that is the case though, I think the Squeeze reduces the tension in the right hinge while closed and therefore prevents (or at least postpones) the dreaded hinge crack. Cheers...

I for one delete almost one hundred percent of the mail i get from this list, usually without even looking at the topics. A year ago, that was not the case, of course, I could trust that I would find useful and relevant posts about ninety percent of the time. Perhaps that's indicative of changes in my own knowledge and needs, including increased activity in the Free Software movement, with more of my time devoted to that than to my LX. To attribute the entire phenomenon to my own changes, however, would be a glaring error.

So, point to each newsgroup, Press EDIT (f7) and see the field called SETS. Give it a letter of your choice. Do similar for other newsgroups - same or different letter groupings. All my email are in Set M. That effectively turns off all other newsgroups or folders. A space will reveal all groups again. By the way, if there are any NEW Items (headers or messages) in a group, it will not be hidden by selecting other sets. IF there is something unread, it will continue to show. Use the manual toggle method that way.

My experience printing off of this program has been confined to Laserjets III & IV because I chose to install only those drivers. Getting the first page out is not fast, but it works reasonably from then on. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 18:56:06 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: HV vs. OPERA Comments: To: dcollins@TRENDX.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > Peter, > > Please let me know when your browser is available for beta testing.

Well, that's excellent! Is assembly one of the legacy languages? That would help you make the code very tight. BTW, the 600K program you suggested means no TCP/IP engine. You know you need that to connect to your ISP and manage all the calls and all that. Of course, you can incorporate it as new code inside the new browser you are planning. It will add to the coding time and to the size of course. > The only reason I'm not shutting up about this is that I > can't write a better program (because I don't know C, not > because I'm not capable of writing programs of that > magnitude (because I have)), but I can help. Ok, I'll take that as a serious offer. Could you kindly help out by producing what you already offered once? Produce the design of a better, tighter, more feature rich browser. If you want to incorporate the TCP/IP communication layer, than you probably have to design that in too. Also what about the dialler? Scripts? How about multiple ISP management?

The software you and other talents here write takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, and lots of planning and cooperation with other people. I assume the number you quote is based on the time, the level off effort, and planning, design, and so on that it took to make JPEGs display in LXPIC. I cannot know the numbers, but I do know what you had to do, since JPEG specifications are publicly available to everyone to read. It is a formidable job to read and understand, let alone code. To be able to squeeze it so tighly as you have done in LXPIC borders on the genius. So it seems like a reasonable amount of money. I know that when you offered it to us to use, and what you asked for in exchange, I felt like I robbed you of something! So intellectual efforts in programming can be significantly priced. 2. The second point you make is that just because it is free it is not worthless. The perception of so many people who use programs is that they are free, therefore they are worthless. In fact, many excellent examples exist of major works that defy this model (Apache, Linux, LXPIC, HV, come to mind). > To write a usable browser for the palmtop is a huge project > and coming close to what HV already does needs several 100 hours > of work. I have to agree with Avi: as long as nobody apart from > Andreas seriously faces this challenge, you should be less > demanding! I want to jump in here... In all my professional life as a programmer and manager of large programming and computer projects I have always wanted _demanding customers_. I think they are the best! Even if you cannot satisfy them, because of constraints you have (project, machines, whatever) there are always nuggets of truth that may pop one day, but they must be nurtured by intelligent discourse, and truly committed people who apply their wits, their energy. What does not work is a "demanding customer" who strides into center stage with pompous declarations of worthiness and appropriateness, and then contemptuously throwing a challenge on the floor to be picked up. this is assinine at best. But you know what? Even here sometimes there is hidden talent! I have seen that. That is why I, enraged as I was, still suggested that some real steps be taken by that person. Maybe there is something there. I would be happy with the emergence of it, because it would benefit the whole community, and myself as part of it. > AFAIK, OPERA was written by 20 programmers, NETSCAPE is a > x-billion enterprise, and IE employs a whole skyscraper. ROFL... Probably just 5 guys for Opera, and maybe 125 for the core of Netscape with another 25 of ancillary parts. MSIE probably one snotty guy in Visual C with huge libraries, in one afternoon. I cannot imagine more effort than that :-) (really, actually I am joking... I think MSIE cold be made with about 125+25 people, like Netscape.) I am comparing to other projects with similar millions of lines of code which I managed in the past. > What do you expect from a single person programming in his > spare time?

I think coming from you, this is a seminal message for all to help understand what it takes to program some things on the palmtop.

I'd be glad to run through this stuff with you over the next couple of days. However, I can tell you now that I have never had a problem with the menu on the right side of the file directory list. Clearly, XyWrite III+ is going to take up less memory. That's because NB4.5a has a richer feature set and a richer menued interface. If someone did not need all the features of NB4.5a, XyWrite III+ might be a suitable choice. However, that program is no longer sold, and my point was that here is a DOS wordprocessor that is being sold, that does run on the palmtop, and that does have an organization and technical support behind it. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 22:10:12 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brian McIlvaine Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brian McIlvaine Subject: FLUFF: Assembly Language MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Pete Borders wrote: >Nothing personal but that statement is the cause of the terrible >programming that exists today.

Here are the system requirements to run NB4.5a: IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or compatible, 386, 486 or Pentium 640 Memory (at least 580 Kb conventional memory available to run the program) DOS 3 or higher. A mono CGA screen is supported. The basic installation is under 2Mb. The full installation of "scholar's workstation" add-ons would require about 5Mb total.. When they say that the program will benefit from a '386 CPU or better, they are referring to the overlays for spell-checking (the issue is whether the entire overlay is loaded into XMS memory or accessed from disk, which in the case of a palmtop is a RAM drive) and the add-on full text search and retrieval feature, which works with conventional memory only anyway, but is obviously not as efficient as with a more robust processor and XMS overlays. This has nothing to do with your wordprocessing chores, and would not even seriously affect the search and retrieval function for the volume of text files likely to be kept on even a 64Mb palmtop Now, if you have a lot of drivers or TSRs in your normal configuration, NB will protest, and if they consume too much memory, it will tell you that, although it will grudgingly agree to run, not all features may be available. It has NEVER been friendly towards other resident programs as even its advocates will concede. What I do is simply clear most of this stuff out. However, I have run NB successfully with drivers for a CD-ROM, or with Tornado Notes using the Swap Utilities. Obviously, it's a case of "your mileage may vary." Because I have used this program since version 3, I enjoy an upgrader's price. However, the regular price is not out of line with what you'd have to shell out for a first-time buy of any full-featured, professional level wordprocessor on the shelf. I respect all three of the editors you have mentioned, and I have used two of them in the past, but let's remember, they are text editors and nothing more. If they serve your purpose, great. This is merely a suggestion to people who would like to have the option of carrying around a more robust program that will enable them to exchange their work-in-progress with their desktops or laptops. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 22:36:20 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: FLUFF: Marketing Comments: To: John J Vanderstel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I find the argument that `creative marketing' produces much sustainable John J Vanderstel wrote: > > I'm sure that there are many other examples that illustrate my point, > but you have given me no reason to believe that Damark is a bad example, > at all.

As far as what is poor, don't you consider an OS with hundreds of known bugs a poor piece of code? What level of bugs and related problems are OK? I understand that 100% perfect is not attainable but the current model of letting the users beta test and then fixing half the bugs and selling something is a little much. Of course it does drive the upgrade business which is also highly regarded by business. Wouldn't it be an interesting world if eveything worked like the computer software industry. Want to beta test the latest model car, it only crashes on 25% of the people, just sign this waver and have fun. Would really be fun testing those new jetliners. Human crash test dummies, what a concept. Also, if your car doesn't run very well just wait until the upgrade comes out and buy it, for a small discount over new. Also, people buy what marketing convinces them to buy, sadly to say, that is why GEOS lost, and so did everyone in the end. If efficient, bug free code was the industry standard we would probably all be talking to our computers and the AI functions would handle every wim, all on the same amount of hardware as is wasted today on bloated code.

Alot of it is last years model or something that didn't sell well. I have bought things from them in the past and they are ok to do business with.

Or, for that matter, in battery capacity. This is what I don't get, and I don't think the mass market will get it either. -roger- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 22:55:23 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Feinmanr@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Roger Feinman Subject: Re: PIM's and freeform databases.

I have Word 5.5, but it won't allow it Someone who has it may be able to suggest if it can work??? It just may need the correct screen installation??? Word 5.0 does show print preview but will soon be a problem as it is NOT y2k and apparently has fatal problems, not just date errors. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
