Observe the following cases: '|350' : you can use MEMO and maybe one additional appl for cut and paste, but - you can't use external prgrs like 'setup' - you can't use the file-select box inside POST/LX '|405' : you can use MEMO but no additional appl for cut and paste, and - you can use external prgrs like 'setup' - you can use the file-select box inside POST/LX '|xxx : where xxx=freemem - 30KB to make available all POST/LX config capabilities General points: * Close all applications (incl. Filer, f.ex using Task-List/Close-All); * Call up Appl-Mgr (&...), there should be at least 485KB Free-Memory; * You can use the POST/LX icon to start POST/LX, but after that hit '&..'/ESC to free Appl-Mgr consumed memory; * Use more than one icon for POST/LX with different '|nnn'-settings or use only one icon and edit the '|nnn'-setting according to what's up next: mail or news; setup-actions,...

How about a simpler way: If you have DOS 6.2 somewhere on a desktop installed (maybe DOS 7/Win95 have this also somewhere on CD, don't know), you have a program called Interlink (interlnk.exe and intersvr.exe). If you connect the two computers and have the two exe files on one of them (the desktop in your case), interlnk has an option you can call it with so that it transfers itself onto the other machine. Please read the manual of DOS6.2 or type 'interlnk /?' to see how to do it exactly. Then you can start interlnk on one machine and intersvr on the other one and transfer files. > > Thanks in advance for any help you can offer (like I said-- real > "beginner" stuff!).

Stefan has released version 2.0 of LXCIC to his web site (http://peichl.hplx.net). LXCIC is the leading card insertion client for the HP200LX, and now supports ethernet cards as well as modem cards. There are a number of other new features in version 2.0 which are useful even if you don't need the ethernet card support. LXCIC is now able to re-initialise ethernet cards upon power-up. I have released version 1.0 of LXETH (which contains LXEN2216) to my web site (http://rwhitby.hplx.net). LXEN2216 is a palmtop-specific packet driver for the Accton EN2216-1 ethernet card (it is also reported to work for a number of other NE2000 compatible ethernet cards). LXEN2216 is also able to take advantage of the ability of LXCIC to re-initialise ethernet cards upon power-up. The combination of LXCIC and LXEN2216 allows palmtop ethernet connections that are impervious to power-cycles (i.e. you can turn your palmtop off while the packet driver is still loaded, and everything will still work when you turn it back on again). Most palmtop TCP/IP applications (including LXMTA, LXFTP, LXTELNET, LXDNS, LXPING, LXRSH, LXINETD, TALK, HTGET, MICQ, CCLXPOP, Goin Postal and WWW/LX) can be configured to use a packet driver such as LXEN2216 over an ethernet card such as the Accton EN2216-1. Thanks to Stefan Peichl for releasing LXCIC as open-source freeware, and to Mack Baggette for sharing the source code to ETHER - without these two acts of palmtop community spirit the concept of a power-cycle imperious ethernet connection on the palmtop would not have been possible. I encourage all palmtop authors who are not selling their software to release the source code and allow future palmtop technology synergies to come to fruition. -- Rod Whitby - rwhitby@hplx.net - http://rwhitby.hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 21:57:11 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , al chin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: al chin Subject: Re: newbie questions 96MB CF is only $60 more Semper mobilis, yor pal al :-) .............

I was wondering if anyone might have some insight. The following example comes from the HP Developer's Guide: #include "lxapi.h" typedef struct { char nameÝ10¨; int id; } PHONY; LHAPIBLOCK LHAPIData; char far *FPTÝ20¨; int main (void) { PHONY far **phonyblock; /* m_init_app and other stuff */ m_init_app( SYSTEM_MANAGER_VERSION ); InitializeLHAPI( &LHAPIData ); m_reg_far(FPT, 20, 0); m_get_far_block(&phonyblock, 800L*sizeof(PHONY)); (*phonyblock)Ý0¨.id=0; strcpy((*phonyblock)Ý0¨.name,"Jolly"); m_beep(); /* m_set_far_block(phonyblock,0); */ m_fini(); } If you compile into an EXM and run this as above, with the m_set_far_block commented out, it works fine. You get a beep and it finishes, no problem. If you put in the m_set_far_block call, it locks up, requiring a CTRL-ALT-DEL reset. I am using NKIT063 from SUPER. My assumption is that there is a problem in the implementation of m_set_far_block, but as far as I can tell, the constant code is correct. If anyone has any ideas, I would certainly appreciate the help. I know that TODO.EXM has the m_set_far_block call in its code, so I presume that they were able to get it to work - does anyone know where there may be a more up to date version of NKIT than NKIT063.zip?

It is billed as a replacement for those chemical glow sticks. The Krill device uses 2 AA batteries and some jargon called "electroluminescent phosphorus" to create a green glow for up to 50 hours on a single set of batteries. It is five inches long with a velcro strip along its backside and weighs in at an ounce. Cost is $29.95. Find it by going to www.rei.com and searching for Krill. I don't know how the Krill glow stick works in "real life" but I may yet order one just to see. If anyone is near an REI store to test it, I'd love to hear your opinion of it. (Hint, hint - will someone please go to your neighborhood REI and try it out!). Also interesting is the Starlight Renewable Energy Light. This LED flashlight contains a rare-earth magnet inside a coil which, when shaken, creates a charge that is stored in batteries. As I read about it, I thought how interesting it would be for a similar power device to be used in the HP200lx. I'd always thought those angry CE users I see shaking their units to fits were just frustrated with the poor functionality of the device...maybe they're just charging it up.

Something tells me I'll soon need SED and AWK as well. There is a free Korn Shell implementation available from Simtel. I don't know exactly where, though, but it should be easy to find. Just search for 'ksh'. It's an 800kb download, BTW. as the ZIP includes not only the DOS version, but Windows and OS/2 binaries as well. I've used it for a while on my single speed 200LX and it worked nicely, if a bit slow. I expect that on a doublespeed machine it will probably work great, with EMS even better. It also comes with a fairly large manual in standard UNIX man format, so you might want to download the viewer 'less' while you're there. > While I have your attention, does anyone have a quick method (in ksh script) for > extracting the filename from the end of a pathname/filename combination? Use Perl! Sorry wrong answer ;-). I never did make many shell scripts, but I'd use backticks and sed (in other words I'd pipe the problem into something I know: sed). Something like this should work, but is no doubt inefficient: ---snip #!/usr/bin/ksh echo Full: $1 - Short: `echo "$1" | sed -e 's/¬.*\/\(.*$\)/\1/'` ---snap The regexp can look a bit confusing because of all the escapes, but it just extracts all the chars after the last slash.

The (very brief) story is about Mark Winsor (no > d) who devised a flat fluorscent lamp. Before I picked up Wired I thought this must be an e-beam fluorescent lamp (sort of a flat CRT) or an organic LED panel. But, you are correct, this looks like a conventional discharge-based fluorescent lamp. If you look carefully at the picture on page 48, the discharge path is folded into a six-tube serpentine pattern. This is necessary because discharges like to be round, they will not fill a flat space. So the flat space is covered with six pseudo-tubes. This is not a new technology. GE was selling 12" square by 1.5" thick "Panel" fluorescent lamps using molded serpentine channels such as this lamp has back in the late 1960's. The lamps were difficult to produce and therefore expensive and never made the big time. They stopped production in the mid-1970's. Most LCD backlights are either arrays of thin linear fluorescent lamps, multiple U-tube fluorescent lamps or one tubular lamp bent into a four or six leg serpentine shape. I have not yet looked to Winsor's patents, but they must be on details of construction and processing, since the basic concept is old. I do not think this has any value as a palmtop backlight. It is sure to be too thick. I assume the system Hal is working on uses a organic LED panel, which can be quite thin.

FWIW, my old 1MB 100LX screen turns black when I wear polarized sunglasses and hold the LX in "normal" orientation. It becomes readable if turned 90 deg. Other LCD devices, such as cell phone, pager, car radio and watch are OK with sunglasses in normal orientation. The most interesting device is my Garmin GPS III. This device is designed to be used either horizontally or vertically, and it does work in both orientations with polarized sun glasses. It goes black only when held at a 45 deg angle. Good design!

But because this may take some time due to the new responsibilities, I'll do it now. Thanks to Rod for explaining the new ethernet features of LXCIC. Other news are: Version 2.0 -Network Card support (ACCTON EN2216) (25-AUG-99) -Disable (passivate) LxCic with /D -Enable (activate) LxCic with /E -Modem power save with /DE after an online run -Errorlevel report also after loading resident -Command line COM selection switch removed -Command line COR selection switch removed -Prepared for Parallel and SCSI card support The new disable switch is equal to switching the palmtop off and on again with LXCIC loaded passive. That is, it does no longer configure cards, but still stays resident. You may now intermediate load another driver for your card. After removing the intermediate driver from memory, you may enable LXCIC again with the new /E switch. If you compose the disable and enable switch (LXCIC/DE), this should act like switching the palmtop off and on again with LXCIC active. Helmuth Guenther reported, that his modem keeps drawing high power after an online run unless he switches the palmtop off and on again. Instead of pressing the ON key twice, he may now execute the LXCIC/DE command after an online run. He is doing it with the PostOnline=3DLXCIC/DE feature of POST/LX. LXCIC now reports card type errorlevels also after loading resident. No more need to call LXCIC/S again to check for a card type errorlevel. The new source already includes a codefragment for parallel card support. Anybody with parallel card knowledge is welcome to complete the source. I have to admit, that all these new LXCIC features are only available, because Rod convinced me to make LXCIC open source and because he took the effort to study the code and implement the new improvements.

I believe very old versions of GhostScript could work on the 200LX. They would be PostScript level 1 only. I (for jollies) have run an old version of GoScript on my 200LX to create a PCX file to be displayed by LXPIC. GoScript by LaserGo is a PostScript clone. www.lasergo.com www.lasergo.com/support.htm Current versions seem to be 32 bit though.

In Infoselect, go to Adjust/Windows/Max Windows and set to 1. This will force IS to display only one Window at a time. Then get a program called zoom, which sets the screen resolution.

They had two models, one had just one or twp slots and the other was basically a small desktop case. They were targeted at laptop users that didn't have an expansion chassis. I can't remember the company name but I will try to find it and post it if I do. I don't know if they are still made since this was during the time that most laptops had expansion docks with card slots and that seems to have gone by the wayside with the advent of pcmcia slots in laptops. As far as a pcmcia to isa setup, there are a couple of universal laptop docks but I don't think they have isa slots, just the various io ports. I don't think that pcmcia has all the required lines to implement an isa bus. I know for a fact that the dma channels are not available on pcmcia, and are part of the isa bus standard. I don't know what other parts are missing. Cardbus to isa might be closer but I doubt that anyone has made one since most things that can be done on an isa card already come on pcmcia. Of course there are always one or two things that don't come in pcmcia versions, and that is probably exactly your problem. ;-( Pete Peter W.

I tried all sorts of things but didn't really have a lot of luke. I suspected that I had a corrupted repeating item, but I could never find it to be sure. The only real solution I found was to archive off my old entries with the File, Remove... menu. It seemed to me that the appointment book just gets slow when it is large. The really wierd thing is that this effect doesn't seemed to be linear. The app seems to work OK one day and then suddenly gets a lot slower and doesn't seem to get better without deleteing a lot of stuff.

If it's just setting up the I/O path for something else to drive the card, then it's pretty easy once you know the card details. If you want to reinitialise after power-up (like the ethernet support), then you also need those card and driver details.

Sorry, but such a version doesn't exist. Besides, the LX doesn't have enough CPU power to emulate those game at a playable speeds (well, perhaps the most simple ones, though I doubt it), even if you did manage to compile a version of the emulator and get it running on the LX. Your best bet is probably to look for DOS-based arcade-conversions/clones. Most of the older, classic arcade games (Joust, Defender, Pacman, etc.) have been more or less faithfully reprogrammed on the PC.

Have you checked both the upper and the lower slot? Do you have a modem card (or network) in one of the slots? Try moving it to the slot that won't accept the memory card. My guess is that you have a bent pin in the slot of the 800. I've straightened them in the past with wooden pencils. Be careful. If you break a pin, you are in big trouble. Lynn M.

I think the reason that backups would be slow to open is that they're usually created when the data file is still open by the palmtop. When an app has a file open, it stores only the data, but not the lookup table that tells it where everything is. When an app closes, it writes the lookup table so that it's fast to open next time. However, if a backup is made of an open file, or if you reboot without closing an app, then the data file on the disk has no lookup table, and it has to be created when the file opens, and this takes some time. It doesn't sound like this is the problem with your main appt file, though. You might want to do a dbcheck with the "/d" switch, and go over all the data items to see if any are suspicious. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 03:57:01 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

It worked fine in my HP200 and in my Gateway laptop, but wouldn't insert in my wife's Compaq laptop. After close examination, I discovered that the metal on the sides of the card near the connector was not fastened to the plastic. This allowed the metal to protrude (making the card thicker). To test my theory, I folded a piece of paper over the card and then inserted it, making holes in the paper as the pins pierced the paper on their way into the pc card connector. The paper forced the metal together and allowed insertion. I don't know if this is your problem, but it sounds similar.

Here are the changes: - REP.IDX is a new index used for repeating items. If nothing changed within the repeated items, this index is loaded instead of computing all the items anew each time. This makes startup of PIM.EXE considerably faster if repeated items are used a lot. - Slightly optimized checking off upon startup of PIM.EXE - PE: If the last line in PE.MAC was not terminated with a CR/LF, it was not interpreted correctly. - Renamed APPTS.I3 to ITEMS.IDX and FILES.I3 to FILES.IDX - Improved sorting speed - If DefDur= is set in the ÝPIM¨ section of PIM.CFG, the given number of minutes is used as the default duration for appointments. The author prefers Shift-F3, F3 to set the duration of appointments! - A new sorting order ("computed") is introduced. It tries to sort tasks according to importance and urgency. The algorithm is still an "alpha" version. See HELP.PIM for more information. - When a search went accross the "no items before this" item, it caused a Null Pointer Assignment. - Added a "hour glass" for operations that can take longer. - "Find" also found items that were not displayed in the current view. - Menu File Print (or Ctrl-P) prints an ASCII representation to a file. - PE: The day of week is now displayed on +., +( and +( lines. Can be turned off by using Weekday=0 in the ÝDisplay¨ section of PE.CFG - If ItemSpace= is set to a value higher than the default 16000 (maximum is 65000), then memory outside of the default data space is allocated. This allows you to see more appointments and tasks, but PIM.EXE needs more memory. - PE: in older versions, PE warned if there was another instance of PE open. The new version only warns if a file should be opened that is already open in another instance of PE. - Added sorting by done date. - PE: Formatting now retains the indentation of the first and second line in a paragraph and uses the same indentation for the rest of the paragraph as in the second line. - If Emmentaler=1 is set in the ÝDisplay¨ section of PIM.CFG, the "Done Tasks" view also shows appointments. - PE: Esc Q (upper case Q) formats a paragraph assuming it is a list, i.e. trying to preserve proper indentations for a list. - The DATE key lets you change the start date of an item. - PE: the screen now starts shifting left only when after the last screen column is reached. Was one earlier before. IMPORTANT: Run PIM -r as the first command with the new version, otherwise the application will crash!

I have the same version of ABC/LX as you (1/31/96, 39,409 bytes) and use it all the time to charge my 1450 mAh NiMH, on my 2x/6mb 200LX running EMS. Your CONF1.CON file is built by ABC/LX when your configure (F2) and represents the start charge voltage, the stop-at voltage, etc.... you shouldn't need to change this file except by modifying ABC/LX using F2. I get 12 hours (user time, measured by ABC/LX) using these settings: Start: 2.35 v Stop: 2.92 v Stall: 6:00 Total: 16:00 Trickle: 0:00 It looks like your stall and total charge times are lower than mine. Even tho our rated capacities are similar, it's difficult to make sweeping generalizations since the batteries tend to vary widely in performance across manufacturers (mine are Olympus). Your current settings may be undercharging the batteries and you should follow the ABC/LX documention on auto-tuning the configuration settings to get the best performance. It usually takes several charges to work out the details, and you'll want to monitor the charging curve to see where the charging is stalling. If I've missed your point entirely, I'm sure Avi or Andreas can comment more on your problem. - Longden "Raymond, Timothy CPT--13CPAO" on 09/03/99 10:26:36 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to "Raymond, Timothy CPT--13CPAO" To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: ABC/LX Power Drain?

Needless to say I am more than interested! When you start up ABC.EXE and press F2, what values do you see? It seems to me that your values are a bit off balance. For example, I think your F2 shows to start charging at 2.68V, and you can take it down to 2.40V or thereabouts. I think your setup shows stall time of about 1:57 or so and you can probably jack it up to 3:00. Lastly, it seems to me your setup says stop charging after 10 hours. That is apparently insufficient to fill up the battery, how about making it 16:00? Longden posted his own F2 parameters, you can try them and see what happens. I understand that you got these values from Autotune. There are caveats about using autotune: The major note is that it does not work too well with new batteries, since they are themselves "moving targets", i.e. their parameters are not stable for a few cycles. The second issue is that full batteries will yield lousy results, because they give the process the appearance of a battery in a status other than when you would normally start charging. In the example you gave, it is possible the batteries were quite full, as indicated by the starting voltage and low charge time. From the ABC/LX Documentation: ---------- In order to tune ABCTSR for your batteries, they should not be completely new (i.e., almost empty) nor fully charged. If your batteries are completely new, charge them first. If they are fully charged, use them in the palmtop for about one or two hours before you start tuning. Also, tuning takes as few as 3 hours and up to 12 hours, and you must run ABC.EXE as the topmost application during that time (i.e. the screen shows this application at all times.) If you are not ready to tune ABCTSR, reply "No" to the tuning question. You can tune it later (e.g., overnight) by choosing "Auto-Tune" from the "Setup" menu. ---------- > As a disclaimer Ýthat augments the last para.¨, this is strictly my > *perception* - I know there are MANY satisfied ABC/LX customers out there; > so I'm not panning or putting the product down ... just seeking knowledge... > Ýdon't want Andreus to get mad, I like his software!!!¨ Andreas is not nearly the monster he is made out to be here...

Heck I've got SSC and I don't think the program itself conflicts with what you use, since Andreas runs on his own machine ABC/LX and SC and the double speed drivers and Times2Tech drivers, and I suspect he would have noticed a conflict. I have a very similar setup. It is possible that the program got corrupted, but that is not likely. My speculation: You need to give the battery much more charging time... Avi M.

It is similar to running mono8025 before IS, but without the side effects (if you are under Sysmgr, mono8025 can cause unpredictable results). Just remember to reload IS before you'll see the difference. Color 7 is the best. This advice renews my opinion that it is not necessary to run IS with only one window showing (that kills one of the charms of the program).

I have been running ABC/LX for some months now. I have not noticed that it "doubled battery consumption" or even increased it in any way. I think Longden's comments about your charging parameters are probably worth heeding. When I switched from 1100 mAH NiMHs to the heftier DigiKey batteries, I tried letting ABC/LX auto-tune. I'm pretty sure that what it came up with isn't charging them fully; certainly it is different from what I was using on the 1100 mAH cells, and the new batteries are acting totally different as well. The run times I've gotten on my first three runs were 25.8 hours (yes, really!), 19.3 hours, and 12.8 hours. It looks like the fourth cycle, which I'm in the midst of now, will be shorter yet. (By the way, for those who would suggest that it's impartial discharge to blame: when I noticed the falling times, I installed Mack's KillMsg program to shut off the low battery warning, and am running the batteries right down to 2.0V. I would *not* recommend this to most folks; if you start doing flash card writes or serial comm with the battery in the low area you will see things die *very* quickly. I am only doing this as research to get a handle on how my batteries behave.) When I run the batteries down this time, I'm going to change the ABC/LX settings to what's been recommended before on the list (similar to the numbers Longen gave you) and see if things don't work better. My suspicion is that ABC/LX may "tune" more for NiCads than NiMHs. I can't comment on the loss of time even when you've charged the batteries externally, unless the shortened cycles have somehow impaired the capacity of the batteries. Let's hope not! Perhaps someone with more knowledge of NiMH chemistry than I can comment? As to tracking the voltage, take a look at BattLog. This is an absolutely *phenomenal* program that will tell you everything you'd ever want to know about your batteries and usage. The shareware version is fully enabled; it just has a little "nag" requester that pops up from time to time, and it's not even horribly annoying. (I just registered earlier this week but haven't gotten my unlock key yet.) You can learn more about BattLog at http://www.ieirisoft.com/battlog/. I don't know of any reason it wouldn't coexist with SC or Buddy.

He could use KEY200 to remap the keyboard. Or create his own setup for keybez. This would have the advantage of letting him have both keyboard mappings available. Both programs are on the Hp200 d: drive and are documented in the palmtop. I would imagine it would take quite a bit of work (several hours - no programming experience required) to set up both programs and then he would need some kind of keyboard overlay to show where the keys are (another couple of hours). This is possible with 2.5mm rub on letters. To sum up: it is a lot of work, I dont think anyone has tried it before, but it is definitely possible. ====================== David Becher davidb@netmedia.net.il davidb@cimatron.co.il ====================== ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 22:53:25 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , bobv Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: bobv Subject: Re: Power Drain?

That would highly surprise me. ABCTSR very rarely (in terms of CPU cycles) jumps in and measures the voltage to see what to be done. This takes very little of the palmtop's resources. When you changed your configuration, what else did you change? I rather assume something else makes the difference.

I had to have |288 for the post.exe program. Then I had to maxdos the peh.bat in the setup. This works, but is a bit slow because I have to swap to the _a_ drive (1 mb Hp 200..).

I start Post/lx from one off three icons in the sysmgr: 1. Start only Post/lx with maxdos. I use Pe for writing mail. (Sysmgr/Memo does not work.) 2. Start www.exe/post/lx with maxdos when using the Hp200 with a external modem. (Sysmgr/Memo does not work) 3. Start Post/Lx without maxdos with Sysmgr in the background. In 1 & 2 I use Pe for writing email. This works well. I want to use PE when I use 3. too.

This had to be done by removing all batteries (including backup) and pressing/holding the ON key for a minute or so to drain the system. Apparently, there is memory on the LX that will persist even thru a Shift-Ctrl-On reboot (this memory holds some configuration information) and sometimes clearing this out will fix the problem. Otherwise, there's always Thaddeus. 2 days on alkaline (unused even) is a tad on the gluttonous side. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 4 Sep 1999 10:42:44 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mike McGregor Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike McGregor Subject: Re: Wish List for Digest In-Reply-To: <199909041116.LAA45164@out1.ibm.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The classic way to handle this is just to create a mail filter within your email reader that automatically moves the email from a given sender into a seperate folder.

Seems to me that some PDF files are simply scanned-in images, so there is no textual information to extract, unless one has an OCR program. I've run across this in the past with older electronic parts data sheets sometimes. Maybe an OCR program can accept such a file as input and produce text output?

Andreas suggested to move the file to where I wanted.. There is no direct way to mark a bunch of messages and then use Shift-Save to write them all out to a file you name. The Shift-Save only works on the current message. You have to accommplish what you want by marking a bunch of messages and then use Save to send them to a folder. Then rename and/or move this folder file to wherever you want it to me. You can just keep a folder handy called Export. It is empty most of the time. Put a bunch of messages in it as I mentioned above, and then rename/move the EXPORT.I file because that will have those messages in it that you want.

I thought the "best" charging happened during the slow trickle charge(?). Looks like the ABC timers (w/ the TSR) are going to run in all three SSC sessions that I've got set up; so I should get a more accurate measure of use time with this new setup. Is there another way to see the timers (than going into the menu to potentially reset them)? Also, do I go by the User timer or the Battery timer and does either reset automatically, after the recharge? <>. I remember folks saying (on this list) that they couldn't be without their LXs for 16 hours worth of charging and will prob. keep the route of charging the batteries externally - I just imagine that it is not as thorough as the ABC/LX-managed charge....

There is no problem transferring binary files from the 95LX to the 200LX, but only at 2400bps, which is the maximum speed the 95LX's IR port can handle. You can use the built-in Comms program in both palmtops. The best protocol to use is probably Xmodem, as sadly Zmodem (which would have been preferable) is not supported by the 95LX. If you have access to a laptop with an IR port, then you can most likely also use that to transfer the files to the 200LX, but at much higher speeds.

I assume it rather depends on the printer than on DOS. Most probably, the default character set of the printer is ASCII and in order to set up the correct character set, you need to send it an initialisation string. For my printer (Pentax Pocketjet) this is (8U This needs to be sent to the printer before the text is sent.

For the user. Imagine editing a line where the cursor position and the text you enter are offset four characters. You want to delete that "x", so you place the cursor to where you would normally place it, then move four columns to the left (because you *know* it actually is there and not where you see it) and then you press backspace.

If your pdf has multiple columns of text you are in for a lot of work getting the file fixed. In that case, scanning the printed doc may be a saner option. (If you don't have a scanner, you could try faxing it to yourself and using the fax's OCR functions) Or use Acrobat's Access plug-in and hand select text and copy it page by page. (the access plug-in seems to recognize columns ok) 2. I think there is a patch out there so that Ghostscript can open an encrypted pdf - I don't have it so I don't know if you can skip the printing to a postscript file in step 3. FWIW, I think you may be ok exporting the text you've paid for to a format you can use but you should honor the publisher's rights and not distribute the text file to anyone else...

Some of the HPHAND authors had graciously made copies of their products available to SUPER, but I think a wholesale piping of HPHAND to SUPER, or any general non-HPHAND access to the HPHAND library would entail some significant legal footwork (if it is even possible). As a non-HPHAND member, I have no idea about the contents (size and quality) vs SUPER, and while I would love to browse their library, I could certainly empathize with the poor soul who has to do the legal homework/paperwork to make this happen. - Longden mws722s on 09/07/99 06:57:05 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to mws722s To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: HPHAND Library Mirror?

Pdf's aren't just Postscript anymore. I have v3.0 of Acrobat Exchange (the program that creates .pdf files) and know that there were issues in creating the files with backwards compatiblity for 2.0. By using 2.0 compatible files, I didn't have any trouble viewing with AcroDos. (v1.0) But there are lots of pitfalls; I know that one I hate is jazzed-up text that has been created as a graphic. It's really too bad that Adobe made such inroads with Acrobat before HTML became so widespread. But I don't think it's going to go away, especially with the ability to take a Pagemaker/Quark document and make it available electronically with just a few clicks. Companies love it, consumers don't count, I guess.

They are all made up of `objects' which are pointed at structures that represent the pages, indexes, thumbnails, ... (2) However, PDFs are made up of `Objects' which can be just about anything that Adobe chooses to support: (a) Fragments of PostScript, a very general purpose display language that requires substantial hardware or an elaborate interpreter to resolve; (b) Bit `images' in any of several formats; (c) Compressed versions of the above; (d) Encrypted versions of the above; and (e) Whatever else Adobe wants to support in Acrobat. ACROBAT surely reads them all (or else Adobe is making some incredible mistake) as .PDF was designed just for such a purpose. As a result Acrobat (and its support .DLLs) is huge. The Acrobat `Distiller' will translate PostScript into PDF. Lots of programs in the `TeX' suite also will generate .PDF. IIRC, Ghostscript will also, in some versions, generate .PDF. Last, and by no means least, any program is welcome to create .PDFs directly, although one does have to be quite careful to keep all of the `pointers' straight. al chin wrote: > > David > You mean not all PDF files are alike? > What pgms make PDF files? > Doesn't ACROBAT read them all? > > Semper mobilis, > yor pal al :-) ............. > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 11:49:19 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Terry Owen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Terry Owen Subject: Re: pdf to txt - the hard way Comments: To: Terry Owen In-Reply-To: <905E9D83F703D311BE970000E8404C3309D71D@qds-mail.quintrex.c om> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" A quick refinement to what I wrote below: The extract text function in Ghostview does seem to recognize columns in pdf files, however I did have one pdf where there where bunches of text in the wrong place. It may have been boxed text, not columns as I indicated before. But any magazine type format is going to have chunks of text placed in awkward places, since most don't put the whole article in complete, but continue at the back of the magazine. So you may still end up with a large reformatting job to make the text readable. Terry >1. If your pdf has multiple columns of text you are in for a lot of work >getting the file fixed.

Are you familiar with TeX or LaTeX? If not, go to a public library and have a look into a LaTeX book. There is a very good book about LaTeX written by Leslie Lamport. LaTeX is one of the best "word processing" softwares I've ever seen. It's a little bit tricky to configure and to undedrstand, but it runs on the palmtop. Even the new version, LaTeX 2e, runs well on my DS upgraded machine. It takes about 5-6 MB disk space.

I've gone through the HPLX.NET FAQ, but can't find any info there on using flashcards, and of course no docs came with the the card. Hopefully it's just ignorance on my part regarding installation & use of flashcards.

Al, does the unit work with the card if it is plugged into the AC adapter? if so, the card may draw too much power from the pc card slot. Good luck!

I did uninstall it and installed it again. Now it is working. Great to have the hp200lx as a full working client on the net, isn't it! Did you swap to another session? Did you return to the network session and networking did resume operation? I tried, I swapped to POST/LX session, POST/LX already open, just for reading (no connection at all). Once swapping was completed to the POST/LX session, the hp200lx did freeze. Recovery, only Crtl-Alt-Del. Will go for the maps next.

This is a limitation of a file system. Of course there are tools that allow to bind a long name to a file and those tools can show you the long name instead of the file name. But the file name is still 8+3 character max.

Thanks Mack; I tried your suggestion and it cleared things up so I can now use the FlashDisk.. Matter of fact, I can use either card with the line "device=c:\tflxm\lxm.drv" in config.sys remmed out. The modem works fine, however the 2 mb of memory on it's card, which is assigned to be drive "F", is inaccessible with that line remmed out. For those familiar with the ThinFax Modem Cards: Is there a way to set up config.sys so that I can simply swap the ThinFax Modem/Memory card and the FlashDisk and have drive "F" available without having to rem & unrem the "device=" line? Reading the docs for the ThinFax Modem Card, it describes the procedure to install it, the default assignment being F for the 2 mb of memory on it. The manual goes on to say that the EXP's Flash driver (lxmdrv.sys)should load AFTER any other flashcard's driver. Is there a driver for the SanDisk Card that I can position in Config.sys, or is the FlashDisk a different breed, which doesn't use an external driver? I'm way over my head in this area, so any additional help would be appreciated!

Copy your autoexec.bat & config.sys to the 20 meg ram card. then setup the system to look at the A drive for config.sys first, C drive second. Then the line for the F drive can be left intact in the C drive config.sys and remed out on the the A drive config.sys ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 21:14:46 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Dan Carrington Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dan Carrington Subject: Multi application managers in SC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit So, I have finally installed Software Carrousel.

To unload the driver you can first issue a MARK command before the DRVLOAD and later use RELEASE to unload the driver and the MARK from memory.

Here is what I did. I made a file called mykeys.txt and put it into my root directory, and it looks like this: QUICKEN : CTRL PHONE ¬PHONE ¬CTRL Then in my autoexec.bat file there is this line: KEY200 C:\MYKEYS.TXT Also in my autoexec.bat file is a path statement that includes: PATH d:\bin If you don't want to add the above path to your path statement, you could just add the full path name to the KEY200 file in the d:\bin directory, and same thing with the MYKEYS.TXT file, it could be put into a sub-directory and a full path added to the line in the autoexec.bat file. After rebooting, each time I hit the Quicken key, the database opens. Hope this helps.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi all, instead of searching for a 200LX repleacement that may never came I decided to buy a third palmtop. It arrived today from Tom Rundel (outstanding service there) in Germany stuffed with T2T 64MB and DS upgrades to join its two little (but older) brothers DS 8MB and DS 5MB. Now I feel trully unsured against HP moods . I've only two worries: 1 - To swap or not swap the F: and C: drives? 2 - How to backup the bigger drive? I only have an 40 MB IBM SSF card (and a 16MB IBM Thinkpad PC Card). Can the 40MB store all the 64MB drive if I zip the files? Strategies for backing up? Help would be appreciated.

There's a slight increased thickness in the middle of the card, and when I forced it (and it did take some forcing) in the HP, I noticed the HP's seam was pulling apart. Even so, the drivers for the external PCMCIA model don't work with the HP. They require, as far as I can tell, an AT level (i.e. 9-15) IRQ as it is a "secondary" IDE controller.

I'll guess that your serial port is configured as 7 bit which is stripping the high order bit of each byte and changing those special characters which need it. Try changing it to 8,N,1 (on both ends of the serial connection). cheers...

LXTCP is open-source, so there is no such thing as a "forget it" statement :-) Anyone is free to make any addition to LXTCP - you just need to find someone who can do it, and who is willing to release it as open source (ccLXPOP is the example that proves that it's possible). At the moment, the only instance of the technology for communicating with phones via IR is the proprietary property of D&A Software (as is their well-earned right, as they developed it, and wish to make money from it). For LXTCP to support IR, either the technology would have to be released by D&A Software and then incorporated in DosPPP (which is difficult cause we don't have the source to DosPPP and the author has gone AWOL), or reproduced by someone else and then incorporated into DosPPP (even more difficult), or www.exe (the WWW/LX TCP/IP engine) changed to be able to provide a packet driver interface to the IR communication backbone (this depends upon the good graces of D&A Software, or maybe a business decision that there is a market for selling www.exe as a general packet driver interface upon which people could choose to run LXTCP and other packet-driver based applications). So it is possible, but out of my hands - as I don't have the knowledge, time nor inclination to reproduce the IR communication technology and also work out how to recreate the latest version of DosPPP from the source code we do have, and then add the IR code to it. I don't even have a mobile phone (and don't particularly want one, either). -- Rod Whitby - rwhitby@hplx.net - http://rwhitby.hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 21:19:48 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Re: My insurance against discontinuation...

Besides, after you download your Website, it is a good opportunity to fire up that as-yet-unknown or as-yet-unwritten utility and let it do the work... As an aside, I found the following intriguing comment in the GET.DOC: (GET is on our Website http://www.dasoft.com - link to FTP SITE, then WWW... ) ---------- From GET.DOC ---------- Note that when GET downloads a document, it also modifies it. In many cases, links in documents on the Web are relative to the document itself and not complete URLs. GET modifies the documents when downloaded so that all links are complete URLs. This is required so that HV can place a complete URL into GET.DAT. Otherwise, HV would have no clue where the document came from. If you want to use GET to download a document and *not* modify it, start it with a "-o" option to download the original document. ---------- I wonder what it would take to make GET a Website "grabber"?

I'll sketch it out, though. After doing a websuck (I was using webcopy), I ran a perl script over it to convert it to 8+3 filenames, editing the links. The approach I took, because it was easiest to code, was to map the names onto some really simple filenames that didn't happen to occur in any website I websucked: aaaaaaaa.htm, aaaaaaab.htm, etc. So it was something like (off the top of my head, untested): #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use IO::File; # Filenames come from stdin; build renaming map my %ren; my $fn = 'aaaaaaaa'; while (<>) { chomp; $ren{$_} = $fn++ . '.htm'; } # Build regexps to do renaming my %repl = map { qr/\Q$_/, $ren{$_} } keys %ren; # Edit the files, writing the versions with modified links for $fn (keys %ren) { my $fi = IO::File->new("<$fn") || die "$fn: $!\n"; my $fo = IO::File->new(">$ren{$fn}") || die "$ren{$fn}: $!\n"; while (defined($_ = $fi->getline)) { while (my($p, $s) = each %repl) { s/$p/$s/; } $fo->print($_); } } Probably have a bug or two in there that need fixing, but that's reasonably close. I didn't try and recognize the context of HTML links, nor to take a site that was coded with absolute links and make them relative; I just handled the longnames->8+3 issue for already-local heirarchies, ignoring the possibility that a match for a filename might occur in the running text (it never did that I recall). Now I only use Linux, but I think that's sufficiently straightforward perl that it ought to work identically under any recent ActiveState perl for windows. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 10:03:49 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Using SH888 IR with LXTCP Comments: To: davidb@netmedia.net.il MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Fri, 10 Sep 1999 09:12:11 +1000, A jolly David Becher eked the following screed from the tip of his fingers, while allegedly awake :-) --- > To summarise: > > Once a jolly Motorola Software Engineer camped by a billabong > Under the shade of a coolibah tree > And he sang as he watched and waited for LXTCP to IR to his SH888 > "You'll come a www/lx from dasoft!" said he. > > Sorry, I couldnt resist You could have, and you should have! :-) Happy New Year to you and all others who celebrate the Jewish New Year!

It's a seperate program (avail. on SUPER) that xfinder is set up to use. You launch XFS on your desktop and hit remoteÝC,D¨ in xfinder and carry out file operations on your LX. Oddly enough, it was easier to setup on my NT machine, I can hit ESC and set parameters, on my Win98 machine I have to set parameters as switches when I launch XFS; the ESC to get to the menu doesn't work. There are built-in backup icons for tha A and C drives in xfinder, I don't use them so I don't know how well they work, I just zip and transfer the zip file.

I remember downloading a websucking utility from PC Magazine's home page (or rather Ziff-Davies net) and it did this conversion automatically. In fact, for any tool that exists in both a 16bit (Win 3.x) and 32bit (Win 9x) version (Websuck might...), you can be reasonably sure that the 16bit version will do filename conversions (as Win 3.1 doesn't support long filenames), so that might be a solution also.

Not being a big xfinder user (yet), moving around is a bit quirky. And I did not see a "remote c/d" "place." And for some reason (is it limited to how many files it can show like Filer is limited to first 128 or so) I could not see files on the desktop that I wanted to copy. But it is fast. And it worked on Win95 without much problem. I'm sure I don't have xfinder (xfiler???) setup correctly. Occasionally, I got locked and could not cursor up or down a list. It would seem fixed on one file and only move one way but not the other.

I assume that most of those feelings are a result of my "double role". I visit this list as a private person in my free time (you might notice that I neither use a D&A email address nor any D&A tag in my messages).

As a representative of D&A, I am supposed to be careful and word each message properly, showing a lot of patience - the kind of patience our people at support@dasoft.com show, not because it is their nature, but because it is their job. As a private person, however, I feel entitled to express my feelings and opinions and post messages the way I like, e.g. terse if I am in a hurry and ignoring messages if I don't feel like answering them. Now the problem seems to be that I post messages as a private person, but people read it as a message written by a D&A representative. This of course can cause bad mood. If enough people on the list agree it is better that I don't post here, I will shut up completely. Being here as a representative of D&A is not an option because I simply have no time for that.

Andreas, no one wants to chase you away, or at least I don't. I just wish that you could try to temper some of your extremely trite responses. Sometimes you seem to distance us (the users of your products) when we = try to discuss them with you. An example would be Al asking for password protection for PE. Depending on what your mood is you might respond favorably or you might go off the deep end and tell us that he can't have password protection because it's a dumb, stupid idea and you can't understand why anyone would want such a feature. You probably don't mean = to cause any hard feelings with these kneejerk reactions, but many people, myself included are not used to being responded to in such a manner. You = get mad when we compare your products sometimes. An example would be a recent thread where someone was talking about PE/PIM vs. Agenda (I think it was Agenda). Rather than saying that you didn't think you could achieve what = he was asking, you really seemed (to me at least) to go off on him in an inappropriate manner. I don't want to be the villan of this discussion group. I try to help = those that I can with the limited knowledge that I have. I'm not a software designer; I'm just a software user. I can not count the number of times = that in private emails and newsgroup postings that I have referred people to = your company for LX software. I will continue to do so. I will use your IRC client because I need a software solution in that = arena for my LX.

Please at least take = this bit of advice from me. Print out the manual pages for ircII and study = them. A good IRC client MUST be able to do DCC file transfers, DCC chat and provide the user with a way to alias his true identity, such as can be = done with mIRC.

I also = ask that you familiarize yourself with the way the various IRC networks = operate. The three most popular are dal.net, undernet and efnet.

The author of it = is unreachable, which is a shame. Another problem is that it isn't usable on the undernet network.

The closest thing I've seen is the Writer's Toolkit, which includes the "Dictionary of Common Knowledge," which has little mini-articles on lots of stuff. It goes beyond a dictionary definition, but is nowhere near a real encyclopedia. I think there's also a Project Gutenberg effort to get a plain-text public domain encyclopedia done, but last time I checked they had only done one volume. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 13:14:43 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: MicroLibrary CD-ROM: 16 Dictionaries and Spell Checkers: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sat, 11 Sep 1999, Reinhard Mueller wrote: > Is there a webpage where I could find information about the > MicroLibrary?

And I sure wish they would make some progress. Even though it doesn't say what it is, I'm fairly certain that it is the 11th Edition of the Encyclopedia Britanica. Its a little dated, but for things that happened before WW I, it is arguably the finest encyclopedia ever written. It is objective, scholarly, and certainly not clouded by our current "political correctness." Lynn M.

I hope you continue to post. I suggest you take a page from Alan Solomon (of Dr. Solomon's Anti Virus). He was very active in the anti virus newsgroups and mailing lists. Some of the steps he took include: Boilerplate messages. Alan kept a huge number of stock answers to old/basic and whining questions. A short one-paragraph reply and a second paragraph directing them to the company, phone, BBS, & website for detailed information. Disclaimer. He had a disclaimer signature in every message. It briefly reminded folks that he was acting as a private individual and told them how to contact tech support for Dr. Solomon products. Forwarded the majority of the messages he received, from those who ignored his disclaimer, to the tech support e-mail and at the same time sent them a brief stock message informing them that due to his time constraints their message had been forwarded. Kept a filter of certain people and automatically forwarded their messages to a tech support person. Kept a filter of certain people and automatically deleted their messages.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sat, 11 Sep 1999 21:55:26 -0400 (EDT) Hey Gang -- If you would like to beta test a reworked version of Charge-It! (a battery charge control program) email me, and I'll send you a copy. If you've used or are using the old version, this is a major update. This version eliminates the need to start the program from a batch file to set parameters. It now creates a small config file in c:\_dat and uses that. It creates this the first time it's run using preset defaults, and you can change it by hitting F2 after starting Charge-It! This is very different from the version I recently sent Mitch. That one has only some cosmetic changes. The final version will be slightly different - I'm already testing an improved copy. When I'm done with that I hope you'll want to try it. Thanks in advance. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 21:09:48 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Robert Hocking Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Robert Hocking Subject: Re: Double role, part 1 of 2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit --- begin of part 1 of 2 --- > If enough people on the list agree it is better that I don't post here, > I will shut up completely.

Andreas, I was not on the list long enough to remember you being on the list, and then breaking away from the list, for whatever reason. I do recall Avi talking about why you left, and I have been on the list long enough, to recall your return to the list. I for one am glad that you are able to spend the time to read and post to the list, as an author. I have been flamed and embarrsed here on the list many times, over the years, by Avi, for asking a question. It was usually because the question I had asked, was not first searched, by me, throughly in the help files. Even though I have been publicly flamed and embarrsed by Avi many times, I get over it, and have always be able to move on with a positive attitude toward Avi, and D&A. I have read many postings from Avi, where he is so frustrated at us list members, that he sometimes just looses it. But I do feel that after exchanging many private emails with Avi that he really is a good person, and I try to understand that sometimes he gets very frustrated by being asked the same questions, over and over again, and feels that we just don't listen very well. I, as you may know, use many of D&A's programs, WWW/LX, ABC/LX and PE, and am very thankfull for them. My use of my LX would be much more limited, if it were not for these programs. Many times I have posted that I would financially support any future developemnt in some of the programs from D&A. I have even posted replies to you in regards to this, and you have always blew me off, and were so short & rude to me. The one that sticks most in my mind is in reference to PE. I use PE to compose almost all of my emails and letters. I once posted how nice it would be, to be able to control the left margin, because I wanted to be able to print nicely formatted documents, and your response to me was so rude, in my opinion. You wrote back that PE was not a word processor, and if I wanted one, I should go out and buy one. Well like I already said, I use PE almost exclusively, and it interfaces so well with POST/LX, that I just wanted to see a few improvements, and I even stated I would be happy to pay for it. I wasn't asking for something for free, even though PE is freeware. I was, and still am, willing to pay for any enhancements, that would help me compose better documents. So shortly after you blew me off, telling me that PE was not a word processor, a few weeks later you introduced the left margin control into an upgraded PE version. When I seen that, I publicly thanked you, and then made the stupid mistake of asking for something else. I don't recall exactly what it was, but it was something like top & bottom margin control, or a right margin control, rather than the wrap setting, I don't exactly remember. Your usual reply to me, was that everybody asks for so much, that you would punish us all, and take out the left margin control in the next release of PE. What a childess response that was! That was so uncalled for. I mean grow up! I was not trying to get you to do something for free, I was willing to pay for it, and I would guess that there might be enough other PE users out there, that depend of PE, that might also be willing to pay for an upgraded version. --- end of part 1 of 2 --- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 21:09:53 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Robert Hocking Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Robert Hocking Subject: Re: Double role, part 2 of 2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit --- begin of part 2 of 2 --- So shortly after you blew me off, telling me that PE was not a word processor, a few weeks later you introduced the left margin control into an upgraded PE version.

You have treated not only me, but many other list members like crap, and I don't feel they deserved it either! One minute you ask for the list memembers time, to try out a product that you are developing, and then the next minute your cutting them down, because you are so quick with the slams. Just like Jeff, I too want to make sure that it is clear that my heart and my intentions of this posting does not get mis-read. I am thankfull for the information conveyed in the many posts from you and Avi, as individuals, and as reps of D&A. I also hear the frustration when it seems that we list memebers ask the same stupid questions over, and over again. But one of my favorite quotes that I tell me kids over and over again is: "No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions". Andreas, I will continue to read and post to this list, even though I know I may get flamed, or put down by Avi & you, but I also know that your two talents have developed products that I use every day, and would not want to be without. I also hope that whatever road the future holds, as to the device that will be the replacement for the LX, that D&A is able continue to develop products that will enhance that device's capibility, and that I am able to continue to purchase, and use their products. I have a few things that I wish PE could do better, but I don't dare bring them up, for I know I would be setting myself up for you to jump on me all over again. I have even receintly download WORD 5.5, and tried it. It has some wondersful things in it, that would help me create a more intellegent looking document, but it also does not save in ASCII format by default, so I have since scrapped it, and went back to using PE. I don't need all the fancy bells and whistles of a high powered word processor, I just need the basics, such as format control, and a good spell checker and thesaurus. So I continue to use PE, as it is, and have my Franklin Electronic Dictionary and Thesaurus sitting next to my LX, while composing documents. Seems crazy that I have to have two electronic devices, just to be able to compose a document, but that is how I do. I would like to see you to continue to post here on the list. I would also like to see you and Avi, to be a little (or a lot) more patient with us list members, when we post a question, that seems so stupid in your minds, or not properly researched, because we are not the brillant super users that you two are. I think that if you two could just sometimes find a way to either lighten up your quick and sharp replies, or do like my mother always told me, that if you don't have anything good to say, say nothing at all, in those instances where you just could ring our necks, or however you two feel, when you are so fed up with our stupid questions. Just my two cents worth, and I have put up my asbostoes flameproof shields, prepared for the flames from yours and Avi's replies. On a closing note, keep up the great work on the wonderful products you guys, and thank you for all your time and expertise in reading and posting to this list.

I'm toying with the idea of ripping out the internals of the 200lx (preserving the keyboard and screen) - and installing either a Jumptec 486 DIMM-PC or a CellComputing "commodity" micromotherboard. www.jumptec.com/dimmpcf.html www.cellcomputing.com Heck - we should all get together and design the "200LX followon" since HP is doing such a lousy job with WinCE. -Jeffrey Chung jeffrey@jdchung.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 01:41:26 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hans Peter Staber Subject: Re: Double Role MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Andreas, > From a few recent postings, I conclude that there seem to be some bad > feelings towards my person and D&A Software Inc. among members of this > list.

Everybody is constantly sending and recieving and prone to unbiased antenna's. I don't think that anybody in the palmtop family wants to be rude on purpose.

But I've been on HPHAND on Compuserve for many years and I've never seen anything from either Avi or Andreas that I would consider rude. Maybe things have changed. But what I see above doesn't indicate that it has. To a programmer, a text editor and a word processor are not the same thing and the easiest way to hurt either one of them is to give it the features of the other. They are two different animals. It seems to me that Avi was simply saying that, probably in a humorous way. Unless there was more to it than you stated. Most non-programmers see text editors as being similar to word processors, and of course they do have a lot in common. But they're geared toward an entirely different purpose. Programmers want to be able to do simple repetitive formatting with as few keypresses and as little thought as possible so as not to lose track of the complex logic problems they're working on. Text editors require as little thought as possible. The formatting is simple and the means to it are known by the programmer's fingers. Word processor users don't care as much about a few extra keypresses. They want easy access to complex formatting capabilities. That requires thought and attention from the user. Maybe Avi should have taken the time to say something like that, but to a programmer it's so very obvious that it's hard to realize that someone doesn't see the difference. It's sometimes hard to stop thinking like a programmer. Also there's the fact that to a lot of programmers, their text editor is an object of adoration. On programming newsgroups there used to be long, tedious religious wars over which text editor was best. These still occur but by now most programmers have accepted the fact that users of other editors simply have a few parts missing and just can't help it. My favorite editor over the years has been qedit (now tse) and, being a patient person, I don't express my feelings about the idiots that prefer emacs. They can't help being what they are and there's no point in hurting their feelings. They didn't choose to be born that way. But, if one were to suggest adding new fonts to qedit, I'd probably start being in favor of the death penalty.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" <> We still aren't quite ready for beta testing. I'd be curious of people's responses to one of my concerns. Part of the upgrade involves replacing the reflective layer. The end result is that in non-backlighting conditions, the screen looks a little different and has slightly different characteristics. "Objectively", I think it is definitely an improvement. It (with backlight off) is more readable in bright sunlight and in dimmer conditions than the normal screen. However, it may take some people a little while getting used to the difference. The first half hour, I didn't like it much. It seemed to have almost a tinny look. After that, I ended up liking the new screen better -- so much so that I didn't want to go back to the older screen when it was time to give up my prototype. In other words it took a little while to get used to the difference. I am VERY concerned about the potential number of returns. Even 1 in 5 would be a lot for us to process and create a great strain in our operation. The suggestions to prevent this are 1) Be clear about differences in marketing literature and end user documentation 2) Post a picture of the screen on the web and in our literature Number 2 in my mind may cause as many problems as it solves as of course using a unit is quite different than seeing an image of it -- even if the image were a reasonable representation which I have my doubts.

How big is it when compressed? When compressed, it takes abt. 3.2 MB. You have to decompress it first (then you have abt. 6.5 MB (you can do that on your desktop machine), then copy abt. 5 MB of that onto your palmtop. The rest are files needed for configuration, you need a few of them for your custom configuration. (Sorry - a little bit too long to explain it here. I wrote all about it in the readme file).

If it's easier to read both in bright and dim light, I doubt too many will complain about a different "look." Especially when you add the backlight aspect to the equation. But I also think your concern is warranted. >1) Be clear about differences in marketing literature and end user documentation Be clear. Be very clear. 8¬) This is vitally important. Say it several times, in several different ways, in several different places. Tell them it's irreversible; they buy it, it's theirs. Make people really *think* about whether they want to take the risk. Initially, this might reduce your sales, as you may "scare away" those who would have bought otherwise. But get some out in the field where people can see for themselves, and I expect those "would-haves" will come right back and buy. Even so, you're not going to eliminate all complaints. (I just sold a TR4 tape on eBay -- a TAPE; the ad clearly said "TR4 cartridge" and "compatible with all TR4 drives" -- and the winning bidder thought he was buying a tape DRIVE. Some people Just Don't Read.) You're going to get some returns no matter what you do, I'd expect. You may have to accept that as part of the bargain. But remember, that gives you a machine you can refurbish and then sell as a backlit machine to people who don't want to send you their only machine. (And, see below.) >2) Post a picture of the screen on the web and in our literature > >Number 2 in my mind may cause as many problems as it solves as of course >using a unit is quite different than seeing an image of it -- even if the >image were a reasonable representation which I have my doubts. Very true. About the best you can do is use a number of shots at different angles and illuminations and, again, stress that the thing looks *different*, it may take some getting used to, and that some simply won't like it. >I am open for people's ideas -- we want to be fair to the customer and at >the same time create a profitable operation backlighting screens. Well, you could build up a couple of backlit refurbs in the most common memory/speed configurations. People interested but not sure could then buy a backlit refurb. If they hate it, they ship it back, minus "X" dollars for shipping and your trouble. They get to try one for minimal financial investment, and you get your machine back to sell to someone else. If they like it, though, they have three or four options: * Keep the refurb machine; deal done. This is good for first-time owners that have no other machine, or for people like me who are paranoid and want backup units. * Keep the refurb machine and send their machine back, for which you credit most of the difference in price between an upgrade and the refurb (minus shipping/handling etc.) You then have another machine to refurb and backlight for the next person. * Keep the refurb machine and send their machine in for backlighting too, in which case you get two sales where you might only have gotten one. * Maybe even: Send their machine in for backlighting and return yours at the same time. This route is sort of like a "loaner" plan. There are a number of variations on this, but the main idea is to give people a chance to see what they're getting first (ala #2). Suggestion: Get some machines out there in the field however you can. Arrange loaners for some of the user's groups (One of the better-known LX user's groups is right here in Richmond, Virginia. (And no, that's not a bid to get a machine; I'm aware of their existence but I'm not a member.)) Do what it takes to upgrade the most vocal, public, LX-positive people on this list and elsewhere. ANYTHING that improves the chances that John Doe can see a machine first-hand before plunking down his money, reduces the chances you'll have to refund. Hope these thoughts help in some way.

If an initial investment of time would guarantee me ease of use later on, I would try it again. I tried it when I was a college student, and searched the literature on the net, but found no assurance of eventual ease of use, or of automating most tasks.

Hal, the first LX I got was a new 200LX 4 meg unit, and the second one I got was a used 200 LX 1 meg unit. I used the 4 meg unit for quite a while, before getting the used 1 meg unit. When I got the used 1 meg unit, I noticed that the screens were different. The 1 meg unit's screen has a greenish hue, and the 4 meg unit has a tanish hue. I personally feel the greenish hue screen is easier to read, and that is the unit I sent to your company to get upgraded. I know that there are differences between different LX's, only because I had two different ones to compair. I would more than welcome another different looking screen to be able to have a backlight. Also if it is easier to read outside while in the sunlight, that would suit me fine, spending as much time pool side as I can. Another question I had was how many fingers did they break before they were able to pry that prototype out of your hands? :-) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 18:51:34 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Colin Thompson Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Colin Thompson Subject: Re: Backlight Project Status?

If you decide to return the unit, there will be an $YY.YY fee for the return, and you will not get back your original display, you will get one from another machine. Then, for $ZZ.ZZ (which is $XXX.XX - $YY.YY=$ZZ.ZZ) we will swap your standard display for a previously backlit-enhanced unit. This will keep you from having to un-do upgrades, instead you will swap display assemblys. I would also *require* that people sign a form stating the above, written in very clear language.

I'll echo another poster's sentiment and question. Can you quantify "tinny". You mentioned that the screen is more readable...put yourself in the role of devil's advocate and think of where "tinny" will fail you for some reason, compared to the native screen. This would be a reason for a return. Another possible test, use LXSTAT to turn the contrast down to the lowest setting that is still viewable and then do the same for a regular unit... how do the LXSTAT numbers compare? A website image would be useful, tho I agree that images will vary from user to user. Try running LXSTAT to get the same constrast setting on two machines (plain and modified) and show the resulting screens side by side. Lastly, what about power usage. The best screen in the world won't sell the upgrade if you lose a lot of battery life. Having an automatic timeout feature (software controllable) would be a nice plus. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 02:39:18 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Add what?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Thank you for all the feedback! A couple of comments. First, although it is in my nature to want to share (and I think it is helpful business wise), I have to be careful. Remember, until we are well along in beta testing, anything I might say about the prototype is subject to change. In fact I am going to get a new protoype which solves some of the concerns which I didn't bring up here that uses a different film. So, whatever "tinny" means (I am not sure how to explain that anyway) may now no longer relevant. Also, there is still a chance, we will never bring the product to market. I am as anxious as anyone to have a backlit 200LX and bring the product to market. However, if I talk about it here, please don't hold on to anything I say about characteristics or problems or strengths. We are still at the prototype stage and things are still changing and improving. As an example of such a statement that states where we are at now, but might not be the case in the final product: If a person has backlighting on 1/4 the time he will degrade battery performance less than 10%. As to return policy, your feedback is helpful. I would really prefer to stay with our 30 day return, no questions asked, no restocking fee policy. I think when a company says that, it is stating we stand behind our product, we believe in it, and our success depends on whether you are satisfied. However, the particular subjective nature of this backlighting product, and the expense of processing returns, may make us consider a restocking fee. We will be trying to solicit a representative sample of opinions during beta testing once we feel good about the product. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 17:04:44 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: Internet connection via COM1 on a desktop.

This is almost exactly what I want too do also. I will have a isdn connection to the internet soon. I want to share this internetconnection with my other computers. I can do this with Win98 SE. It would be nice to get www/lx/hp connected via the com port to access mail/news when I am online with the desktop. I also could connect my laptop with my desktop in a network and run www/lx from the pcmcia slot. I guess this setup would be quicker since the hp has a slower processor then my pentium laptop..

I feel tempted to say RTFM, but I'm far too nice a guy to do a thing like that ;-) However, I did look in the manual, and it appears that pkzip does wildcard expansion on the arguments given to the -x command (and in filelists too), so there would be no need give it a complete list of all files in the directory. This means that using '-xc:\dontzip\*.*' would exclude all the files in the directory (but not the directory itself, I'd imagine). In fact, you might even get away with simply using '-xc:\dontzip\' to exclude the complete directory. (this was the manual for PKZIP v2.50, BTW., and not the older 2.04g. PKWare don't have the older version on their home page any more it appears, but they claim 2.50 it is backwards compatible with 2.04) Jeff, why not try it out and let the list know how it goes?

What I did was create a file list and named it list.txt and use the following line to backup: pkzip -es -rP -whs -Jhrs -x@c:\stereo\list.txt a:\cdrive.zip c:\*.* By using the file list, I can add other file names as needed or remove = them as needed.

Check your manual to see if the printer will automatically switch modes or if you have to push some buttons to make it. If you're printing from the built-in apps, your best bet is to use Setup to make the system printer the IBM Proprinter.

Also, you'll need to get the IR-port driver from S.U.P.E.R. in order to enable your IR port to send data to the BJC.

If you're not comfortable taking apart your LX, I wouldn't recommend it. As noted in the guide on hplx.net, it can get tricky.

I'm sure they're out there but seem (to me at least) more uncommon than busted screens and good boards. If anyone at thaddeus can comment on that, I'd be interested in knowing. The problem then becomes, should you find an LX for less than the cost of getting it repaired you'll still have a broken LX which you'd want fixed and the cycle starts again. So eventually you still need to get it repaired anyway, though if you wait a while you may have a rather extensive collection of LXs. --francois ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 13:55:53 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Blah...Just Blah.."

Right now there is a waiting list to buy used palmtops from us. That ebbs and flows as we usually have been able to make big buys. Right now we are negotiating for a huge number of units that will become available next year -- let's hope. The worst we've been backed up was about 5 or 6 weeks.

So, if you want to experiment and will at least assure me I'll end up with something that still works, I'll be happy to pay the price for the backlit screen (assuming it's not too much) and promise not to return it even if I don't like it. And if I do like it, I'll say so a lot. :) Barry >>>>>Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 11:25:46 -0500 From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Re: Backlight Project Status? <> We still aren't quite ready for beta testing. I'd be curious of people's responses to one of my concerns. Part of the upgrade involves replacing the reflective layer. The end result is that in non-backlighting conditions, the screen looks a little different and has slightly different characteristics. "Objectively", I think it is definitely an improvement. It (with backlight off) is more readable in bright sunlight and in dimmer conditions than the normal screen. However, it may take some people a little while getting used to the difference. The first half hour, I didn't like it much. It seemed to have almost a tinny look. After that, I ended up liking the new screen better -- so much so that I didn't want to go back to the older screen when it was time to give up my prototype. In other words it took a little while to get used to the difference. I am VERY concerned about the potential number of returns. Even 1 in 5 would be a lot for us to process and create a great strain in our operation. The suggestions to prevent this are 1) Be clear about differences in marketing literature and end user documentation 2) Post a picture of the screen on the web and in our literature Number 2 in my mind may cause as many problems as it solves as of course using a unit is quite different than seeing an image of it -- even if the image were a reasonable representation which I have my doubts. I am open for people's ideas -- we want to be fair to the customer and at the same time create a profitable operation backlighting screens.<<<< ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 17:25:47 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , al chin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: al chin Subject: Re: Maps Thank you for suggestion.

HV just does not do anything like that. It will ship those long file names as-is from the HTML source off to the web server to fetch them, but it has no provisions inside of itself to convert those long file names to anything useful on the DOS operating system of the palmtop. Someone else recommended a Windows-based program to do this kind of work for you. This just goes to show how much work an operation like you are asking about requires. I just don't think it is practical on the palmtop.

There is nothing you can do about that. You can set up a system where you reboot when changing flashcards and the EXP driver will load if booting with that card in the slot and won't load when the Sandisk card is in the slot. During boot, the palmtop looks for CONFIG.SYS in A drive first. If it finds one there, it loads it and then looks for AUTOEXEC.BAT in the same spot. If the palmtop does not find a CONFIG.SYS on A:, it looks on C: next. Etc. So, if you have a CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT on the C: and A: (Sandisk) drives that are the same, except that the one on the Sandisk card does not have the EXP driver, the you have two slightly different boot configurations. When you boot with the Sandisk in there, the A:\CONFIG.SYS will be used and no EXP driver will load. If you boot with the EXP card in the slot, there will not be any A:\CONFIG.SYS so it will use the one on C: and the EXP driver will load.

If you're not familiar with LaTeX and don't have time or patience or simply the will to learn it, you'll never be happy with it. LaTeX is not easy to use. There are some programs that automate things in LaTeX this way that you can enter your text into a window, press a "bold" button to make the marked text bold, press an 'italics" button to make the marked text italic.... but that's not the sense of LaTeX -- this _is_not_ LaTeX, but it is a clumsy attempt to make LaTeX 'usable for everyone'. (Sorry, I don't really want to compare you with 'everyone' and I also don't want to say that 'everyone' is too dumb to use LaTeX ;-) ) > Does using it feel like word processing or like programming? That's the > catch, I think. You're right. Writing in LaTeX is more like programming that like word provessing: You enter a source code into a text editor, you compile this source code and get a DVI-file (DeVice Independant). Then you need drivers with fonts to either make this DVI-file readable on your display or to send it to your printer. It's not WYSIWYG.

Status report from my PIM Quest: As some of you may remember, I am on a quest for a good and preferably structured approach to Personal Information Management. I got hold of Agenda, and have been using it for a month. WITHOUT including minutes from meetings or budget files etc, and using the relatively simple PLANNER app supplied with Agenda, the following points emerge: 1) Agenda is SLOOOW. It takes 20 seconds to sort a daily view, I have to wait that long each time I start up Agenda. My data file is now over 200k. 2) When people ask me, "When can we meet?" It takes me too long to answer. I have no easy way to view my free time, and even if I created a "free time filter" it would take too long to display. 3) I have had 2 data crashes, - I believe this is because of errors in file copying, or my files may have become corrupted when using a task switcher. 4) Agenda on the desktop is not aware of my mouse. So, heeding Andreas' advice I downloaded PIM/PE - full willing to pay him a handsome "finders fee" if it worked for me. My suffering in the hands of PIM/PE is described below: 1) No instructions. I have installed it on my palmtop - all files in one directory, A:\PIM. (D:\PIM on my desktop using PALRUN). On the desktop running "palrun -r pe" all I get is a blank, white screen. Pressing to bring up HELP, PE thinks I asked it to create a file "pe.hlp", thus giving me a blank screen to stare at... And "Yes" I have read the instructions in the zip archive, and "Yes", I have modified pe.cfg and pim.cfg to use the correct paths "d:\pim". Wasted appx two working days in trying to get it operational. Still isn't. 2) No description of what the PIM program is actually supposed to do. Andreas describes how HE uses it for some tasks, but supplies the software without his macros and utility files that would allow me to follow in his footsteps. The PIM screen does not display my PE file. S/W complains about missing time-stamp. No mention of timestamp in PE.DOC. (Mentioned in PIM doc's but following the procedure still does not satisfy PIM that file is correctly timestamped...) Appointments entered with same start date seemingly non-browsable in PIM. Etc, etc etc... 3) No explanation of all configuration parameters and options in the docu's. 4) PIM uses LOTS of codes to be inserted in the PIM file, but where are the menu items/macros that insert them? Suggestions: 1) Someone on the list that actually uses PIM/PE for something useful, writes a short succinct "users manual" that starts with what the software does, and how to make it do it. Preferably not Andreas, as he is busy doing other usefull stuff. 2) Andreas includes his file structure and utilities (palrun, grep, macros etc) in the zip file. 3) Someone (I might) writes an explicit installation and "Getting started" manual. Purpose: I sense from comments on this list and from Andreas' brief descriptions that this s/w combo might be a really useful addition to the Palmtop addressing some of the shortcomings of the built-in applications. This is, however, complex software that has a learning curve more like the north face of the Eiger. You need some serious hand-holding to make it to the top without bruises. Since it stores data in pure ASCII files, it makes it easy to interface PIM/PE to other utilities. I also like the "journal metaphor" to organising my life. Being ASCII-based it interfaces easily to other add-ons and its use of categories allow you to structure your tasks. It also seems to run pretty quick on a palmtop. So I'm motivated to soldier on into Andreas' way of thinking, but I would like it to be an easier path and invite previous explorers to share their travel diaries with the LX community...

LaTeX 2e runs not too fast on the LX, that's a fact. It depends on what size of documents you're used to write: The bigger your document the more time you have to wait (during compilation of the source code). The inputting of the source code is fast - there you use a normal text editor - for example PE. Then you have to compile it - that takes time. On my Double Speed LX it takes about 5 sec per page plus about 30 seconds per document (loading of the macro files and packages), so you have to wait about 1 minute for the compilation process if your document has 6 pages. On an single speeed LX it takes (as far as my experiences show) _more_ than twice as much time! After you compiled the source code, you can display the compiled file or print it. For that you need fonts.Every font you want to use has to be generated. Once a font is generated, it don't has to be genereated once more. The generation of one font takes about 5 minutes (DS). There are font library files, that contain often used fonts, you can install such a file, if you have enough room on your disk (abt. 500-1000 kB), then only sometimes a font has to be generated. > I have no exp. with LaTeX, and have only been working with my > LX for a short while...

For that reason I've upgraded mine only with double speed and 6 MB.

Status report from my PIM Quest: I told you about agenda. I'm happily using PIM/PE and went through the learning curve after reading the doc's and help file's of PE and PIM about 18 times. I still have them in PE to be called with the shortcut F6. If you need "good" printing capabilities you might stay with the built in applications. If you prefer ASCII and excellent cross-file search capabilities you should consider PIM/PE. I'm too bussy to write an introduction to PE/PIM but think that the availlable help files should be sufficient. Now to the PALRUN problem : look into the doc's of palrun to run it with the right switch for your video display. I call POST/LX and PE on my desktop without any problems. For my laptop the command is PALRUN -c c:\path\pe.exe. There is a problem with PIM - the video somehow shifts the 80 character line into two overlapping lines. Don't know a solution to that. Timestamps: they are an open issue. You might ignore the error message for files which do not hold any appointments or tasks.

I would imagine per the PKware agreement, the program can be freely distributed, as long as it is not modified, so why not get pkzip added to S.U.P.E.R.? But why not add the latest version? Why would we consider adding the older version 2.04g, when the only downward compatibility problems, between the newer version, and the older versions, is if an user packs the file, using the new extreme pack switch, which would prevent the older versions from being able to unpack them.

I spent about 30 minutes this morning trying to track down this program, and am a little confused. Datastorm Technoligies, the authors, were sold to Quarterdeck, who in turn seems to have been sold to Symantec. The Symantec website lists PCPLUS v2.01 and v3.0 for DOS as still being actively sold, although no tech support is available. But I couldn't find anywhere on the website to buy, or even get info, on PCPLUS for DOS.

Of course I meant "contemplation" - but I have no idea how my finger jumped from c to a on the keyboard. But I think the temperature on the list is way too high - really, not every post is intended to be a cut at someone. Sure, maybe it was reasonable to assume that Jeff _could have_ guessed the word, and Jeff just wanted to "get back at me" - but probably not. Flaming him is just as uncalled for as flaming anyone else - even if the message they post _seems_ offensive to the reader. (I know some of you smile sarcastically now - look who is writing about uncalled flames? :-) ... Well, please read on.) I want to suggest a possible way around some of the bad feelings. Ask. "Did you really mean to demean me? Your post said such and such, I took it to mean this. Did you intend that? Why? If not, tell me so and if necessary, tell the list." Hans Peter Staber posted about this a few days ago. His position, as I interpreted it, was that many problems come from the lack of appreciation a poster has for _how_ his/her post will come across. Language plays a lot into this. We are not all native English speakers, and even among the "native" speakers, there are huge difference in the usage of the language (e.g. UK, US, NZ, Australia). Also, when I compose a message, I may be in a specific mood, and a comment like my "additional qualification for betas" are amusing to me. But they caused terrific ill feelings when someone else read them. I can tell you all that I was smiling when I wrote to Jeff and Tony about this, and it was just really funny to me. But I never expected that Jeff would be offended that it was demeaning of him. So these factors creep in all the time. I am sure this post will probably grate on someone too. Frankly, I have been thinking about it long and hard and I am really not sure I should even post it - _someone_ will get ticked off. Please, if you feel that way, write to me and ask me if I meant to offend before you adopt this feeling. But maybe this methodology will help create a "kinder, gentler" atmosphere in the list. I would like to be part of the solution to this, not just part of the problem ... Avi PS: I will no longer post here as a representative of D&A Software, but only as a private person.

Had a chance to test that on a desktop machine. Could reproduce that behaviour. PIM writes beyond the right screen edge. The palmtop ignores such writes (clips them) while PALRUN keeps on writing, which writes text to other parts of the screen. Should be easy to fix in PALRUN. Will email you a fixed copy.

Oh, it was! When finding it, I was amazed that nobody (especially me) seemed to have stumbled across this before. Seems I have never used HEX2BIN with just a part of the file and that part included a single LF. When PE writes out a piece of a file to disk, it opens the created file in *text-mode*. This means that LFs are extended to CRLFs. That's the way those additional CRs appeared. This is fixed now in the version of PE that is available from www.dasoft.com. Thanks for reporting that bug! BTW, that version of PE also retains a double space after a period when using ESC Q or ESC q. Andreas The above is my private and personal opinion and not in any way related to D&A Software Inc.

Years ago, I ran one from standard DOS PC with no problems. An important point, as I recall, is that ImageWriters expect to see a null modem connection, unlike normal PC serial printers. Your best cable option is to use the HP-LX serial cable plus a straight adapter or Apple *modem* cable to make it fit the ImageWriter's 8-pin DIN socket. (The HP-LX serial cable is null modem. If you connect it to an Apple *printer* cable, which is usually also null modem, you'll probably cancel out the necessary signals. In a case like this, I think you would need a third null modem adapter to restore the null modem signal!) Other than that, set your serial port to 9600,8N1 and you should be fine. By the way, an ImageWriter uses a C-Itoh engine, so your best driver choices will be either ImageWriter or C-Itoh 8510. Hope this helps & let us know how it goes.

Later they sold out and the user interface got screwed up. But the early qmodem was easier to use and gave more control that Procomm. I'd have to dig but I probably have shareware distributions somewhere of both programs. I've never used a modem with my 200lx so I don't know if they will work with it. On that topic, I recently bought a 14.4 Megahertz X-jack modem to try out with the 200lx. Not that I have any use for it but it was $15 and I thought it might be fun to play with.

I don't know of such a software and don't believe that it exists, because it would make no sense to just add a comment to a JPG. All JPG viewers just skip the comments (and application segments), because they cannot know what kind of data is stored in there. This only works, if you have a software, which writes a JPG image and allows you to add a comment and then displays this comment together with the picture. Software packaged with digital cameras works that way. But if you watch these pictures with other viewers, the comment are not accessible, because there is no JPG specification for data in comments and application segments. It is completely up to the application, what is kept there, and how it should be processed. LXPIC as a viewer just skips comments and application segments.

The same effect is seen if the LX gets warm as from sitting in the sun. The contrast will revert back to normal when the charging stops (such as when you reboot). Alternatively, you can adjust the screen using On- and On+ until the charging is done. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 15:36:55 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tamas Feher Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tamas Feher Subject: Re: text description inside JPEG, Pocket Quicken for WinCE, etc. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all, I think LxPic could be given the ability to display text info embed- ded inside JPEG file application segment with some effort, but writing data into that area of an existing image is pro- bably more complicated and not likely to be implemented. However, what new features you get in next LxPic release mainly depends on the number of letters you send to Stefan Peichl, I guess. Surely backlight enhanced screen makes viewing pictures on palmtop more realistic/useful. Have you heard that OnTheGO Software Corp. ships Pocket Quicken for WinCE? Everyone should not get a life and a Jornada. With PQuicken on Jornada you can easily calculate how much it cost you to enter the color- ful world of Microsoft... If anyone knows the pinout of the Accton EN2212-2 card connector cable (the end which goes into the card body, with a 15-pin flat plug), please tel me.

However, there are some Windows and Mac programs that can do this for certain types of formats. I hadn't heard of them doing it with JPEGs though, mainly with TIFFs, PostScript files, .CPTs and .PSDs. That doesn't mean they can't though, I suppose. If you a program that can display the comments within JPEG files, then it should, if programmed well, allow you to change them too. I don't know of any LX-based solutions though. __MS__ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 12:39:30 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , aguze118 Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: aguze118 Subject: Re: ANN: LaTeX2e for palmtop now avialable!

In 1996, I decided to _work_ at Microsoft on Pegasus (Windows CE). Prior to joining Microsoft, I sold my 200LX to my brother-in-law -- thinking WinCE would be the 'future'. Two weeks ago, I just purchased a new 200LX from onsale.com. ;) After selling my first 200LX, I went through: Pilot, PalmPilot III, Psion 5, and most recently a Jornada 820. I haven't found anything as functional as the 200LX. The extensibility (even excluding the ability to run DOS apps) is amazing. Everything else on the market is really just eye-candy. I'm back to running the 200LX and more productive as ever. -Jeffrey Chung jeffrey@jdchung.com > I've been thinking of getting one of the palmpilot-style windows CE > machines.

Your decision really depends on what you want out of a handheld computer. If you want a computer that can run full-blown word processors, spreadsheets, mathematical programs, medical applications, databases... then your best bet would be the LX. If however, on the other hand, you wish to use a device (and this is more true of the Palm series) that will serve mainly as an expensive dayplanner, you should choose the Palm PC. There are some advantages of CE however; since it is Microsoft's child and backed by numerous OEMs, more and more developers are creating software for it (see www.jimmy.com for a very fun example). Peripheral manufacturers will also follow suit as they have already begun to. This will in all likelihood take a long time however. At present, the main advantages the CE machines have over the LXes is in the area of multimedia. If you buy a Nino 3xx with its grayscale screen however, you lose out on video playing so the only multimedia advantage you get is audio (which I must admit is a big plus). If I were to go back into the CE market however, I would never return using a Palm-sized PC. If you think the LX's keyboard slows you down (and I don't), wait till you have to mess around with the horrible, tedious and annoying slowness you'll encounter when using a keyboardless computer. (You could pony up Software is also a problem here; right now, there is a lot more software available for the H/PC. This is partly because the H/PC has been around longer, partly because it has a keyboard, and partly because it's more powerful. Try surfing the Internet (oh wait, I forgot palm-sized PCs don't even have a Web browser!). Try not giving up in frustration as you try to write in arcane Unix commands in a telnet program. Try writing something more than 8 paragraphs long. Try writing or compiling a program. With a P/PC you can't do any of that. In short: If you decide to depart from the joys of LX now without missing out on your favorite LX features, I'd recommend buying an H/PC with all its numerous advantages. __MS__ PS And despite all the criticisms we LXers have of the H/PCs, they do at least have a great Web browser in PIE 3 ;-) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 16:23:17 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Terry Owen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Terry Owen Subject: rocket e-book Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Has anyone had a look at these gadgets?

I'm new to the list and was wondering how we as loyal LXers can avoid having to throw away all of our DOS investments. Does anyone think it realistically possible for the LX community (I hate it how people abuse this word but that really is what LX users are ;-) to create a _real_ replacement for the 200LX? Not pie-in-the-sky wishlists but an actual computer you can hold in your hand. The Times2Tech upgrades are a good start but we're still trapped in a 16-bit, CGA world. I'm not an engineer but surely there must be some way that you can cram a 486 into a LX-sized package isn't there? The Jornada 680 has a 133 MHz processor inside and it's not _that_ much bigger than an LX. I know that such small chips do exist and I for one wouldn't mind having to use a NiMH battery pack if that were the price to pay for multimedia, wireless networking, Linux, Windows, etc. And what about displays? Color displays needn't suck your batteries dry. The Sharp Zaruses in Japan have color displays (what issue of H/PC Mag was it that had the story in it, Hal?) and can run on a pair of AAs for 15 hours or so. Why doesn't anyone put this technology to work in a DOS-compatible handheld? I can see a few reasons why HP went into CE (fear of being a maverick, fear of Microsoft retaliation in the far bigger desktop and laptop markets, not a large enough market (though that's mainly due to poor advertising), expense...) but I'm certain there is a market for such a device as I've described: probably everyone on this list, HP-HAND, and nearly every upgrade purchaser would be very interested not to mention the large number of scientists, government agencies, and corporations who'd have much more of a use for a Windows-based palmtop than a DOS-only one. Bottom line: What can _we_ do to see that a replacement for the 200LX comes out in 3 years or less? __MS__ Unrelated: Why do very few handheld manufacturers target education markets? How many teachers and students do you think would be interested in a computer that is ultraportable and hard to screw up? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 17:12:34 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , KJH Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: KJH Subject: Re: thinking of taking the plunge into palm windows CE Comments: To: Ed Padin In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have a Casio e-11 palm "pc" sitting unused.

I'm an employee of NuvoMedia, makers of the Rocket eBook, and also the author of the desktop reader (the eRocket). Currently, the RocketEditions you can buy from B&N and Powells are encrypted and can only be read on a specific Rocket eBook. eRocket, the desktop reader, cannot read encrypted RocketEditions. However, using RocketWriter, you can create unencrypted RocketEditions from web pages or other HTML or ASCII source. There's quite a library of unencrypted RocketEditions available at www.rocket-library.com. In theory, you could extract the HTML from an unencrypted RocketEdition and display it using any browser (HV for example). I'm not sure if we've made the RocketEdition format public but I'm positive one of the clever folks on this list could figure it out if they wanted to. But, before going to all that effort, I'd suggest rethinking the idea of reading books on the HPLX. Now I'm not putting down the HPLX. I own two and use one daily. They are great little computers. But as far as an electronic book goes, there's really no comparison with the Rocket eBook. The HPLX lacks the screen quality, backlight and ergonomic design of the Rocket eBook and really can't (in my opinion) be used for serious reading. Don't just take my word for it, though. You can try out a Rocket eBook at some B&N stores and other places (like Frys and CompUSA). You can find out more or download the eRocket at www.rocket-ebook.com.

I'm 50 years old, and my eyes aren't what they used to be, but I read everything from the Bible to poetry to public domain fiction on my palmtop.

Just wanted to weigh in for the opposition here. While a Rocket eBook (or however they spell it) may well be a nicer book-reader than an LX, it's not a nicer computer. And while many folks don't like reading etexts on pocket computers, there are also many of us who do. I got hooked on the habit as a happy LX user, and have continued now that I've shifted to the Palm Pilot. A Rocket eBook wouldn't be with me _all_ the time the way my LX used to be and my Pilot is now. Sure, paper has way nicer contrast and readability, but it's also bulkier --- infinitely bulkier, if the computer will be with you anyway for other reasons. So etexts let me have books with me all the time, without needing to carry anything I wouldn't already be carrying. And while books may be nicer, I personally prefer an etext on an LX or a Pilot over a hardback; the weight and bulk are a hassle. Paperbacks, yes, they're nicer than an etext, if the book isn't too long. But this is pure taste. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 21:11:17 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bennett Todd Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bennett Todd Subject: Re: rocket e-book In-Reply-To: <1aab8e78.25143e1a@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 1999-09-17-21:00:10 Lynn M.

I agree with all Lynn said. And the topic of using books legally in ways that the seller didn't intend reminds me of another topic: anybody happen to know what equipment and software are required to take a printed book and turn it into an etext? (Yes, I know "OCR", I don't know what model scanner and what brand of software.) I've got a _Lot_ of books I want to carry around with me. All of Heinlein, all of Jack Vance, .... -Bennett P.S. Yes, I know they won't all fit in my Pilot, but they'll all fit in my Sony Vaio 505TX --- 2.7lbs, tiny --- which is with me whenever I travel anywhere, at home and at work, and the Vaio does file xfer with the pilot via IR.

Frankly, for carrying phone numbers with me, it's a lot nicer than the 200lx. It also wasn't hard to get my 200lx phone book into it. The problem with the Palm is that the applications are much more limited than the 200lx apps. If you want to use it for anything more than phone numbers, there is a fair to middling file program you can buy. I did buy it. But it's not nearly as powerful or easy to use as the 200lx database. I looked at the WinCE handhelds, too. Their apps are even less powerful and the OS is hard to use compared to the Palm. However, I'm still tempted by the Casio 105 because of it's multimedia capabilities. I like to listen to audiobooks and they're becomming available in mp3 format now. And there are some nice games for it. But the quality of serious software that's available for any of these machines doesn't come close to what we have for the 200lx. Not in terms of features and not in terms of user interface. Also, programming on the unit is an important factor for me. I use Turbo C and Turbo asm on the 200lx and have for years. It works out very well. There are a number of interpreted and slow languages for the Palm devices and the WinCE devices, but there is only one serious language for them and that's Quartus Forth on the Palm. I've been playing with that, some. But I really hate GUI programming and you're kind of forced into at least some of that on the palm. I have 3 200lx's. I bought a second one when I thought my first one was ruined after a drop in the water. I bought a third from a pawn shop at a very low price. So I'll have them to use for a long time. I only have one Palm Pilot. When it goes, it goes. But I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I basically ruined my own screen by applying too much WD40 to the right hinge which was also broken. I am in the UK and still got the palmtop back in 2 weeks. Then I think maybe some residual WD40 may have caused more pixels to go in the screen and Thaddeus honoured the 90 day warranty And I have it back again. Absolutely first class service. I've never dealt with a better company! I also got it upgraded to 32MB to make the repair worrhwhile :) Now I can't believe the difference in productivity as I have about 8-10 SC sessions going.

But I never received my copy, though they billed my credit card for $4, and Davis said even HE didn't get a copy, and the publisher pushed the date back about six months, so he was going to look elsewhere.

It sounds interesting but I'm sure it would take quite a bit of persuading to get those folks to develop software that is compatible for either DOS, much less System Manager since the primary OS for the group is the Psion EPOC system. They've come out with some new products already, which I haven't heard much about. And while I think it's an interesting idea, I would ideally try to put more of an emphasis on creating an improved LX (i.e. one with a a 486, etc.) wouldn't you?

Usually things like this are described in a BNF format. For example, as I look at the adb file I see their is some form of header at the top of the file and there then seems to be a section that contains the contents of each of the records within the database. In the adb I'm looking at right now it appears to have some interesting strings within it such as "hcD" various strings that start with (or contain) an "&" a "#" or a "@", some of the strings appear to be terminated by a ":" At this point I'm making a bunch of guesses what each of them mean, some look like multi-line records (although this may just be an artefact of the viewer wrapping the line). The reason I would like to get a full and complete description of these files is that I'm interested in writing a parser for them that would sit inside Outlook (using VBA).

I found that Graphics Workshop added comments which were readable by RDJPGCOM (the DOS utility to read comments in the JPG) and vice versa so there seems to be a defacto standard of some kind, although rarely used and not defined past generic text. In any case the software I found will suit the purpose I have in mind, that is to add a description to my "photos" that actually stays with them as they get transferred between OS's and file systems and can be extracted at a later date. It is, as you say, dependant on the applications involved.

Next, I believe strongly that people are either 'pen' people or 'keyboard' people. For a while I thought I was a 'pen' person (on the strength of the Newton, and weakness of the WinCE H/PC's), but have realized that I am a 'keyboard' person. You should try to assess yourself, and only buy what meets your style. Hint: if you immediately look for keyboard shortcuts on a new Windows application, you are probably not a pen person... There are two major Palm-sized contenders, WinCE and Palm. I believe that utility is the difference, not simply multimedia. Sure, the WinCE Palm systems have great multimedia - the Casio E10x is pretty amazing in that department. However, the PIM is the weakest I've used, the speed is anemic given the power of the hardware, the battery life terrible, and ActiveSync - like most Microsoft apps - _can_ do terrible things to your system (I've been fairly lucky, but our MIS has forbidden its' installation as it conflicts with their disk image and completely trashes the system!). If you want to sync with anything but Outlook, you have to run the app separately, it won't integrate into ActiveSync. Then their is Palm - no fancy color screen, no big speaker, no way to play 'Phantom Menace' previews or MP3's - it just works. The PIM is very good, the system response if very fast, the apps very nice, and you get 'conduits', so anyone can get one to sync to anything (there is a very nice spreadsheet app QuickSheet that synchronizes spreadsheets!) The Palm Desktop software is simple and painless, I've never seen it trash a system! Even the H/PC's are very weak in the app department. You can't graph in Excel, work is very limited, Powerpoint is read only, there is no 'drafts' folder in Inbox, the list just goes on. On the other hand, the HP J680 was the first WinCE system that I thought was faster than the HP200LX - I didn't believe it when I was told that the Psion 5mx was faster (it is!) To sum up, if you decide you are a 'pen' person, and want to do primarily 'real' work, get either a used Newton (MP2000 or 2100 only) or preferably a Palm. The Visor from HandSpring looks interesting, especially because of its' expandability. If you want a video/mp3 toy that you can store some stuff on, get a Casio E105 and a _big_ compact flash card. If you are a 'keyboard' person, I would suggest the Psion 5mx. You will miss the numeric keypad, but there is a nice buch of software out there and a lot of '200-ish' features (like the notetaker ... I still love that after all these years!). I can't recommend the HP680 due to reliability problems I had (I had three sent to me from service before I got rid of it, only time I ever had to do that) Now that I've sold you so strongly, I do have a Nino 312 I'm lloking to get rid of and will sell for $100, if you are interested!

I just got my old 200LX back from Thaddeus today. Before I sent it, the display had flaked out (due to the hinge crack I think). Besides the major hinge crack, there were scratches on the bezel around the display, and the cover latch was broken. Now the unit looks brand-new. The keyboard even feels like a new unit, but it might be my imagination. The only way I could tell it's not is that I recognize the wear patterns that were on the underside of the case.

LXMTA now supports SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 and NNTP. So if you're stuck with an ISP that only supports IMAP instead of POP, then you can now download your email to the palmtop. The main advantage of IMAP that I intend to use is that you can leave the messages on the server, and also download any messages that you haven't seen yet (where "seeing" a message could either be downloading it to the palmtop, or accessing from your desktop machine). I believe that LXMTA is the first IMAP client for the palmtop (I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong). And I predict that the other two major palmtop mail clients (POST/LX and Goin' Postal) will have IMAP support soon - because they wouldn't want to be lagging behind the open-source freeware solution ;-) If you wish to beta test the new version of LXTCP (1.2 beta 7), you can download it from: http://rwhitby.hplx.org/beta.html -- -- Rod Whitby, Snr Staff Engr, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Personal: rwhitby@hplx.org -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 08:03:30 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Lars =?iso-8859-1?q?Hedstr=94m?= Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars =?iso-8859-1?q?Hedstr=94m?= Subject: MS Word MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi friends, Several times I have downloaded emails with MS Word documents, and to read them I have had to transfer them to my PC.

I have used this editor for quite some time, and some of its best features took me a long time to find and get used to. If you use and like WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, and have use for a text editor, the rest of this post may be of interest. Earlier this year someone mentioned a world wide web site to get the WordPerfect Office Editor. This was part of the old WordPerfect Office product which included a calculator, a calendar program, the ASCII, binary, and macro editor, a file manager, a small database called "NoteBook", a program menu and shell, a mail program, and a scheduler. My office bought this and so I have the original documen- tation available. The database was in WordPerfect secondary merge format. It was/ is fairly simple, with a useful set of features. Because it was a merge file, addresses could be merged with a letter in WordPerfect for instance. And if you kept phone numbers in it, you could have it dial your phone using a modem. I used the shell for a short time to run Lotus 1-2-3 and the editor at the same time to cut and paste results into a report. We also used its menu to set up machines for "easy" access to programs for people that weren't computer literate (meaning comfortable with DOS commands). The menu laid things out so all you had to do was hit the "W" key to run WordPerfect, "L" to run Lotus, and so forth. Way back, when there was a magazine for WordPerfect, we had a subscription to it. It had a hints column that mentioned that there was a utility diskette for WordPerfect available from SSI (old name for WordPerfect Corp.) that had a macro editor. The price was right, free, so someone in the office called up for it. The diskette had PE.EXE a program editor, and ME.EXE the macro editor. Later the two programs were merged to create ED.EXE. And the other programs were eventually bundled with it to form the Office product. Looking back, I realize that some of the features I now use were not obvious at the time. I sort of belong to the Dodo school of software users in some cases. So I have a trio of hints or sugges- tions to share. The first is indentation. The F6 key allows programmers (and others) to indent quickly. If you are on a line below an indented line, pressing F6 copies the white space to create the same indenta- tion. A second press will copy the upper line to the start of the next word. Took me a long time to figure why this was useful, so I will give an example. Take the case of an assembly language program. The text and commands are laid out in columns. And there are a lot of repeti- tive lines (at least in my programs). An example line looks like MOV AH,EXIT ; DOS Exit _ Imagine the cursor on the start of the next line. Hit F6 and the cursor is underneath the "M" having copied the white space to create the indent. MOV AH,EXIT ; DOS Exit _ Hitting F6 a second time copies up to the next word. MOV AH,EXIT ; DOS Exit MOV _ If I type enough to be under the white space again, MOV AH,EXIT ; DOS Exit MOV AL,Okay_ and hit F6 twice, I am ready to enter another comment. MOV AH,EXIT ; DOS Exit MOV AL,Okay ; _ It is a nice feature, once you get used to it. I like it due to an old conflict between tab characters and an old printer I used. I use spaces in my assembly programs by habit. Shift F6 will duplicate the entire line above in a single operation. The second tip is the macro editor. If you have the resource file in the same place as the editor, you can edit macros. For Word- Perfect this is WP.MRS. The HP 200LX keypad is in normally the num- lock mode. This is great for using numbers, but WordPerfect, and the editor, use the keypad "+" and "-" keys to move a screen at time. You can remap the page up and page down keys to do this, but then you lose going about by pages. I don't remember the key presses to get an edit mode plus and minus on the 200LX, so I made a macro. You can make a dummy macro and edit it. Once editing it, any keycode command can be entered in text mode. Type a curly bracket, the words "Screen Up", and a closing curly bracket, {Screen Up}, to get a screen up macro. If you can't remember a key sequence, this will allow an entry in a macro.

By the way this was, more or less, done in response to another thread on documentation and tutorials for an editor based program. Some knowledge is only useful when explained for about the third time, in a different way, for a new purpose. HTH Steve - - - The third tip is the command line switch /L or /l. This is useful for debugging programs or other repeated editing chores. It will start the editor at the same place in the file. An example; start to edit a file with the following command "ED DEBUG.ASM /L". I edit a program, go to a problem area and edit a line. Then I save the file and run the assembler, which (only for the sake of the exam- ple of course) complains bitterly about some fatal error. Then the command "ED /L" will pull up the file debug.asm and place the cursor on the line I was last editing, all in one fell swoop. And if the file is large this saves time and effort. But it took me some effort to get this to work. And I don't think it is in the help file. A mini-tip for both WordPerfect and the editor is, the copy command using control-F4 stores the text in a buffer. This text can be recalled multiple times by shift-F10 and hitting enter. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 07:54:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: MS Word Comments: To: Lars Hedstr-m MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tue, 21 Sep 1999 09:35:58 -0400 (EDT) 01h32m16s ago ...

As I do realize, that the offer from Thaddeus is also quit interesting for us in Germany. Last week I got back my hp200lx DS 96 MB from Rundel Datentechnik, Germany. Along with the upgrade a got the keyboard replaced by a second hand keyboard. The price for the second hand keyboard was: 200,00 DM, which is at current rate US$ 108,48. The upgrade was flat rate DM 95,00, which is US$ 51.50. In total the sum for repair/upgrade (along with a 96MB upgrade) was about US$ 159.48 + VAT + shipping. The unit came back in proper working conditions; however the keyboard was = dirty (agreed I bought is as second hand). I am quite impressed by what you got for your money.

Tom's program reads the Online Bible Company's data files, to be displayed on the LX. I am not sure if I still have the latest version, I haven't been to Tom's website in a while to check. I have a double speed, 8 meg 200LX, and have the HisWord program, and the data files also loaded on my "A" drive. The program runs just fine, from within system manager, and you don't need MaxDOS or Software Carousel to run it. Let me explain how it runs for me, without any problems at all. In the path statement, for my HisWord icon in system manager, make sure you have a pipe "|" at the end of the line, to give the program all the available memory to run it. In the comments line have a upside down question mark "=BF", to automatically exit DOS after the program is finished running. Also there must be the hisword.cfg file located in your "_dat" sub-directory in order for the program to run. Here is what my hisword.cfg file looks like: ÝUser¨ Path=3DA:\PROGRAMS\HISWORD\AV_NIV Font=3D2 Version=3D2 ÝView¨ 1=3D1 The Path must be your path of the Bible data files. I use the dual version AV_NIV data files, that I purchased directly from the Online Bible Company. I think that they still sell the other versions of the Bible data files. You can look up their phone number to call, I think their website is: www.onlinebible.com. They are located somewhere in Michigan.=20 :-) The dual version I purchased, for not much money if I recall, gives me the ability to switch between versions to look up passages in either the American Version or The New International Version, with just the press of a button in HisWord. The font line tells Hisword what zoom mode to open the program in. The Version tells Hisword to start the program with the NIV version. I don't recall what the view line did, but either Tom made the suggestion to enter: 1=3D1, or the program somehow made the entry. Tom is a list subscriber, and may be able to chime in here, if needed. I don't want my message to be misinterpreted that the replies to your post from Jeff & Lynn were incorrect. I am just stating that the HisWord program will run just fine, from within system manager, without MaxDOS or Software Carousel. I use MaxDOS for only one thing on my palmtop, and that is to run POST/LX & WWW/LX from within system manager, so that POST/LX is able to open PE, still from within system manager, to compose messages. I feel Software Carousel has caused a lot of corrupted files, from users that are not careful enough to follow the proper use of Software Carousel. Such corruptions are reported a lot here on this list, and the consensus have usually been that the database file, that got corrupted, was open in one session, of Software Carousel, and then another session either tried to open the file, or write to it, and then the file got corrupted. I am sure that due to the fact that a lot of the power users use Software Carousel, that it is a great product, and has a lot of advantages also, I just do not have a need for it. > I have a spare 4meg lx that I'm going to send to Thaddeus for > repairs in the near future and I would like to make certain > that I get enough memory added to run Hisword and all of the > associated programs. Also, would Software Carousel allow me to > use Hisword and some of the other built in programs > simultaneously? If so, how much memory should I upgrade to? Like I said above, you can run the program from a flash card, so even with a LX with less less than a 4 meg ram drive, the size of the ram drive, on the LX does not matter. Also if you are waiting to get your backup unit repaired/upgraded, why not wait until the backlight project is complete? I also am going to do the same thing, except my backup unit is a new 200LX 4 meg, still with the HP extended warranty in effect. When Thaddeus gets the backlight project done, off goes my LX for an upgrade. I am leaning toward the 64 meg upgrade, if Mack is able to rework the upgrade components, like his earlier post stated, to eliminate the slight bulge in the bottom of the case. If not I may just go with the 32 meg upgrade.

As far as I can remember, I had all of my applications closed when I went to bed. A quick run through Garlic (on SUPER) fixed the problem. I only had one extraneous date after the fix. It was an appointment with an alarm at 137:20 on 9/20. It was interesting to scroll down in the appointment view past 12noon, 4pm, 8pm, 11pm, 23pm, 51pm, 93pm, 102pm, to 137pm. The repeat was maintained and I recognized the note as something which was supposed to appear in 5 days (137/24=5.7). All of my other DB's were intact. Did anyone else have this problem? Was there a bug in the system or Buddy or something else which may have caused this?

Now I can control all the printer functions directly by the palmtop (and also set it to BJ mode and set it to use the German character set including all Umlauts). Great!

Also, Rocket feels that their displays (and I assume battery life) are superior to most notebooks. I am positive their boot time is shorter than *any* Win95/Win98 machines. Also, if Rocket were to develop a reader for PCs it would most likely be designed for Win9X, not DOS, and the display requirements would be significant (greater than 640x480).

I have a nightly batch program that takes a copy of everything on my "C" drive and backs it up to my 40 meg flash card on my "A" drive. In order to do this I first destroy last weeks backup on a sub-directory named by that day of the week, from the last weeks backup, by using a freeware program called: "deltree.com". I have no idea how the author was able to name it "deltree.com", when MS has a "deltree" program in the version 6.22 of DOS. I don't remember were I got the program, it may have been from Simtel. Here is the printout from running the "/?" help switch on the "Deltree" program: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DELTREE.COM v1.00a 08-13-1998 C. Dye raster@highfiber.com Freeware. Copyright 1998, Charles Dye. No warranty! DELTREE Ýswitches¨ filespec Ýfilespec...¨ /Y Delete specified items without prompting /V Report counts and totals when finished /D Display debug info Filespecs may name files, subdirectories (all contents will be lost), or DR DOS-style file lists. DELTREE is a dangerous command! Use at your own risk. This program may be freely distributed under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License, version 2; or, at your option, any later version of that License. See the file COPYING for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It works just fine, like I said I use it in my nightly batch files. Here is an example of what one of my weekly nightly backup batch files looks like: DELTREE /Y A:\BU_200LX\1-MON MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\1-MON MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\1-MON\DATE A:\BU_200LX\ND.EXE A:\BU_200LX\1-MON\DATE xcopy c:\*.* a:\bu_200lx\1-mon /s /e /v After the Deltree program deletes the "1-MON" sub-directory on my "A" drive, the make directory program recreates the sub-directory again. Then the make directory creates another sub-directory under the "1-MON" sub-directory, named "DATE". I then use a program that renames that new sub-directory, to that of the current date. I do this so that when I look into the "1-MON" subdirectory, there will be an empty directory, on top of my file list, that acts as a label, so I know the date of that backup. Xcopy will then copy all files from the "C" drive to the "A" drive, including sub-directories, even if empty, and does a verify. Here is the printout from running the "/?" help switch on the "ND" program: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ND 2.0 Name Date by Gordon Haff. Copyright 2/92. The syntax for NameDate is as follows: ND filenames /f= /e= /d= /t= /p /b /? The function of ND is to rename files using a format string such as the current date. For example, you can use ND to rename a file such as CHANNEL1.QWK to 920203.QWK. This is handy if you want to do something like archive log or message files using the current date. /f=format for new name.

After I eliminated the zipping of the backups, and just now copy them, unzipped, using the "xcopy" command to transfer all the "C" drive files, to the flash card, the data problems I used to have are almost non-existent. I know this does not make sense, but I think that the SimpleTech cards either are requiring so much current, when my backup happens at night, while my LX is not plugged into an AC source, that the corruption happens due to not enough current being supplied to the flash card, or it is just a trait of the SimpleTech 40 meg cards. I have two of them, and they both do it, but my older Pretec 12 meg flash card has never done this. When I send my backup palmtop to Thaddeus to get the backlight added, I will then purchase a newer, larger flash card, which will not be the SimpleTech brand, and will most likely be the SanDisk line. My nightly backups are the same for monday through saturday, but Sunday's backup also takes a copy of Sunday's backup and stores it into a sub-directory named "weekly", that does not get deleted the following week. These weekly backups sit in that directory until I transfer them to floppy, or one of my laptops hard drives, and then to tape. Here is what my Sundays batch file looks like: DELTREE /Y A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN\DATE A:\BU_200LX\ND.EXE A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN\DATE xcopy c:\*.* a:\bu_200lx\7-SUN /s /e PKZIP -exxrp a:\BU_200LX\WEEKLY\WEEKLY.ZIP C:\*.* A:\BU_200LX\ND.EXE A:\BU_200LX\WEEKLY\WEEKLY.ZIP The PKZIP line takes all the files on my "C" drive and zips them, in a new file named "WEEKLY.ZIP", using the new switch in version 2.50, called extreme compression. Then the "ND" program renames the "WEEKLY.ZIP" file to the current date. I then end up with a nightly backup stored on separate sub-directories for each day of the week, and weekly backups for as long as I want to keep them around. I try to keep the last 4 weeks of weekly backups, for disaster recovery. Here is what my backup sub-directory looks like on my "A" drive: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume in drive A is 40MEG CARD2 Directory of A:\BU_200LX . 07-28-99 8:27a .. 07-28-99 8:27a WEEKLY 07-28-99 8:27a 1-MON 09-20-99 12:00a 2-TUE 09-21-99 12:00a 3-WED 09-22-99 6:47a 4-THU 09-16-99 12:00a 5-FRI 09-17-99 12:00a 6-SAT 09-18-99 12:00a 7-SUN 09-19-99 12:00a ND EXE 32176 02-04-92 7:13p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I then have the ability to go to each sub-directory, for each day of the week, or to the previous weekly backups, to transfer files, back to my "C" drive, that either I need, because of corruption, or because I deleted them, and needed them later, or I made a bad store to a file, and need to get the before copy back. I comes in handy often, not implying that I get many corrupted files, more times it is my fault from doing something stupid. So if you would like a copy of these files, I would be happy to email it to you, and if Jeff would like, we could get them added to the S.U.P.E.R. site. The "Deltree" file size is only 4,050 bytes, and the "ND" program is 32,176 bytes.

Here's some more stuff about the new version of X-Finder. 1 Power info in title bar (Adapter/Battery & battery voltage) 2 Built-in viewer. Can use 2 font sizes. For some reason, even if you use a font loader, the small font reverts to the built-in font -- the mid-size font is the one from the loader (if you use one). 3 Help system (Japanese) - uses XF viewer. Seems to be based on a subset of HTML. 4 Choice of date formats in the file manager. 5 New zero-byte XF? file type - .xfj to jump to different pages in the launcher screens. 6 Some changes in the .env parameters 7 Uses zero-byte .xfn files to make blank entries in the launcher screens (to format the layout). 8 A bunch of PAW's cool cat icons. (Over 120 of 'em) 9 Disk space display (if you use it) now works OK with BIG flash cards.

Later I used them on a PC as well. I agree that PE was a pretty nice programmers editor, but I was used to using vi and I always found the number of keystrokes required to do anything in PE irritating. And the default on their "Are you sure" was always "NO". I hate a program that assumes I screwed up. It did have a good set of tools. But then I found qedit. Wallah! That was magic. Even vi paled in comparison. I always wish there had been a DG version of qedit. We payed $38,000 for the license to Word Perfect on the DG and $15,000 for the license to PE. Mini prices are higher since there are more users. Every year we had to renew the license and get an unlocking program from Word Perfect to allow the programs to continue to run. Then they decided not to support the DG platform anymore and when our year was up, both programs stopped running. Word Perfect's answer was simply "Sorry, we don't support that platform any longer".

I don't think so, no; neither the LX nor the Palm deserve the epithet "PDA". Both serve that function well, but both are also sound general-purpose computers, as demonstrated by the amount of software available for them. Thanks to its 68000-derived processor, the Palm is in some ways nicer to develop for; e.g. there's a gcc-based cross-development environment that runs portably on Unix systems, something sadly lacking for 16-bit DOS. As I see it, the Pilot has two heavy downsides compared to the LX, lack of keyboard and lack of expandability. These make it a far poorer choice for a standalone computer, e.g. for protracted trips. Graffiti just doesn't work anywhere nearly as well as a keyboard. But the Pilot has a couple of serious advantages: it's way smaller, and it has the backlight. So in some settings it's nicer to use (inadequate light) and in most it's more pleasant to have tucked into a pocket. For me, the move that offset the Pilot's weaknesses was using a Sony Vaio 505TX (2.7lbs, 8.2*10.2*0.8") running Linux. It gives me a keyboard on which I can type at full speed, a machine sufficiently powerful that it's my desktop workstation, and I carry it with me anywhere I take my briefcase; and it can transfer files to and from the Pilot via IR, so I don't have to tote any extra cables. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 10:15:51 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bennett Todd Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bennett Todd Subject: Re: Solution! was: HV/long filenames Comments: To: Martin Bergvill In-Reply-To: <199909220501.HAA05241@golf.dax.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 1999-09-17-08:05:50 Stephan Goeldi: > I now reached another limitation: The DOS 256-files-per-directory-limit.

It's a shame the world moved on and forgot to remember who got them there DOS. All the people who spent good money on software which was and still is in my mind GREAT should be given the chance to continue to use them. Where would we be today if there was no Lotus, Foxpro, Wordperfect to have built on. >The HP200lx is a nice device. It is powerful and wonderful. It's still >my only PDA and "laptop".

The only thing I guess they should have done before dumping the product was to have made it colour, backlit and slimmer. Still looking to be convinced I should move and this discussion has got me thinking. I suppose the viewing of 80 char+ is a big thing for me. As I would like to store mainframe and other types of reports and view them. Oh !!, yes I don't need to say anything about Windows CE do I. Maybe some product will be available which gives me what I can get on a laptop. Windows and DOS working well together.

I'm having problems with Transfile Win 200. During transfers, the software gives me a "No Palmtop Detected" error msg. The 200lx still shows itself connected in server mode as it should. The problem is more prevalent with large file transfers... say bigger than 500k, but not limited to large files. Eventually, after many tries, I can get the file in question transfered, but it is tedious. Any clues? I've tried the various comm rates, but without much sucess.

I'm relatively new to hp 200 computing, but I had a similar problem transferring files with another program to a pocket organizer a few months ago. It was cleared up by using the AC power supply. In my case, apparently the serial port was drawing a lot of current, more than even alkalines would provide. If you haven't been transferring while using the AC supply, give it a try & see if that will alleviate the situation. HTH, Al Creswell >Any clues?

An example of how fast one can read with the help of some clever software can be found - but it does not run on our little friends though, it's a Windows app: ftp://ftp.vallier.com/pub/users/chigh/VIV_SHIP.ZIP When I tried the program for the first time, I discovered that I could read about three times as fast compared to the convetional way of reading books or newspapers. Perhaps this idea is a job for those great ptogrammers who already brought us so many phantasic Sysmgr compliant apps... Unfortunately I am not a programmer. Thanks for listening.

I like to program directly on the palmtop. I use Turbo C 2.0 and Tasm on the 200lx. Borland C++ up to 2.0 also works. I can work on it when I'm waiting for lunch to be served, or standing in line somewhere or in the doctor's waiting room. Or sitting under a tree. That's the best way to program. I have enough reference material on-board that I rarely need any manuals. I do the same with the Palm 3x, using Quartus Forth, but I know c a lot better than I know Forth and I have to contend with the GUI. Also there's the question of Grafiti. I'm comfortable with Grafiti but it can't really compete with the keyboard. Forth does fit the Palm's narrow screen very well so that isn't a problem. All in all, the 200lx is much more suited to me except for it's larger size and greater weight in my pocket. There are times when I just don't want to carry it with me and that's when I use the Palm.

I also finally gave up on Transfile. It's unreliable, slow, and it doesn't retain file dates. For a while I used Hyperterminal Special Edition with Kermit. That's a free replacement for the buggy one that comes with windows. You can download it at www.hilgraeve.com. You'll have to find it hidden among all their adds for their commercial product but it's there. They've fixed kermit and added telnet to it. It's a nice program. Due to too many serial devices, I finally started using the pcmcia slot on my laptop for transfers. Recently I bought a pcmcia reader/writer for my desktop. It's from Sandisk and it comes in either parallel port models or usb. I think it was $89 at Best Buy. It makes the card another drive on your system. It works very well. I back up my c: drive on the palmtop to the card using pkzip and then use pkzip on the desktop to zip the contents of the card onto my desktop hard drive. Transfers are now a snap.

I've had/seen the "free sector count invalid" message before. Usually "check" or CHKDSK will get rid of it. However.... while I don't think you "wore it out", you might have corrupted it to the point Stacker could not repair it. I also found that installing Stacker 4, made for a far more robust card, than the version 3.0 that was supplied (with my cards anyway). So.. I'd suggest a format, and a reinstall of Stacker.

The problem stems from the fact that mail to hplx.net doesn't work for the moment, and the list.hplx group was subscribed as an hplx.net address.

They feel they must put more than cookie in your machine while you read Web email. HV only allows one. But I think the issue is larger: Most Web-based email uses Javascript or Java. Neither is part of the HTML Specifications and thus unsupported by HV. But here comes my $64,000 question back to you: If you already log into the internet (well, you are able to use HV!) then why not use Post/LX to go to the mailbox itself and d/l your email then read it offline? Presumably being online costs you money and minimizing this is "goodness" :) ... You do NOT need to make a long distance phone call in order to reach your POP3 mailbox - just use whatever connection got you into HV then Post/LX will use the internet to open your mailbox, even across the continent or the other side of the world, grab your email and log off. Yahoo seems ok because I believe they give you their POP3 server name so you can access it directly, provide login id and password and download email, not just access via Web. You may want to check on that, though, my info is a bit weak here, I don't keep track of these services. Enjoy! Avi M. ÝThe above is my private opinion only.

I suggest switching back to e-mail temporarily until I can figure out why posts aren't getting through. Everybody should change from news.hplx.net to news.hplx.org for the time being as well. It's the same machine and the same groups, messages, etc., but news.hplx.org shoudl work a little bit faster for the moment. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 14:36:12 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , al chin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: al chin Subject: Re: HPLX-L Digest - 22 Sep 1999 I use filer and win2000 for file transfer to desktop wit no problems. win2000 of course needs win.

The answer is that some ISP(s), to prevent spammers from using someone else's address to send email (and yes, this IS an epidemic problem), will refuse to accept SNMP connections from anywhere except their dial-up ports. In simpler terms, even if you have an account, you can't just connect to their SMTP server from anywhere... > You do NOT need to make a long distance phone call in order to > reach your POP3 mailbox - just use whatever connection got you > into HV then Post/LX will use the internet to open your > mailbox, even across the continent or the other side of the > world, grab your email and log off. Most of us do. Even though most ISP(s) do allow picking up mail using POP, but don't allow submitting via SMTP unless they have some way of being somewhat sure you are who you claim to be. There's no technical reason why it can't be done, but there are enough people out there who spoil things for the rest of us that the ISP administrators have taken the simple way out and simply closed and locked the mail window that you can get to from outside their domain... Browser-based email providers, on the other hand seem much less concerned about people using aliases and have login -plus- cookie-based security. You can send email using most web browsers fairly easily from anywhere on the planet. They do, however use cookies to maintain a low-level security from screen to screen once you've "logged-in" and rather than piggy-backing a dozen parameters for various things into one cookie so WE can use our favorite palmtop browser , they use separate cookies for each thing they need to provide their service.

When you created your new file, did you accidently rename your user.wd. Is the information hidden away in your new file? Did you accidently move it? If you accidently erased it, try Filer unerase or undelete and see if you can find the file and rescue it. If you accidently erased user.wd, try creating it a new one with nothing in it. I think I created a file in memo, just saving a blank file as *.wd, and it worked in InfoSelect. See if that allows you to recreate what you had. Or, could you make a copy of your good file, naming the copy user.wd. See if you can open that file, erasing all the current info and recreating the user.wd info. Worst case, go to the Infoselect web site (www.miclog.com) and find the pages that support Infoselect for DOS. There may be some hints there, or at least a phone number to call or email address for support. Hope some of this helps.

I've been looking for a util that could do that. I've struggled unsuccessfully to accomplish what that util does with standard batch file commands. I was partially successful but I ended up with one or more trailing unidentified character(s) in my filename (formatted like "02-30-99 .arc") that kept it from conforming to the standard 8.3 DOS format. Please send it to my JVANDER800@AOL.COM email address though, since this one (Juno) doesn't accept file attachments. Oh, also please don't send the DELTREE util with it. My AOL account can handle attachments of only one file per email. I have my LX setup as an actual serially connected node on my home network, and backup my systems automatically every morning to a removable optical disk that is seen as just another hard drive. I developed some unique batch files and use misc utils to do it all just like you are doing, so if you are interested in a copy of my homemade backup batch files to explore, just let me know and I'll send them to you in a private email.

Can anyone help me how I > can either fix the card or reformat it I have already answered this in the HPHAND forum on CompuServe as follows: How are those read erros getting reported? By DOS or by Stacker or by an application program? If the card is Stacked, then you need to run the CHECK program in the ACE or STACKER directory. This will detect and correct and errors in the Stacker File System. Then you shoud run CHKDSK to detect and correct any DOS File System errors. Run each of these a couple of times to make sure they come up clean. So, if there is just a soft error with a corrupted file system, then these tools should fix it and you are running again. But if there is a hard error on the card, then I guess you are out of luck because ACE Technologies is out of business. I would add that there is a format command in the ROM of the 100/200LX. You would run it like this: d:\dos\format a: Make sure you boot first and use the Alt key option and choose one of the options to NOT load the startup files. This will give you a clean boot with no drivers loaded, not even Stacker. Then the format command will erase everything on the card and make it fresh without being Stacked. If you want to Stack it again, then that is a different and much longer story that you will need to check the ACE documentation and program that came with the card.

PCMCIA modems use a lot of battery juice. Recently I found out that Thaddeus has gotten some Zoom Pocket 14.4 modems. I have been using one of these for yrs. on road trips. It uses it's own 9v battery so there is no effect on the palmtop battery. It's about 2/3 the size of the palmtop and weights about 5/6 oz. I have a custom 12 in. cable from Dave Shier that makes the whole thing quite compact. I think Thaddeus might have some of those cables also. For me this is a great combination as it has send, receive and battery low lights and leaves the PCMCIA slot open for flash or other cards. Radio Shack carries a 9v lithium battery for $6.99 that is usually used for long life in smoke detectors. It is a tight fit but I get up to 3 months use with 2 online runs a day.

You should be able to use the smtp server of the isp you are dialed into. Most don't care what your return address is, as long as you are logged into them. That is why GP keeps the smtp server in the locale rather than the mailhost, so no matter which mail account you send mail from the currently selected isp's smtp server will be used. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1999 12:28:15 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: HP LX -vs- Palm (was Re: rocket e-book) If anyone is looking for a good windows ssh client, try terterm.

A first task is trying to figure out how to transfer the data from my current phone and address book application to MS-Outlook and then to the 200LX.

I bought it from Thaddeus about two months ago. Comes on a single CD with DOS and Windows versions. Thaddeus also pack a slip of paper with installation advice for the LX. Basically, installation means copying most of the files to the LX. Cost was $59.95 + p&p. It runs well on my DS 8MB in a software carousel session. I've just tried it without SC running from system manager. It needs 350k to run, so on a standard unit, you'll need to close down most, if not all, running apps. Installation was simple & painless. A full install takes about 9.5MB, but you can leave out the pronounciation file (~530K) and/or etymology file (~840K) and/or thesaurus file (~965K) if you want. It's a _UK_ English dictionary, but has entries for US spellings too. It's pretty comprehensive. As well as standard entries, it also has places, people, dates, pronounciation and etymology. I feel it's quite like a baby encyclopaedia. It hasn't let me down yet when I've looked things up, some of which I thought were pretty obscure, and unlikely to be in there. As well as the dictionary & thesaurus, it can do wildcard searches & basic anagrams. If you have a lot of time on your hands, it can do reverse searches, i.e. every entry which has given words in the definition. Two criticisms: 1) I find the use of screen space disappointing. It's in a half-height screen TSR format even when running as a standalone. Thaddeus say there's not been much luck running the TSR version on the LX and I haven't tried. 2) The menu interface is slightly clumsy, and I think it could have been better thought out. My verdict: one of my better buys.

On Freecell (and other games), I wish there was a default that you got by pressing Enter and/or Space. So when the New Game FreeCell screen came up, it would be a lot easier to press space (or enter) than R for random deal. Similarly, in Yahtzee, default to 1 player. In 10K, make human default. Use Enter (or space) as an alternative of f7 for first and subsequent rolls. Another feature you could implement in Klondike would be to let the user type numbers as well as fkeys. To move from f9 to f7 I could press 9 and 7 which is easier to get to, then the fkeys. That same feature would be great in Freecell, except you already have a useful use for numbers. One way to implement the change would be to have the user press shift and the number key to display where the cards are for that number. (This function is not used that often as moving columns which is performed each move). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1999 14:19:34 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: CSV Comments: To: Kelly Jon Morris MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In general there is no particular format implied by a `*.DAT' extension in DOS.

I find that PERL is very handy for handling conversion into and out of CSV format. In general it makes the conversions quite simple. Kelly Jon Morris wrote: > > Greetings - I am new to the 200LX.

Unless the policy has changed lately, palmtop.com has a single dial-up number that is long distance from most of the world. If you have local dial-up available, you *can* access your palmtop.com account via POP3 after paying a one-time $60 registration fee.

I have three dictionaries (English dictionaries, that is) that run on the palmtop. The Standard American Heritage Dictionary 3.0, the Deluxe American Heritage Dictionary 3.0, and the Collins dictionary from Thaddeus. My favorite is the Collins dictionary, for completeness, speed, and features. The fact that it only uses half the screen is annoying ... but it works a lot faster than either AHD. The Deluxe version of the AHD is more complete, with biographical information and addresses of colleges and other places that the Collins dictionary doesn't have, but for strict dictionary and thesaurus features the Collins dictionary is wonderful, and so much faster than either AHD that it's no contest. I also have an older version of the AHD, but it's practically unusable compared to version 3.0. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1999 17:23:18 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Carole Kilpatrick Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Carole Kilpatrick Organization: Oracle Corporation Subject: * RECORD NOT FOUND * MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------083699673B03BD93B0601AD0" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------083699673B03BD93B0601AD0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------FB2125A158214768506E3878" --------------FB2125A158214768506E3878 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Greetings: While my appointment book was functioning yesterday, today, it is record not found!

All you need to do is find one. One way to do this is using a program like NetMap (I think that's the name) that will zip through an IP address range and find an address with the SMTP (25) port active. Then you can telnet to that address/port and see if a password is needed. If not, then you're in business. For instance, Yahoo does have anonymous remailers that you can hook to your mail program to send e-mails.

Actually, it doesn't keep the file open. When the app is open, it saves an abbreviated data file to the disk, and closes it, each time you change something. All data is there, but the lookup table which is used to quickly index around the file is not kept on the disk while the app is open. The file is, however, made read-only. If you reboot with the app open, it should be safe, as long as a write was not taking place at the moment your rebooted . You might have noticed that if you open an app after a reboot like this, it takes longer. This is because it has to re-build the lookup table. I haven't seen any of these corruptions myself (I've only had my 200LX since 1994), but it seems like data files that are accessed on a flash instead of on the internal e-disk would be more susceptible, because of the battery stressing of writing to flash memory. (Interesting aside: flash takes more current to write because you're making charged sub-atomic particles have enough energy to "tunnel" into an insulator, where they logically should not be found, but Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that there's a finite chance that one can disappear from the conductor and re-appear magically inside the insulator.) >If you ask me, it's the absoulute worst part of the built in = applications. >Why the hell should these files be so limited in size and get screwed = over >every so often!? I make mutiple backups of my databases and still wind = up >losing my stuff! The built-in apps were designed to be very small in size, and to survive a reboot if the app was not closed. They did a good job with this, but probably should have had more checking for corruption than just puking when it can't find a record that was referenced somewhere in the file. I wrote DBCHECK hoping to fill this gap. If you use DBCHECK as part of your backup strategy, I hope it would eliminate almost all the problems of corrupted backups. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 25 Sep 1999 09:31:23 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Guenther Helmuth E."

I started with Net-Tamer because at that time, WWW/LX did not support e-mail or newsgroups. Net-Tamer does work on both my 100LX and my desktop, but the user interface is hard to navigate. It is also less flexible than WWW/LX. (For example, I don't know if Net-Tamer can connect to different news servers during a single run, as WWW/LX can. The main advantages of Net-Tamer over WWW/LX are that it runs on a desktop without PALRUN or a similar program and it is less expensive than WWW/LX. ($39 vs. $89 I believe.) Also, one registration fee gives you the right to use all three versions of Net-Tamer: 1) palmtop, 2) XT, and 3) 386 & above. (I ran the XT version on my 100LX so I could switch to larger fonts - but then I would lose part of the screen.) and I have never had to pay a second registration fee for an upgraded version. A number of people are developing or have developed new user interfaces for Net-Tamer. I have not had a chance to test any, and I believe the better ones would be shareware also - adding to the cost of a Net-Tamer based system. If you access the Internet from your LX, then I recommend WWW/LX. It supports the multiple font feature of the LX while Net-tamer does not, and it has a much better user interface. (Not that the user interface couldn't stand a bit of improvement - hint - hint !)

In other words, I doubt if much of the 200's code would properly adapt if someone happened to be able, by hook or crook, to change the 200's screen size (i.e. make it larger), so I'm not surprised that emulation in NT is very simple. Also, I'm afraid I don't have a clue about what the 200 CPack is programmed in.

My experience is that most ISPs who care about security will let you access POP3 first (which requires identification and authentication in the form of login and password) then allow you to send via the SMTP server. Post/LX has supported this feature for quite sometime in the form of adding a line in the email folder section like so: POPFirst=1 Hope this helps. > > > You do NOT need to make a long distance phone call in order to > > reach your POP3 mailbox - just use whatever connection got you > > into HV then Post/LX will use the internet to open your > > mailbox, even across the continent or the other side of the > > world, grab your email and log off. > > Most of us do.

When a database opens, the index is read from the disk to memory. Any particular record you view is also read. Then the index is removed from the disk file. The reason is EXCELLENT: if you manipulate the index in memory - say delete some records - that is recorded in the index, but not in the physical file until you close. If the memory is lost for some reason (you reboot for some reason...) then the file on disk is whole, minus the index which will be easily built next time you open the file. > > If you ask me, it's the absoulute worst part of the built in applications. > Why the hell should these files be so limited in size and get screwed over > every so often!?

If you can get your data into CSV format, you could import it directly = into the HP200LX. Unless you need thew data in Outlook as well, moving it directly would be easier.

It is one of many resources that make owning my 200LX a wise decision. Normally owning a (soon to be) orphaned product puts you at a disadvantage but the strong contribution from the many non-HP sources still makes the 200LX a powerful tool. Powerful enough that I finally decided to upgrade and I'm typing this on my new 32M 200LX. What a big step up from my 4M 200LX + 10M flash card! The old unit will make a good backup unit (that I hope I'll never need). I didn't take everyone's advice though, I got my 32M without the double speed feature. I don't think it's a mistake (yet). The new 32M C: drive is a bit faster than the old 4M. Also I have everything on the C: drive so I don't have any performance disadvantage writing to the flash card. I can also use the expanded memory driver to provide Software Carousel swap space and that too adds a small speed increase. The only trouble I had was moving from the old unit to the new one. I had everything shoehorned into the limited resources of the old unit so it didn't easily move straight onto the 32M drive. I ended up reinstalling a bunch of stuff in order to take advantage of the single, bigger, disk. My thanks also to Mack and Thadeus for making it possible for me to upgrade at all! Cheers...

What sort of tracking do you have in mind? www.palmtoppaper.com has sold = a program called Personal Food Analyst. It will let you type in what you = are eating and it will give you a running total of calories, carbohydrates, vitamins etc for the day. This can help you track your diet and be sure = you are not missing your goals. You, or someone, could put together a 123 spreadsheet to track blood = sugar test results and allow averages, highs and lows, and graphs to be displayed.

There is a 95LX program in www.castleweb.com on one of their pages. I never could make heads from tails about its workings. Some months ago someone in Spain asked in this list about the SDK for the HP200LX because he was trying to develop a glicemia tracking program for the palmtop. I don't know how the work is going and don't have his address handy.

Ed, I am sure that a program could improve reading speed on a palmtop by the factor of 3-5 for less experienced readers! I stumbled over Speedreading by accident: On a Website there was some kind of a JAVA app that flashed text "word by word" quickly. I discovered, that with it I could read texts up to a speed of 800 words per minute - without any practice! Not bad compared to my 230 wpm I did on typical book pages. This experience motivated me to have a closer look at speed reading techniques. I worked through Buzan's book about the topic to improve my skills to read _paper_ based metrial. But on computers - especially the Palmtop - the reading speed is still limited by the screen size and -format. Vertical Reader might help a bit, but one would still read texts similar to the "paper way". However a little program that would parse a text doc for you and flash it's content quickly would definitely improve the speed enormously as the reader doesn't have to move his eyes and the computer would force the reader into high speed without subvocalization almost instantanously without practicing. Please have a look at AceReader (on download.com) or the program I referred to in my first posting.

This is a reality for WWW/LX Plus - the upgrade from prior versions to the current cost $30.00 for a nine months period. It may happen in the future as well.

It seems to me your USER.WD file got corrupted somehow. Low batteries during a write to flash, perhaps? Do you have a good backup?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I want to use this setup: Laptop connected to network through a 3Com Etherlink III LAN+33.6 modem in slot 2. Isdnphone connected to desktop. Www/lx running on card slot 1 through ethernet and desktop to access internet. I have created a setup to use ethernet according to the manual. I also run a file called 3celcm.exe which I guess is the packet driver for the ethernetcard. When I run www/lx I get "No packet driver". I guess the ethernet setup in www is for running a networkcard in the slot on the hp only? Can I use the above setup in any way? How can I tell www/lx that there really are a packetdriver there? Why does www/lx not find the packet driver? Doess www/lx search for the packetdriver on the wrong address/irq? I am not sure what interupt/adress space the 3Com card use..

Don't know about a bold-only font, but there are a bunch of font loaders on SUPER. Try going to: http://palmtop.net/supernew.html and do a search on "fonts".

Try opening a MaxDOS session, and do MEM - it should show how much free memory is available. Should be plenty, unless you have a lot of big TSRs loaded.

Some programs do both well, but they are usually overkill. I have a cashflow spreadsheet (that I wrote) that handles daily entries and does graphs, but it took some skill and time to write. As a programmer (tho not a diabetic), a spreadsheet would be my solution if I were to use the LX tools at hand to write what you're looking for. Another possibilty would be to confine all the data entry to an LX database and use a macro to export data to an ad hoc 123 spreadsheet with autoexec macros that will do the computations and graphcs for you, on demand.

This is only a default allotment. DOS apps launched from Filer, or a DOS shell opened from Filer by Menu-Options-DOS will get all unused memory. Also in the AppMgr "Add Application" screen, you can add the "pipe symbol" (|) at the end of the path line. Used alone, it gives the app all free memory, followed by a number, it gives that amount in Kbytes. Of course with MaxDOS all that makes no difference.

The name of the program is THE DIABETIC DAILY LOG. It is a DOS program which allows you to track your daily blood glucose levels, as well as keep a log of your meals, snacks, and exercise levels. It also allows you to track the times of your daily medications as well. You can apparently create and print reports to file or directly to the printer. It appears quite easy to use, and moreover, it *will run on the 200lx*! The author of this program has a web site devoted to it. The program is shareware, and available for download. The web site is http://members.aol.com/kennzo/tddl.htm . Registration is only $25 (US), and the program doesn't appear to be crippled in any way. Needless to say, I downloaded the program to my 200LX and tried to run it (after first running it on my desktop). I instantly noticed that while the program ran, the colors were far too light for the monochrome CGA screen of the 200LX. Remembering that there used to be utilities which allowed such programs to display on CGA-monochrome monitors, I surfed over to the Super site in search for such a utility. Lo and behold, I found a wonderful little utility called CGAHLP in the Screen file area. This is an excellent utility which allows one to view color programs in monochrome mode. After scanning the documentation and some tinkering with CGAHLP, I found an option which allows me to see TDDL's screens in an acceptable manner. (Since I haven't had time to fine-tune the settings of CGAHLP, I have little doubt that the graphics settings can be fine-tuned even further to improve the display even more). Here are some quick instructions for those who want to try out TDDL for themselves. 1. Download TDDL and CGAHLP into the same directory on the palmtop. Before running TDDL on the 200LX, run it on the desktop so you know what the program looks like. 2. Create a simple batch file like this in your favvorite text editor. I called this one d.bat. d.bat cgahlp -dmono.dat tddl cgahlp -r What this batch file does is load cgahlp with the datafile mono.dat into memory, then run TDDL, and then unload CGAHLP from memory once you've exited TDDL. I ran this from DOS directly, without System Manager running. I haven't had time to play with it under System Manager to see if it will run. Hopefully, these instructions will allow those who are interested to try out TDDL and see if it meets their needs. I'll post more reactions to the software as I use it more. Regards.

There are a few things I found out for myself that seem to cause corruption of the appointment database more likely than others. Among them are: - I'm removing the old entries from my appointment book monthly. Initially, I merged them into an archive database. The archive database got corrupted within about half a year. - I had problems with repeating appointments (weekly or bi-weekly) that did corrupt the appointment book on a fairly regular basis when I started to delete quite a few of the individual entries (example: a weekly department meeting that got called off more often than not). OTOH, there are others who claim they never had a problem with this. Other than that, I never had a problem with appointment book corruption. BTW. I solved my first problem by converting the monthly removed adb entries into comma-delimited files with the HP Connectivity Pack. I merge these files into an archive file (with an editor) and convert the whole file back to an appointment book again with the HP Connectivity Pack.

I received my disk in an ordinary #10 business envelope wrapped once with a sheet of thin paper. After loading about two files on it it crashed. I then re formated it only to get another couple of directories on it before again crashing. This time showing only a series of repeating numbers and signs. Again I re formated it but this time at the end of the formating process it terminated with an error msg "formatting terminated unable to write boot". I removed the disk (and had a heck of a time of it) and saw that the disk was bent and had three small bumps protruding from the inside to the outside. Apparently the disk had suffered greatly at the hands of our USPS. I emailed Scott and his position was "the disk was fine when it left here. My unanswered question is why would you send a disk across country without insuring it or at least putting it in a bubble pack. Scott set the price for shipping at $5.00 and it was mailed with $1.05 worth of stamps. Surely $40.00 of insurance from the USPS can't cost too much. It would seem that his only concern is that the disk is "working fine when he sends them doesn't care what shape they're in when you receive them. I'm sure I've lost my $40.00 but maybe this will keep someone else from purchasing a $40.00 paper weight.

I just got this program working, in my first try, I might add ;-). Here is what you need to do: Download the program from: http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/download/hp_d_log.zip Unzip the file, it will contain two other zip files, "put_on_c.zip" and "diabete9.zip". The latter is just the source code, and not needed to run the program. Unzip "put_on_c.zip" somewhere and move the file "swift!.ovl" on the root of your C drive (somewhere in the path or "C:\_DAT" might work too, but I only tried C:\). Place "diabete9.exm" in C:\_DAT Make a directory called "c:\diabetes", and unzip the file "diabetes.zip" into this (or unzip it somewhere else and move the files).

See details at > http://www.cadigital.com/palmtop.htm Several months ago, cadigital was selling these on ebay. I put a low bid on two, and wound up getting both. (They had been going up over $100 each, but I got them for less than $80. I didn't plan on that.) One of the poqets I received does have some cracking on the hinge, but otherwise both seemed in good condition. No problems at all dealing with the company. I still haven't found a real use for the poqet. I can touchtype on the keyboard, but not very fast. There are a few things that make it interesting, like 640k mem for dos, and 1344k for a ram drive (volatile). It works with the megahertz xjack 14.4 modem. It is picky for flash cards though. I have an old 10mb card (OEM Sundisk) and a recent 48mb SanDisk compact flash card that work fine. A 16mb TDK CF and a 24mb Viking CF card won't work at all. The batteries don't hold much of a charge. The pack looks pretty easy to rebuild, and one of these days I'll get around to trying it.

I spoke to the author, in Canada, and he explained that the LX uses some sort of unusual keyboard codes, that are not industry standard, and this somehow would cause problems running it on the LX. That is the reason why Tom Hoover wrote the HisWord program for the LX. The HisWord program uses the data files from the Online Bible program. I tried to also use the Online Bible program, and ran into similar strange problems. The Hisword program is available free, and it comes with the American Standard Bible version, that is no longer copyrighted. If you want one of the current copyrighted versions, you may obtain them from the Online Bible company.

I bought PFA from Thaddeus a while back, to aid me in planning my meals, and to help me keep track of what I ate, so I could print out the days totals, and review with them with the dietitian. The program did not fit my needs, in many ways, and now the program just sits in my pile of other useless stuff. I should have returned it, under Thaddeus' 30 day return policy, but I never got around to it. The biggest problems I had with the program was, the low limit on the total amount of entry items allowed per day, the inability to edit the entries, once they were entered, and you could not print out the results. I don't recall what the daily limit was, but I often found by the time I had entered my breakfast & lunch meal items, the program would not allow me to enter all my dinner items, because there was no more room left. The program is no longer manufactured, even though Thaddeus still has copies available for sale, but the company that made the program is still in business, but now has a different name. Their latest program is a windows only based program. The company at one time sold a pro version of the PFA, and they told me, a few months back, that I still could buy a copy of the pro version, but they would have to dig the master out of their archives, to make me a copy, and they would not be able to supply manuals, They also told me the pro version would cost me, like $300, or so. I ended up creating my own database & spreadsheet combination, that comes a lot closer to what I need, than the PFA program does. It is customized for what I, and for what other insulin controlled diabetics should be doing, and that is the using the total carbohydrates & protein grams, that are consumed at each meal, and then calculating the correct amount of insulin to cover that meal. This is not how the traditional medical community thinks. The AMA (American Medical Association) & ADA (American Diabetes Association) have always had the diabetics injecting a set amount of insulin before each meal, either based upon how the patient has been responding to that set amount in the past, before each meal, or on a sliding scale based upon where their pre-meal blood sugar reading is. This is the old school of insulin dosing, and in my opinion, is such backward thinking, because the only way this method could possibly work well, is if that patient ate the exact same foods, at that same meal, each day, and do have the exact same activity level during that time period, and if something was different, then either their blood sugars, before their next meal, would be elevated, or worse yet, would go low, and they will be hypoglycemic. The latest methods of insulin dosing is to know exactly what your going to eat, and then inject the correct amount of insulin to cover that meal. Even the ADA has now joined this latest trend, and publishes a booklet on how to count how grams of carbohydrate you are going to eat, and then dose accordingly. I have been part of a diabetic mailing list, and many diabetic newsgroups, and have found this doctor that used to be an engineer, with diabetes for most of his life. --- end of part 1 of 2 --- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 06:13:24 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Robert Hocking Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Robert Hocking Subject: Re: Any Diabetes Tracking Software for the 200LX, part 2 of 2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit --- begin of part 2 of 2 --- He was one of the first doctors to adapt these latest methods. The only problem he had was, when he finally got his methods worked out & documented, he has unable to get any of the medical community to hear him, because he was not a doctor. So at a very late time in life to start medical school, he did, and became a doctor. He now has written his book, Diabetes Solutions, and has his own clinic, that focuses on care of diabetic patients, and to teach them how to keep their blood sugars normal at all times, so the diabetic can stand the best chance of not having any diabetic related complications in the future. I have the methods I have developed, on the LX, from what I have learned from Dr. Bernstein, and would offer anyone who is attempting to control their diabetes, to send them the files I use, on the LX, that uses the built-in database & built-in 123, and would be happy to share copies my logs, which are so near perfect, that any blood test would not show me as having diabetes. Once you get the basic principle down pat, the rest is easy. The hardest part is discarding what most of the medical community has been teaching the diabetics for years, before all the latest self-testing equipment has been so readily available lately, whereas the diabetic can see for themselves, exactly what works, and what does not. I went though this for years, until I stumbled upon the greatest tool to help me keep my sugar levels normal, my LX! > You, or someone, could put together a 123 spreadsheet to track blood sugar test > results and allow averages, highs and lows, and graphs to be displayed. As mentioned above, I have already achieved this, and I find the graphing of my logs, not very useful, because the numbers speak for themselves very well. This is not an attempt to start a flame between a medical expert, and an end user, just trying to let all the other diabetics listening, that there are ways of controlling your sugar levels, to such a tight range, that the chances of something else going wrong, due to the sugar levels being out of control, for so long, are greatly reduced. I have come as close as I can to an artificial pancreas, with my LX, and my syringes. I also just purchased PowerBasic for DOS, that is still currently in production, and support, to try to write a customized program, that would do the same thing, that my database and spreadsheet do together. The two things from preventing me from starting the project, is I am constantly changing my spreadsheet, to improve it, and I haven't dabbled in basic since high school, 23 years ago. I bought a learning PowerBasic book, and have been trying to find the time to finish it, so I can start my program. I would like to share it with other diabetics, but am concerned, that even if I gave it away, and a fellow diabetic have some bad reaction, that I could be held liable, so I not sure how I am going to handle that, if I even get it done. The database and spreadsheet do so well now, that I may never complete it, especially considering that I am going to start my Mechanical Engineering degree at U of M, this January, and will most likely not have much free time on my hands then. Funny thing is keeping track of all the foods you eat, their isn't really that many different ones, when you start tracking them. My database has only about 133 items, and a lot of them, are just different quantities, or ways of measuring the same food. There has been a lot of discussion in regards to this diabetes thread, and I am going to try to respond to everyone who showed an interest in the methods I am using.

The only different procedure that I can recall is that it all (re)started when I closed a file not positioned in the current date. (I was ahead of it) Garlic and merging into a new (empty) file have been useful to recover my data. But the problem appears again in a few days...

I have my palmtop configured to CP 850 for Portuguese through Setup. Now the puzzle. When I enter a diacritic on a Dos program under SysMan or in a MaxDos session the signal appears in the screen correctly (for instance a with a ~ above, using the Fn-I keys). In a Carousel session the entering of diacritic signal is no longer possible. SC defaults to CP 427 (I think) and the screen shows the characters than correspond to the same code in CP 850. Has anyone a solution for my problem? Is it possible to make SC recognize the CP 850? Oh yes. If I use Keybez in a SC session the problem is solved but is inverted, that is, I no longer can enter diacritics in SysMan or in a maxdos session. What a puzzle!

The older editions seemed choke on anything over 256, including those registered in the .env - so if you tried to view a large icon directory, it would show excess icons as the default file icon. Haven't hit a limit in XF 10... It's now possible to use icons whose names don't match the XF? file used to launch your app. When giving the file alias (long name) to the XF? file, add a pound sign, and the icon name (without extension). Also, you can add commands when assigning a title alias in the file manager. Follow the name with a pound sign and the command. Haven't come up with a use for this yet, except to set secondary launch screens to return to /Palmtop instead of the file listing. (Found this in the supplied files).

It still works, and I use it occasionally. In 15 years I have twice mounted a new battery. If the 110 is similar in this respect, use a TORX driver for the screws on the battery compartment. The battery comes out in a pack. You can open this with a sharp and/or hot knife to find the battery, and probably find some specifications on it. Most firms specialising in rechargeables will be able provide a suitable replacement. You may need to give outside dimensions. The 110+ has a lead gel battery. Reassemble the plastic casing with a glue or tape if necessary. The 110 will run many hours on a good battery, but it is still better not to let it discharge below, say, 80%, as that will dramatically decrease the number of recharges you can apply. Be careful about the AC. Both the 110 and the 110 plus use the same net adapters the HP 41C-CV-CX machines, printers and tape drives, the Thinkjet printer, and the 9114 disk drive use, output 8V, 2.5VA AC (but can have DC as well, if I remember correctly). Do not connect any mains terminals directly to the connectors on the computer! I have several of these adapters (European ones). If you can not get your hands on one more close to you, I am willing to send you one. The two trapezoid connectors are for the HP-IL interface loop. The serial connector has a now non-standard threading. I do not remember the connections, but if you need help, I can check the printer and modem cables I made for it. Before they changed their name to Thaddeus, and before the Palmtop Paper started, Hal Goldstein's firm ran The Portable Paper, and they sold software and other items for the 110s. I feel sure there were articles about the power supply and batteries in there. I could find these, but I would have to get this out of a box in a far corner.

I looked at the Online Bible file format a while back, and was impressed at the compression and speed of searches. I wonder if it would be possible to create OLB-compatible files of other reference materials, such as the 200LX SDK. That way we could have the advantages of LXREF (one single file, fast searching, lower disk space taken up) over the HTML version of the SDK, but it would be better than LXREF because there are interface programs (i.e. HisWord) that can read it, specifically designed for the 200LX and with a nice PAL interface. Does anybody know the details of the OLB file format? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 17:09:32 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Post/LX questions MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Tue, 28 Sep 1999 08:32:02 +0000, JSKocar wrote: > Does anyone know if there is a way to suppress downloading > attachments yet still download the message using Post/LX? acCIS > has a switch that lets me do that.

Comparing Post/LX with Accis is invalid - Compuserve's proprietary mail system has nothing in common with POP3 Internet email. The two programs work on two completely different applications. What you can do is this: In the main screen of Post/LX highlight the mailbox in question. Press D several times until there is a "H" instead of downarrow next to the mailbox line. This will download ONLY headers (see below a note...). Now you can decide which message to download and press M then Download for that message. The full message will be downloaded on next online run - including any attachments. To ease your work, you can also add a line in POST.CFG like so: ÝSYSTEM¨ Ý...¨ TopLines=10 Which will tell Post/LX to download header as well as the top 10 lines. You can select 15 lines or 100 lines of course! In the extreme case you'll probably get to read the whole message ... > I've tried setting the max size of the message, but then it > doesn't download anything. I also tried just downloading > headers, but that didn't work. Specifying Maximum message size is only a trigger. Anything above that Post/LX will download only the header of the message. See above for my recommendation re Toplines. Headers with Toplines works fine for me. It _does_ mean that you treat messages twice: Once to decide quickly about them read/kill and the second time when you decide to download and read them. I thought it would be more time, but found out that doing this actually shortens my reading time since I can quickly sift through the 200-250 messages I get daily, and summarily kill off ON THE SERVER (See CRL-D) messages I do not need in my life. With a generous Toplines setting, I can even decide to kill off messages based on the first few lines. I use this scheme also to weed out messages I want to d/l NOW vs. those I will leave on the server until the weekend run, when I have more time to deal with them. In these cases, I simply leave the messages as headers, and right before the weekend run I mark them for download. > Also, I seem to be pushing the limit on the size of the .CFG > file.

On http://www.dasoft.com there is a new, excellent FAQ item regarding memory - I recommend it highly. It has a link right on the main page. Sets would help some, but not much. I believe it reads ALL the CFG, then desides what to display based on the sets. It helps some if it has less to display, but I don't think it is much. Worth trying... Also, edit and take out ALL the comments! I made a copy of the post.cfg and pulled out all the comments from it and use it for the run. When I change post.cfg I do it to the commented version, then copy it and pull the comments out again from the copy and use it. Makes a bit more work, but certainly helps with the memory problems. Best tip: DO NOT use alternative fonts - fonts must be loaded into the data segment of the program which is where all the CFG files sits as well as all the data. Fonts are anywhere from 2.5K to 8K and they take up huge portions proportionately. I recommend using only the built-in fonts: You have a 40 char font, 64 char font, and 80 char font, as well as a tiny tiny font of 125 chars. These do not take any space in the data space. I do not understand this statement: > Is my only alternative to load different .CFG files > when I start Post/LX? Hope this helps. Avi The above is my own private opinion.

My fix was to ÝMost Important!¨ first make a backup so I could recover from any goofs. Next I edited the CFG file and went through it adding blank lines between the different newsgroup and folder sections; this makes it much easier to read. Finally I went through and deleted any old newsgroup/folder section that was not listed in the current "ÝFOLDERS¨" section. So far all my memory failures have gone away.

I have moved the data to another 200LX (I That's what I was saying and Ulrich agreed basically. There seem to be two camps here among us: Some of us get clobbered on our databases left and right. It could be GDBs, ADBs, or NDBs, or combinations of above. The problems they experience seems real enough to have spurred an excellent program to check database problems. The other camp seems to be saling along, using databases intensively, constantly, and even pushing them way out, and they experience almost no problems (or eve none at all). We had these discussions before and we all pooled out brains together trying to figure out some pattern to why some had problems, others not. I think we were not successful to come u with any wisdom about it. As you pointed out, some of the issues _seem_ to be power related, but that is not a complete answer. I know I push my machine lately to 2.29V and even write at 2.32V to disk, and no problems (yet?). Like you, I tend to stop when it happens and just recharge batteries then, but occasionally I have had to write at low voltages. NiMH batts help, but again they are not a solution. Others have also reported low voltage writes that went ok, but it is clearly a risky thing to do. It is possible that some power problems come from alkalines with high internal resistance. These batteries will not give out current, and rather drop voltage to the point that palmtops reboot, with a corruption as a likely result. But even that is not always true, some people reported otherwise. Some people always shut down databases, yet still experience corruptions. I, and others here, report keeping databases open and survive unscathed a reboot (the database takes longer to open next time, having to rebuild indexes). Some people use Flash cards to store databases, others use C: drives. I have used both and have no difference in the lack of corruption experience. Others report similar results. Others yet, swera by flash card or by C: drive ... IOW, very different evidence. So we are still undetermined as to why exactly some people get corruptions, others do not. I wish we could nail this one down. Avi The above is my own private opinion.

In my case the corruption could have been related to memory problems. The RAM failed the ESC+ON tests intermittently and finally gave up the ghost. A new unit, albeit with the same usage pattern from my side, has been giving no problems so far. It may be a good idea to check if the RAM is acting up. And the dbcheck program from Curtis Cameron is a great help in determining the health of the databases. You will at least know if there are any lurking corruptions within the database files. Anand.

When I ran dbcheck for the first time (with some trepidation - if it ain't broke don't fix it) I get a report for one file that there are "347 lookup table entries flagged as deleted". Here is the output: c:\backup\flash\backup\_dat\JEZ.ADB: 385 records found. File type: Appointment ...................................... 1 db header, 0 card def 0 categories, 27 fields defined 0 view point defs, 1 view point tables 2 smart clips, 1 lookup tables 336 data records, 13 with notes 347 lookup table entries flagged as deleted No problems found with c:\backup\flash\backup\_dat\JEZ.ADB It says there are "No problems..." but as I can't find any reference in the documentation (dbcheck.txt) to this message about deleted entries I'm wondering what it really means. Is there something I should do to clean up the file - for example so it opens faster?

Both techniques are performed by hardware, hence there is no way, to capture a screen and maintaining the pattern, because the pattern is nowhere in the screen buffer. The screen buffer only holds the 2-bit color values for the 320x200x4 mode. The palmtop specific (Hornet) ShadeReg decides, which technique is used for the display.

My eventual solution was to buy an Omnibook 300 (later a Omnibook 425). The early omnibooks are similar to the 200LX in that they are DOS 5 based computers with built in OS and applications on a ROM card. The 300 has a 386 processor and a VGA screen plus a nice keyboard. The OS and applications are on a pcmcia type II card The OS is DOS 5 and WIN 3.1 applications include MSword, Excel and LapLink Remote. The LapLink works with the built in Laplink on the 200LX over infared I run the connectivity pack emulator although the built in phonebook and calender applications will read 200lx files without translation. Running the connectivity pack emulator it works just like a 200lx with a 386 processor (but only one app at a time). The case even looks like a 200lx, just 80% bigger. Now I use a Omnibook 425 with the data files on a flash card. I put the card into the palmtop or the omnibook depending on whether I want portability or capability. If anyone is interested I'd like to sell my Omnibook 300 so I can save up for a bigger flash card for the 425.

Is there something I should do to clean= up >the file - for example so it opens faster? (but it only takes about 3 = secs >(on my single-speed machine)) It's not a problem. Here's the deal. The database is just a bunch of records strung together. There are many types of records - there is one to define each field (name, type, etc.), there is one database header record, there is a card definition (with locations of fields on the card), a record for each smart clip, a record for each defined subset, a record for each data item (person, appt, etc.), a record for each note, and, if the data file has been closed, a record containing the lookup table. They appear one after another in the database, in a fairly haphazard order, but the DB header is always first and the lookup table (if it exists) is always last. Each record is numbered within its own type, so that each data item for example has its own unique number, and each note has its own number. As data items are created, they start at 0 and go up. If you at one time had 1000 data items, and you delete 500 of them, the 500 you deleted will likely be the mostly the first 500 created, so the records that you're left with will mostly populate the 500-1000 numbers (especially true with ADB files). Now the lookup table is just a listing of the record locations within the file, so if you want to know where to find data item 800, you go to the lookup table, index into the data item part, then go to the 800th entry, and read the offset, or how many bytes into the file that record starts at. But if item 300 is deleted, it still must have a space in the lookup table (because you have to count past 300 to get to 800), so the lookup table entry for data item 300 will have the value -1, which indicates that the record no longer exists. This is why you'll see that many lookup table entries are flagged as deleted. It's not a problem, other than that your lookup table must be larger than could be. I believe that if you add another data item, it will be assigned the lowest available record number, so the low numbers will eventually fill up. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1999 04:16:23 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: * RECORD NOT FOUND * Comments: To: Greg Dwyer In-Reply-To: <000001bf0acd$2f8e6da0$060000c8@acnotebook2> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Greg Dwyer wrote: > You haven't copied, or backed up the database while it was still open? = I >think causes an error in the file. No, it normally should survive this just fine. =46irst, merely copying or backing up the file while it's open shouldn't damage the file, because it cannot be written to wile the app has it open. Second, the copy you get with the app open will be a working file, but its lookup table will not be there, so next time you open that app using the backed up copy, it will take a little longer because it must rebuild the lookup table. It would be a problem, however, if you used a copy of a file that was copied while the app was actually writing to the file, which happens after you make changes to the data, but no one would do this, would they? --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1999 04:21:55 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: * RECORD NOT FOUND * Comments: To: Ed Falk In-Reply-To: <199909291730.KAA25846@peregrine.eng.sun.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Ed Falk wrote: >I believe that "RECORD NOT FOUND" comes from missing Note records >(which are stored seperately from the rest of the record.)

Eventually it straightened itself out, but it did it again a little while later. Soft boot did not fix it. Hard boot fixed it. As background, and possibly related, I had the bottom only of my palmtop opened last week to attempt to fix a broken screw in the bottomÝ2¨ and to do a brute-force hinge crack fixÝ3¨. I never disassembled the screen or removed the endcaps. It was a week ago though. Could this be related? Maybe it knows I've been looking at the specs of the Psion 5mx with awe.

I suppose that there could be corrupt entries in the index table pointing to records beyond the end of file. Also, the time-dependent items in the appointment book are in a linked list. It would be easy enough for one of those links to refer to a non-existant record. The infuriating thing is, all of these problems are trivially fixed. * If there's a note record missing, delete the reference to it. * If there's an invalid entry in the index, delete it. * If there's suspected corruption in the linked lists, rebuild them. Instead, the database engine barfs on the first internal error it discovers, and not only makes no attempt to fix the error, but also gives you no chance to recover the non-corrupt entries in the database.

When you use DOS-mode drivers for the CDROM drive, you explicitly enable sharing for the CDROM extensions to the operating system.

My cfg is now approx 7.2kb and I have no problems. I have 3 emailboxes+smsbox+25 newsgroups and approx 12 folders. I have trimmed the cfg's down to the "bone" by removing isp setups I do not use and remove comments and shorted the alias for the newsgroups. I also have moved www so that the path for newsgroups are shorter. I also have deleted all spaces and old newsgroup folders. Everything counts I guess..
