Ever since the merger I've been having problems with Netcom/Mindspring using their software (Netcomplete). Their techs seem to think that the problem is on my end, with my computer and/or modem. Which is strange, since the same computer and modem had been working fine with Netcom for over a year before the merger.

Newton keyboard: I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago, and I think it's just great. I chose not to cut the keyboard line and instead made a short cable that plugs into the keyboard at one end and the 9-pin serial connector on the LX-to-PC cable at the other. (It's cheaper than buying another LX-to-PC cable to cut up. I'd be happy to make one for whomever needed it; it preserves the value of the Newton keyboard, which seems to be bought mostly by PalmPilot nuts these days.) The keyboard itself is absolutely great-- it's very light, it has excellent "feel", and while small enough to be easily portable is roomy enough not to make me a worse typist than I am. MS Word 5.5 for DOS: I missed the FS offer another lister made, so I am wondering if there is a source for the manuals. Also, since I am still saving my nickels for a memory upgrade, I will have to run the program from a flashcard. Will this be problematic? I'm new to LXing, and my memory card hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know much about how the A: drive works. Finally, I've read in previous digests that Word might not recognize the Newton keyboard driver. Is there a fix for that? MINIX: Is it very similar to LINUX in programming terms, or are we talking about a completely different animal? What does it offer, other than another excuse for spending time on the LX? :) Thanks once again for your patience with the newbie questions.

First tests show that it runs great from the A: drive, though I had problems installing it there. The setup program obviously assumes the A: drive to be a floppy drive and just waits infinitely for the disk change message. I finally ended up with installing it on the E: drive of my desktop computer (on the HPLX the E: drive is a virtual SUBST drive for A:) and just copied everything over. I do not think that the missing manuals will be a problem. The Word software is very straightforward with drop down menus that tell most of its features. Additionally there is a vast online help included and even a lecturing/learning mode (that I chose not to install). It even has WYSIWYG and printer preview options (which look somewhat peculiar on this tiny screen!). So just give yourself half a day playing around and you have it.

I have managed to figure out a few things (got the IR transfer working between the 95 and my 100lx - cool!) but need to know: Does the 95lx need a driver to recognize a pcmcia card? I tried popping in a SanDisk 4 meg cf in an adaptor and it doesn't recognize it. I have an older ACE 1.8 card at home that I'll try later but I'd rather use the 4 meg one if possible. Also, do I need an autoexec/config? I didn't see one anywhere on the machine. Lastly - is the 95lx going to die at the end of the year? Could I boot from a pcmcia card with a newer Dos version if the Dos 3.3 is going to choke on the year 2000? Thanks!

Hmmm - if you aren't using the 7 Megs of free space on drive C: then you probably don't need the 32 Meg upgrade. It's great to have though if you want to use a PC card modem, ethernet card, or parallel port card. I guess you don't have EMS memory set up. It's great to have available. Lots of DOS progs will use it, and usually run a lot faster with it. You should have the TREMM driver software with the 8M machine.

The 95LX needs a driver to recognize Sandisk flashcards (and it only works with some models). Apparently, the flashcards made for (or compatible with) the 95LX came with this driver. You can read more about the 95LX and Sandisk cards in this PDF file (which someone else was kind enough to mention on the list recently): http://www.sandisk.com/download/techqa2.pdf > Also, do I need an autoexec/config?

I don't think you can boot from a flashcard (because flashcards require a driver present), but perhaps an SRAM card. Another option (if this becomes a problem) might be to place a Y2K-fixer TSR in the config.sys?

He felt very sure it would not, and said he would be surprised if it would work with any other printer. I use the Extended Systems JetEye ESI-9580B with the deskjet 310. Great device, will work with most other printers as well.

It will indeed work from Sys.Mgr. in an 8meg machine and is well worth the effort of installing it. However, while many questions were answered, many more have cropped up concerning this amazing machine we're all so fond of ! For example, the More screen shows the following memory usage: Filer 58k Dos 336K (Hisword) App Mgr. 17k This is a total of 411k used. At the top of the More screen, it shows 103k free and 541k total. 411 + 103 = 514. What happened to the remaining 27k of memory ? Also, I was considering upgrading my spare machine to at least 32megs of memory. However, all of my essential files are kept on A:drive. C:drive has almost 7megs of memory available and I don't see where it's being used, thus why increase memory size? Setup shows that Ram size is 636k and I think that's a DOS limitation. I guess what I'm trying to determine is am I utilizing all the memory that I currently have and if not, what do I change? Thanks for you help!

The other primary use of extra memory is for Expanded Memory Services (EMS (or is it EMM?) for those programs that can use it. This feature allows some programs to effectively roll some of their code or data to EMS to free up more RAM in the lower 640k. The other main benefits of large internal RAM (over a PC card) are increased speed and lowered power consumption, and greater persistence of the RAM storage. By that, I'm referring to the ability of the large internal RAM to retain its contents even in the face of a hard boot (at least from reports...I'm just a wee 6mb myself). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 00:02:16 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: HP200LX 'advertised' in Management Center Europe Booklet In-Reply-To: <199910021059.MAA30382@mail.swing.be> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sat, 2 Oct 1999, Yves Leurquin wrote: > If some of you have received the new 100 page brochure from the > Management Center Europe training company based in Brussels, open it > on page 99.

TeX (with its macro-package 'LaTeX') is a very powerful text layouting software. I use it instead of any other word processing software, although it is especially usable for large scientific documents. It's (for example) great for typesetting mathematical formulas. You enter your document as ASCII file with all the formatting commands (like programming). Then you run a compiler (TeX) and you get a so-called DVI file (DeVice Independant), that you can display or print on any device (you need a special driver for each device, so for example DVISCRS for displaying on the LX's CGA screen, DVIDOT for printing on a matrix printer or DVIHPLJ for frinting on a laser jet. I don't recommend that you use LXTeX2e before you have made yourself familiar with LaTeX2e on a desktop machine or work station. You can do it, of course, if you want, but you have to read some manuals (some are included in my LXTeX2e, but only those that describe how to configure the whole thing. If you want to learn how to use LaTeX in general, you should buy a good book about LaTeX. Since LaTeX runs on different OSs (Unix, Linux, DOS, OS/2, Windows...) a general book about LaTeX _cannot_ describe how to install and configure LaTeX. Hence the need of all the online manuals.

Comments: To: omnibook@elektro.cmhnet.org My 800CT just came back from HP Service for the 2nd time in two months. It had been originally suffering from vague and intermittent power and performance problems which the service center was unable to isolate or fix (hence it was just "cleaned and inspected to HP specifications" the first time). It began exhibiting problems again shortly thereafter...such as taking 5-10 minutes to shutdown in battery mode, and I resolved to use a diagnostic software to see if I could do some hardware/software checks myself. To my surprise, I tried loading McAfee 2000 on the unit and the CDROM drive (HP issue) failed to get recognized (I had used this before). Another round with HP Service and the unit was sent in again (warranty service) and this time they were able to duplicate and fix the problem (replaced main logic board)...and I believe these were the same experiences and resolution as another member of these lists (Gary Spiers). This note wasn't meant to spew on HP (hard to fix a problem you can't see sometimes), but to warn other 800CT owners to be aware of this problem before your warranty period runs out. I subject all my toys to a lot of abuse...I routinely carry my 800CT in my backpack (padded) and that sometimes takes a beating. Those of us accustomed to the relative durability of the 200LX may have to watch out on the 800CT. I haven't had a chance to contact HP Service about the reason for the main logic board swap, but someone suggested that it could have been some cold solder joints that just broke. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 11:42:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stan Peters Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Re: WP 5.1 availability Comments: To: Buz Liteyr MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have a copy in mint condition on six 3.5 diskettes.

I carry my 800CT to work each and every day and it has gone on every trip I have taken since I owned it. So, it does get moved around quite a bit. MY 800CT is my "main" computer, so it is also my "desktop" when I am at home, like now. My 133 had a problem with the capacitor that maintains the memory during a battery swap and both machines suffer from the keyboards gradually getting stiffer. The keyboards are fixed by a clean and lube job on each keypost. I suspect you have a bad unit and would insist that HP either fix it correctly or replace the system.

It is probably slow by today's standards but it is a neat little printer. -- +--------------------+-----------------+ |Bob Meyer MSEE K7PPC|Rom 3:23 Rom 6:23| |bmeyer@union-tel.com|Joh 3:16 Joh 14:6| |Elk Mountain Wyoming|2Pe 3:9 Rom 10:13| +--------------------+-----------------+ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 21:46:09 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tom Hoover Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tom Hoover Organization: HisWord.net -- my own little speedbump on the Information SuperHighway Subject: Re: Scholar Version Of Bible Comments: To: Jeff Johns In-Reply-To: <199910040236.VAA16472x@scott.net>; from Jeff Johns on Sun, Oct 03, 1999 at 09:36:26PM -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Scholar contains three versions: AV - 1769 Authorized Version (King James Version) DBY - 1890 Darby Version YLT - 1898 Young's Literal Translation On Sun, Oct 03, 1999 at 09:36:26PM -0500, Jeff Johns wrote: > What is the difference of the scholar version of the OLB and the KJV? > > Jeff > > ---- Jeff Johns W4JEF - Reserve Patrol Captain ---- > --- Jefferson County Sheriff's Department --- > --- Birmingham, Alabama USA --- > - Warn others of the NWO conspiracy!

If your card is really 300uA (less than 1/3 of 1mA) then a lot of folks would love to know what sort of card it is:-). It'll surely have no power problems in any computer, including an HP LX. The only remaining question would be software compatibility: can you find a driver that supports it on the LX. However, I fear that your card actually has a power consumption of 300mA, nearly a third of an amp, and the LX's power supply is rated to provide the PCMCIA slot with 150mA max. Sometimes you get lucky and can exceed that by some small amount, but the likely consequence of sticking a 300mA card in an LX is that the LX locks up entirely. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Oct 1999 11:56:26 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: X-Finder news Comments: To: Bruce_Martin@MANULIFE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Mon, 4 Oct 1999 13:20:21 -0400 (EDT) 02h06m14s ago ...

(Well, maybe the group who translated the Septuagint 2000 years earlier would disagree.) Authoritative, and the Gold Standard to many. The other two are personal translations from the mid-1800's. The philosophies of the three are, - KJV: Translate the language so that an English reader would have the same understanding as a 1st century Greek reader. If a term is ambiguous in Greek, pick a similarly ambiguous English word or phrase. On the other hand, if an idiom in the 1st century usage would have resolved the ambiguity, the KJV would have chosen a similarly clear translation. Young's literal does not try to resolve any ambiguities. It is a word for word translation, with no information added. This is the hardest to follow, but you are as close to reading Greek as you will get. That has good points and bad points. The Darby is more like the dynamic translation used in the New International Version. If Darby thinks that his years of study have resolved an ambiguity, he translates it that way. This is the easiest to follow, but you are stuck with Darby's errors and prejudices. They work well in tandem. I don't use the Scholar any more because of file space, and because the Greek & Hebrew lexicon's do everything that the Literal ever could. I would rather give the disk space to the Scofield notes than to the Darby. (They are similar in view point.) Hope that helps. Lynn M.

I find it very easy to read, and understand. I am not very advanced, when it comes to understanding the bible, because I don't read it enough. Our Pastor, or guest speakers, at our church will either read from the KJV, or the NIV, but usually they will use the NIV. Prior the using HisWord on my LX, because I could not get the Online Bible to run on my LX, and the author of Online Bible program personally telling me it would not run my LX, I used the NIV Study Bible for years. Yes I know there a users out there that have the OLB program running on their LX, so if I ever wanted to get around to it, I could order the KJV module from the OLB company, so I could have the most used versions that my church uses, on my LX, but the two I use, the NIV, and the AV do the trick just fine.

I would imagine that the normal diabetic does not have access to the power of a full blown computer, stashed in their pocket! So combine the latest knowledge of diabetes, along with the capabilities of managing it, with the LX, and we are pretty as close to having an artificial pancreas as we can be, without an implant. I want to apologize to all the LX'ers out there, who requested a copy of my methods of using the built-in database and the built-in Lotus 123 program, to tightly control my diabetes. I spouted off that I would be happy to send anyone who requested my methods, before I fully thought out my offer. I do this a lot, as some may know, the spouting off thing. :-) I am working on documenting, to the best of my abilities, how to use my methods, so that when I do send out my files, the users will know exactly how to use my methods, without being left in the dark, from lack of proper documentation. After I started to document my methods, I discovered that there were some things that I could make easier to understand, by making some minor revisions to my methods, so as I am working on these directions as best as I can, so to those still waiting, please be patient. At this same time, I just bought PowerBASIC, and am trying to learn it, so I can eventually write a custom program to replace the built-in database & spreadsheet methods, I currently use. I haven't used BASIC since high school, and that was 1977, dating myself here, but not too bad, as compared to the average LX user, that still uses DOS. :-) Not that between being a father of four, and recently finishing the construction of our new home, and starting a Mechanical Engineering degree program at U of M, does not keep my busy enough. I'm sure that we are all busy, so I am not asking for pity here, just patience.

The list has (seemed to) come to the conclusion that the LX isn't much use w/ digital cameras ... most come w/ a faster, 2", *color* LCD screen that lets you preview your shots, etc. *BUT* our digital camera (at work) has an annoying file-name convention that allows for duplicate file names Ýin different directories¨ that I want to fix. I want to rename the files to avoid duplicates when I move files from the CF *cards* to a single computer directory. ÝBTW¨ It's a Nikon CoolPix 950 and it's *GREAT* (except for about a half-second delay between pressing the button and it actually taking the photo). It's naming convention is to put all the shots in a directory and naming them dscn0001.JPG thru dscn.JPG. The bad thing is that, if I change CF cards in the middle of an event, it starts w/ 0001 again. If I want to keep all the files in the same subdirectory, I have to (painfully) rename the files by hand..... (you can see that I'd want to leave the ".jpg" on the end....). I figure I can put my CF card into the PC-card adapter; then into the palmtop, for a "global" file rename. Is there a "DOS switch" I'm unaware of here, that'll help me out? I don't care if it takes a batch file (or small program), but I'd prefer an "easy" answer. Failing that, I've thought of typing "DIR > control.txt" and using "control.txt" {after editing out a little junk at the top and bottom of the resulting file) as a batch file controller of sorts. Problem is that I don't really know *how* to do that, just that such a file list might be a possible control for such an operation.

I don't know if the file format in 8.01 is compatible with DOS. 6.xx and 7.xx were. Online Bible has made changes in its directory and file structure in versions later than 8.02 I think.

It seems to be confined to Netcom alone, not Mindspring, nor Earthlink. The customer in question has reverted to using a scripted login. It seems that his node does not use the CHAP login protocol. I don't understand why his particular connection does that, but in the meantime he told me he has used the script he made (based on the ISP_PPP_Script (see WWW.CFG) and it worked a dozen of times without failure. To make things even more interesting, a customer from Hong Kong has a new ISP and CHAP does not work, however a script (looks awfully like the ISP_PPP_Script) DOES WORK. Great! I am pleased for both customers. What I find rather peculiar is that while most ISPs seem to have moved to using CHAP, it appears that Netcom (in at least one customer's case) and this ISP in HK do not use CHAP for logging in. CHAP is a "better way" to do things. In a notmal script, you receive a prompt from the ISP's login server asking for the login id, and you send it. Then they ask for the password, and you send it. This is incroporated into the script which waits for a specific prompt and sends specific information fields. You can all imagine that eash ISP has a different way to "do business" and the prompts can vary a great deal. E.g. Login:, login-, username, account-id, account-id: etc --- all of these are meaning more or less the same, but the "wait for prompt" must change, so the system can identify the right string of characters when it arrives. If your program waits for "User Id:" but the ISP sends "User ID:" the wait will fail - note the different case of the letter d in the word id. Needless to say, this variability makes for a busy tech support :) --- We have to figure out what is sent and put it in the script - or teach the customer to do it. Painful, eh? :-( ... Note too, that the password is transmitted in the clear! If anyone "listens" to your line, they have your id and password. Enter CHAP: This protocol has been around for years. Contrary to Microsoft's imagination, they did not invent it when they incorporated it into the Dial-Up Networking as the default login protocol for Win95. But certainly Win95 gave a boost to the popularity of CHAP :-) ... CHAP works more or less like this: In CHAP, the two machines (programs, ultimately) talk to each other via a set of architected exchanges. One program requests information by sending a character with some value. The other program complies, and requests other information. In short, the "discussion" is architected, and not arbitrary like the prompt strings (see above). This makes Tech Support and customers HAPPIER! But another item was built into CHAP: The password is no longer sent in the clear. This is a big item. The ISP server picks up some random string of characters, adds the login id, the password as it knows it in its own records, and mathematically processes it to come up with a very large number. The mathamatics involved is complex, and this is not a good place for it, but the algorithm is public and you can check it out by looking for MD5 (the name of the algorithm.) This number has two unique attributes: 1. Because of the algorithm, the number is unique. I.e. there is no other string of characters that will create the same long number. 2. There is no way to "reverse engineer" the number into its original components. #1 means the number is a unique representation of your password! You change 1 bit in the password and the number is different. Further, no other combination will yield the same number. #2 means that you can shout out that long number in the super market - no one can work backwards and get your password from it. So: During login using CHAP, the server sends to the client program (in our case it is WWW.EXE) the random component. This is safe to send out - it is just a random string. The client puts together the login, the password and the random number and "does a MD5" on it. It comes up with a very long number. This number is sent to the ISP login server. The server now compares the two numbers. If they match, you authenticated yourself. If not, too bad... Guess what? Password NEVER travelled in the clear, in fact never travelled, EXCEPT as a component in the algorithm that creas the long number. But it is irretrievable from that number - the algorithm is called "one way" - it encrypts, but cannot be decrypted. So no one listening can figure out your password. That is why many ISps have moved to CHAP - no headaches with scripts, safer logins. We had this supported since about December 1996 in the product, maybe early 1997, don't recall... It is beyond me why an ISP would still remain on a script and not switch to CHAP. But some big ones do: Compuserve, some accounts in IBM Net (now AT&T Global Networks), and now I hear about Netcom moving back to it. Oh well... BTW, we built CHAP because one of our ferocious Beta Testers, Fred Kaufman (has been known to hang out here ...) wanted to use AT&T as his ISP, and they used CHAP (even before it was in the MS Win DUN).

What I did was go to Radio Shack and get some big rubber feet (like 1/4 inch thick) and stick them on my 200LX. That works quite well; it's a lot grippier now, and I've even gotten it to sit motionless on my car window (the outside, so it's tilted a bit) without sliding down. Plus it reduces the palmtop's chances of getting wet if you set it down in a moist spot. One suggestion recently made to me was to put larger rubber feet on the back of the unit and thinner ones on front, tilting it forward, so that the unit will be less likely to tip over with the screen open.

For $10 a month, they're offering what they call the modern version of the old SF serials with 4 SF novels starting every month (one thid of each book monthly). Unfortunately the first set of files are in html format and require a bit of work to convert into files for VR. However, the files are not encrypted and if you like space opera and military SF, Baen's roster of authors including Elizabeth Moon, David Weber and Lois McMaster Bujold is outstanding. They're planning to offer RTF. I personally think that's a reasonable deal and Baen and its authors, particularly David Weber, have been very generous with extended samples of their work.

Box is _not_ opened - and is complete with manuals/batteries (NiCd). 700LX is based on the famous 200LX, but additional it has built-in docking for Nokia 2110 GSM-phone (maybe other 21xx also). A label on the box says 'for GSM and PCN' networks, but I don't know what PCN is. That means you can connect your phone and still have the PCMCIA-slot free for Flashcard or other cards. There is very small and useful software available for email and for WWW, ftp, telnet, etc. Just follow my link to my page at the bottom - under 'more info'. This is the palmtop you can do serious bussiness on. I have used my own 700LX and Nokia 2110i/GSM since mars 1998 and I love it. Not included : Serial cable (same as for 200LX) AC-adapter (uses Nokia's or similar, and it's easy to=09find an ekvivalent) I just got my hands on some more new units after selling the first ones. I want $420 for the palmtop, shipping _included_ (carefully packed). I can also help you with getting a matching phone (Nokia 2110).

I think the first thing I'd do would be to be sure it's a software problem and not a hardware problem. One way to do that is to re-boot (ctrl,alt,del) with your config.sys and autoexec.bat files renamed so that no software is installed and see if you still have the problem. Assuming you can do without any software you load on boot. And then not use anything but the built in apps. If the problem goes away it's probably software. Then try booting with the autoexec.bat and config.sys again, but comment out non-essential items, one at a time. See what makes the problem go away. Lines in the config.sys and autoexec.bat file can be remarked out by putting REM followed by a space in front of the line. That causes them to be ignored during the reboot. If you already know a lot of this I apologize but I don't know how much you know.

You have to load some TSRs first (TKERNEL.EXE and CG.COM) then you can call the module you want. For the Translate/Merge function, that's XLATE.EXE. You would have to figure out what parameters to pass on the command line or else you'll end up in the module in interactive mode. Then after you finish with that, you unload the TSRs with CG.COM and UN200.EXE. This works even under Windows 98 on my system.

I've heard a lot of good things about it from users. The only problem is that the debugger doesn't work on the 200lx. Neither do other symbolic debuggers so that shouldn't be a surprise. I personally think that Turbo C 2.0 is a better choice and it's now avialable from Borland as a free download at community.borland.com/museum. It's a little tricky to get to. Go to that url and log in as anonymous and then enter that url into your browser again and you'll be on the download page. I'm not sure that TC2 is really a better compiler but at least it uses standard obj and lib files so you can use a lot of stuff on the web with it. Also you can do source level debuging with Symdeb. It's not as nice a debugger as Turbo Debug or Codeview or even Mix's debugger, but it works just fine on the 200lx and even handles graphic mode switching gracefully. It's an early predecessor to Codeview. About a step above Dos's debug. But it is symbolic and does minimal source debugging and it can use Tlink's map file and line number info.

The Shift-, Alt- and Ctrl- combinations are also available for that. You'll get an error message during setup in Appl-Mgr, but it works.

No, they don't have any old kits in a closet somewhere -- I asked them. The kit consisted of a Mac <-> palmtop serial cable and Mac software to convert palmtop file formats from/to various popular Mac apps. HP likely still sells its Mac <-> palmtop Connectivity cable, part no. F1016A. Otherwise, the regular PC Connectivity cable can be connected to a Mac modem cable (usually via a 9/25 pin serial adapter) for a workable solution (it's what I use). File transfer is easily achieved using the palmtop's built-in Datacomm and a simple terminal program (like ZTerm 1.01) on the Mac side. The regular (still sold) MacLink Plus, as well as most Mac applications that have a PC counterpart, handle many palmtop files easily. I suspect that even regular MacLink Plus will translate palmtop .adb, .pdb, .wdb and .gdb files to Mac database files, but I don't have a Mac database application with which to try this out. Hope this helps...

When this worm is run it displays a message "Happy New Year 1999!!" and displays "fireworks" graphics. The posting on the newsgroups has lead to its propagation. It can also spread on its own, as it can attach itself to a mail message and be sent unknowingly by a user. Because of this attribute it is also considered to be a worm. AVERT cautions all users who may receive the attachment via email to simply delete the mail and the attachment. The worm infects a system via email delivery and arrives as an attachment called Happy99.EXE. It is sent unknowingly by a user. When the program is run it deploys its payload displaying fireworks on the users monitor. At this time no destructive payload has been discovered. When the Happy.EXE is run it copies itself to Windows\System folder under the name SKA.EXE. It then extracts, from within itself, a DLL called SKA.DLL into the Windows\System folder if one does not already exist. Though SKA.EXE is a copy of the original it does not run as the Happy.EXE files does, so it does not copy itself again, nor does it display the fireworks on the users monitor. The worm then checks for the existence of WSOCK32.SKA in the Windows\System folder; if it does not exist and file WSOCK32.DLL does exist, it copies the WSOCK32.DLL to WSOCK32.SKA. The worm then creates the registry entry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Ska.exe ="Ska.exe" - which will execute SKA.EXE the next time the system is restarted. When this happens the worm patches WSOCK32.DLL and adds hooks to the exported functions EnumProtocolsW and WSAAsyncGetProtocolByName. The patched code calls two exported functions in SKA.DLL called mail and news, these functions allow the worm to attach itself to SMTP e-mail and also to any postings to newsgroups the user makes. so, i deleted ska.exe, wsock32.ska, happy99.exe, and ska.dll that should have fixed it? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Oct 1999 15:10:55 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: HP/MAC?

Um.. Almost... Unfortunately, if, as you said, you deleted wsock32.ska and you left wsock32.dll, you deleted the only good copy of an essential piece of Windows and you're stuck with an infected copy of wsock32. (The piece that allows applications to talk to the outside world.) You should have done this: Exit windows. Power-off the computer. (wait 10 sec...) Power-on the computer. When the memory check ends, hold down the F8 until you get the windows startup menu. Choose the "...safe-mode...comand-line-only" option. That should get you to the C:> propmt. CD windows\system (or wherever your windows resides) Delete ska.exe, happy99.exe, wsock32.dll, and ska.dll Rename wsock32.ska to wsock32.dll Reboot. When windows finishes rebooting, go into the registry editor ("Regedit") and delete: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Ska.exe ="Ska.exe" As is, you may have to go thru the above procedure, but instead of deleting wsock32.dll, rename it to wsock32.bad, even though you don't have a replacement, and then see if you can trick windows Setup program into un-installing and then re-installing the internet access system. Once you sucseed and you're back online, only then delete the wsock32.bad file. (You're only keeping it around until everything is working again because you may need it to use a web browser to get anti-virus help or to download a new copy of wsock32.dll...) Good luck! ...

I'd like to try successfully running LXGPS version 1.5 from a laptop. I've used the program many many times on the HP200LX palmtop. I've bought a laptop for the computationally intensive, power hungry, number crunching, engineering analysis "stuff" I do at work, and the usually boring "dog and pony" MS-Power Point presentations for my management and some customers... Since the laptop is mine, I'd like to try some of the great DOS programs from my HP200LX Palmtop and get them to run on the laptop. For the LXGPS version 1.5 program, I know there's the EGAGRAPH program to be ran prior to allowing the LXGPS program to be ran from a laptop. However I cant use any of the menu pull-down functions. My question is simple. How do I do the functions that use the HP200LX Menu button pull-down functions on the laptop? I can't use any of the pull-downs when I use LXGPS on the laptop. I can configure the LXGPS v1.5 software to run and partially work on the laptop by manually altering the configuration file contents. However, to exit the LXGPS program, I have to reboot the laptop. I'd like to use LXGPS without have to reboot the laptop after each use. I'd also like to be able to select functions via the Menu pull-downs. On the palmtop, duh, no problem! On the laptop? HELP! I just can't figure it out. Surely this great GPS program has been used other than the HP palmtop. If anyone can be of assistance, I'd really appreciate it. Many Thanks!

I need to jump in and correct a small bit of incorrect information here. I never told Avi that my Netcom node did not support CHAP. The CHAP script worked just fine with Netcom when I first purchased WWW/LX, but recently has become unreliable, perhaps due to some change at Netcom - but they deny this. My current problem was that, using the CHAP script the login would work about one time in four tries, and last week dropped to perhaps 1 in 10. So, I wrote a Q&A script (which, by the way was not based on the ISP_PPP_Script, but on the login script that I use with Net-Tamer). Since I started using the script I have not had a single login failure. Vic Roberts On 4 Oct 1999, A Meshar wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I posted about Netcom problems.

These are index files that also contain some information about the current folder settings. Of course, for "dummy" folders, they are not really meaningful, but POST/LX cannot find out whether a folder is a dummy or something useful. However, they do not show up "all over the place", but in the place specified in the CFG. If there is a Dir= line in the folders section of POST.CFG, they are placed in the directory specified. Otherwise, if there is a Dir= entry in the ÝSYSTEM¨ section, they are placed in that directory. If none of these are given, the files are placed in the directory from which you start POST/LX.

That's why you > need an adapter -- even for a 12V car battery... I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

Voltage is the key. The battery charging system in the car might be a problem because the system voltage goes up when it's charging the battery. I have seen system voltages as high as 15 to 16 volts while charging. I personally would not use anything higher than 12 volts dc. Electrical noise is also an issue. You wouldn't believe the "crud" floating around an automotive electrical system. I worked on a Marine system one time that had 300 volt ignition spikes in the 12 volt DC system. A regulated power supply would help eliminate these problems.

I thought these adapter plugs to allow palmtops/laptops to run from a lighter socket had some form of voltage regulator built into the plug to ensure the supply to the computer didn't exceed 12V. If the voltage is too high then the palmtop will draw excess current (ohms law - asuming the palmtop presents a fairly constant resistance/load) overheat and burn out (presumably the internal charging circuit/regulator would anyway). I have no idea what the safe limit for the HP200LX is - perhaps a technical guru could jump in here ?

That's why you need an = adapter -- > even for a 12V car battery... To answer Nathalie - Adapters don't have to be regulated, but it's preferable. The specs from the 200LX manual are 9.6 - 14.4 volts. The problem with unregulated adapters is that with no load or light load the voltage can be much higher than nominal. It's possible to run the LX from a car's lighter socket, but I'd want this to be filtered for noise, and regulated. For Phillipe - The notion that power sources can force current into the load is a fallacy. They have a capacity to supply a specified amount of current. The current drawn depends on the load (in this case the LX). The problems with running from car batteries are: 1 - Noise spikes that need to be filtered out. 2 - The 12V nominal may be as high as 15 while charging. This is above the LX specs.

Basic Ohms Law: E/R =3D I (E=3Dvoltage, R=3Dresistance... in this case the LX, and I=3Dcurrent) The problem with unregulated power supplies is the lack of filtering. Without proper filtering, the supply voltage can surge and in some cases dip. As voltage goes up... current goes down... as volts go down... current goes up! This is when problems can occur, i.e. overheated components, noise, etc. Granted, the LX seems to, work ok without a regulated supply... I believe it has some internal filtering built in?? None the less, a few extra dollars for a regulated power supply is easily justified when you consider the cost of a repair job.

Well, I'm no tech guru - but the specs in the 200LX manual are between 9.6 - 14.4 volts (12V +/- 20%). Since the palmtop uses (I think) a switching supply internally, it won't be anything like a resistive load. (It should actually draw less current with higher input voltage - within specs). High input voltage might damage the regulator circuit though, so you're basically right.

This could actually be done using Actually, as you point out, http has some other negotiation. The usual telnets do have some terminal emulation associated with them, but this is usually unobtrusive if you are going to do a manual pop, http, etc. The http protocol is a bit too much for most people to remember off the top of their heads (unlike, e.g, POP3 or even SMTP). I am surprised, however, that no one mentioned the classic madlab: madlab.sprl.umich.edu:3000 This has been one of those classic Internet resources for years. If you just want Natl Weather Service reports, this is great (actually, they seem to have added a lot of stuff in the last few years). I used to have a script (years ago) that would telnet there, snarf the latest local weather report, and post it to our local weather newsgroup. Once you know what you want from it, this is a very useful resource (though it takes some initial training). The corresponding web site (http://madlab.sprl.umich.edu.) is quite good, too, but not especially text-friendly. -- Clark K.

The cellular carrier in my area, offers voicemail for free, with the digital service. With the voicemail, I no longer need a pager. Even though numeric paging service is available, for $5.00 a month, and text messaging is available for $15.00 a month, that both will display on my digital phone, I find that the voicemail, that comes with the digital service, for free, does every thing I need it to do. I would rather hear the recorded message, recorded in the person's own voice, that is attempting to reach me, rather than just receiving a phone number, who I may, or may not, know who the phone number belongs to. My Alpha Elite pager, has eight channels of news service on it, that I still receive. The news channels are updated every 15 minutes, or so. On top of national weather and local weather, there is national news, local news, sports, markets, horoscopes, and charts (top songs & movies). My point is that maybe you could go to a pager store, in your area, and buy a used, or a refurbished alpha-numeric pager, that either still has the news service turned on, or get it activated. The news service always makes for a daily conversation starter in our coffee room at work, someone will always asks, so whats new in the news today? The receint updates keep you on top of who killed who lately. :-( Just another option.

I live on board of a ship and must care for my own electricity, wherever I happen to be. I also use the 200Lx a lot outdoor, while measuring temperatures and other things in mires, standing with waders on often flooded swamp muds and peats. It is fantastic to be able to give the LX a recharge while moving to another location. Hence, I have been using unregulated 12V DC supply from cigarette lighters for many years now, also via various 24V to 12V adapters on board. No problem, even though the LX gets a bit warmer than it does with the original AC adapter. Especially the 24V to 12 V systems tend to produce a voltage which I regard near the high end of the tolerated range. For this reason, I position the LX such that it can dispose of the heat. When warm, the screen contrast decreases, but you can adjust that. There are at least three things to care about: 1) Comply with the polarity diagram printed on the bottom of the LX case. This is usually regarded 'reversed', and non-standard. Be aware that the same cable produces a different polarity when plugged into a reverse-mounted cigarette lighter adapter or with a reversed-polarity car or board system. If you have no multimeter, do a spark test by just shortly connecting from the battery minus pole; FIRST fix a lead to the pole, THEN contact the plug; do not allow the spark near the battery or the engine. You should see a spark when you connect to the outside of the plug, not when you connect to the inner contact. For those of you who only take the last advice: if you happen to blow the car battery, immediately wash all sulphuric acid off yourself (or your friend) with much water. 2) Include a quick-reponse fuse in the line. I use 5A fuses, and twice = had one blown. That means I could have blown up my LX (or was it the Omnibook 425 I used with the same cables?). However, each could only be blown once. The fuse is the cheapest. 3} You will now rely on the battery PLUS its charging circuit. A properly regulated system would not produce higher voltages than what the HP would see as 14.4-14.8 V. That is OK, even though the genuine HP adapters are regulated not to exceed 14.4 V. Some diode blocks and some 24 to 12 V adapters deliver, for reasons beyond this, 14.9-15.1 V DC when the battery is low and the devices are not taking much charge. I have so far not been punished for regarding this just acceptable under the mentioned conditions, but do not leave the LX connected when its rechargeables have reached some 2.8 V. When the car engine is running, and especially on ships and other craft with many different electrical devices, peak voltages much higher than mentioned may occur. These may not usually survive long enough in the positive part of the system, as far as I understand, but they may occasionally affect the negative part. In my case, this applies to when I have to do some electrical welding. Rather disconnect your charging plugs in such situations! Then, car systems are frequently not well cared for, and they may start charging well above 15.0V for hours. This could perhaps ruin your HP, and it will substantially decrease the life time of your car battery. In such cases, rather properly adjust the charging system of the car first, or have this done. Basically, the internal circuit of the LX will 'regulate', that is, change the resistance so as to get the charge wanted. I do not know how this is performed exactly. If it just knows about two fixed resistances, these would, with the higher-than-12V potential, produce a higher-than-prescribed current as well. If it knows to increase resistance in relation to absolute voltage, it just produces a bit more heat, I suppose. One more comment, concerning serial connections while using 12V supply: I actually blew the motherboard of the OB425, but this was due to making a serial connection with a running Win95 laptop. The OB425 was off, but connected to 12V DC. The laptop used a car adapter. When I later measured voltages on its mass plate, it appeeared this had a varying potential between -7 and +7 V. I remember Lind, a manufacturer of car adapters for HP and Apple computers, used to warn HP users they needed, because of the unusual polarity, an extra safe type of adapter when used in connection with other brands of computers and devices. Most computer manufacturers warn you should not make an electrical connection (the HP serial cable is an electrical connection as well) while devices are running, even though there is usually no problem. They will refuse reponsability and guarantee applications. Since then I try to use IR data connections whenever I can. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Oct 1999 13:30:35 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Postlx:Dummyfolders leave crap "everywhere"..why?

BTW, Next time you open the dummy file, it will be recreated. Deleting the .I* files will create various havoc :) ... For example: the .I file is the inbox, and deletion will give you back a lot of time, no need to reply to email :), but also some measure of hassle. I1 and I2 contain indexes into the file, as well as info about the status of the .I file itself (download, upload etc...) The hassle with I1 would be that it will be recreated at startup time, when Post/LX goes through the file and tries to determine the number of messages in it (dummy has none, but still the operation will proceed to determine exactly that, and stach the info in .I1 file.) The I2 file deletion would mean that the folder will be treated by defaults. In Email files it means you lose any specs you set up re Headers only, or upload but no download and other such info. In dummy it is meaningless. When Post/LX open the dummy file it determines that I2 is missing, creates one and give the file the default attributes, then stashes the info in the newly created .I2 file. Back to square one! :) What you may wish to consider is placing the dummy files in a directory all of their own, and never look in there, to reduce the irritation.

I always have a spare pair of Lithiums with me so I can replace them within an hour or two. Worst case is they die during a meeting and it'll be an hour or so before I get to my spares back in my office. I've been running this way for about a year and a half. I also keep an eye on my backup battery and change it every 6 months; it's only $1.30, cheap insurance. Cheers...

There's a project to make a version called ELKS (Extended Linux Kernel Subset) that would run on 8086 machines, but it hasn't yet produced something that runs on the 200LX as far as I know.

That's what the standard pc card type 2 versions are sold and advertised as. I believe the Socket EA is no longer in production as the Socket LP-E does everything the same and has lower power consumption.

MSN Mobile http://mobile.msn.com/ offers this as a free mobile.msn.com offers weather in many US places, but no foreign location. The weather info they sent got cut off. Their message sometimes identifies the place sometimes not, and it varies... They offer several other info bits they will send to your email, cellphone, or pager, but some of it really limps. For example: on some info they promise to send several pages, as many as needed to complete the message. But this does not happen. They violated once or twice the "quiet time" I requested with a message that showed up at 2am - well inside the "curfew" I requested.

Try to use a filename completition utility (such as DOSED - I think you'll find it on simtel. I could send you a copy, if you want). Load it resident, Make sure there are no other files in the directory beginning with 'p' and 'r' than your problematic files (move others temporarily into another dir). then enter=20 DEL R and press tab.=20 this could solve your problem for the R HU file. Do the same with P for the other file. Maybe you can manage it also without such a utility by entering DEL R*.* and DEL P*.*, if no other files beginning with R are=20 in the directory.

No. The number of Amps (=3Dcurrent) is regulated by the voltage (12V) and the inner resistance of the device.=20 The 'Amps' are not _in_ the car battery.

First we should ask Nathalie if she wanted to join our 'family' as a WOMAN or as a LX OWNER or BOTH. Maybe she just wants to discuss with us just like every other list member does, too. Maybe she feels annoyed if we begin to 'flirt' with her. And we don't want to lose her as one of the few a female LX owners, or do we?

I generally wait till I get the low battery warning but maybe that is too risky. I only recently got a double-speed unit which does use more power and I'm a bit more concerned about the combo of needing a bit more power and possibly writing to flash. I will admit to even pushing the limit more than once when using a pcmcia modem and getting about 4 or so warnings about low battery and surviving that. But then there was no flashcard in jeopardy either. This risky behavior occurred more than once on vacations with pcmcia modems. I don't necessarily recommend it. The batteries generally fall quickly to about 2.34 or so, I believe. You might watch for 2.50 or so???

Esdos - a daily scripture program Docread - I read my Bible books using a version in prc format HV - so incredibly useful for reading stuff downloaded from the net Built-in phonebook and database PE (paledit) ScriptThing - a Dos screenwriting program Pkzip Nettamer - I don't really use it much anymore but I'm glad that it's there just in case. Numlock - used for a single-key stroke page up/down. I love it! Sleek - a text reformatting utility Lotus Works - the database is pretty good, at least for what I need, which is straight .dbf compatible files. newer favorites: Qshel100 - downloaded from Compuserve, I think - but it may wean me from List on my palmtop. Good little browse program comes with it. Filini - lets me launch stuff from Filer - very handy! Dart - an older hypertext reader, adjustable window size is great for reading long text docs in zoom mode. Stuff I have and keep meaning to use but don't have time to learn properly: REXX Perl Tipi As you can see, my list leans heavily towards reading text files from various sources on the LX. I don't use sales or business-oriented software on my LX unless you count my writing-related projects as business. (I wish!) I should have put VR on my list but I honestly don't use it too much anymore, although I did when I first got my LX. Reading with the palmtop sideways looks cool but was awkward for me. I tend to use either the built-in filer or Dart for reading text on the fly since I discovered Numlock. Terry p.s. I have since been to Baen's website and signed up for their webscription thanks to the post from a fellow list member. If Baen can succeed, I am hopeful that we will have more unencrypted text from other publishing houses. (They even make a point of saying their books are Rocket Book compatible.) Of course I may have to buy a bigger pcmcia card soon to hold all my e-text! ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Oct 1999 08:52:16 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mike Kopplin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Kopplin Subject: Re: LXTeX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Downloaded ok with Netscape on Windows.

I don't think leaving the backlight on is that great of a strategy because of additional power requirements. Although these figures aren't exact, with the backlight on all the time, there may be a 30% reduction in battery life, compared to 10% if it is on 1/3 of the time. No, we still don't have a backlight product to announce.

That's why you need an adapter -- > even for a 12V car battery... No. The number of Amps (=current) is regulated by the voltage (12V) and the inner resistance of the device. The 'Amps' are not _in_ the car battery. In the car battery is a number of _Ampire-hours_ (that's the capacity of the battery). So, if 1 Ampere-hour is in a battery you can drive a device 1 hour with 1 Ampere or 2 hours with 1/2 Ampere or 10 hours with 100 mA.

Mr. Sargeant, please enlighten us <--- get it? Yes, EL panels definitely have a limited life. The expected life cycle is (I believe) 5,000 to 10,000 hours of running time. We were discussing this aspect of the backlighting upgrade, and we're pretty sure this will be plenty of life for most people. If you plan to leave it on all the time, it will eventually get dim and stop working, but it should be a simple matter to send it back in and have the light panel replaced.

Interesting excercise! Are you sure the thickness is 0.007mm? That's 7 micrometers! The 6000-meter roll would have only 17mm of material thickness on it. Here's the solver formula: variables: L =3D length of material ID =3D diameter of core OD =3D outside diameter of roll t =3D thickness of material n =3D number of wraps around the core The first wrap would have a length pi * ID. The second wrap would have a length pi * (ID + 2t). The third wrap's length would be=20 pi * (ID + 4t). The nth wrap would be pi * (ID + 2*(n-1)t). To find the total length for all n wraps, L =3D pi * ÝID + (ID+2t) + (ID+4t) + (ID+6t) + ... + (ID+2*(n-1)t)¨ or L =3D pi * Ýn*ID + 2*(SUM)*t¨ where SUM is the sum of all the integers up to (n-1). This would be n(n-1)/2, so you can substitute that in the equation: L =3D pi * Ýn*ID + (n-1)*n*t¨ The OD is: OD =3D ID + 2 * n * t rearranging, n =3D (OD-ID)/2t You could substitute this back into the L equation, but the solver has a convenient learn function that lets you define a variable on the fly. So here's the final solver equation: L=3Dpi*( L(n,(OD-ID)/2/t) * ID + (n-1)*n*t) The L() function inside is the learn function, which calculates (OD-ID)/2/t and stores that in the variable n to be used in the rest of the equation. The first part equation is the length you would expect just using the diameter of the core, the last part is the extra length due to each wrap being longer than the previous ones. =46or this formula, all measurements are in the same units, so if you want to enter t in mm and see the others in meters, you'd need to do a little modification. With your values above, except changing t to 0.07mm instead 0.007mm, the OD would be 1.055m. You might need to be careful when solving for OD that you don't get negative values, since the equation solved for OD would be quadratic. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Oct 1999 15:39:17 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andrew King Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andrew King Subject: Re: omnibooks are large palmtops In-Reply-To: <199910060402.XAA62260@charlie.cns.iit.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Lars The 300 to 425 omnibook series was made by Hewlett Packard in the mid nineties.

Fortunately, I have a good memory, so I have reconstructed the info as follows... -------------------- Q. What "easter eggs" are hidden in the ROM of the 200LX? A. 1. A poem in the Self Test. With the palmtop off, press ÝESC¨ÝON¨ to start the Self Test, then cursor down to the Display setting. Press ÝENTER¨ 14 times to step through the various screens until you come to a screen of example text in the form of a fanciful poem. (This is not as well-hidden as the other easter eggs that follow.) 2. Another poem in the Self Test. With the palmtop off, press ÝESC¨ÝON¨ to start the Self Test, then cursor down to the Display setting. Press ÝCTRL¨ÝENTER¨. Then hold down ÝALT¨ while pressing ÝENTER¨ 13 times. You will see a cryptic poem, apparently relating business issues faced by the software development team. 3. Yet another poem in the Self Test. With the palmtop off, press ÝESC¨ÝON¨ to start the Self Test, then cursor down to the Display setting. Press ÝCTRL¨ÝENTER¨. Then hold down ÝSHIFT¨ while pressing ÝENTER¨ 13 times. You will see an allegorical poem about the history and future of the 200LX. (Hint: the prototype names for the 95LX, 100LX and 200LX are Jaguar, Cougar and Felix respectively.) 4. Pictures of the software development team in the Lair of Squid game. Start Lair of Squid. From the opening screen, before starting a game, type "gallery". You are transported to a secret corridor. On the walls, a couple of paces ahead, you will see portraits of the 200LX software development team (step all the way forward then turn to the side to see each head-on). In the last position on the wall is a sign with a message from the team. Pass through the door at the far end, and you will be transported back to the game's opening screen. 5. System Manager program data in More Applications. Press the blue Ý&...¨ key to start More Applications. Hold down ÝALT¨ while pressing ÝF9¨ 4 times followed by ÝF10¨ once. As long as you continue to hold ÝALT¨ you will see columns of data about .exm programs registered to SysMgr, along with other arcane information. (This is more likely a debugging tool than an easter egg, but it is handy for finding the hex keycodes of programs, and other tidbits.) -------------------- Bruce, Toronto ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Oct 1999 16:13:34 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: text, text, text - my favorite programs on my HP200 (100 really) Comments: To: Jeff Johns MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Jeff Johns wrote: > > Esdos - a daily scripture program > ¬¬¬¬¬ > > Where is this available?

Well, you can set up all the F-Keys to have similar functions. It won't ever look like Memo or PE, though. Also the menu can't be changed except for a set of user-definable keys. There's a very powerful macro capability. VDE also supports proportional fonts, italics, bold, underline etc -- not WYSIWYG, though. > Would it be possible to make VDE like an EXM using EXMBatch so that I = can > easily switch between it and the built-in apps? Yes, but if you give VDE plenty of room to play in, there won't be a lot left for the built-ins or EXMs. > Also, if anyone has any other recommendations for "word processing" > solutions that are readily available (freeware/shareware) I'd love to = hear > them.

PalEdit is fairly extensible, in that you can use external filters (DOS programs) on selected/highlighted text. That way, you could "roll your own" text formatting routines (if you're a programmer) and use them. > VDE seems pretty powerful with a small memory requirement and I like the > fact that it handle's the LX zoom modes with ease, but is there a way to > make the interface a little more consistent with what I am used to using > with Memo/PE? IIRC, you can alter the contents of the menus in VDE (or was that in Freyja?), but you cannot make it look like a PAL/built-in application. VDE will always look like a text based DOS app. > Would it be possible to make VDE like an EXM using EXMBatch so that I can > easily switch between it and the built-in apps? You should be able to do that without using EXMBatch. Simply launch the DOS prompt (that is, choose DOS prompt from the ÝMore...¨ menu, do not exit the SysMgr) from within the System Manager, and launch VDE from DOS. You should also be able to add VDE to the SysMgr, and then simply run it as you would a built-in application (although since VDE is a DOS program and the SysMgr only allows you to run one DOS program at a time, you cannot run both VDE and a DOS prompt at the same time.) While running VDE under SysMgr, you should be able to use the blue app. keys to switch between apps.

It examines all your palmtop's .?DB files, reporting if it finds any corruption errors. The suggested way to use it is to use DBCHECK in a batch file that backs up your data files, and back them up only if the file has no coruption. This way, you can avoid overwriting a good backup copy with a corrupted newer version. This new version searches ADB files much more thoroughly, since I've learned that appt/todo/event items are in liked lists, pointing to each other. I believe this is the reason that "Record Not Found" errors seem to happen more in ADB files, because there are many more links to other records, therefore opportunities for Mr. Murphy to step in (does this translate in other parts of the world?). Also, the program executes about twice as fast as the previous version. I have seen many corrupt files that people have sent me, and there is only one that DBCHECK does not detect the error in. And I haven't seen any false positives. If you have a file that is corrupt which DBCHECK says is OK, please send me the file. I might be able to recover it for you, which I've done for several people now, but it also can help me make DBCHECK more robust. Also, if you have expertise in LX data files and could help figure out what's wrong with this one file, please let me know. As always, DBCHECK is available at: http://members.aol.com/freewhL44/lxgames.html http://cameron.hplx.net (alias courtesy of David Sargeant) ftp://members.aol.com/freewhL44/dbcheck.zip --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Oct 1999 23:59:46 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ted_Weeks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ted_Weeks Subject: PC card or HP200 itself on the fritz? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have a 1 MB HP200LX with an A: drive that is a PC card, 10 MB, IBM "ThinkPad File", by SunDisk, purchased Dec 1996, not compressed, filled to capacity once, reformatted recently using Filer | Options | Format Card. I use the machine constantly throughout the day and carry it in my trouser pocket. Primary uses are the PIM, Quicken, and reading downloaded text files. I am recently getting frequent I/O device errors accessing A: but not always. And the HP200's response occasionally becomes sluggish, taking up to 30 seconds of hourglass to save a few hundred byte TXT file to either A: or C:. For example, in Memo I opened file.txt from A:\subdir, made changes, and then attempted a save (F10) of the modified file.txt back to A:\subdir. After a long hourglass I got an "I/O device error" message. So I saved it as file.txt to C:\. Then I went to Filer, and successfully copied (F2) file.txt from C:\ to A:\subdir. Go figure! Another example: browsing in Filer with split screen, C: left, A: right; one moment A: will allow browsing down into subdirectories and viewing (F8) files, and the next it will give an "I/O device error" and revert to C: in both sides of the screen. Sometimes reseating the PC card seems to help; other times reseating has no effect (never done "hot"). When I turn power on, it _may_ take up to 30 seconds for the active application to respond (e.g.. up/down arrows), even when the open file is on the C: drive. Other times, applications are responsive immediately when power is turned on. My HP200 is running Buddy, Andrew fonts, and CIC100. It has rechargeable NiCad batteries; never run below 2.40 volts; the backup battery (CR2032) was replaced recently. Can someone find a clue in these symptoms as to whether I have a computer problem or a PC card problem or both? I'm ready to upgrade the HP200's memory to 8 MB. Should I throw in the towel and buy another machine? Or just another PC memory card?

You can use it as you like it, e.g. different columns for different categories of todo items. Rows can be used for sorting by date or sorting by priorities. When you create a new file for the first time the size is set to 10x10. 10 columns = A..J. Notice you can create a larger Todo file, up to 26 columns (A..Z) wide. Non-existing columns are grayed out in the title edit screen. > 2.

It used to happen to me a lot. I am running a 8 meg upgraded palmtop, and I try to keep over 6 megs free on my "C" drive, at all times. To accomplish this, I have to keep a very close eye on the files on my "C" drive. I launch WWW/LX and POST/LX from batch files, from within system manager, using MaxDos, and the batch file for POST/LX looks like this: @ECHO OFF CLS C: CD \ cd WWWLX ECHO STARTING POST/LX ECHO. WWW -d "!POST" CLS DELTREE /Y c:\WWWLX\TEMP MKDIR c:\WWWLX\TEMP DEL c:\WWWLX\*.BAK CLS CD \ ECHO ON My post.cfg file has the following lines: ÝSYSTEM¨ Dir=c:\wwwlx\temp\ TmpDir=c:\wwwlx\temp\ ClipFile=c:\wwwlx\temp\ When I use these methods, I never end up with any of those extra files, in any directories, or end up with any of the .bak files hanging around. I find this is the cleanest way, that I have found, where I can control which files are allowed on my "C" drive. Hope this helps.

Isn't it better to let the user decide where to post an article? I assume also PNR displays that header to the user so that the user can decide where to follow up to the message. IMO, as PNS and POST/LX currently handles that header is the proper way to do it. Doing things "automagically" without involving the user is something that I prefer leaving to a huge SW company that writes software for users who need software that thinks for them ;-) Andreas The above is my private and personal opinion and not in any way related to D&A Software Inc.

I have a copy of Clipper summer '87 that I played around with but don't use. I find that the code in Clipper is more complex (browsing, for example.) but the capabilities are greater.

There are also apps that come with it called FOXdoc (code documentation tool) and Foxgraph(graphing). I don't use those apps. My install takes about 5.4MB with a fox+helpfiles+a bunch of apps and databases. Foxpro was first developed by Fox holdings (later bought by Micro$oft). It started as Foxbase and was always a 'better dbase than dbase'. Ashton-tate just could never get together a solid, fast, bug-free product which is why they no longer exist as a seperate company (Borland absorbed them). Foxpro was always more reliable and faster than Dbase...(no flames please, I don't really give crap about either.) At least as far as the DOS versions were concerned. I can't make any comparisons when it comes to the Borland versions. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Oct 1999 10:58:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Rudy Moore Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rudy Moore Subject: Lotus 123 Amortizations MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi, Anyone know how to use the @PMT, @FV, and @PV functions?

I picked one a little while ago just out of curiosity. I thought that my wife could use it but she hated it. It will read flash cards with a driver but the diver runs down the batteries if you leave the card inserted. The spplications are pretty crappy and don't employ graphics like the 200. The screen reolution is really bad and regular CGA programs won't work with it. Text applications may work but you need to do very annoying virtual screen tricks. THE GOOD It's cheap (1 MB version can be had for <$100 used)! It's a true DOS machine so you may be able to write your own apps. There's lots of free software at the super site. It makes a much better remote control than the 200 as its IR port has a longer range. BTW: if you're interested in a 512 one I'll let it go for $50+ship. It has a loose latch and hinge, no manuals and no backup battery.

But when somebody else use the follow up header, and you reply to that message then Post Lx just adds the follow up group to all the others and don't delete the "irrellevant" ones. This happens "automatically". Follow up is used as Rod Whitby pointed out to set the "correct" group to continue the thread. And also stop the crossposting to other groups that are not importent.. Post lx only adds the follow up group and continues to crosspost. This is why my mailer was called "stupid" by the person that pointed out this to me..

I would like to be notified when somebody sets a follow-up group. If I am notified in any way I can delete the groups that are no longer needed.

After selling its remaining Nino 500 and 200 handheld PCs, Philips will exit the market for the Microsoft-based handhelds, the company said. Nino never gained much of a following, even among devices running Windows CE, Microsoft's scaled-down operating system. But Philips's decision to pull the plug on the product indicates the larger turmoil among Microsoft's Windows CE hardware partners, which have largely been stymied in their attempts to break Palm Computing's grip on the handheld market. 3Com's Palm Computing, by comparison, accounted for more than 40 percent of the market in 1998. Nino was dogged by sloppy design and its association with Windows CE, some critics have said. Customers have complained that Windows CE is difficult to use and synchronize with other devices, issues Microsoft is trying to fix. "The volume just isn't quite there at this stage," said Diana Hwang, a handheld analyst with International Data Corporation. "Philips has never been able to capture either the consumer market or the enterprise market, and CE is taking a lot longer than expected to takeoff." ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Oct 1999 18:43:16 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Roger R.

Roger --------------------------------------- From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: HP 95LX Date: 10/08/1999 17:05:21 --------------------------------------- THE BAD The 95 is verrrry limited compared to the 200. I picked one a little while ago just out of curiosity. I thought that my wife could use it but she hated it. It will read flash cards with a driver but the diver runs down the batteries if you leave the card inserted. The spplications are pretty crappy and don't employ graphics like the 200. The screen reolution is really bad and regular CGA programs won't work with it. Text applications may work but you need to do very annoying virtual screen tricks. THE GOOD It's cheap (1 MB version can be had for <$100 used)! It's a true DOS machine so you may be able to write your own apps. There's lots of free software at the super site. It makes a much better remote control than the 200 as its IR port has a longer range. BTW: if you're interested in a 512 one I'll let it go for $50+ship. It has a loose latch and hinge, no manuals and no backup battery. It does have the connectivity kit (5 1/4" disks and cable), original box and a pouch-like carrying case. > -----Original Message----- > From: Roger R.

It lacks some of the features in the current v5, such as OO, references, and a few regular expression features (and more, I'm sure). I think it runs fairly well on the LX, but I've never timed it against anything. As the manual says, if you need more than Sed or Awk can offer then Perl might be for you. I think this holds true on the LX as well. You can find it here: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/msdos/old/perl4/bin4036.zip There are several versions floating around, but this one is the most bug-free version 4 you can find (patchlevel 36, the last one released), and furthermore, this particular version has the filename globbing (ie wildcard expansion) code built-in. Other versions have to swap perl to disk (or perhaps EMS) while running an external program, perlglob.exe, to get the same functionality. Not having to swap speeds up operations dealing with wildcards a lot, at least if you don't have EMS. There's also a version compiled with PAL functionality somewhere, but for some reason, it was *many* times slower than the regular version of Perl on my LX, even when I didn't use the PAL functions.

The size of the file should not matter for PIM as long as you do the changes at the end of the file. Saving it from within PE gets considerably slower, however. Therefore, I move all "old" stuff from CUR.PIM into files such as "99JANMAR.PIM which holds the stuff entered from January to March. > At the end of 1999 I want to extract > all tasks and appointments from my 1999.pim file into a 2000.pim file which > then will become my CUR.PIM entered in PE.CFG. > > In order to do this I would need to sort 1999.pim by task date.

The dictionary is small, maybe 2.2 mb compared to the much larger (but more capable) Collins. David Sargeant would be better able to give details, since he's tried them both...I've never gotten the Collins. I just vaguely remember some remarks of his to the effect that Collins was much more comprehensive. Collins is available from Thaddeus, but KD is basically junkware (find it in the closeout bin, if you're lucky). My dictionary needs are light... my spelling's usually not too bad. A thesaurus would probably come closer to being more useful to me, tho I already have (in addition to KD), a dictionary and thesaurus built-in to Framework 4, which I also run on the LX. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 9 Oct 1999 18:25:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ball Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ball MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Ed O'Keefe wrote that..."I thought about an extra Ptop but then decided to keep just one.

Very important for task switching. - Very easy to enter notes without any particular format. - Easy to search based on keywords, and do logical operations in searches. What I did not like: - It is not possible to export the whole database to ASCII, and to import back an ASCII file into FFDB. This is very important for exchange of information with other applications. This could be an off-line tool, like gdbdump&gdbload. - The list view does not show the accented characters used in many european languages, as a-tilde - they are shown as a space. Improvements I would like to see: - It would be nice to have F2 to enter a new note, and F3 to call Memo - all the built-in PIMs use F2 for a new record. - The file name currently open should be shown in the title bar. - It would be nice to be able to organize the notes in some hierarchical structure based on a category, for example: Work +-Project +-Proj1 notes +-Proj2 notes +-People notes Private +-People notes ... This way it could be possible to organize the information in areas, and make searches in sub trees (e.g. search only in Work notes). You can do this with keywords entered in each note, but it is difficult to remember to enter always the same keyword for the same area. Conclusion: The issue about exporting to ASCII is the only one stopping me from registering and using FFDB. I do not want to enter a lot of information into a database that I cannot extract later. Thank you Brian for a great program!

But in anticipation of this, I started using my backup LX. Last week, this backup, which was now primary, seems to have dies a horrible death. I turned it on, and it screamed terribly; I couldn't turn it off, only shift-on; but then it came back. I was able to get the battlog keystroke in in time to see the battery level plummet, so I suspect some kind of short. I took out my 5MB flash card, changed batteries, removed backup battery, but nothing I do can convince it to even gasp now. So, now I'm using my actual primary, but I can't live without it to get it upgraded (both are 1MB models). I would like to find a place where I could get this repaired, get the speed doubler installed, and get an inexpensive (4MB?) memory upgrade. Any takers or suggestions? Am I better to just retire this for spare parts and upgrade the primary, perhaps picking up a new backup RSN? Thanks for any thought you might have.

I would like to mention some of my mainstays from my old DOS days that, surprisingly, I have not migrated to my LX. I have not seen anyone mention any of these. Each of these is also something I registered shareware. 1. QEdit. I have not seen anyone mention QEdit. Interestingly enough, I don't use it, but I was never without it in the Old Days. On the LX, I don't really do much with editing files, and my tastes have since become very vi-centric, but this is an excellent DOS program. 2. Directory Freedom. Another Old Days fave, that I have not used on the LX: Directory Freedom. This is my hands-down choice for XTree-type navigator (actually not all that XTree look-and-feel, but some similar functionality). 3. 4DOS. Great command.com replacement, but really nice to have a hard disk for (swaps out on subshells, etc) 4. Express Check. I still find Quicken cumbersome for some of the things I did all the time with this. This is one of the best checkbook programs ever. It is nice to have text file data formats, too. I guess with the (G)UI of the LX, I just haven't felt the need for most of these, although I think DF and QEdit might be handy sometime when I get the chance to copy them over (maybe after I get that 4MB upgrade :-). Another reason is that my FreeBSD box is my primary desktop, and I use LXTools on that for xfer. I just don't have a lot of my old DOS utils on my FreeBSD box, I guess. (I've got them all on my IBM RT, though ... hmmm, guess I should port LXTools to AIX 2. :-) -- Clark K.

If it was just that, I'd just say coincidence, but I have been coming across a number of other corrupt files. This may all stem from an incident about 2 months ago.

After I went through a number of backup cycles, to the point where my backups from that time are gone, I started noticing more problems. A number of executables that would crash, or function improperly. A single character in a C source file that had changed, or a library file that would no longer link. Text files that now had typos. No real pattern, just a random scattering of errors accross the drive. It's possible this all happened when I swapped the batteries. I can't think of any file I've used successfully since then, that later had problems. Has anyone else had problems like this? There is one other thing. Most of the time when I have to reboot (alpha version software), the screen is really scrambled until the ds driver loads. Sometime though, the screen looks normal, or very close. I have heard that the screen scrambling varies by LX, but is it normal to vary on the same one?

Thanks for the solver formula (also to Etienne) By the way, during weekend, I develop one formula during this weekend by different approach, i.e. by measuring weight. Weight can be calculated by: 1.(PI*(0.5*OD)¬2-PI*(0.5*ID)¬2)*w*d. Which is volume of the coil minus the core, times density (d), where w as width of the coil. 2.OR by PI*L*t*d, which is weight of the material, regardless it is in roll or not By combining above two equations, my final formula will be: OD¬2 - ID¬2 = (t*L)/(PI*0.25) Which results are similar to yours. Curtis, at the same time, I would like to express my grattitude for softwares that you wrote for LX. Many people in the list enjoy Freecell very much, but I really love your 42 Domino.

If you had a palmtop (like the 200LX, Palm Pilot), then you know that longer battery life is possible (within certain constraints - no color, spinning HDs, built-in modems). Bottom line, WinCE could succeed if enough people were drawn to the features they offered, but those buyers will drop them like a hot potato(e) once they are aware that better is possible...

This solution works great as a means of getting my email to the 200LX. However, getting my replies back to the desktop is proving a bit more problematic. What I've been doing is composing my replies in one text file and uploading that file back to my desktop. However, cutting and pasting my replies into separate emails is somewhat burdensome. Does anyone have any suggestions to automate the process the other way? What I don't want is an email program for the 200LX that requires me to use a modem with the 200LX.

Subject: Re: ÝOT¨ PCMCIA to ISA adaptor? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit If you want a PCMCIA to IDE adapter, I may be able to find these, $23ish or so IIRC, from someone I know; I bought one, & want 2-3 more; It sucks the power to run the Hard Drive out of the PCMCIA card (Type 2), though, so I am not sure this'd work with the LX, I know it'd work with my PC110 though. This unit has a laptop-type cable 6" long, you could definitely supply power for the laptop drive from some other source by splicing into that cable, & use it with an LX, potentially (I'm not sure it'd work, but probably should work just fine, if you supplied external power.) Maybe get a second cable (I can make one for $12ish, or tell you how to), so you can still use the cable if you mess it up I'm not sure at all who made this, could probably reverse-engineer this one fairly easily though. If what you want is an ISA card that gives you PCMCIA slots, SCM Micro (among others) makes those. $40ish. If what you want's to plug in a PCMCIA card, and have one or more ISA slots in an external cage, lessee, I remember seeing two companies that make these, one was in Germany, one in the USA IIRC. Prices were astronomical, though, like $1500ish for a 2-slot unit, or so. Just cannot find my bookmarks on those, though. Mark Willis R.

I've used PKZIP/PKUNZIP for years, both on a single-speed 1M 100LX & an 8M dbl-speed 200LX. Never had any trouble with the .zip files. The 200LX has 2M set aside as EMS memory, and that speeds things up a lot. Recently started using the latest PKWARE software (version 2.50) Have you considered trying X-Finder? It treats ZIP & LZH files like directories in its file view screens, and allows almost all file handling functions (copy, move, rename etc. + editing & viewing) to work inside archives! HTH Later...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I cannot recommend the IDE type. The main problems are... * It uses up one of your ports on the IDE controller. * You have to leave the card in the drive all the time, especially when you boot the computer or you will get a very long boot followed by the HDD controller failure message. All the IDE PCMCIA adapters do is to hook the ATA PCMCIA card right up as a disk controller on your system. There are no electronics on the adapter. When you take the card out, it is like taking a hard drive out of your system. The ONLY way to really make this work is if you have one of the new machines that has the auto detect IDE drives on bootup feature that works the right way, and if you put the card in the drive before you boot up each time. Not all of the auto detect BIOS work the right way, or are very slow (several minutes to boot). * If you care, the IDE adapters are for ATA type flash cards only. No linear flash, no modems, ethernet, SRAM cards, etc. That is because it uses the controller on the card. I had one of these, and I gave it away for free to a guy who is now having problems with it (I warned him!). Now he is not speaking to me, ha. I communicated with a number of people who also had the same experience, nobody had one working that I could find. I know that the hacker in us (especially HPx00 owners) makes us want to try these things, I knew that there were problems when I got mine, but take my word for it, they are horrible. Much better to get any other type of reader. Now that digital cameras are so popular, you can get readers that read the CF type of cards pretty cheap. I got an internal ISA card reader and it is great. (Probably someone has one of these working, and will flame me, but the average person's chances of getting it working are minimal).

This excellent package allows users to view the contents of many different file types. Particularly appropriate to the HP 200LX, it has a Lotus 1-2-3 .WK1 spreadsheet viewer, and a .PCX file viewer. You can create and extract from .ZIP archives (even build self-extracting .ZIP files). A WordPerfect file viewer and early Microsoft Word .DOC file viewer and .GIF and .TIF and .BMP file viewers are all part of the package. It's a great tool for file management and manipulation. It also includes a binary file editor. Unfortunately, to use every feature, it takes up a considerable amount of disk space - as much as 1,989,591 bytes on my machine with all the viewers and overlays and nothing compressed. If things get tight, lots of unneeded files can be jettisoned. It is also happiest with a lot of conventional memory - over 300 Kbytes is best. Another favorite of mine that I just discovered in a rummage sale for 75 cents(!) is a Scrabble game from a group called Leisure Genius, carrying a copyright date of 1986. The six files needed to play it on the 200LX amount to a total of 91,072 bytes, after Diet is used to compress the executable. It plays a really good game and allows you to choose how tough an opponent the computer is. You can also save and resume games at any time. It does consume quite a bit of memory during play, as much as 275 Kbytes.

You can use PNR (Palmtop News Reader) to read and write email on the palmtop and use LXTCP on your desktop to "grab" the files from your palmtop and send them using the modem in your desktop. The software you will need to download from SUPER is PNR and LXTOOLS for DOS as well as LXTCP which you run on the desktop.

Qbasic and Quick Basic will both run well on the 200lx. They both contain excellent help. A number of tutorials are available on simtelnet. I believe (but I'm not sure) that the url is www.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/basic. That's close enough that you should be able to find it. I believe there is also a doc directory. Most of the tutorials are text. Qbasic is the interpreter that came with MSDOS and is also shipped with Win95 and Win98 on the cd in the \OLDDOS folder. Some OEM versions don't have it. Others do. You'll need Qbasic.exe and Qbasic.hlp. Quick Basic 4.5 is available for purchase at Compuserve's online software store. Both are Microsoft products and they are similar except that Quick Basic is a compiler and Qbasic is an interpreter. Quick Basic exe's are faster but not a lot faster than Qbasic's interpreted code.

It's on the dialog you get when you click "Make an EXE". You can choose one that requires brun4.5 and one that doesn't. On the 200lx, unless there's a Sysmgr problem, I'd choose to use brun4.5 unless I was distributing the file.

With the help of another list member, I have found that the datafile for HP-SOK is bad. Two spaces on level 39 that should be open are not, which makes it impossible to solve. There are three copies of HP-SOK on the Thaddeus CD-Infobase and all have this problem. An ascii graphics version of Sokoban shows the correct level 39.

Over the next three days I found a piece of plastic, part of some ring, then a short 2cm spring, quite strong, then the source of the POP sound: My backup palmtop was charging and I looked up something in it, and noticed the right cap was missing. On closer look, the spring and protective ring were missing too! Hmmmm.. the whole clutch just gave out and popped out! Even closer look reveals the plastic all aorund there looking like it melted from heat!!! I know that no heat was present, not to cause plastic to melt, so I suspect a chemical melting. I do not know what type of agents will eat up the plastic, but it sure seems to have done the trick! This is a unit I purchase used. It had (and still does) a nice hinge. I am sure the hinge is on its way to a blissful nirvana, and I will avail myself to the repair services of Thaddeus. Any ideas what this may have been? Very strange indeed.

If you have permission, you can edit your own Notes "Person" file (which is the entry about you in the mail server's address book) to add an alternative e-mail address under "Forwarding address". This will bounce all incoming mail from your Notes address to your alternative e-mail address. It might also be possible to do this by editing your "Location" file, but I haven't yet figured that out. Also, if you have permission to run macros on the server, it's rather easy to create a macro that is triggered by incoming Notes mail, and sends notification to your alternative e-mail address including a copy of the Notes mail in its body. This way you will have a copy of each message in both Notes and in your other e-mail.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi all, since about a week, I have a problem that when I work for a longer time without rebooting. Going into DOS using either Ctrl-123 or iver the Application Manager, or any other way for that matter, I find myself typing, but the letters don't actually appear on the screen. I can type 16 characters, and then the palmtop starts beeping after each keystrokes. Looks to me as if I could only write into the keyboard buffer. Has anyone had a similar problem and knows a solution, before I start, taking all the software off and reinstalling? Installed: xFinder, moreexm (which doesn't work for some reason), exkey, buddy. and several others that shouldn't interfere. Another thing is that I see an X in the last row of the application manager. Seems to me it must be Buddy trying to tell me something, but so far I haven't found out what... Well if anyone can help me thanx, if not wish me luck on yet another sleepless night next to my trusty companion.

The budget/cash flow program I'm using isn't an ordinary DOS program. It's a program written specifically for the Radio Shack PC-6 pocket computer in it's extremely primitive (and very much proprietary) form of BASIC. It would not run on any other kind of computer and would be nearly impossible to decipher without a manual for the PC-6 computer. Even with a manual, it would be difficult to decipher because I used many undocumented tricks to make the program and all of it's data (including a 100 record database) fit into only 16K of memory. I've seriously considered re-writing it in QBASIC for my HPLX, but it would be a major undertaking requiring far more time than I can devote to such a project. There are many differences between a PC-6 and a regular PC that would have to be taken into consideration. For example, to start with... I already know that all variable storage and retrieval routines, as well as all routines that format data on the screen would have to be completely re-written. If you're really interested in how it actually works, let me know via private email and I'll attempt to describe it in functional terms. Too bad you can't see it in action. :-( It's served me very well for over 20 years, now. :-) Cheers!

The StarTAC digital phone when connected to my APEX Mobile Plus Cellular modem, switches to analog to do wireless data transmissions, at 9600 baud. The Qualcomm 860 communicates in digital at 14,400 baud. I purchased the cable for the Qualcomm, which connects to the bottom of the phone, and then has a male 9 pin serial connector at the other end. I got the phone communicating with my laptops, using Windows 95 & 98, but can not get it working on my palmtop. I am using the connectivity cable to connect to the palmtop, and then a gender changer to connect to the Qualcomm cable. I had to use a gender changer because both the HP connectivity cable and the Qualcomm cable have male ends, so the gender changer acts as an union between the two cables. I even used an ohm meter to make sure the gender changer is not faulty. I also have two connectivity cables, and have two palmtops, and can not get my LX to communicate with the Qualcomm. On my laptops I had to change the comm port speed to 19,200 per directions from my cellular provider, in order to get the phone to communicate with the laptop. I have setup the LX data communication program to com1 19,200 baud, and left all the other settings to default. I have tried removing the nofiddle.com entry in my autoexec.bat file, and have also tried removing my autoexec.bat file completely to make sure I don't have something in there conflicting with the serial port somehow. What I am wondering are how are people using external modems with their LX? Is there something else I can try? I have tried changing my mode statement in my autoexec.bat file to change the port speed to 19,200, but get an error message telling me that is not supported on this computer. I don't know what else to do, and I thought maybe somebody has some ideas. If I can't get this phone to communicate with my LX, I will exchange it back for the digital StarTAC, but then will have to go back to using my PCMCIA modem, and when I want to go online without being able to connect to an AC outlet, the LX's battery life is measured in minutes, verses the new Qualcomm's built-in modem not putting a drain on my LX's batteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a null modem adaptor? The HP's serial cable is made to look like a modem (DCE) to your computer. You're plugging it in to another modem device, your phone.

As some of you has told, unfragmenting the Hp200 could be a dangerous operation, especially unfragmenting a big (40 Mb) pcmcia card. Isn't it? My problem is that I must unfragment both the c: drive and my MagicRam 40 Mb pcmcia card; moreover in the c: drive there is the permanent Carousel.tmp file (hidden file). Then: 1) which is the safest software to unfragment the c: drive with Software Carousel installed (is it necessary to remove the hidden attribute to Carousel.tmp?)? Is it correct using the Software Carousel disk optimizer when the Carousel.tmp file resides already on the disk (BTW what is the right command to run it)? 2) which is the safest software to unfragment big (40 Mb) pcmcia cards? can it be use frequently? I couldn't use it if every time I have to back up the card: you well know what it means baking up a 40 Mb card through a PC serial connection!

Then I have seen the fail CRC error message. This seems to be difficult for me to reproduce now on the 200LX. But, It was not a corrupted ZIP file, nor a corrupt PKUNZIP. It was a badly confused PKUNZIP that got past the memory check and then ran out of memory. See how much memory you have free in DOS using MEM. Then run PKUNZIP and check its response. Then exit System Manager (More Applications, Application, Terminate All...) and see if you have a differing amount of memory available.

All of the applications that you have runnning (including Filer itself and the 200 shell) are taking up their own memory allocations. To verify this, run raw DOS by terminating all apps. (& , menu , App , Terminate , OK) then run chkdsk and see how much memory is free. (mine says 576064). Then run the 200 shell by typing "200" and press "&" to see "More Apps". At the bottom of the screen mine now says 397K free / 499k total. Now run the Filer app and start DOS (menu Option DOS) and run chkdsk again. It will now show you how much memory is left. Mine says 367168. Having done all of that, I can report that pkunzip (2.04 g) works just fine from Filer DOS and will unzip a rather large zip file. I suggest that you run your zip programs from raw DOS where you REALLY have all memory available. If you cannot run it from there, then something is rotten, either the zip program(likely), or the zip file (unlikely), or DOS on you palmtop (bad news unless it is the way you have DOS configured).

I'll keep using my lotus spreadsheet! > >I wouldn't mind hearing about the functionality, though. Perhaps I could expand >on my current spreadsheet... First of all, visualize an old form of budget/cash flow management... the envelope method. Each kind of expense has it's own envelope labeled with the expense name and the amount needed to meet that expense for each month. Every first of the month, each envelope is filled with it's notated amount of cash. Throughout that month, each time an expense has to be paid, the money is taken from the appropriate envelope to cover that expense. In this way, one's budget and cash flow is managed using many different expense categories with reducing balances. The total of funds in all of the envelopes equals the full amount of funds available at any given point in time. The above system looks good in theory, but in actual practice, it's far too much hassle. One of the biggest problems with this method is that exact change would be needed to pay bills during the month or to distribute funds to each envelope on the first of each month. Among other problems is that in today's world, not all bills or expenses can be paid in cash. My program uses the same philosophy but solves all of the problems associated with that old envelope method. It uses an user input interface that looks a lot like a checkbook register, except for a couple of things... it also requires that each credit or debit be assigned to an internal virtual expense envelope and each transaction record has a field to indicate whether that transaction has been cleared. Each credit or debit is automatically taken from or deposited into the program's user selected internal virtual expense envelope. By working this way, the total of the contents of the virtual envelopes will always equal the balance in the program's checkbook register. Other budget and cash flow programs simply allow cash flow problems to occur and then expose those cash flow problems long after they have happened, expecting the user to solve those problems, after the fact. My program actually prevents those cash flow problems from occurring in the first place by pointing out potential problems in real time and forcing the user to immediately solve the problem by re-evaluating priorities and making the necessary decisions before it will accept a related transaction entry. In other words, my program will not allow the user to take more funds from an envelope than it actually contains. ;-) Whenever the user is not performing a transaction, the default screen shows a full list of the expense envelopes, their contents and by how much their contents differ from what they should contain at this point in time. My program offers a lot of added functionality and automation to the envelope budget/cash flow system by handling all of the details internally so it works kind of like a spreadsheet, except that it's much smarter. Just a few examples of the things it automates: 1. The program uses the data in the program's checkbook register database to reconcile one's checkbook and that transaction database is easily searchable by almost any criteria. 2. The budget screen automates all necessary calculations to help the user produce a perfect budget and it's data is directly used by the program to automatically allocate paycheck deposit funds into the various virtual envelopes. 3. It alerts the user when an expense payment is due. If you would like more detail of how it works, just send me a private email asking for more detail. I'll reply to that personal email with a copy of an email I sent to a BASIC programmer a while back that explained it in more detail. It might give you even more ideas on how to improve your own budget/cash flow program. If you implement some of my ideas and functionality into your program or spreadsheet, please consider sending me a copy of your program or spreadsheet. I hope you find my ideas and basic philosophy useful to some degree. :-) Cheers!

I bought a null modem cable, that has 9 pin serial ends (was told they are called RS232 ends) on both ends, to connect between the cable that plugs into my phone, and my HP connectivity cable, and it works just fine. The only catch was the length of the three cables ended up being about a mile and a half. So I figured I would shorten these, and try to combine them, and that did not turn out so pretty. My plan was to take the cable that plugged into my phone that had a standard 9 pin serial end on it, and cut the end off, and then take the HP connectivity cable and cut the 9 pin serial end off that, and combine the two, to make a nice short cable. The local repair computer store that sold me the null modem cable, told me that a null modem cable is nothing more than two wires switched in the cable, pins 2 & 3, the transmit & receive wires. So the first thing I did was to cut off 9 pin serial end of my phone cable (luckily leaving enough exposed cable to reconnect it). I then proceeded to attempt to match each pin of the 9 pin serial end to the color wires that went to each pin, using my ohm meter. This is where I got into trouble. I figured this would be very easy, there were 9 wires in the cable, and 9 pins, one wire goes to each pin, right? Well guess I am not as smart as I thought I was, because I could not understand what my meter was telling me. For example, when I had the meter in one of the pins, 3 of the wires had partial continuity, there was resistance, but not a direct connection. How could this be? I could see if maybe the wires had a calculated resistance in them, so as to act as resistors, but the same pin connected to 3 wires, that did not make sense. Then as I watched my analog meter more closely, I noticed the needle had what looked like a heart beat. It would move just slightly, with about the same rhythm as a heartbeat. So I figured my body was somehow causing this, being in the circuit, with how I was hold the leads, so I put the leads down, so I wasn't touching them, and the same thing still happened, bounce, bounce, bounce. I didn't get why this was. When I checked the rest of the pins, only one of the wires matched exactly to a certain pin, with no resistance. The rest of the pins either did not match to any wires, or they had a small amount of resistance. I ended up putting the cable back together, figuring that the 9 pin serial end, which was larger than a standard 9 pin serial end, like the end to connect a serial mouse for example, must have some built in electronic circuitry in it. That was my best guess. I cut out as much out of the cable as I could, to make it as short as I could, to keep the size to a minimum, so carrying it would take up less room. Then I decide to cut the HP connectivity cable down to make it smaller, and reverse the wires like the guy at the computer store said to do. So I cut the connectivity cable just after that cylindrical thing (If I recall it is some sort of iron shield to help prevent some interference) and proceed to make a diagram to match the 9 pin serial end pins to the wires that connected to them. This was easy. Each wire went to only only one pin. I then proceeded to cut out the long length of extra wire, in the connectivity cable, to make it also as short as possible. But when I connected all the wires, I deliberately reversed the wires for pin number 2 & 3, per directions from the computer store worker. Well I had this cable all put back together, and it did not work. Before I put the connectivity wires the way they were, I decided to do figure out how the null modem cable was wired. This is where I got into trouble for the third time. As I started to draw a map as to what pin on one end went to the corresponding pin on the other end, I got the most confused.

Then I cut the null modem cable to as short as I could make that, and that one went fairly well. When I cut all these cable, to shorten them, I used that heat shrinkable tubing to put over each wire I connected, and used a heat gun to shrink the tubing. I can't tell you how many wires I soldered together, forgetting to put the tubing on first. It was starting to really piss me off, couldn't remember such a simple task, tubing first, solder second. Then the large tubing that I bought to put over all the 9 smaller tubing connections, did not fit over the p connections, so I ended up having to use some black tape to bundle the 9 tubing covered connections, and then used the large tubing on just the very edge of the black tape connection, to help keep the black tape from unraveling. This whole mess, believe it or not, does work. It is not very pretty, but worse yet, is not very small. There is 3 cables, with six ends, plus that big bump in the connectivity cable, and then my three ugly connections, making this total cable length, that used to be a mile and a half, still now 30" long. Not what I had in mind for my end result. I was hoping for just one short cable, maybe 10" long, to connect my phone to my LX. Well I don't feel like I succeeded in this endeavor. I was planning on carrying the cable with me, and if while I am out and about, and want to send or receive some email, or download my newsgroup messages, in my spare time, I would be able to. Well I am able to, but if someone walked up to me, and asked me what I was doing, and then seen this cable cluster, I would be embarrassed, even though I am able to net, from my pocket, and with this new digital phone, with a built-in digital modem, will not draw power from my LX, like the PCMCIA modems did. I haven't went on for any length of time yet, because during the week my cell rates are 19 cents a minutes, whereas I pay $9.99 a month to have unlimited weekend usage, so I will test out how long I can be online, without being connected to an AC outlet, using this new phone. I am guessing it would be as long as I could still focus on the screen, where my 33.6 modem would draw down a new set of alkalines in only minutes. So to conclude this, does anyone have the above mentioned adapter that came with their HP CPACK kit, that is both the gender changer, and null modem adapter in one, that they would like to sell? This would at least allow me to eliminate the one cable that is in the middle of my phone cable, and my connectivity cable. I don't recall ever getting one of the adapters, but I would swear I have the HP CPACK kit. I do have two connectivity cables, with two LX's, but no above mentioned adapter. Can anyone maybe shed some light on which wire in the connectivity cable that I could switch, to eliminate the null modem cable I am using? Sorry about the long winded post, that I broke into two pieces so as not to get rejected, but I needed to explain what happened. The new Qualcomm 860 phone I have is really cool. It is supposed to be a digital wireless connection, at 14,400. The disadvantage, which is not an issue for me, is that if I am not in a digital area, I can't go wireless. My old analog StarTAC, which I used with my APEX 33.6 modem, would work in the analog area, but would only connect at 9600 baud, and sometimes only 4800 baud. This new phone has separate transmit and receive bar graph, on the LCD screen, that is really cool. You can watch as the modem is sending and receiving data, in different amounts. There is like 10 different levels in each bar graph. It reminds me of watching my audio video receivers equalizer in action, when the music is playing. I know I am easily amused. :-) This new digital connection is defiantly faster than the older analog connection I was using, but now I have to pay full rate for the peak time I am online wireless, whereas the older analog connections when made through a special modem pool, accessed by a special dial prefix, *3282, was a few cents cheaper, but if the digital connection is faster, and cleaner, than the time it takes to send or retrieve a set amount of data should be less, therefore reducing my airtime charges. Just thought I would share this with everyone, and any help on the above issues would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft representatives have urged House and Senate members to cut President Clinton's proposed funding for the division by about $9 million this year. And nonprofit organizations that receive financial support from the company have also urged key congressional appropriators to limit spending for the division when they begin their final negotiations on the Justice Department budget, possibly as early as Monday.

Thats wise. You should try PalEdit which is a small text editor with the looks of the built in Memo. In addition it allows simple and easy database operations on structured ASCII text as you describe.

My login and password are definitely correct and, for the "IP", "DNS" and "Alternate DNS" numbers, I have each set to "0.0.0.0", which I believe is appropriate. (I have also tried setting the DNS and alternate DNS to specific Pipex-relevant numbers which work with the normal POP number, but still no joy). For the "Dialing script", I have tried both "CHAP_Script" and "Pipex_Script" to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions as to why isn't working, I'd be extremely grateful!

It's a portable floppy disk drive for 720kb & 1.44Mb disks. I don't use it anymore. It is almost new (very, very little used, really) and works perfectly. I have not kept the original box, sorry,but I do keep it's manual and drivers disk :) I am asking US$130 for it, shipping included. This is not the first time I post this ad. I hope this time I get a real customer ;) In short: I ask US$130, and you get: -The drive -It's original cable, manual and driver (even the original bill if you want it) You do NOT get: -The original box (sorry) -The transformer. It is needed to recharge it's internal batteries (unless you are an european, the one I use will be unuseable for you). Any transformer from 9V to 18V will work (AC or DC, that does not matter).

Did anyone else out there > notice this or is it just my problem? Hi, I don't know Eudora. But I think, since the mail-relaying mechanism does not generally need to parse the "Date:" line (a tedious job!), therefore mails with such "Date:" would arrive savfely. And then the mails would be appended to the mail-folder as it is. Then the folder would be opened by a mail-reader. If the mails are to be shown in the original order as they are in the folder, there would be still no need to parse the line. The line would be displayed as it is. So far, so good. But if there is a date-sorting feature in the mail-reader, or if the mail-reader always parse the Date-line in order to display the date uniformly in its own style, there would be a problem. The first problem I could imagine is a overflow of time_t. This would cause an undefined behaviour of the mail-reader upon parsing, sorting or converting such dates unless this limit be explicitly handled and stated in the manual of the software. The current time_t is usually defined to be of type (signed) long in the C language in the include file (I have no idea about other languages.) The value of time_t record the numbers of seconds from an "epoch" of 1 January 1970. Thus the last second this variable can handle would be usually (time_t = 0x7FFFFFFF = 2147483647) 2038-01-19T03:14:07Z where 'T' in the ISO-format is a separator and Z means the "Zulu" time, i.e. UTC. The above "2049" obviously exceeds this value. "Undefined behaviour" at this moment means, there are a variety of possibilities - either the program tries to detect an overlow and handle it explicitly or it just "lets it happen" (possibly a "wrap-back" (sp?), or ÝCtrl-Alt-Del¨, ..., etc.. "Eudora" does not seem to handle this case since it displays a blank line without issing warning messages (?). (Assumption of the C language). Of source, it might have been an intention that a blank line be used to signal an error. But time_t is a UNIX time-keeping strategy. Why is it used here to explain the problem? So far as I'm aware, the programmers tend to convert a string-time to time_t, which is required (ISO/ANSI) to be an arithmetic type, because it is linear (or affine for the purists) and is thus more convient for jobs such as sorting or timezone- conversion. There are fucntions unix2dos() and dos2unix() in the Turbo C 2.0 library for conversion between a dos-time and time_t for instance. By he way, Note that Turbo C 2.1 is freely available and run well on our palmtoip. Does anyone know the difference between 2.0 and 2.1? And should I switch to version 2.1? Also, the Real Time Clock on our plamtop can record a year of 9999. But not MSDOS. I don't think I could easily bulid a Y2K-Bug, but a 2038-Bug into a C-programm. regards Rudi ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 13:49:10 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nan-shan Chen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nan-shan Chen Subject: Anyboady runs Fortran 77 on our palmtop?

It's small, fast (not the fastest when reg. exp. is used), and it supports recursision. That is to say, xgrep -r *.* will search in all files in the current and subdirectories for the expression. And the author Robert Nordier is a nice guy. I complained to him that it could not handle long lines (although the standard UNIX grep does not handle long lines either) because I usually append e.g. a whole abstract as a single line to my chronological log files. This is what I got from him: ------------------------------------------------ Thank you very much for your message. The attached file, xgsrc.zip, contains three files: xgrep.s The original source code patch A patch (UNIX diff -u) on xgrep.s above xgrep.com A new version of xgrep (1.04) I have increased the line buffer size from 1024 bytes (max line length of 1022 bytes) to 16384 (max line length of 16382 bytes). Because of the way xgrep is written, it will probably require various code changes if you need to grep lines much longer than that. (The UNIX System V grep, on which xgrep was based, also cut lines longer than 1022 bytes.) I hope this will be some help (and that the new version works OK: it is a long time since I looked at the code :), but let me know if you have any problems. ----------------------------------------------- So, xgrep on my palmtop also became the most long-line-capable among all clones of grep I've tested. I think xgrep is a "must" on our palmtop. It's one of the best and most frequently used on my palmtop! Please let me know if you guys and gals (sp?) want this version. I mean the binary. Please write him for source codes. I once saw that it is collected on S.U.P.E.R. too.

Judging from the docs, it should be able to run on the LX, but I haven't tried it.

And this is my approach too. They are to be shared on different systems (UNIX in my case). No problem of versions, upgrades, and so on. I did not like long lines. But now, I append everything as a single line to my database files and "xgrep" them. Whenever I'd like to read the output comfortably, "fmt" is a quick solution. For the first zoom mode of our palmtop, fmt -64 is a proper width (my default). For special symbols, I currently use LaTeX syntax. And I'm getting used to reading them. :) ASCII ist the most portable database format. :) And there are enough utilities to make them very useful right from our pockets.

Comments: To: Russel Brooks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Empire is one of the early war games that was converted to a computer game sometime around the middle 80's. Another, more complex version became popular on the net during it's early text only days. It was played via email for years. The original version was upgraded into a game called Empire Deluxe and has been a popular play by email game for years. It was also one of the first commercial games to be played interactively over modems. Unfortunately it's too long a game for that to work very well. The typical game involves a few hundred moves and can take days to play. Do a web search for more info on it, including screen shots and instructions. Be careful to look for Empire Deluxe. The other empire that's a text net game is very different. It might work on the palmtop but you need several other players. Also avoid Empire II. It's a totally different game. As to where to get it, I'd watch ebay and other auctions. Also a note on some empire newsgroups might get you a copy. I think it's been out of production for some time. I will say this about Empire. It and the flight simulator are the only games I've ever played for any extended length of time. And I've probably spent 100 times the hours with Empire that I have with the flight simulator.

For one thing, defragmenting, even if it works correctly, involves a LOT of writes to your card. Given the fact that writing wears them out I think you would considerably shorten the life of the card. To say nothing of the danger of corruption if your batteries go, which is very possible with that large number of writes at once. Additionaly, there is no head on the card that has to move to be positioned over the data. So there's no performance advantage in defragmenting. If you have software that absolutely requires defragmenting during installation, you can simulate this by backing up the card and restoring everything. If the software absolutely requires that the card stay totally defragmented, I'd consider not using it. If they suggest a defragmented disc for performance reason then forget it. You, in effect, already have that for most purposes since it's not mechanical and it's the mechanical nature of hard drives that makes defragmenting advantageous.

As some of you has told, unfragmenting the Hp200 could be a dangerous operation, especially unfragmenting a big (40 Mb) pcmcia card. Isn't it? My problem is that I must unfragment both the c: drive and my MagicRam 40 Mb pcmcia card; moreover in the c: drive there is the permanent Carousel.tmp file (hidden file). Then: 1) which is the safest software to unfragment the c: drive with Software Carousel installed (is it necessary to remove the hidden attribute to Carousel.tmp?)? Is it correct using the Software Carousel disk optimizer when the Carousel.tmp file resides already on the disk (BTW what is the right command to run it)? 2) which is the safest software to unfragment big (40 Mb) pcmcia cards? can it be use frequently? I couldn't use it if every time I have to back up the card: you well know what it means baking up a 40 Mb card through a PC serial connection!

However, I'd now like to synch the LX files (notes, contacts, dates) with equivalents on the PC. My question is this: do I *need* the HP Connectivity Pack? Or can I just use some freeware/shareware along with the serial cable that I already have? I don't need to be fancy about this, just some simple synching to a rough equivalent in Windows. I just noticed a new download on the SUPER site that synchs contacts with Outlook, and that sounds good, but I don't know what I need as a prerequisite for using this.

I think ! I've connected ! Yup you have data enabled that's for sure. Frustrating for you to see the connection terminate so soon each time! It does seem like the IrDA connection is getting out of synch for some reason. I use a Nokia 8810 and have to be careful to actually *turn if off* after each run. That's because of a bug in the phone's firmware. But apart from that it works perfectly. Does it go better if you exit from WWW/LX (getting back to a DOS prompt, with WWW/LX not loaded) and turn the phone off and turn it on again. Worth a try. Somebody on the list has reported getting the s25 working with that latest WWW.EXE. Actually I saw an s25 for the first time today and was tempted to ask if I could test it :) Sorry I can't think of anything else apart from obvious things which you must have checked: Have you used your palmtop with a landline and connected to your ISP with WWW/LX? If yes, then we can be sure your Login/Password and Login script are correct. Oh, I asked this before - is your WWW.EXE registered? The unregistered demo cuts out after 16K of data - I said that before I think. If you are unregistered that could well be the reason for the cutoff if packets are being re-sent.

This is fairly easy with X-Finder. That's what I use to open any of several DBs (each with its own icon). You could also use keystuff in a batch file. IIRC - the keystuff docs include instructions for doing what you want. X-Finder & Keystuff are both available on SUPER.

I think there's a program (called OPEN ?) on SUPER that will cause the LX's DB to open against the db of your choice. I suppose you could install this program in the LX ap manager multiple times, each time pointing to a different db of your choice. All this is theory, I haven't used it. cheers...

I must be getting feeble-minded in my old age 8-) Completely forgot to mention OPEN. That's what I use in conjunction with XF (although XF will also open DBs without it. It's much easier to use than Keystuff. The coolest approach is to use XF (with or without OPEN) to open DBs from icons...

The other major critical issue in defragmenting is that consolidated data is easier to recover, in the event that's needed. Even backups occasionally fail, or worse, may propagate a problem. I prefer to keep my stuff in neat little piles ... something my mom drilled into me I guess. Ask David Sargeant one of these days about data recovery at the lowest and most agonizing level.

(still much to learn though!) After hours of banging away at it, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I REALLY like using PE to work with my databases and text files, but so far I don't see a compelling reason to use PIM for handling appts and todos over the built-in apps. (Someone else certainly might though. This is just my personal preference.) I think the Ctl-C function that displays all the lines in the file with specific text is excellant! I used a smartclip to copy in my main database file, plus a "common user support issues" text file that I often refer to. Now I can hit Ctl-C to see only certain catagories, or all the lines in the file with specific words. I love that! Very useful! (and very fast!) Although I did load a phone.pim file with the phone numbers from my .pdb, I'm still not sure that I'll use that over the built-in phone app. Maybe I will. We'll see. I guess the thing that triggered me to look at PE/PIM this weekend was when I saw Nathalie's post where she said that all of her database files are ASCII text files. Then someone else recommended that she try PE for working with those files. Sure enough, I think that turned out to be an excellant suggestion! I had tried learning PE/PIM about 3 times before, and ended up deleting it off my LX. However, I was coming at it from the angle of using it to manage appts and todos, and I just found it more clumsy for me than using the built-ins. But this time I was coming at it more from the angle of using PE to handle ASCII database/textfiles. Sure enough, I find it to be a splendid tool for this! I also used palrun to run PE/PIM on my desktop. Very handy to be able to send text files back and forth between the LX and the desktop, and use the same app on both machines to work with them. Even if I were on a machine that didn't have PE, I can just load my files into any text editor and work with them. I'm going to continue to explore PE/PIM. I'm sure there are other excellant things it's capable of doing that I haven't discovered yet. Hope this didn't bore everyone. : ) Steve ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 20:48:45 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bob Meyer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Meyer Subject: Re: Anyboady runs Fortran 77 on our palmtop?

I use SMMx for that purpose. It lets you do what you want (click on an icon to open a particular database), and also lets you create sub-menus.

A number of programmes send faxes quite well. The issue with a portable machine is to _receive_ faxes as you are not always plugged into the telephone line. A free service WWW.EFAX.COM allows you to have your personal fax number accessible all the time. The received fax is then forwarded as a TIFF attachement to your eMail box that you can retrieve whenever you want. With Nettamer, the attachement must be UUDecoded first. The resulting TIFF file can then be view with the BGFAX viewing utility View.exe. An nice improvement would be to convince Stephan Peichl to add the TIFF file as a recognized format for LXPIC. When you set up the www.efax.com service, indicate that you are using an OTHER or Linux platform otherwise the faxes will be sent in a proprietary format which can only be read by a Windows or Mac viewer. The same EFAX service is also nice to transform any fax machine into a black and white scanner. Happy faxing ! \/ /ves p.s.

Are your _SURE_ NOFIDDLE is getting run? NOFIDDLE does not product a banner or fanfare when it runs or doesn't run. So, it is diffiicult to tell if it is. Also, if you are using SC, then you need to run NOFIDDLE in the batch file that powers the first SC work session that loads SysMgr and NOFIDDLE should be run immediately before the 200 command. Does WWW/LX Plus run fine in the first SC work session if you terminate SysMgr? If this is the case, then 999 out of 1000 cases, SysMgr is interfering. If you are running SC, then why bother going online with WWW/LX from within SysMgr. Why not just use a different work session?

Well, actually not wrong, but not fully correct. A null modem will certainly switch the send and receive pins, but it will also switch around and cross connect a bunch of the hardware control lines. Actually, there are about 5 different ways to configure a null modem adapter. The and sure send and receive pins on a DB25 RS-232 connector are 2 and 3, but I am not so sure they are also 2 and 3 on a DB9 connector. I don't know what else to say. All the signals in the RS-232 cable and null modems, etc., etc., can be very confusing and tedious to figure out. I have made my own custom cables by using a RJ-45 8-position modular phone plug on the end of the HP cable. Then I have adapters to connect to lots of other stuff. But I can't design a custom cable for you from here in New Jersey. Perhaps Dave Shier's group can.

While it's not meant to be exclusively for the DOS LX range, you might want to check it out as a potential source of information. (After all, wonderful as products such as Lotus 1-2-3 and WWW/LX are, we all secretly know that the real reason for palmtops is so you can play Freecell on the move!) There is also a discussion group for all other (less mobile!) games, if you feel so inclined.

I have successfully used the Microsoft v5.0 Fortran compiler on my 200LX, as well as an unusual, slightly non-standard one called Ellis Fortran. No need to translate the code, but if you want to go that route, I also successfully got a package called f2c to run on my palmtop years back (no, I don't have a copy anymore). This is a standard, and I think free, utility that one can obtain and compile on your C compiler (I was using MIX). It then converts Fortran source into C source, which you then compile. The resulting C source isn't meant to be legible - just functional. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I'm all for whatever works for anybody 8-) But I will point out (for folks who're thinking of using either program) that while XF may be intended as a Win32-type interface, it's configurable as almost anything you want. There's at least one guy here on the list who runs it as a Mac-like interface, while I use it like a combination of super AppMgr, Filer, icon viewer, archive front end, and remote link software. It's been months since I've used either Filer or AppMgr. Both XF and SMMx can be tricky to set up. But at least for me XF doesn't crash, and SMMx has locked up the palmtop requiring a hard reboot every time I tried to set it up 8-( Regards, Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 21:49:56 -0400 Reply-To: eugarps@worldnet.att.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bill Sprague Subject: Fluff:Omnibook 800CT Memory Availability?

I have a database which contains (at present) 1,845 records. Each record has a note field which *always* has text of varying length. In the past, any troubles I've had with this database could be cured by deleting the offending record. Such a record would usually have some garbage characters in it. At worst I would have to resort to a recent back-up (we all do backups, don't we?). I have not had any such problems in quite a while but curiosity compelled me to try Curtis Cameron's DBCHECK v1.5 program just to see what would happen. The results were disastrous to say the least. Curtis' program turned up literally *hundreds* of errors. I still don't understand how there could be that many errors and I wouldn't be aware of it. I even ran GARLIC on it and GARLIC threw up it's little shoots and said *NO WAY, Too far gone to repair* or words to that effect. I even deleted 1,840 records leaving only 5 and still DBCHECK showed errors. I thought converting the database to a CDF (comma delimited file), and converting it back to a database would help but it made no difference. I used the Connectivity Pack's XLATE utility to do this and I think I did it right. To make a long story shorter, I finally noticed that when I had the database open, in the FILE menu there's an option called EXTRACT. When you take that menu option you are presented with a dialog box called *Extract Selected Items*. The box allows you to EXTRACT selected records and put them into an entirely new database which has all the parameters of the old database. After having selected all 5 (SHIFT+SPACE) of my experimental database records, I EXTRACTED them to a database I named TEST in the dialog box. I then OPENed the TEST database and found all 5 of the records apparently intact including the notes fields. I ran DBCHECK on this new database and it came up WITH NO ERRORS! I restored my original 1,845 record database and EXTRACTed all 1,845 records into a new database called TEST2. I ran DBCHECK on TEST2 and the output from DBCHECK was as follows: 1 db header, 1 card def 1 categories, 11 fields defined 2 view point defs, 2 view point tables 2 smart clips, 1 lookup tables 1845 data records, 1845 with notes Found records: 3712 Garbage records: 0 Expected records: 3711 Deleted records: 0 No problems found with \_dat\TEST2.GDB Note the last line. I don't understand everything the output is telling me but I DO understand that last line. I OPENed the TEST2 database and there were all 1,845 records, including notes, intact. So, if DBCHECK tells you that your database is horribly corrupted, back up that precious, horribly corrupted database and try the EXTRACT option. It might help. Many thanks to Curtis for a program which gave me heart failure when I first ran it. -- Jack LaRosa mailto:jlarosa@bellsouth.net Using DS/DM HP200LX Alabama, USA ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 04:07:00 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: *.pdb file size questions Comments: To: Alan Peres In-Reply-To: <4.1.19991016103823.00a0f6d0@popmail.mcs.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Alan Peres wrote: >I had a standard file which I changed as follows: I split the name field >into a last name and a first name file.

Each has its good features and drawbacks. 1> Built-in AppMgr: Easy to use; documented in the LX manual. Limited to thirty-something apps including built-ins, and only 8 additional EXM programs. MoreEXM can be used to enable launch of many more EXMs from hotkeys, but they won't have icons in AppMgr. There are ways to get around some of the limitations. The Palmtop paper (May/June '99) has an excellent article by Ed Keefe that explains how. Can open individual DBs from icons by using OPEN, KEYSTUFF, or DBL. 2> HDM: A very nice GUI DOS program launcher. Can handle about 200 programs. Launches only DOS programs by itself, but if it's run under the System Manager, it can also start EXMs with the addition of RUN.EXE, and (maybe - I never tried it) open DBs with OPEN. 3> SMMx: A GUI launcher for DOS programs and EXMs. Can open other folders for applications (ie a separate folder for games etc) and can open DBs from icons. I could never get this one to work, but other folks use it and love it. All of these three have an easy-to-use Add Application screens. 4> X-Finder: The most powerful (and most work to configure) of the group. Can handle over 200 items in the /Palmtop (icon) screen. These can be EXMs, built-in apps, DOS progs, DBs, drive/directory paths for the file manager, even remote drives/directories. Can use sub-folders for more applications etc. Can replace AppMgr and Filer. The XF file manager can be used full or split-screen, with 2 list formats or an icon display. The XF file manager treats ZIP and LZH archives like directories. Highly configurable, but more work than the others. Doesn't have an Add Application screen. R.9 is available on SUPER R.10 (on the Vector site) adds some very nice refinements, but has only Japanese docs. There are probably more launchers available...

I have seen this piece of RAM for as low as $150, but no lower. Also, you might be able to find the part at eBay (search for omnibook and 800), they seem to approach $140 or so. I would suggest going to Kingston, getting their part number and buying it for as little as possible. Never had a problem with Kingston RAM, has a lifetime guarantee, and is usually fairly reasonable priced IMHO. I am always very concerned about not being able to find proprietary RAM (since I buy last years tech. to save money) - I make a habit of buying as much RAM as possible before I can't find it... And I don't know how much longer these pieces will be available (your opinion may differ)... I would hate to see you stuck at 16 or 32 Meg RAM on your laptop because you tried to save $20 or so...

Is it possible that the compression and error correction protocols in DOS are different from those in Windows98? I can establish very good connection from DOS, using WWW/LX (to access Internet) and ComLink (to use my palmtop as an external modem). I tried to do the same from Windows, using Internet Explorer, without changing the modem strings. But I keep getting Error 629 as a result. In DialUp there is an Enable software compression option. I tried to connect using this option and also without it, but the result was the same. Is there some other option in Windows that I didn't use? Since it works just fine in DOS, I assume that modem init strings are OK. Or I am wrong? > One item I noticed is the disparity in speeds - your modem > seems to want to connect at 56kbps while the other side > connected at 14.4kbps. :6kbps may have certain error > correction parameters set up that the other side does not > anything about.

From what I see, pkzip/unzip benefit. do any native applications benefit? Is there an easy way to check (perhaps loading with and without and checking mem utilization?) Perhaps some notation on SUPER would be useful to flag programs which do utilize upper memory. Assuming some practical programs would benefit, for the setup I have described with a fallow "F" drive, wouldn't it be advantageous to assign the 1.3 megs of original drive to expanded memory? Is there a down side? thanks, Lionel Zuckier ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 18:01:39 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stanleyd@CARROLL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stanley Dobrowski Subject: LX200 software bug Comments: To: Nathalie Bugeaud MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Nathalie Bugeaud wrote: > sometimes during the day the qwerty row of keys (3rd row) becomes the = \F1F2 > (1st row) of keys; when i type q for example the help screen pops up; = after > 10 to 20 minutes it fixes itself (the longest was 7 hours) I don't think this is a software problem. I suspect you may have some kind of loose connection in the keyboard and it gets confused about which row of keys is which. The keyboard is designed as a matrix of rows and columns. The intersection of each row and column is a key. If the wiring is faulty, then when the BIOS thinks it is scanning one row, it is really scanning another. So, it misinterprets your keypress. And this will fix itself periodially, not because of time, but probably due to handling of the palmtop and shaking things around a bit. You should probably contact Tom Rundel in Germany (www.rundel-d.com) to see if there is anything he could do to fix it.

True. I've never liked the utilitarian icons that Microsoft built into Win32 and prefer using a number of Mac icons (espcially for folders). And for icon viewing, X-Finder is tops.

However, you'll need to dig up your manual for the table listing what numbers you need to key in. The basic keystroke is Alt+Menu and the number of the character.

The concept is simple, when you run the program, it will show a menu in the form of scroll-list which can be designed whatever we like. Then you can use arrow key to navigate. I made my menu like following ---Work-------------- A.Telephone of customer (pdb) 1.Sales report (Lotus 123) etc --Hobby-------------- B.Database of books (gdb) 1.etc --Games------------- C.etc 1.etc The nice feature it has i.e.you use right arrow key to scroll forward to B), C) and left arrow to scroll backward. So it doesn't matter if your menu has a very long list, in addition you normally remember the one that you use most fr ex a1 in my case then only type a1. As you can see, it can open lotus file, pdb, gdb, DOS, no problem. Pocket Launcher can be downloaded from SUPER BTW.

When I finally got to the cntrl-shift on step it never asked whether I wanted to reset the ram disk. It simply asked what year it was and what my name was. I have some backups of my c drive that are stale and a fresh version of the critical files. So I should be OK. But here is my problem. This is a 32Meg machine with double speed bought from Thaddeus. I only see a 1.3 Meg C drive. When looking at the initial configuration I I recall seeing an F drive and a swap of the disk at that point it was beyond my knowledge. And of course I never backed up the stuff that was on the F: drive. Can anyone send details about how to restore this? I need to get the right drivers that are stored on this drive. I had not had a major crash for many years and let my backup process suffer as a result. Maybe now I can write an article on how to backup & recover from a major crash. :-) Also, I would check my files for documentation that came with the unit, but alas I have a reference to all my paper files in InfoSelect.

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 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 10:49:06 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Nightmare on Leland's Street Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I don't have a 32mb LX myself (just 6mb/2x), but I had problems before with the loss of the C: drive and all the associated drivers (including the dblspeed driver, spd31.sys), which would render my LX unreadable. Restoration was fairly trivial, but difficulties were 1) not having the drivers on hand and 2) not being able to read the screen well enough to get the job done. I came up with a preventative procedure that may be applicable to you. My flash card holds all the necessary drivers for a boot, even tho the usual files are on C: During the boot, if nothing is found on C: (as in a wipe-out of the internal drive), the LX normally switches to A:, and at that point the start of the a:\autoexec checks the C: drive and if a requisite file is missing, the good stuff is copied to C: from A: and the system is rebooted. This code requires a mini-boot program "boot.com". Sample code at the start of my a:\autoexec.bat @echo off if exist c:\utl\spd31.sys goto nxt1 md c:\utl copy a:\utl\spd31.sys c:\utl a:\utl\boot.com :nxt1 The rest of the autoexec is normal. The above sample could be expanded to include other drivers and any utilities you need to complete the repair (like maybe List or an editor program). Would be nice if the upgraded palmtops included something like this as a boot-failsafe. Recovering from a lobotomy is never easy . - Longden "Batson, Dale N" on 10/19/99 10:18:14 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to "Batson, Dale N" To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: Nightmare on Leland's Street Leland, The latest drivers can be downloaded from: http://www.times2tech.com Note: you will be asked for your Userid and Password - these were provided with your original documents from Thaddeus (e-mail me off-line, if you can't find these).

It would probably help some folks to turn on their SEPARATOR message if using WWW/lx which then shows the last message they read and the current high message number. They can see if the high number is lower than they have "already" read, then they need to EDIT and set it back to the newsgroup value or as you indicated, a negative number to retrieve the last xx messages. But maybe before you set the number back down, a warning in advance would help, so that folks will know it is coming otherwise, they will continue to get nothing until the high message number catches up with their old count. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 23:14:09 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: Re: LX200 software bug Comments: To: Stanley Dobrowski MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >> sometimes during the day the qwerty row of keys (3rd row) becomes the \F1F2 >> (1st row) of keys; when i type q for example the help screen pops up; after >> 10 to 20 minutes it fixes itself (the longest was 7 hours) >I don't think this is a software problem.

It must be a short circuit on the motherboard. I have heard of shorts like that. They can sometimes be very subtle and affected by temperature as components expand and contract. I remember working on a mainframe computer once that would not boot until we raised the temperature in the room to 85F (30C) (luckily it was summer!). I've also heard of machines that are never able to boot again after an extended shutdown. The thermal stresses from cooling caused irreversible damage.

Intuit used to make a product called Pocket Quicken Connect (or something very similar) that would sync Pocket Quicken on the palmtop to the newer versions of Quicken on the desktop.

In a Portuguese palmtop I have it setup for code page 850. The accented characters are produced by pressing on the accented character (~ =3D Fn-I, =B4 =3D Fn-R, ` =3D Fn-T) followed by the vowel. The only problem is when you want to transfer the text files written in the LX to a Windows machine, that uses the newer standard ISO-Latin-1: all you accented characters are replaced by something else. For this purpose I wrote two small utilities: win2lx and lx2win (available in super.hplx.net). win2lx converts a text file written in Windows (e.g. in Notepad or Word) to the code page 850 of the LX, and lx2win converts in the oposite direction.

Christopher Lott" Subject: HPLX to Outlook Question Content-Type: text I've started using the excellent Outlook to HPLX conversion program by Curtis Cameron. I've noticed something unusual in the transfer process, and thought someone could explain it. First, I'm using Outlook only as an intermediate step in converting data from the HP to my REX. That said, I upload data files from my palmtop to the desktop. Then run Curtis' program, which I have set to transfer data from the HPLX format into Outlook. I also have the box checked which says "Modify existing contacts w/same name". When I do this, I always seem to get completely duplicated entries in Outlook. The solution is easy - I go into Outlook and delete all entries first. But it would be nice if the button did what I expected it to do. I'm guessing that it's operator error, since I've never used Outlook before this. The translation from Outlook to REX is easy with the provided software that came with the REX. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

When the "modify existing" box is checked, it tries to find each contact by matching the very first LX field to either Outlook's "File As" name or the "FullName" name. I've noticed some quirkiness here, and I think Outlook's automation features are a little flaky. But you might want to check that the first field out of your LX data file is the name. When you remap the fields, they are reported in the order that they come out of the LX file. Also, if you're mapping the LX name field to some other Outlook field besides one of the two above, it could explain this behavior. >One further matter - when I convert my calendar entries into Outlook >format (again one way, HPLX to Outlook), I get bajillions of error >messages saying that an appointment is overdue.

The answer is I had to make a transition and I offer an explantion. Despite the superb tools available (through SUPER), I found that I really needed a handheld device that I could sync with my laptop for phone/notes/calendar/etc. In addition, the size of the 200LX became an important consideration. Oh, sure, I used my holster with great joy, but often received fearful looks from folks (not good, when you're a doctor). Besides, the holster was falling apart (and the company that made it, Opus63, was out of business). Other carrying devices were not low profile enough for me. Although I'm proud to be a geek, some that I have to deal with were put off by it. I was given a Palm V and have been using it for the last 2 months. That, combined with my laptop, gives me what I need in a small package. It took me most of that time to locate the tools I needed to make it compete favorably with my 200LX (html browser, database, programmable calculator, picture viewers, etc.). On my 32 MB double-speeded 200 LX, I had absolutely everything I could ever want (thanks to SUPER and the wonderful LX user community) and it really turned me on to the benefits of palm computing. I still look at my 200LX, in it's nifty SmartDock docking station on my desk. I turn it on now and again and marvel at it's superb engineering, so ahead of its time and so powerful (still way more powerful than my first PC). I don't quite know what to do with it and all the toys and books I have for it, but that's another issue. I am writing (as one of the very early members of the LX mailing list) to thank you (the founder of the orginal LX mailing list), for all the work you've done (and continue to do) for the LX community. You're the best. I also want to say that the 200LX user community is the absolutely best bunch of folks I have ever dealt with. The help, support, and creativity that this group possesses is heartwarming. I welcome your comments (not flames, please) to mailto:dsands@cyberdude.com. I wish you and the group all the best. - Danny Daniel Z.

Does it speed up task switching? The reason I am asking is the following paragraph in the emm240 documentation: 8. EMM240 & SysMgr Since EMM240.EXE uses the same address as SysMgr's ROM pages, SysMgr applications(like 1-2-3) cannot use the EMS through EMM240 (requests from these programs will be rejected.) This version of EMM240 can safely coexist with SysMgr's task switching, since it will save/restore the page frame mapping table at the switching. I wonder if the task swapping of DOSSHELL will interfere with the saving/restoring of the page frame mapping table of EMM240.

With Nettamer I can easily read and compose my email on the palmtop. Transferring my replies is simply a matter of uploading a few files back to the desktop and sending them via my desktop copy of Nettammer. One question has arisen when using Nettamer and Buddy. Since Nettamer shells to DOS when it uses the editor for writing email, Buddy no longer works at that point. Indeed, when I restart SysMan after using Nettamer in this state, I can't even use the Menu Terminate Application option without the 200LX giving me a "Please Enable Buddy" option. Any suggestions on coordinating Buddy with Nettamer would be greatly appreciated. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 17:41:19 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , smoore Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: smoore Subject: Hello!

This obviates the need to supply any power from the LX to the GPS circuitry. I believe that GPS-Serial solutions using the 200Lx are trivial, while using a `PCMCIA GPS' seems to me to have no real advantage. Of course, the standalone GPS is also useful without the 200, which in most cases is a very substantial advantage. PCMCIA cards are _only_ useful, of course, with the computer that has the slot...

Sysmgr and EMM240 both use features of the HP200LX which are SPECIFIC to the HP200LX. as they both use the same feature (which is the mapping of the chip memory into a "RAM" disk), the Sysmgr applications cannot take advantage of the expanded memory provided by EMM240. However they do not clash. Using EMM240, TREMxxx, or any of the other expanded memory managers does not prevent you using Sysmgr. Dosshell on the other hand is blissfully unaware that it is running on a palmtop with these features, so it should have no problem taking advantage of expanded memory.

Oh, Martin, I've experienced that myself. Probably one of the hinge of the space bar is broken. That was my first unit (with a broken screen now due to a free-fall to the ground). I've glued that space bar by opening the keyboard "layout". Any it worked again before the the screen was broken. I remember having read a file describing how one should open it before I dared open it. But I don't know which one that is and where to get it. Does anyone else know where the file is?

I do not know of a lot of software for use with the NMEA standard on the HP palmtops, but that is what I would look for. I assume you are looking for a hand-held unit to go with your 200LX. I don't think you can go wrong with a Garmin GPS 12, GPSII/II+ or if you really want to kick down some coin, the GPSIII+ (comes with street maps and all sorts of stuff). If you can find some map software for the 100/200 (I've not looked, but I would be surprised if it does not exist), it should be able to read the NMEA 0183 output from most any GPS, and give you mapping (or possibly moving-map) capabilities.

I would recomment this reference text: Campbell, J., "C Programmers Guide to Serial Communications", Howard W. Sams, & Co., 1987 There is even an accompanying floppy disk that includes all the libraries he develops over the course of the book. Of course, you can just type it in yourself, as well. He starts with simple drivers, and builds to more complex/robust ones at the end. I've never used his libraries, but rather just used his book as a guide to write some quick and dirty routines as needed. This is an *excellent* book on serial communications. I've been tinkering with serial stuff for almost 20 years, and I still learned some good things reading this book. Highly recommended. I think I had a hard time finding this book - maybe I had to get my local bookstore to order it for me. And finding the floppy disk was awkward, too, if I remember correctly (it was a couple of years back). Good luck. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R. Christopher Lott, P.E. rclott@ro.com Alpha Beta Technologies, Inc.

Yes, it's a real hassle ... I don't even remember how I did it. I've just sent John a UNIX-version of it. It's quite a mess in my directories.

I do not know of a lot of software for use with the NMEA standard on the HP palmtops, but that is what I would look for. I assume you are looking for a hand-held unit to go with your 200LX. I don't think you can go wrong with a Garmin GPS 12, GPSII/II+ or if you really want to kick down some coin, the GPSIII+ (comes with street maps and all sorts of stuff). If you can find some map software for the 100/200 (I've not looked, but I would be surprised if it does not exist), it should be able to read the NMEA 0183 output from most any GPS, and give you mapping (or possibly moving-map) capabilities. Hope that helps out a little bit. - David D. http://www.marlinmedia.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 17:23:02 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Frank McConnell Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Frank McConnell Subject: Re: Need a C serial library for 100LX use In-Reply-To: "R.

There is a later edition of this book, probably published in 1993 or 1994, much fatter and which gives the same excellent treatment to the 16550 that the earlier edition did to the 8250 and Z80SIO.

The ADSP-2181 EZ-KIT & your program EZSCOP10.ZIP especially interest me. With stereo 16-bit A/D & D/A up to 48 KHz, our palmtop could possibly learn to hear, to speak and to sing; and with eprom on board. And to see? Sorry, I have not read through the page carefully yet. My TMS320 (sp?) evaluation kit (that version without floating point) on the other hand could hardly do anyting useful. I've been looking for a text-to-speech possibility for my HP200LX beside the program "tran.exe" at simtel in the directory msdos/voice/. Do you have a solution? Have anybody else thought of teaching HPLX to speak? The program tran.exe uses PC-speaker to output ascii-text-to-speech-sound. It also outputs the signal to parallel port optionally with better quality if there is a D/A connected to the parallel port. (I've soldered a passive one myslef.) And it reads the time for you too. After all, it is insufficient for our palmtop to read texts for us. I've book-marked your page. Thanks for telling us about that. PS. I really think that a palmtop would only become "complete" when there is a GPS-device built-in it. For me, it's even more essential for a palmtop, as a stand-alone data-aquisition unit, than a built-in tele-communication device. What are the technical difficulties to build a GPS into a palmtop like ours? Hope to see the next generation of HPLX equipped with GPS. (Yes, I'm aware it is discontinued.) A palmtop with automatic timezone setting. Isn't that important since a palmtop moves?

(Weight_lbs/2.2) ! converts to kilograms ! / ! divided by ! ((Height_inches/39.4)¬2) ! converts to meters squared ! -Body_Mass_Index ...... (end of equation) .... FITNESS TIP: BODY COMPOSITION- BODY MASS INDEX One of the accepted approaches to weight assessment is a technique developed by the National Center for Health Statistics called body mass index (BMI). To find your BMI, follow these steps: Step 1. Divide your weight in pounds (without shoes or clothing) by 2.2. This will give you your weight in kilograms. Answer to Step 1 is ___________. Step 2. Divide your height in inches (without shoes) by 39.4 and then square the result. This will convert your height to meters squared. Answer to Step 2 is ___________. Step 3. Divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (answer to Step 1 divided by answer to Step 2). This is your BMI. In general, a BMI range of 20 to 24 is considered normal. The desirable range for females is 21 to 23; for males, it is 22 to 24. BMI values above 27.8 for men and 27.3 for women have been associated with increased health problems, including high blood pressure and diabetes. The American Dietetic Association has classified people having BMIs greater than 30 as obese and those having BMIs greater than 40 as morbidly obese and in need of prompt medical attention. I thought some folks might be interested in this formula. If you have any really useful SOLVER FORMULAS you'd like to pass on to the group I'd be interested it seeing a few.

According to Andreas the S25 is "slow" to answer on requests from the www/lx program. He therefor modified the www.exe file to make it work.

When the "slow" problem was solved I got the phone to call my isp. If you already got the latest version of www.exe I do not know what the problem can be..

That specific wand, I've no idea. Bar code reading wands in general, oh yes. When you have a big inventory job, they play a big role in reducing the manpower costs. So for instance, you have a company that has just grown big enough that they've started having to actually keep track of, oh say for example, the computers they buy (been there, done that). So a few people end up spending a few weeks going around (this was a very small company, only a couple hundred people) accumulating data, either on printed forms or on a spreadsheet on a laptop or whatever, describing every last machine, who's using it, it's configuration, what cost center it belongs to, when it was bought, whatever else is needed to tie this in with the invoice from when it was purchased, etc. Now if they haven't ever done this before, they might not include barcodes in the formula. A year later they will have to repeat the entire chore, and all the work from the last pass will be tossed out. If on the other hand you've been around this thing and seen the excruciating pain of having to throw out the weeks of work every time you re-check the inventory, you learn that you need to be slapping bar codes onto every box as you inventory it the first go around, and next time you come around you swipe the reader and can just hit "yup" if nothing has changed. And after that has been done a few times, you realize that you need to get your tools, database, barcodes, etc. into Receiving and into the Maintenance group, so that all new machines are entered into the system as they are acquired, and as configuration, location, cost center, etc. change for existing machines the database gets updated to follow them. At that point the barcode readers are being used by the maintenance people, and you rarely have to do any more full walkaround inventories. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 03:36:46 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Tool to change Date/Time of DOS Sub-Directories in LX??

If so, can you use it with the standard apps? - There's no real complication with using a mouse on the HPLX. Just use your HP-seriel cable, and plug your seriel mouse into that. Then run any old MOUSE.COM driver - There is nothing magical about how a mouse hooks into a PC - it is just a device connected to a serial port and it has a software driver to make it work. So, yes, the 200Lx can connect to a mouse. The internal applications were not written to use a mouse in any way, so even though you connect a mouse and installed the driver, the built in apps would not care at all. But if there was some other program you wanted to run on the palmtop that did know how to use a mouse, then it would work fine. But you will have to make sure that the serial port's power is turned on and set to a wired connection before loading the mouse driver. The only other recommendation that I have is to load mouse.com on your HP get a null modem adapter and gender changer and use a serial mouse. - I have used thinpads with trackpoints for years without a problem. They are actually one of the least problematic devices on a laptop. Toshiba invented their own version but I have never liked the sensitivity range on theirs but that is a driver issue more than anything else. The only real complaint I have seen about trackpoints and their brethren is drifting and that is a user error. The driver recalibrates at short time intervals, if you leave your finger pressing in one direction it recalibrates this as neutral. Then when you remove your finger the pointer starts to drift since the lack of pressure is misread as pressure in the opposite direction. If people learn to not rest their finger on the trackpoint there isn't ever a problem. For the 200lx what might work better is a glidepoint pad. There are found on alot of new laptops and also as external devices for your desktop. Once you get used to them they are quite nice and they have the advantage of taking up very little space. The area of the pad is usually only a couple of square inches and the thickness is around 1/16" of an inch. Maybe something like that on the back of the screen in the upper right where an index finger could use it. - It might pay to look into the old mini-trackballs (if you can still find them) that used to be popular as clip-ons to notebook computers before they all had built-in pointers.

It worked and works perfectly. But, when I wanted to connect a mouse, I made a null-modem according to this scheme: F1015A NULL-MODEM 1-1 1-1 1-1 2-3 2-3 2-2 3-2 3-2 3-3 4-6 4-6 4-4 5-5 + 5-5 = 5-5 6-4 6-4 6-6 7-8 7-8 7-7 8-7 8-7 8-8 9-9 9-9 9-9 10-5 But I had to move the mouse across the whole table in order to move the cursor even a little bit. (I used amouse and gmouse.) What could cause such a problem? Is it the driver, or the type of the mouse, or the scheme, or my port, or the length of the cable? I tried to do a self-test of the com-port (ESC+ON), but unsuccessfuly, because, I think, some of the pins on the port should be connected, but I don't know which. I opened a few types of the mouse: some of them used 6 pins, some of them used 4 (No.2,3,5,7); some of them had 2 buttons, some of them had 3. Can I use every one of them or just the particular ones? Since this is the only computer I've got, I don't know anything about the mouse and the stuff like that. I'm asking you what model of the mouse and of the driver I need.. < the Genius EasyMouse+ actually works. -Has anyone used the Easy Cat serial touchpad with an HP 200LX? Seems to me one would need the mouse driver and a proper serial-to-HP 200LX serial connector. Is such a connector available commercially, or would one have to home brew it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Yep.. several of us use the Easy Cat with the palmtop. You can get the serial cable from the Connectivity Pack. You also need to use a null-modem adapter, since most of the serial cables for the palmtop are already null-modem cables. All the necessary hardware is included in the Connectivity Pack, though you can probably buy it cheaper for your purposes from Thaddeus (www.palmtoppaper.com) or maybe Shier Systems (www.shier.com). A word of warning: my first Easy Cat wouldn't work well on my double-speed palmtop; it would only move vertically, and the mouse buttons would click all the time. It worked fine on my single-speed units, and also on the desktop. A new Easy Cat worked fine on all three. < regarding the NOMOUSE driver. I haven't tried this in ACAD yet, but mostly I am very satisfied with the built-in ACAD keyboard support. I did try it when running some Win3.0 apps recently, and found similarly that in all but one case, I liked the built-in Windows keyboard handler. The one exception was Word for Windows, but alas the NOMOUSE driver didn't work at all in that program! < I have a thumbelina mouse which works fine from the sys mgr with (for example) visual basic. However if I load the driver (felmouse.com from fellows ... maker of the thumbelina) from a software carousel session it says that it can't find the mouse. I have looked at the SC help and various DOS sources but can't identify how I get the mouse driver to "see" the mouse while in an SC session. - Most likely the COM port is turned off under straight DOS mode. Get LXPRO or LXSTAT from SUPER. LXPro is a TSR you can use to turn on the COM port power, set the speed, etc. LXSTAT is a command-line utility that can control lots of things about the palmtop. To turn on the serial port power, you'd type "LXSTAT s w". ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1999 13:45:11 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , LM Cheang Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: LM Cheang Subject: Unsubscribe MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 15:20:57 +0200 Reply-To: stelem@attglobal.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Etienne Lemaire Subject: Re: tech: mouse w/ 200lx?part1of2, first half..

IP (suggested by KAZU) is a very cool combination notetaker/outliner from Japanese programmer ANTON. It's available at: http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/dos/util/machine/hp/ Not suprisingly, the docs are in Japanese. Don't let that stop you from trying it out. I can't speak or read the language either. Thanks to info from KAZU, I got the necessary fonts & font manager. You'll need both Japanese and ASCII font sets to use IP. Visit this URL for information on using Japanese fonts: http://www.palmtop.net/japanese.html It has instructions for installing FONTMAN as a device driver in config.sys and links to get both FONTMAN and the AKAGI fonts. You won't need the display driver DSP14A to use IP. Another difference from the description is that FONTMAN.INI should include 2 Akagi fonts. Like this: Ýfontx2¨ c:\font\akagi11k.fnt c:\font\akagi11a.fnt Use those fonts, and change the path to whereever you put 'em. Yes, you will need the Japanese font even if you don't read the language. IP won't run unless both fonts are loaded. Once you have the fonts, and have modified config.sys, you can install IP in AppMgr, X-Finder, SMMx or whatever program launcher you use. Move ip.ini to c:\_dat You should now be able to start up IP and open IPD files or create your own. If you want some helpful tips, I have an English language IPD file that can be opened in IP.

With a line like you have above in the Add Application screen, selecting the app in the icon screen will start it with max memory. If you have programs that need lots of memory installed in AppMgr, insert the maxdos line before the program path. What else you can do is to create an entry in the Add Application screen for just maxdos. ie Name: Max &DOS Path: c:\maxdos.com| Comment: =BF Icon: Your choice... After adding this, move it to a position before the DOS icon (or move the DOS icon to last position). Then when you hit "D" in AppMgr, you'll get a DOS prompt with max memory.

The "200" command is what starts the LX menu screens (aka AppMgr or SysMgr). I think the intent of the above is that maxdos is loaded so that its services are available to applications within AppMgr (ie, setting up an icon to run with lots of memory). Maxdos is removed after 200 terminates just for tidiness....apparently the author wanted a way to exit all applications (including AppMgr) and come back to a "clean" DOS (sans Maxdos). On my system, I don't remove maxdos... I just have maxdos -l 200 or something roughly like that. > Path: a:\bin\maxdos.com CommandLine| >so, in my case i would insert?: > Path: c:\maxdos.com c:\_dat_pkunzip.exe >does command line mean the exe file? A program, using Maxdos, is launched from the icon as described above, but Pkunzip is a special case because it requires an argument on the command line. Suppose you wanted an icon to always pkunzip a file called abc.zip. Your "Path" line would look like this: Path: c:\maxdos.com c:\_dat\pkunzip.exe c:\abc.zip Notice the correction to your c:\_dat\. This icon would always pkunzip the same c:\abc.zip file. Obviously this is somewhat limited in usefulness. >after all this, how would i launch progs with maxdos memory? Pkunzip is not a good candidate for running from an icon, but your setup above is roughly how programs are launched using Maxdos. Some programs will work better than others. There are other ways to run pkunzip that may be more flexible. For example, if you're comfortable running it from a DOS command line, setup a Maxdos icon to give you a big DOS session and then run pkunzip.... then type "exit" to return to AppMgr. I see from my new email that Peniel has given more details on how to do this. Other things are also possible... all good things come to those who are patient. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 19:49:49 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Guenther Helmuth E."

Hi Yves I have found that it is best to go into say 10 shops and compare prices. I have shopped in one place one time and another was better price next time. Hong Kong works like a massive distribution centre. ie Best prices are usually if the store does NOT carry the item on the shelf. It is usually 10-15 mins delivery from the wholesaler. Somewhere along the golden Mile shopping area in one of the side street/lanes you will find the best deals.. ie main street = higher prices generally.

You can now work in every other directory (see above) and the template file now is in \EMTEX\TEMPLATE\. - new programs in directory EMTEX\BIN\UTILITY: - CHOICE.COM added (needed for batch files but not included in palmtop's DOS) - TEXBEEP.EXE: little program that make a beep, called from batch files for acoustic signaling of questions or errors - some EXE files in EMTEX\BIN are made smaller with a utility called 'TINYPROG'. e.g. TEXCAD.EXE's size is reduced by approx. 50%.

In my experience, you can safely hot-swap most flash cards, unless your batteries are almost dead. I've had IBM flash cards designed for the 200LX that even specifically say: "In the 100LX you can't hot swap these cards, but in the 200LX you can." I realize that this isn't official HP advice, but since this is probably more of a practical matter than anything else (i.e. the person is asking if it's okay to do it, not if HP condones it) then I have to say yeah, they can be hot-swapped with impunity, and I've never had a problem from hot insertion or removal of flash cards. Modems and network cards, though, will be bad news, possibly (even probably) rebooting the palmtop.

As we thought, he was always wishing to release the source code, but had temporarily disappeared from the Internet for various personal reasons, and is not able to continue supporting DosPPP by himself. So we finally have a fully open-source internet solution: Package: Source Code: ------- ----------- LXCIC Yes LXEN2216 Yes EPPPD Yes LXTCP Yes Goin Postal No, but commercially supported by Steven Lawson WWW/LX No, but commercially supported by D&A Software What this means to the HPLX community is that even if Steven and D&A leave the community (which neither of them has any stated intention of doing so any time soon) those people who intend to use the HPLX for years to come will have source code to internet applications which can be modified as the internet changes (i.e. modified to support IPv6 after IPv4 is phased out in ten years time maybe). The only problem is that I'm currently moving house, so I don't have time to look into DosPPP immediately (other than to verify that we can recompile it on the palmtop). But it does mean that an MS-CHAP solution for DosPPP is suddenly less daunting (and able to be worked upon by a number of interested individuals). -- -- 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.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:46:06 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: medical questions MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit the below list is unnecessary in most countries where Doctors are part of society where reputation is paramount i assume you live in the US your list: I hand my own Form to the receptionist to be filled out and signed by the MD or agent: Q1.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain You can use it to answer any kind of question that has a set answer. In the example Bennett gave the answer you are getting is 'item 12345' which is then cross-checked against a database. They are also used in TV listings to set some VCRs, where the info on the barcode is channel, date, time, duration kind of stuff. But as you can print your own, they can mean anything and some can contain a lot of data. I'd guess that any wand for the HP did not read the latest and greatest 2-D barcodes, but something more basic with more limited data 'storage'. If you can think of something that makes you type in the same guff time after time, you can barcode it. You could even use it for standard phrases in a wordprocessor, and use autocorrect to turn a code into a slab of text. So instead of writing to Santa, you go 'swipe' -> "Dear Santa", 'swipe' -> "Thank you for your recent enquiry that is receiving our prompt attention", 'swipe' -> "Please can I have a 96Mb upgrade for Xmas" etc. Just don't barcode the kids, you are expected to remember their names. ;-) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 05:42:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud 9 Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars =?iso-8859-1?q?Hedstr=94m?= Subject: Re: keep your LX with you for medical emergencies Comments: To: Nathalie Bugeaud 9 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Nathalie wrote: "put on her/his glasses and squint at LX screen, then via brain to fingers and onto paper or keyboard ;)" But a medicalfile is often 10-20 pages and even bigger.It will take a very long time for the assistant to copy it to paper or keyboard.

Yes, or you can just run maxdos.exe and get a 'more memory' command prompt. snip What maxdos basically does is mark a place in memory when you first run it. You can then load more TSR's and system manager after that. When you run maxdos again it will go to that 'spot' in memory again and all programs that you loaded after the initial maxdos load will be swapped out. It literally copies all the memory below it to a temporary disk file, and frees up the memory for program use. When you exit maxdos it replaces the contents of that memory with the temp file and exits. The end result is that you can run maxdos from a system manager DOS window and get more memory for program execution. The caveat is that system manager and all programs you loaded after the inital maxdos load are temporarily disabled. This means that appointment alarms won't work while maxdos is loaded the second time.

I recently decided to upgrade from my 2mb 100LX, so I bought a used 2mb 200LX and sent it into Thaddeus for an upgrade to 8mb+DS. I've been using it for about a month, but as of friday the Accton Ethernet card is sometimes failing to initialize. I'm using LXCIC, and when it's in this mode LXCIC prints junk in the middle of the card description. Powering on/off or hard reset won't make the card work. I have to pop the card out and in to get it to see it. Once it sees it, it works all the time while it's in the slot, even if I wiggle the card while it's active. My 100LX still works great with the card. This sucks, about $360 into this machine and now it looks like another $125/$175 + shipping to get it repaired. Ugh. I guess I need to decide whether to get it fixed, or assume it was a bad decision, sell it as-is, go back to my 100LX, and put the money toward a new laptop...

For example, I launch Post/LX from within system manager using maxdos, so that if I need to compose a message, I can use PE from within Post/LX. If I don't use maxdos, I don't have enough memory to launch PE from within system manager. The problem I have is if my appointment book has any alarms set, I won't get the alarm until after I exit Post/LX, which sometimes causes me to miss a meeting a work. I have tried the alarm program that is on S.U.P.E.R. and to use it exit system manager, and launch Post/LX from a DOS prompt, but I didn't care for the way that program notified me of an alarm, by flashing the screen, because sometimes I am not looking at the screen, plus I like being able to launch Post/LX from system manager, rather than from a DOS prompt. Any ideas? Has anyone found a work around for this? Thanks in advance.

What are the technical > difficulties to build a GPS into a palmtop like ours?. GPS receivers need to have an antenna that can 'see' the satellites, and it needs to remain close to vertical. This would (in my opinion) drastically limit the real-world usability of the palmtop. Imagine having to hold it horizontal and near a window all the time. Also, electronics for this would make the palmtop itself nearly twice it's current size (based on the smallest hand-held units I have seen). You would probably need to have an external antenna mounted somewhere, thus negating the possible benefits of the built-in GPS. > Hope to see the next generation of HPLX equipped with GPS. > (Yes, I'm aware it is discontinued.) A palmtop with automatic > timezone setting. Isn't that important since a palmtop moves? The GPS units that I have seen require the timezone to be reset any time it has been off, and moved more than 500 miles. Once again, sort of negating the benefits. These things do not use a 'standard' UNIX type TZ setting, it's a raw timezone offset. I do feel that the LX and any NMEA compliant GPS are prefect companions. Having them as separate units makes each one much more usable individually.

I load SC in my autoexec.bat file, I also have several batch, start-up files, (which SC loads). I load MaxDOS in the batch file which starts the System Manager. When I want a maximum size DOS shell, I just switch to it using SC. I only use MaxDOS to run large DOS programs from icons in the System Manager, (with MoreEXM and SMMLX). My setup is relatively complex, and I pay a price with frequent hard reboots. I suspect that MoreEXM and/or SMMLX have some bugs, but I love them to much to abandon them.

I did this before coming up with the tip in this reply..(with a little help from the list) I wanted to use pe when I run Sysmgr in the background.. I have this command line in the sysmgr: post.exe |288 This gives me just enough memory to launch post and also run maxdos when I want to reply to messages..(I think you have to assign 288 kb of memory because of the special maxdos setup below) Let me explain: I usually have Filer closed when Sysmgr is running. Before I launch Post/lx I have 409 kb free. When in Post/lx I can switch to Sysmgr and run one or two applications. Any alarms goes of as usually.. Then the tip: When I want to reply to a mail/newsmessage I have this line in the post setup: maxdos.com pe.exe (actually I run the peh.bat file which then launches PE). Then I can reply to the message and exit.. The alarm/sysmgr will of course not work when I am in PE. I have to remember to quit Pe/"send" the message before the alarms work again. This setup works. It is a bit slow when I start Pe, but I swap to a flashcard on a singlespeed..but acceptable speed.. As long as I remember to finish/exit Pe before "moving on" then Alarms work..Nice to be able to read messages and also start Phonebook or any other applications too..and still be able to reply..

You can use the old font files and put them into the new FONTS directory, so they don't have to be recreated. Also don't forget to backup the MYTEX directory! Maybe I'll soon make an UPDATE.ZIP available that contains all changed and added files and a description how to update manually, but it's not sure that I'll make this.

Hmm... my Delorme Tripmate (now the Earthmate or something) doesn't seem to have to have a vertical antenna in order to lock on to satellites. (Of course, it doesn't do it very well, either. ) Couldn't you just run the antenna up into the display module of the palmtop along one side or in the back or something?

For example, now that we have the source code to DosPPP, which is a PPP driver for DOS that allows you to dial in from your palmtop and establish a serial link with your Internet provider, it will be possible to implement new login "standards" like MS-CHAP, whereas if the source was not available, somebody would have to come up with a complete replacement for DosPPP. Ergo, the fact that Rod's network of investigators finally tracked down the source code to DosPPP is a good thing, or else we might be left behind, as more and more Internet providers "upgrade" their software to try and make it so that only people running Windows can log in properly. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 00:53:14 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: PCMCIA Disks!

It looks like maxdos isn't functioning at all. here's what I get: 651264 bytes total conventional memory 651264 bytes available for MS-DOS 577632 largest executable program size and that's with some TSRs loaded before MaxDOS. MaxDOS needs a fairly large amount of disk space to put a swap file, or it will use EMS if you have any set up. Here's my maxdos install from autoexec.bat C:\BIN\MAXDOS -L -E20 -WC:\TEMP D:\BIN\KEY200 C:\_DAT\K200.TXT A:\JAPAN\MOREEXM -S10 BUDDY C:\_DAT\BUDDY.ENV 200 C:\BIN:\MAXDOS -R The -E20 allots 20 pages (320K) of EMS for the swap file -WC:\TEMP tells maxdos to use the c:\temp directory for the swap file if EMS isn't available. The maxdos doc shows the -e and -w parameters as options, but I think you must use at least -w. It's possible to use a directory on A: if you have a card, but it's a lot slower.

Correct. But in her post yesterday, Nathalie wrote that she had moved the MaxDOS icon to a position before the regular DOS icon... It IS before the DOS icon, isn't it, Nathalie?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi Everyone, Once again I ask for the sage advice of you on this list. We have two days to decide how many new 200LX's we will inventory. This is a very difficult problem for us. Here are the factors: 1. The margins on the units themselves are awful. It will mean getting a large bank loan. (I run a very conservative business and don't like to borrow -- we have no long term debt). Even getting just over 200 units, will run into 6 figures. 2. We would probably buy them only for customers that want upgrades. 3. Backlighting is moving forward slowly. My guess is that if we have a product it will be in December or January. It would be nice for customers to be able to buy a new unit and have it backlit. One thought would be to ask for a, say, $250 deposit to hold a new unit until backlighting comes. The $250 would be refundable only if we couldn't produce the backlight by, say, Feb 15. What do you think? 4. We are very backordered on used units. I don't have any immediate prospects (in the next 6 months) for getting more in quantity although that could change at any time. Any input or thoughts would be appreciated.

At the field TO: for example use the template "FILE:.ADR" and use that instead of the single address. At sending the contents will be used row at a row. I myself have created an extra MAILBOX with an email template with this approach. Then I MOVE a msg to be handle first to this new MAILBOX and use the FORWARD/REPLY from this location. Or when receiving a msg use the filter for receiving in that particular mailbox. I manage four mailboxes in that way (all in WWW/LX) and found it even more convenient then working on a normal desktop. I only still have to digger out how to collect email addresses from the internal database to a DOS-based (no manager is running) WWW/LX. Any idea by the way ?

One week later and numerous phone calls, at her expense (she's a student), and all she's been told is "Wait three weeks. If it still hasn't arrived we'll send you a form to claim for compensation". Apart from the fact this is shitty treatment over an action that was completely unnecessary in the first place, IMO, (the calculator had batteries in it and could be shown working), It chills my blood when I think what would happen if they confiscated and lost my HP200.

I'd like to point out that backlighting doesn't decrease battery life unless you actually turn the backlight on. So, while the decision to backlight or not is strictly an individual one, battery life itself should not be a direct concern the way it is with the speed upgrade. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:29:38 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Don E.

I would like to point out that the speed upgrade is not a battery hog. It does NOT consume half your battery life for double the speed, but only takes a 10-20% hit on battery life, according to your usage pattern. The effects of the speed upgrade make a tremendous difference in usability of the palmtop according to most users. Most would consider it to be the most important of the upgrades we currently provide.

I think the problem, as Ed pointed out, is that many mailers like Outlook Express or Groupwise or Netscape Messenger will send messages as HTML attachments, with VCard signatures attached, etc., without the person ever knowing they did anything "wrong." Fortunately, most of the mailers embed their version number and what not in the message headers, as in: X-Mailer: POST/LX 2.2d in the message from Russ. Obviously, we want to keep this list as text-based as possible and avoid the wasted space of HTML, RTF, vCard, etc. Ed posted the solution for Outlook Express. I will use that one, and write up solutions for the othe common mailers that add junk to the messages, and post those in the FAQ or somplace similar. That way we can quickly refer people to the information about their mailer and how to fix it. Then if they don't we can take appropriate action. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 17:38:49 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: ReÝ2¨: How many new 200LX's should we buy for resale?

The speed upgrade is definitely the most important upgrade for me, and I didn't mean to imply that it sucks up battery power like no tomorrow. I personally haven't noticed very much drain, and in any case we'll soon have even higher-capacity batteries, it seems, so the effects will be even less noticeable. The speed upgrade is definitely worth it in terms of power trade-off; anybody who thinks differently IMHO hasn't tried the speed upgrade, because once you use it you really can't go back to 1x. Without the double-speed upgrade, many people who use the 200LX primarily as a PIM would probably me more inclined to switch to a PalmPilot or something along those lines, but a double-speed palmtop will easily outpace any other organizer I've used. Anyway, what I meant was that, even though the speed upgrade doesn't use very MUCH extra battery power, the backlight will use even less, if you don't turn it on; it's not an all-or-nothing proposition like the speed upgrade is, where you can't switch it back to 1x to conserve power. (Well, I guess you could switch it back to 1x if you tried my experiment of hooking up both the 1x and 2x crystals and toggling between them with a switch, but I'm pretty sure everybody has heard the story of how THAT experiment turned out. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 19:38:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: How many new 200LX's should we buy for resale?

I agree with Peniel. If used palmtops are simply not available anymore, I'd guess that a fair number of palmtoppers will just throw in the towel and buy a new one instead. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 19:08:43 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Raymond, Timothy CPT--13CPAO" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Raymond, Timothy CPT--13CPAO" Subject: Error 65508?

I hope that I'm not the only one who doesn't know. LXTeX is a version of LaTeX, which is a language designed to allow structured text formatting and typesetting. Here's a man page on the command "latex" on hplx.net that should provide some info: The LaTeX language is described in the book LaTeX - A Doc- ument Preparation System. LaTeX is a TeX macro package, not a modification to the TeX source program, so all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present. The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the con- tent of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to realize, is to have no formatting com- mands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done by spe- cific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a sec- tion''. The primary source of documentation for LaTeX is the LaTeX manual referenced below, and the local guide in the file local-guide.tex or local.tex or some such somewhere in the directory /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex. From what I've heard, textbooks and the like, which require a lot of formatting, are often produced using LaTeX. I trust the people who know better than me, including Daniel, to step in if I've made a mistake. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 21:41:42 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , d dv Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: d dv Subject: Re: How many new 200LX's should we buy for resale?

I don't know what the popularity of the Hplx will be in the future, but I would recommend to wait till the company is trying to get rid of the machines at a good price (if that ever happens) before you buy a large stock. I bought my Poqet from California digital a while back, and they were able to make a profit because they got new units at very good prices from the Fujitsu company. Now they are trying to sell used units for the price they were selling the new ones, but they don't seem to be selling quite as many, even though the used units are backlit, more powerful than the first ones, and even compatible with the hplx machines (which is why I am still interested in one more Poqet) The moral is, don't burn yourself just to help us!

Well, I for one am patiently waiting for the backlighting, and when I get it, I don't plan to get the speed upgrade, for the above reason. There are only a very few occasions when I might wish for a faster palmtop. For most occasions it is plenty fast for me (including using DOS programs), and so since controlling the speed is not an option, and since it requires sacrificing some of my very limited palmtop memory for yet another driver, I am definitely not sold on the idea.

I think if you tried it, you wouldn't go back. It is definitely worthwhile as there is no price difference between getting the speed upgrade or not if you purchase a memory upgrade. It can always be easily removed if it isn't to your liking. There is a software option for controlling the speed for games and such, and the driver only takes about 1.2k for the biggest version or you can run a slightly slower version that is only about .5k in size. I really suggest that you try it as it makes the palmtop much more usable. Of course other here can back up everything I have to say as I am quite biased of course. :-) Cheers, Mack mailto:mack@times2tech.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 03:28:16 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: What would you do if this happened to you?

Mack (and the List), Since I'm the (only?) one that bought the 1X speed 32M machine let me try to explain my logic (or lack of it). I use disposable Lithium batteries. While they are expensive, compared to recharables, I do like the l-o-n-g life and freedom from frequent chargings. Still, even a 10-20% reduction in life isn't desireable. ABSOLUTE compatibility with ANYTHING made for the 200LX. As well as the speed upgrade has been engineered it isn't perfect. (Very close but not perfect.) There are a number minor 'things' that exist such as the screen before the driver is loaded, some obscure hardware has had some problems, and programs might run differently (the classic example would be a game that used timing loops). You even need another driver to keep the alarm sounds from running fast. Anyone on this list for long has seen posts from people that have lost their drivers due to a crash or low batteries. While I have extra drivers for the (wonderful!) 32M disk I don't have as many. (1 for the disk and 1 to swap it with C:.) Even if I lost the drivers, the LX is still semi-usable with it's 2M disk as I keep a recent copy of the "_DAT" directory there; I would still have access to my appointments and phone book. I'm not the LX power user that some of you are. I don't run 123 or compilers or other such CPU hogs that really benefit from a faster CPU. I was very happy with my stock 4M unit. Using a 10M flash card I had managed to squeeze a lot of function in it including Software Carousel with 3 full sized sessions and WWW/LX. I usually had @1M of the 4M free so most email and news groups weren't much problem. Still only 1M free was a reoccuring problem especially when I started followiing rec.guns which has about 1k posts a week. I upgraded only for the disk space. Since I value simple function I tend to shy away from features I don't need as they add to the complexity. This is not meant to convince others not to get the 2X speed as it is a very nice enhancement; I'm only trying to show that there are some reasons why not getting it is valid. cheers...

Controlling the speed is an option -- you can slow it down if you like, just not via hardware. You owe it to yourself and your palmtop to at least try the double-speed upgrade when you get a backlight; the backlight control software is going to be built into the speed driver anyway, thus meaning you won't be sacrificing more of your limited palmtop memory. The speed upgrade is something I consider absolutely essential, even if all you do is PIM stuff. Even if you only use it for word processing, the speed upgrade is vital -- no, ESPECIALLY if you only use it for word processing, because with the speed upgrade you can actually type faster on the palmtop. My palmtop typing rate went from about 40wpm and "wait for the 200LX to catch up with me) to well over 70wpm. No matter what you do on the palmtop, the speed upgrade is an absolutely essential part of it, and once you've tried it for five minutes and seen how much faster you can type, how much faster the screen updates, how much faster things run in general... you'll realize how much more productive it makes you. There really is no reason NOT to get it, especially now that we'll soon have 1650mAh no-internal-drain batteries, not to mention the recently mentioned 2000 and 2200mAh batteries (which I have yet to find any information on. URL anybody?). And if you don't like it and find it cuts battery life too much, it's a very easy thing to set back to normal; you could do it yourself with minimal soldering experience by following the pictures on my Hardware Hacking site. Okay, I'll stop, but ... you have to try the speed upgrade at least. I'd venture to say that it's pretty much the speed upgrade that has kept the palmtop alive for so long. Memory is nice, but speed is critical. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:54:45 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Why 1X speed makes (some) sense.

Everything you do on the palmtop is faster including the screen updates, disk reads/writes, typing data in, etc. You don't need to be a power user to take extreme advantage or see the usefulness of the speed upgrade. I believe you have really cheated yourself in not trying it. Even software carousel will swap session much faster and make it more seamless as a multi-session palmtop.

Question: Some time ago, folks on the Omnibook list found HP tech/service manuals for the OB 600 and 800 in PDF format. Has anyone seen similar info for the Deskjet 340 and HP200LX? I'm thinking better search for such stuff before they disappear.

CPack shows 256 files. If you set a filter (F4) for filenames or extensions, I believe you get 256 files that meet the filter criteria. I have no such big directories myself, but just checked one of the net directories in the office with CPack. Got more than 256 *.gif files, but still 92 with another extension I set the filter to, even though I confirmed there were no 92 such within the first 256 listed with the *.* filter.

Same is true for the workstations in my employer's office, which is where I use CPack on the NT4 machines, as decribed in my messages in the thread 'My Transfile Win200 copies...'. I hope this will work for you as well. While the machines do not boot to DOS, NT can start a simulated DOS in its own window, and you can even set that apart with Ctrl-Esc, without closing, if you want to go back to NT software for a while. Have you tried? If you have installed CPack already WITH Laplink, it might be wise first to uninstall and remove that, and then install CPack as described.

But make backups first. Interesting. What brand are they? Flash cards, IIRC, cause a current-usage "spike" when first inserted, then settle down into a much lower usage current.

Do you need special drivers? I just purchased mine a week ago so I have not had much time to fiddle with it. However, I tried printing out of memo and it worked fine. It was my first try! but I'm used to doing in my HP6P. Worked just the same. Back in July, there was a thread on printing from WORD on the palmtop. I saved all these but have not had time to digest them. The problem seems to be to give the serial port a kick to activate it. Then printing should work. I could put all these threads together into one file if someone hasn't already done that.

There's also a check-box in Address Book for "send messages using plain text", or words to that effect, which overrides the auto-format of replies. There's also a choice on the "Format" menu of the message editor that lets you send in plain text, RTF, or HTML. This last *may not* be available if you use Word as your message editor. I use OE5 since it does more of what I want easier than Outlook 2000.

What do you think? Hal, As for myself, I hope I am set on LX's. My daily unit is one you upgraded to a 8 meg doublespeed, and also I have a untouched 4 meg, still with a HP extended warranty, that just sits as a backup, and I just bought a 2 meg unit that when you finally get the backlit project complete, I will send it in to have it backlit, and upgraded at the same time. I would be happy to send the $250 to hold a place for a backlit screen, if that would help offset the backlit project costs. The promise date is not critical, although I sure am getting anxious. :-) Best Regards, Robert Hocking In Sterling Heights, Michigan Email Address: hocking@flash.net ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 08:53:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Robert Hocking Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Robert Hocking Subject: Re: ReÝ2¨: How many new 200LX's should we buy for resale?

To me that would be like buying a car without air conditioning, just to save that few cents the air costs while driving. Also if you are using rechargables, and keep your LX plugged in at home while you sleep, and/or while you are at work (if you sit at a desk like me), then battery life is not even an issue.

My last three computer magazines still had the 340 for sale. Do you realize how long HP has been selling that same printer, without ever upgrading, or replacing it? I have had mine for about 4 years, and I really don't know how long they have been selling it, but when you figure out how many pages of regular paper that I can print to, on one battery, it is unbelievable. I have two batteries, so when I wish to be portable, it is a great solution, compared to what is currently out on the market, that uses regular paper. I haven't seen any evidence yet on the 340 disappearing from my mail order catalogs.

After purchasing my 340, I bought the IR adapter from HP, for the 340. I think I was able to print from my laptop, but once again I don't recall, it was a few years ago. When I bought my first LX, I remember downloading the IR driver from HP, but once again don't recall if I ever got my LX to print IR to my 340. Seems like I don't remember very well. :-( Luckily I have my LX to keep me organized, or I really be lost. :-) I will have to dig out that IR driver, and see if I can get my LX to communicate with my 340.

If a distributor or a corporate purchaser orders at least 100 pcs, the order will be served. Practically any 3rd party buyer is welcome, as long as the quantity is > 100pcs. Can anyone confirm / deny the above info? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 10:53:30 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Steve Novosad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Novosad Subject: Re: COM1 to COM2?

And Windows has gone to the hard wired paradigm. To swap the COM1 and COM2 ports, swap the memory contents at 40:0h and 40:2h. DOS commands like COPY will reflect the change, most others will not. You "could" use a binary file editor or DEBUG to patch the DOS program. Last year I sent a list member a program to swap the ports. (Unfortunately, didn't help him.) I'll look for the references and the like if you want. E-mail crashed on me over the weekend and I just caught up with the digests.

It might, and it might not. Most of them don't, but some newer Silicom cards reportedly work. Your best bet would be to get an Accton EN2216-1.

Actually, I did not get the ORIGINAL crystal so that option is not really available - or at least I don't think I did. hmmmmmm. I purchased a new unit with 32megs and speed upgrade.

While I don't generally use PE, I do use POST/lx (accis) and other HP200 programs on my win95 desktop. I cannot generally get them to OPEN initially in a window but can generally use Alt-Enter to toggle between full screen and a window. Sometimes the window needs to be resized. I also find that if my screen blanker kicks in, that any such programs implode down to the taskbar and need to be "restored" to foreground. It may be related to the screen resolution you run in. I know I have tweaked palrun (and cgagraph.com and cg.com) a few times using different parms but nothing seems to help. Maybe if I did not use a more super-vga resolution things would be different????? I also recall experimenting and finding that some parms would come up with the Windows' message "will not run in window - run full screen only" but I can multitask with the correct parms set. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 09:03:16 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: ReÝ2¨: How many new 200LX's should we buy for resale?

The speed upgrade is definitely the most important upgrade for me, and I didn't mean to imply that it sucks up battery power like no tomorrow. I personally haven't noticed very much drain, and in any case we'll soon have even higher-capacity batteries, it seems, so the effects will be even less noticeable. The speed upgrade is definitely worth it in terms of power trade-off; anybody who thinks differently IMHO hasn't tried the speed upgrade, because once you use it you really can't go back to 1x. Without the double-speed upgrade, many people who use the 200LX primarily as a PIM would probably me more inclined to switch to a PalmPilot or something along those lines, but a double-speed palmtop will easily outpace any other organizer I've used. Anyway, what I meant was that, even though the speed upgrade doesn't use very MUCH extra battery power, the backlight will use even less, if you don't turn it on; it's not an all-or-nothing proposition like the speed upgrade is, where you can't switch it back to 1x to conserve power. (Well, I guess you could switch it back to 1x if you tried my experiment of hooking up both the 1x and 2x crystals and toggling between them with a switch, but I'm pretty sure everybody has heard the story of how THAT experiment turned out. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 13:06:06 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: FLUFF:Cod Comments: To: BOCHE@DE.IBM.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > "Do you use the HP 200 LX as bait?"

Man, sounds like something is wrong with your cards or your palmtop. I never had a flash card capable of rebooting my machine except the 40MB Microtech triple-speed card, and then only because it took about 150ma while writing. Simple Tech and Sandisk cards have never been enough to reboot my machine even when my T2T NiMH batteries are almost empty. Even the EN2216-1 network card won't reboot it.

I need my 200LX daily for several tasks and expect I will for the next few years at least (seriously, I'm thinking 5-10 years; I even have some things for which I (infrequently) use a Portable Plus!). I therefore have two backup units, one a 200LX that I bought new and used for 1.5 years before buying a second new 200LX and sending it to Mack for double-speed plus 32MB RAM upgrade and one used 200LX recently bought through private sale. Sooner or later I'll get around to sending one or both in (likely to Thaddeus) for double-speed and probably at least 32MB upgrades, at which point they will go back on the shelf 'til I need them. Backlighting is not interesting to me. At least not at $250, maybe not at $100. Sorry Hal &c, but I would like you to know that the enthusiasm is not universal -- I just haven't felt that deprived by not having it. It's not clear to me whether buying a used 2MB 200LX then sending it in to Thaddeus for an upgrade is less expensive than buying a pre-upgraded used unit from Thaddeus. My guess is no unless you find a really good deal (going price for a 2MB 200LX w/other misc bits seems to be around $250 on ebay), but it also appears that Thaddeus often has a backlog of requests for used units. I guess it depends on how much of a hurry you're in and how prepared you want to be. My feeling is that if my 200LX broke I would just as soon be prepared and the best preparation is having a backup unit handy, needing only batteries, most-recent-backup, and a good recovery procedure to get me going.

Yes, but if space is all you need, and don't care about speed, you could get a flash card. Speed is the critical issue for being able to make use of any programs you have. Personally I consider them both essential and don't know how people can get by without all three: speed, lots of internal memory, and a huge flash card. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 21:51:25 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Geert van Wirdum Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Geert van Wirdum Subject: Re: HP Deskjet 340 Printer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I believe the DJ 340-IR will print fine from the LX; if special drivers are needed, these are the ones available since long on SUPER.

Oh, okay, I wrote all the descriptions and README and so on for all the people who already know LaTeX. If you don't know LaTeX, you probably don't understand what LXTeX is, since LXTeX is a modified LaTeX... ;-) > It seems like an editor that allows formatting. Is that correct? LaTeX and LXTeX are based on TeX which is a professional text formatting system. It's used by lots of scientists for writing books, reports, and so on (and also by non-scientists!;-) ). It is especially useful for scientists because of its ability to set mathematical formulas that look _extremly_ professional (better than every formula you can set with e.g. MS word) and its concept of structuring a document (especially useful for writing large documents like books). I use it now instead of all other word processing software I used before (Word, Starwriter, Word Perfect...). It has all possibilities you'll probably ever need to set a professional looking text. If you want to know, how a TeX-setted text looks like, there are two possibilities: (1) go to a local book store and look for a book about LaTeX. Either you'll find samples of TeX-setted text inside this book or, better, the whole book is written with LaTeX/TeX. I know that there are several books about LaTeX that are written with LaTeX. The best book I've ever read about LaTeX is written by Leslie Lamport and published by Addison Wesley. I have a German translation of the book, but I'm sure you'll find the English original! (2) Download the LXTeX package and do all configurations unless the printer configuration (the most difficult one), so you can use LXTeX for writing and previewing a sample. (But not for printing, first). There are several samples in the TEMPLATE directory. You write a source ASCII file SAMPLE.TEX with all formatting commands that LaTeX needs. Then you call LaTeX. This compiles your source file to a binary SAMPLE.DVI file that can be viewed or printed. This is the principle of LaTeX/LXTeX. > If so, how much formatting? Everything! More than with MS word is possible! What you cannot do with _LXTeX_ (but you can with LaTeX on an more powerful machine than the LX) is making Postscript files from your document and handle them with all the well-known PS-tools. But you can port the DVI-file that's made by LXTeX onto another machine and donvert it do PS there. > I hope that I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

I decided to seek the experts. Can anyone point me to a good online ref for this? Or perhaps include a chunk of example code? Any pointers help are appreciated. Thanks! P.S.

From the Poqet Web site: "The Poqet PC Plus is the latest Poqet PC. It differs significantly from its predecessors, both in appearance and functionality. The Poqet PC Plus is larger and heavier than the other Poqet PC's, and uses a proprietary Nickel-Cadmium battery pack instead of standard AA alkaline batteries. The Poqet PC Plus has a "transflective" display, which comes with a backlight. The PC Plus also uses Release 2.0, Type II PCMCIA slots, 2 MB of memory (640 KB conventional + 768 extended/RAM disk), and a flash-programmable disk drive. " It comes with Dos 5. All of this means that you can take your flash card from the HP200LX to the A drive of the Poqet Plus (it has two pcmcia drives), and your programs, data and batch files will not know the difference. With the larger keyboard and screen, it seems very desirable as a companion to my hplx (at the right price that is).

This free program runs circles around the Microsoft product, with better features for general usage and programming alike. Both columns and lines can be marked for alterations and/or deletions. Indentation of source files can be changed with no fuss. You can insert/append another file into the current file and easily access an ASCII chart and tables for line-drawing and foreign characters. Other features include mouse support, position marking and jumping, word wrap of marked blocks (so text documents and email can be modified and easily made readable again), an integrated spelling checker and thesaurus, the ability to copy and paste to Windows applications, macros, and long-filename support.

I turn off my LX by pressing the "on" button, then remove my flash card or modem, then replace the card with either another flash card or modem, and then turn my LX back on with the "on" button. I have no idea what you meant by disabling the screen, unless that is a function of the killmsg program that Mack wrote, that I only use to almost stop the annoying "battery charging started/stopped" message, that without the killmsg program takes a few seconds to wait for. > I've never had changing cards initiate an involuntary reboot, and I have > several cards of different manufacture and design.

The above is a Solver formula. You have to enter it into Solver (HPCalc key, Ctrl-S), and then it allows you to enter each of the variables to find the BMI. The formula is retained in the Solver list, so you can always revisit the formula to enter new numbers. Kind of like a spreadsheet, but more specialized. You can connect Solver to 123, but I don't think that was the intent here. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 16:56:41 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Geert van Wirdum Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Geert van Wirdum Subject: Re: CPack Question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable When I am in the office tomorrow, I will check my configuration under NT.

Cannot mount A: drive. 2.Are there the special device driver for your large size Sandisk ATA card to fix this trouble? ACECARD3.COM?

AFAIK it receives the signals of the sattelites, calculates the position and writes the coordinates to the serial RS232 port as numerical values. Is this correct?> I'll be glad to answer this portion. The GPS antenna receives signals from the satellites and passes the data to the serial port. There needs to be a program running on the system to capture the serial data and process it. This is a nearly continuous stream of data consisting of the satellites position, not yours. The satellite data is interpreted by the program to create your position. It takes a minimum of three sets of data to get a coordinated position. The process is similar to radio direction finding. You need the capability in the program to "triangulate" to get your own position. As you move, the satellites that you can receive data from may change, but as long as there are at least three sets of data the program should be able to calculate your position. The placement on a map is just overlaying the position , in latitude and longitude, on the map.

I decided to seek the experts. The Modem Control Register is at the UART base I/O (not memory) address (0x3f8 I think) plus 4 (so 0x3fa), and DTR is the least significant bit. So output 1 to 0x3fa, that should cause the 200LX to assert DTR, which is an output on its serial port. But what good will that do you? You only have a three-wire modem cable! If your DOS program is running on the 200LX, it's probably looking at the modem status register (base address plus 6) for something (hard to tell from what you wrote, but I'd guess one or more of CTS, DCD, or DSR that it expects to be driven by the remote end's DTR output), and you'll probably need to assert the corresponding input signal(s) by finding some output signal that's being asserted by the 200LX and looping it back to the input(s). > P.S. Anyone know if the the 100LX has the 8250 UART or a 16440? I can't > find it documented anywhere, even where I work. I believe it behaves as an 8250 (i.e. no FIFO). 16450s and 16550s behave like 8250s (at least they're supposed to, so long as you don't turn the 16550's FIFOs on). -Frank McConnell ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 09:17:52 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Geert van Wirdum Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Geert van Wirdum Subject: Re: CPack Question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thanks all for the feed back!

I have a Garmin GPS12 working with my LX and LXGPS found on the SUPER site. Have tried it, but don't use it reguarly. I did find out though that the LX lay nicely in front of the dashboard on top of the driving wheel shroud (what's it called?). This covered the speedometer, but the LX display shows speed! :-) I was very impressed then. I did try and sync the LX clock once, but that didn't work properly and haywire followed. Thought about getting some velcro to prevent the LX and GPS12 from sliding around, but I have now bought a new car now and have other priorities... The GPS12 plug is not usual, but there is a shareware hardware plug available, Purple something-or-other. Do a search for Purple +GPS12. Ordered two plugs and after a bit of soldering; Voila! One for my LX and one for my Libretto. The LX plug I took from an old cable header from a hard disk (from motors to print), the raster was 2 mm, usual is 2,54 mm and won't fit. Very satisfied with the GPS12 I bought at least.

The DNS server will depend on where you access Compuserve from. For the UK I am using 195.232.1.6 and 195.232.1.7, I suspect you get different for different places. To find which to use you should use whatever you normally access Compuserve with (e.g. Win 95?). Connect to it just as usual, but once connected use the Start/Run command line for Win95, and enter WINIPCFG. It will pop up to show all you need to know. The DNS entry has a little button with ... in it. Every time you press it it cycles to the next DNS server, that way you can find out the secondary DNS server. I use the CSERVE.SCR that ships with GP. The SMTP server is smtp.compuserve.com, and the POP server is pop.compuserve.com You must set a POP mail password, which you can only do via their web pages. So again, you need to use your Win95 system or whatever to go there. I can't remember where you GO, but it is not hard to find. There are some FAQs on how to set it all up in general for POP access. It works very well. Make sure you have the current GP, as the Compuserve stuff did not work for early versions, as the login uses 7-bit + parity. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 14:11:33 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Franklin Eekhout Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Franklin Eekhout Subject: Re: GPS informations wanted, please! > Or We'll design a device for wireless transmission of the position of > the GPS receiver, so that we know everytime, where it is.

First, you are finding two people in that group of 20, so I would guess that should be restated as 1 in 19, for any given random birthdate. *But*, I don't see how this can be right - I have 365 (or 366) possible birthdays for any one person (obvious).

I can not believe that if I even got on a jumbo jet with several hundred people on board that anyone would have my birthday, though it is just as likely (one out of 365 or 366 possible birthdays). I would even take it a step further and say that I could probably get on a cruise ship and not have there be anyone with my birthday (several thousand on most ships). All bets are off if it is a cruise over New Years Eve, as it would be likely that someone else was celebrating their birthday.

The time you enter something is maybe 1 minute vs. a calculation time of 10 minutes. (with double speed abt. 5 minutes) (of course the real ratio between entering time and calculation time depends on what program you use - if you calculate a complex math formula, it may be true, but with LXTeX for example, the ratio is very different, of course!).

I'm dividing it into two parts. part 1 Hi David, > I am using a 3-wire modem cable (so there is not DTR signal), and I have ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. But, in the 3-wire case, it is sometimes necessary to LOOP BACK the output signal DTR (Data Terminal Ready) to the input signal DSR (Data Set Ready) because the application program may be expecting a positive voltage on the DSR-line voltage before it is convinced to take the next step. The DTR-line is nomally used by our application program to tell the MODEM (or a program on the other side of a null-modem-connection) that this computer is turned on and is ready (thus "Terminal Ready"). While the DSR-line is usually used by the MODEM (or a program on the other side of a null-modem-cable) to tell us that the MODEM (or ...) is ready (thus "Data Set Ready"). So, we do not READ DTR-line, we SET the status of the DTR .... Sometime you even have to loop back the RTS (Request To Send) to RTS (Ready To Send). And this is part of what a NULL-MODEM is doing. And, yes! I had such a headache too long time ago with all those DTE, DCE, 2-3; 5-6 (?); 15- ... wiring. :) :) A good book (I don't know it myself) was recommended by R. Christopher Lott and many other in another thread with the subject "Need a C serial library for 100LX use". > just found out that the only way to do this with my DOS program, is to > set MCR (Modem Control Register) on the UART to '1'. Now, I found out > what I need to do, but can't find any documentation on how to address > this register. I tried a couple of memory pokes, but after crashing the > system a few times.. I decided to seek the experts. Here are some ways to control the DTR-line. (I need to set DTR high myself quite often too.) Solution 1. Try the program LXSTAT. It has powerful control over the serial lines. It displays the status of output lines, DTR, RTS, TXD and input lines DSR, RTS, RXD. It has full control over DTR, RTS and TXD individually. Besides, it helps me to set all those weird speeds. For example, "2,N,8,1" (2 bps, no parity, 8 databit, 1 stopbit), "50000,S,9,2" (57600 bps, space parity, 9 databit, 1 stopbit). You don't have to remember those discrete values, but it will be auomatically rounded to allow values.) Oh, yes, and I use it too on laptop or desktops to examine and control serial lines. Becausse of the bad documentation of it I'm listing some more examples (all case-insensitive): dos> lxstat serial lines (print status of serial lines) dos> lxstat serial DTR 1 (raise the DTR voltage) dos> lxstat serial DTR 0 (lower the DTR voltage) dos> lxstat s RTS + (raise Request To Send) dos> lxstat s RTS - (raise Request To Send) dos> lxstat ser TXD on (rasie the TXD line) dos> lxstat ser TXD off (lower the TXD line) dos> lxstat serial txd toggle (toggle TXD status) dos> lxstat s d t (toggle DTR status) dos> lxstat s d / (toggle DTR status) dos> lxstat serial dtr high (raise DTR) ....

The trick is to find out the odds that there are *not* two people in the room with the same birthday (Assume a 365-day year) When there's two people in the room, there are 364 birthdays the second person can have so as not to share with the first. Thus, the chances of two people *not* having the same birthday are 364/365 When there are three people in the room, the chances are 364/365 * 363/365 With four people: 364/365 * 363/365 * 362/365 With n people: 365*364*363*...(365-n) ---------------------- 365¬n Also written as P(365,n) -------- 365¬n In the solver, it looks like P = PERM(365,N)/(365¬N) I don't know how to solve for the n such that P(365,N)/365¬n =~ .5, but a simple binary search shows that the break-even point is reached when n=23 Leap-years make it more complicated; I'll bet that's where the n=24 figure came from. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 11:28:06 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Falk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Falk Subject: Re: GPS informations wanted, please! > The url for the purple garmin connector is: > http://www.pfranc.com/ I ordered a couple from this guy a couple years ago.

If you put >twenty people in a room two of them will have the same birth day >excluding year. Now can we get back to talking about 200LX's. ;¬) Maybe it's time to use the Calculator in your 200LX... :) The 80-20% rule works fine for me- but you have to apply it correctly. For example: How many individuals on this list has a good knowledge in Assembler programming? (I have no idea!!!) So: - Assumption- you subscribe to this list so you are interested in solutions for 95/100/200LX, and some of you are to a certain degree interested in programming. Let's say that we are 700 subscribers on this list- 80% has no/little = idea about programming (no offense)- 20% has. So 140 subscribers know "what's going on". How many of these 140 people can actually write a useful program in any programming language? Right- 20%, which is 28 subscribers of this HPLX list. Of this 28 subscribers, 20%- which means that only 6 individuals on this list can easily write an Assembler program (if we are now 700 subscribers...)! Another example: How many of us have a Win CE palmtop at home (of let's say 700 subscribers)? Assumption: This list is a HP DOS Palmtop list, but some of you got hold on a Win CE palmtop- specially in the beginning of Win CE. So if we are 700 people here, 80% was very interested the first time you heard about a new HP Palmtop- 560 people. However, 80% of these people lost interest when they realized that Microsoft was involved- so now we have 112 interested people left. Of these 112 people, 20% actually bought a HP Win CE palmtop. Which means that we today have about 22 subscribers on this list which has a HP Windows CE palmtop at home- shame on you!!! :) Sorry, I couldn't help it- I just felt for some Fluff! But I wouldn't be surprised if my numbers- that we on this list have 6 good Assembler programmers and 22 people with a HP Win CE palmtop at home... Can be difficult to confirm, since deffinately more than 6 will willingly inform us all that they are very good in Assembler programming, and not many want to admit that they have a Win CE palmtop at home. :) Eeeh, now I must give both you and myself a break- CYA!

This is not correct. It is too simple a solution to say people only want a 1X unit because they haven't experienced 2X speed. Some people seem to think a faster LX is automatically the best without considering any features other than speed. I got 2 chances to see and try 2X speed. The first was Bill Childers demoing his 2X to me; I was impressed with how fast Software Carousel swapped. The 2nd time was when I ordered my 1X. Thadeus accidently sent a 2X (I guess they didn't think anyone would want anything else). I noticed the speed difference right away. It was nice BUT NOT nice enough to override my wanting a 1X unit. I sent it back and they removed the 2X crystal. The extra speed IS nice but for me it is not that important for the way _I_ use my LX. I'm not trying to convince others that 1X is better but it would be nice if you didn't think I was too crazy for wanting the 1X crystal. cheers...

How about a cable? I think at present, I would talk to Roger Law, who did present his know how at the hp handheld meeting at Munich, to make cables fitting direct into the serial port of the hp200lx. This will avoid heavy and unwieldy adapters. To me the cable solution looks much closer as an provisional solution than a redesign of the hp200lx to get rid the radio frequency noise. Or buy a Nokia 8810 if you need it now. On the other hand I hope, somebody will take the challenge to fix that problem, the IrDA interface looks very attractive. It may take some time, but I believe it will be solved. I will cross my fingers! Good luck my friend.

I've located some environment utilities to try out, tho I'd rather see if there's a way to use native NT commands to determine the current DOS environment pool size and the amount of bytes remaining. One simple way to determine current usage size is: set > set.txt and see how many bytes (using dir) is set.txt. This is a rough indicator, since the file contains added carriage-return line-feeds. The trick now is how to determine the bytes remaining? - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 12:20:16 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: FLUFF: Numbers Comments: cc: david@HPLX.NET >You mean there's gambling at the casinos?

To recap the earlier discussion, an important issue with running cpack under NT is the use of environment resource, which is devoted to maintaining variables accessed by other apps. These variables and their values can be displayed using the DOS SET command, or by using ControlPanel/System/Environment. If you're having trouble with functions in cpack (Filer wouldn't work for me), try using ControlPanel/System/Environment to remove extraneous variables and/or values to gain back environment space, which cpack appears to need. Geert's suggestion of the SHELL= command and setting the environment size using /e:xxxx is a possible circumvention that may simply allow us to reserve a larger environment, but I haven't been able to make it work under NT (yet). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 10:29:13 PDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Alberto Wong Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alberto Wong Subject: How to download Word 5.5?

I usually use Capsys, but this is a system manager program, and (I think) only works with the 640x200 graphic-mode screen. Your best bet is probably GRABBER. IIRC it will capture either graphic or text-mode screens. It creates a .exe file that displays the image, and comes with utilities to convert the .exe to either .pcx or .gif GRABBER is installed as a TSR and activated with a hotkey. The procedure is covered in a 90+K doc file. If you don't want it using up memory when you don't need it, you can either start a maxdos session, start grabber from the command line, fire up the prog you want screen captures from - do the grabbing - close the program - and remove grabber; or set up a batch file to do it. I think the captured images will have black & white reversed. If that doesn't matter, just use the utility that comes with grabber to convert to .gif Otherwise you can fix that by: 1 Use the included utility to make a .pcx file 2 Use LXPIC to view it as a negative image and save (F4) 3 Use PICEM (I think also on SUPER) to convert to .gif HTH Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 15:34:45 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John J Vanderstel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John J Vanderstel Subject: Re: Speed Upgrade >The extra speed IS nice but for me it is not that important for the way >_I_ use my LX. > >I'm not trying to convince others that 1X is better but it would be >nice if you didn't think I was too crazy for wanting the 1X crystal.

His kind of spirit is what actually bonds us all in this great group. :-) We all have great pride in being minimalists... in how a "mere" HPLX DOS palmtop can still provide all of the processing power we need... even in today's world! I believe that spirit just runs a little bit deeper in Russel, that's all. :-) His view is that if a bare 1X HPLX can still completely fulfill his own processing needs, then doubling it's speed and losing any battery life, whatsoever, would actually reduce it's value to him, since it would also reduce his bragging rights! ;-) You've got my utmost respect, Russel! :-) Cheers!

No, it's for a month/day combination. You might be misunderstanding the question. It's not asking how many people need to be in a room for it to be likely that any of them share YOUR birthday (that would be 250 or so), but how many people need to be in a room so that it's likely that ANY TWO OF THEM share a birthday. The odds someone sharing your birthday is 1/365, but there are many combinations of pairs of people. For 23 people, there are 253 ways to pair them up, so the probability that no pairs will share a birthday is (364/365) ¬ 253. This comes out to 49.95%, so the odds are 50-50 that with 23 people in a room, two of them will share a birthday. Actually, this is approximate, but it's close enough. >As a reference point, my birthday is Jan. 1st, and in my *life* I have >only met a handfull of folks with my birthday (Jan. 1st, 19XX).

With 250 people, there's a 50-50 chance that someone else will have your birthday. How many are on a cruise ship? With 2000 people, the probability is 99.6%. This is found with our friend, the binomial distribution. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 18:54:24 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , S_Carder@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Carder Subject: Re: DS 32mb 200LX and JAM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Does anyone have JAM working with a DS 32meg upgraded 200LX?

I have to open worldtime. I did not remember everything either. Some check and trial leads me to believe: 'Automatic' for World Time means: according to a preset scheme. If daylight saving time for your local city has changed since you last opened WT, WT asks you whether you want it to change the system time accordingly. The LX itself is unaware of time zones and daylight saving time, just WT knows about this and must be called to change the clock. With '*' you can cycle between Manual, Automatic, and None for daylight saving time handling for any highlighted city. The preset scheme is in D:\sys\timezone.dat. If you wish to use a different scheme, as applicable at present for Europe, you must copy timezone.dat to C\_dat, and edit your changes.

The flash card has a JAM partition on it. My idea was to mount the JAM drive, and then copy the files out of it onto the c: drive, thereby getting rid of the JAM drive. Further experimentation has shown that I _can_ mount the JAM drive as long as it is on the flash card (a:). So, I guess that it's not a problem with incompatible drivers (DS 32 meg vs JAM), but rather that the JAM drive itself cannot exist on the 32 meg drive. Anyway, I'm now copying the files out of the JAM drive onto c:. The reason for my original question was more curiousity than anything...I could have mounted the JAM drive on the "old" 200LX and then transferred the files to the "new" 200LX.

No it can not replace your LX.. Check the specs at www.nokia.com. The 7110 is not a organizer or a computer. It is a mobil phone the size of the 6110. It has a extended memory and a wapbrowser.

If you assume there are only 365 days in a year, then with 183 people there is only a 39.5% chance that one of them will share your birthday (surprising, no?). Leap years complicate the question (is your birthday on Feb 29?), so I'd prefer to stick to a straightforward 365-day year for this question. Anyway, the reason that it's not 50% with 183 people is the old difference of sampling-with-replacement vs. sampling-without-replacement. Since some of those 183 people will share birthdays with each other, they're covering fewer than 183 of the 365 possible days (probably only about 144 different days), so the chance that one of those is your birthday is not 50%. With 365 other people, you only have a 63.3% chance of sharing a birthday, not 100%. 365 random people would have around 230 different birthdays. -Curtis I'm random, are you? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Oct 1999 02:17:11 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , bravhart mail Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: bravhart mail Subject: Re: Diabetes tracking software Comments: To: Daniel Hertrich MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Daniel; I have a Bayer Glucometer DEX and would appreciate being able to download tests ( up to 100 of them) into your software via the LX's serial port. Also, here in Canada as well as many other places, we use mmol/ml as our glucose units. Perhaps you can make it a selectable option. The conversion is simply 18mmol/ml = 1mg/dl. In addition to carbohydrates, a place to identify pre or post meal tests, and a place for events such as exercise, illness, etc. to be recorded along with a "comments" area. It would be very useful to be able to edit the entries and/or flag them as "bad" tests, "calibrations", and such. The Glucometer DEX allows these to be flagged as such internally, but, I don't know what coding they use to do this. Bayer may be willing to make these details available to you as a software developer wishing to include their meters in your program. Lastly, can I suggest that one be able to set ranges in your program for graphing and statistics? This would allow each user to select a "normal" reading range along with "low, very low, high and very high" readings.

All of you who want to use such a program, please tell me what you expect from such a program. Basical blood sugar tracking issues I will include, of course: (1) entering of blood sugar value, maybe automatic storage of time and date that belongs to the blood sugar; (2) graphical plot of blood sugar values, (3) printing of a list of all blood sugar values with time and date for the doctor, (4) statistics (how much values more than 160mg/dl (are these also the units you use for metering blood sugar? VERY IMPORTANT!), how much values of blood sugar are below 50mg/dl, what's the everage value...) and additionally I will add the following: (4) entering the amount of insulin for each meal (if you use insulin) (5) entering of amount of eaten carbohydrates (6) maybe saving the program of your insulin pump (if someone has one) (7) ....... your ideas please!

It is through my eyes and from my point of view. Add and correct if you like! First: TF is an OEM product, offered as freeware on the web, through HP (ref: palmtop.net). My impression is that HP's offering is based on the common view that CP is of limited value with Win 95 and Win 98, and should even not be installed on NT workstations not booting to plain DOS. After all, however, most contributers to our discussions have succeeded to install CP on W95, W98 and NT platforms, and have got full functionality. So far, CP is commercial software sold via HP dealers (used: Thaddeus, Rundel, ..). QUESTION: Who is in the position to ask HP to donate CP to the public domain now? 2) Common to TF and CP: Either LX serial cable or IR interface on PC needed for communication. Serial-IR adapters probably work (Aegis-IRHP5 OK, did your adapter work, Longden?). Some laptop FIR-port questions not (yet) solved. In case of problems, choose slow transfer rates, reduce multitasking on PC, use external power supply to palmtop, and IR rather than cable from palmtop. These conditions seem to be more critical to TF than to CP. 3) Special to TF: Nice user interface, just a filer, PC is client. Makes time and date of copied files current. Little backup flexibility, backup is one single archive file. Transfer upto 19200 or 57600 baud depending on PC UART. Transfer errors common with big files. 4) Special to CP: 'As LX' user interface, full PIM functionality, both platforms can be client. File attributes remain intact at transfer. Normal backup flexibility, free access to backup files. Transfer speed upto 115200 baud. Successfully copied 19.7 Mb file from A drive (flash) at first trial. Installation on W95, W98 and NT platforms: if no just-DOS environment is available, installation in a (simulated) DOS window is OK (contrary to screen warning), but do not install Laplink and Win setup. Shortcuts can be installed from the Win or NT interface (one user had a problem here?). Under NT, and especially on networked platforms, some tricks may or may not be needed, and this may even change due to network changes out of your control. After all, we had CP working under different file systems, including NTFS. See Longden's summary below! To recap the earlier discussion, an important issue with running cpack under NT is the use of environment resource, which is devoted to maintaining variables accessed by other apps. These variables and their values can be displayed using the DOS SET command, or by using ControlPanel/System/Environment. If you're having trouble with functions in cpack (Filer wouldn't work for me), try using ControlPanel/System/Environment to remove extraneous variables and/or values to gain back environment space, which cpack appears to need. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Oct 1999 06:36:52 -0600 Reply-To: Maynard Riley Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Maynard Riley Subject: Re: CPack vs Transfile (was: CPack Question and others) Comments: To: Geert van Wirdum In-Reply-To: <199910311046.LAA22697@smtp.hccnet.nl> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I didn't see this important feature mentioned, but Cpack does a decent job of translating database files into delimited files importable by other database software.

I have 2 printer/IR adapters that look the same as the file transfer IR and still have to look around. I've just been using the serial cable in the meantime. The increased speed and functionality alone is reason to use CP over TF. I may have chucked the FIR because I kept having to switch connection settings between IR/serial when I went from work to home, since I had only 1 FIR-port. >If you're having trouble with functions in cpack (Filer >wouldn't work for me), try using >ControlPanel/System/Environment to remove extraneous >variables and/or values to gain back environment space, which >cpack appears to need.

Several DOS utilities I've downloaded work fine on my Win95 machine, but fail on NT (I tried programs CHGENV and WHATS, from Simtel).

Another non-intuitive statistical odity trick that won a lot of small bets for me when I was young (I read this in the same book) is to bet someone that if you choose 5 letters at random and they choose 5 letters at random, you'll each have 2 letters in common. That's true about 3/4 of the time. It's been many years since I've done this and it might have been 7 letters that each person chooses but I think 5 is right. You mathemeticians can figure that out. By the way, it's a safe bet that you'll have 3 letters in common, although you don't win much with 3. I think, from observing this discussion, that it's a fairly safe bet that 2 mathmeticians will get different results with the same statistical problem.

Hi Lars - The problem is that Memo only does word-wrap in its own screen. The files it creates only have line breaks if you hit ÝEnter¨.

Possibly... You say "LX users excluded". My guess is that most folks are using Windoze, and their mail software reformats the messages to fit the screen. Post/LX can also be set up to do it.

Jorgen Walgreen once posted his objections to the DS upgrade (something like 2 years ago). I wonder if he was convinced otherwise since then. Now for one more confession: I am not sold on the memory upgrade either, because of the price (I just purchased a 96 meg flash card for a very reasonable price, so for me it negates the expense of the mem upgrade, except for the EMS issue. Yes I know about the further speed). This makes one more driver objectionable, specially if I can live without it. I just want the backlight.

I'm only guessing here, but when you make a call, the phone is obviously transmitting RF signals.

The biggest problem seems to come from drives larger than 2.1GB. This can cause problems with programs that make DOS calls to the system for drive information. The system may give data back in a format that has a larger number that the old program can interpret and the result is unacceptable data and the program may think that there is no space available on the drive. The break down of the 2.1GB limit is 65,520 (max # of clusters) X 64 (max sectors per cluster) X 512 (size of largest HD partition in bytes) = 2,146,959,360 bytes.

Before he ordered, he couldn't help but notice a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him, and it wasn't until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about. The man brushed off the reaction as ignorance, but the smirks began to get to him. He looked one of the rude men square in the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, quizzically, "This?". With that the men all began to laugh out loud. The man he addressed said, as he fought back laughter, "Hey, sorry man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little ribbon looks against your blue jacket!" The middle aged man calmly motioned for the joker to come over to his table, and invited him to sit down. As uncomfortable as he was, the guy obliged, not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle aged man said, "I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother's honor." "Oh, sorry dude. She died of breast cancer?" "No, she didn't. She's alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as an infant, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her health." "Umm," the stranger replied, "yeah." "And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife," the middle aged man went on. "And she's okay, too?", the other guy asked. "Oh, yes. She's fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our beautiful daughter 23 years ago. I am grateful for my wife's breasts, and for her health." "Uh huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?" "No. It's too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now. My daughter died of breast cancer one month ago. She thought she was too young to have breast cancer, so when she accidentally noticed a small lump, she ignored it. She thought that since it wasn't painful, it must not be anything to worry about." Shaken and ashamed, the now sober stranger said, "Oh, man, I'm so sorry mister". "So, in my daughter's memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. Now, go home and talk to your wife and your daughters, your mother and your friends. And here . . ." The middle-aged man reached in his pocket and handed the other man a little pink ribbon. The guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, "Can ya help me put it on?" This is breast cancer awareness month. Do regular breast self-exams and have annual mammograms if you are a woman over the age of 40. And encourage those women you love to do the same. Please send this on to anyone you would like to remind of the importance of breast cancer awareness.

The extra speed, the free PCMCIA slot, the ability to have lots of EMS, and the lower power usage are all reasons to consider the internal memory upgrade over a flash card, but it comes at a price. > This makes one more driver objectionable, specially if I can > live without it. I just want the backlight. The backlight, being software-controlled, does, in fact, also require a driver. It's small, but it is required (unless you want the backlight on all the time). Here's a bit of news ... the latest version of the double-speed driver includes many new functions, including a backlight control driver and a keyboard buffer expander. It may actually save people memory, if they were going to use a backlight and keyboard buffer expander, or one of the other programs that the speed driver incorporates the functions of. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1999 02:25:01 -1000 Reply-To: Norbert_Giese@T-Online.de Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Norbert Giese Subject: Test - Please ignore Let's see.
