I don't think the palmtop is vulnerable to either x-ray data loss or magnetic data loss, since it doesn't use magnetic media. I guess a really powerful moving magnetic field might conceivably induce current and be harmful, and on that theory I won't bring my palmtop when I go in for my head MRI next week, as the MRI uses a powerful magnet. But it was in the same room as the machine at my last MRI, and no damage done.

Since you could download e-mail a lot faster, load the program faster, read in the message file quicker, do searches and sorts faster, and type replies faster, and not have much reduced battery usage anyway, I'd say the single speed makes little sense for e-mail. Especially since reduced online time means lower battery usage anyway... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1999 10:37:33 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: Memo - long lines (Was Re: FLUFF:Cod+Hitler) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On 31 Oct 1999 08:35:52 -0800, Lars =?iso-8859-1?q?Hedstr=94m?= wrote: > Return-Path: > > Thanks Peniel for helping us,you wrote: > > "The problem is that Memo only does word-wrap in its own screen.

Well I do not know how other emailprograms work. I can only comment on what I see. I tried to use Memo but went back to PE because of the line length problem. The line(s) above was on one line (looonnng) Other mailprograms may correct this when you read/reply to messages. Why don't you use PE for writing and replying? The only other solution is that you hit ÝEnter¨ when you come to the end of the screen in Memo.. But if its only me that has problems with your messages don't bother :-)) . But it takes some time to make your message readable to me in Pe before I can reply. I have to Use Format_Paragraph on every long line.. If you want help to set up Pe I am sure the list helps.

Microsoft is also giving away Masm 6.14, the 32 bit only version. It's included with their freely downloadable DDK and a couple of other packages. There's a free package for 32 bit windows asm development that includes this as well as a number of libraries and windows.h called Masm32. I'm assuming that Microsoft has allowed this to be offered free on the web since there are links to it on a number of reputable sites. The url is http://www.pbq.com.au/home/hutch/masm.htm There are a couple of other free windows programming packages that include Masm 6.14. I've seen them on the web but I don't have the urls handy. I think there are links to them in the asm faq. I don't think any of us doubt that Microsoft is concerned with making money, but maybe they're not as evil as people like to think. Even if this is just done for pr, it's being done. Actually, now that I think of it, when have they ever charged for DirectX? It and the SDK have always been free. They could have sold it easily. I'm sure there are other examples.

In the meantime, Andreas had the brilliant idea, to use this palmtop behavior for something useful like a ring indicator. He immediately came up with a prototype and I took the challenge and rewrote his program in assembler. Here it is: http://peichl.hplx.net/ring.zip You can have *A LOT* of fun with this programm, but you may also come into serious trouble, if you exaggerate. Test the technical knowledge of your friends. I have to admit, that one week ago, I would not have passed this test. I already had the chance, to test some 'victims'. All I can say is: After the demonstration of the program you can tell them everything, they believe it if you are a good actor. I for one told somebody, that I recorded all relevant data of his mobile phone and am now able to make calls on his account ;-) After he was shocked, I told the truth: That I'm only able to record his calls, if his mobile is close to my palmtop. He was relieved, but after I told the whole truth (that the palmtop just rings), I was close to be beaten up. So please be careful! Did you hear, David Sargeant?

Well, you write an application to save the inducted data to a buffer, where it can be decoded and played back through the palmtop's speaker. Then tell the FBI, CIA and NSA that you figured out how to turn a 200LX into a Tempest-style snooping device. Then the spooks will order thousands of 200LXs from HP, convincing them to put the palmtop back into production! Well, if this were a movie, it would work.

I've just downloaded Word from the Microsoft website onto the flash card in my LX. Or rather, I just got it to work, finally-- I have a Sparcom Drive100 (external 3.5" floppy drive made for the LX) that doesn't like to transfer large files, so I had a heck of a time getting one of the Word files (~330k) onto the LX. I finally resorted to Transfile, which took damn near forever-- though it's free, so I can't complain. Anyway, I read in the archives that Word won't recognize the Newton keyboard driver right out of the box. However, I never saw a solution to this problem in the archives. I'm hoping that someone out there knows which file needs to be changed or which switch needs to be toggled. By the way, the Newton keyboard is great. It has worked faultlessly for me so far, and it has an excellent "feel". Highly recommended if you do a lot of typing on your LX.

That's a completely different problem.How many of those other 365 (or 366) people would have the same birthday as YOU? There are over five billion people on the planet who don't have the same birthday as you. Get them all on the list, and you have less than 100% chance of having somebody with your birthday. However, if there are 24 people on this list, the odds are better than 50-50 that two of them have the same birthday.Whether you are one of them is a different matter. There would need to be about 250 people on the list for you to have a 50-50 chance that one of the others will have your birthday. And as mentioned above, there could be five billion people on the list without anybody else sharing your birthday.

I hope that you guys can find a solution to this problem. As you know I have ordered the new Nokia 7110. It does not have a metal casing so it "should" produce the same problems as the S25. :-((( Hans Staber mailed me and asked me on advice on what mobilephone he should get. Andreas uses a 8810 which works. Tomas Moberg used a Sh888 and it worked (it got a metalcase Tomas?) The S25 has problems. I guess the T28 and all other Ericssons which needs a external irdongle will also have problems. The 7110 will also have problems. The only phones left are the new Nokia 8850 which should be even "better" then the 8810 because of its "real" alu casing. I do not know if the new Ericsson R320 has a metal case. But neither the R320 or the 8850/7110 are released yet.. Nokia has stopped the productions on the Nokia 8810. So Hans I would recommend that you wait to Q1 2000 to choose a phone.. I wrote you a mail also.. ÝHplx¨ If I open the hplx and insulate the inside with plasticoated alufoil. Would this be a good idea? What components needs to be shielded inside the hplx? If I do this is it enough to prevent noise? I guess I could just get a psion or something else. I could also get another phone, but I want to stay with the hplx and the Nokia 7110..

I have been only lithiums since they first came on the market. =Bob= ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 Nov 1999 07:23:06 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Speed upgrade Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I think Mack or Hal (or someone else) has mentioned before that minor production differences between LX units may account for why some people get blurred screens and others do not.

Well, yes and no. I *do* have an extra {Enter} as the 3rd from last command. I think when I recorded the macro I got a "file not found" error message, hit Enter to clear the message, and never cleaned it out. It isn't fatal, as it simply adds a CR at the end of the note, but it's certainly less inelegant out. I end the macro with {Tab} rather than {F10} because I want an opportunity to adjust the appointment time before closing it. Thanks for the review, Rachmat!

Loading the drivers from the flashcard is a good "failsafe" solution. Everyone who wants to upgrade to 2x should 1) copy the correct drivers from the C drive (or floppy) to the flash card(s) they want to boot from, and 2) modify their config.sys on their boot-up flashcards to load the correct driver from the card. This is mentioned in the SPD31.DOC file that came with my upgrade. And when new drivers become available, they have to remember to upgrade all versions (internal drive and flashcards). I think it takes a minimum amount of "under the hood" talent to get this working, but sometimes it doesn't become apparent why you need to do this until you get bitten. For instance, I initially modified my flashcard boot to load the drivers from the internal drive (I mean, why use two copies, right?.... plus it's faster loading from internal drive vs flashcard). As Jeff Johns might say, "I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier", but this slip almost made for a major disaster when the C drive went south one day. An example of trying to be too clever for my own good. Too, remember that this requires more work on the part of users with blurred screens than those without. The latter group have a failsafe in always being able to see their screens regardless of what happens, whereas the rest of us have to be sure our safety devices are in place. - Longden Mack Baggette on 11/02/99 07:58:39 AM Please respond to Mack Baggette To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: ReÝ2¨: Speed upgrade Hello, LL> Those of you who have non-blurred units can count yourself lucky during a boot LL> failure.

A lot of nice programs added, but why do the descriptions not follow the usual style? a lot of the new descriptions do no tell whether the program is free or shareware or commercial, and all of a sudden there are postal addresses in there too. What has happened? Also, I find the following addition particularly interesting: --- PC Therapist (0 KB) added 10/26/1999 Version 4.0 by Thinking Software Courtesy of The HP Palmtop Paper Artificial Intelligence:offsite, commercial ware. This is the program that won the Loebner prize for AI programs in 1991-92. It works on older desktops but requires an EGA monitor. --- The program isn't available for download, since it's commercial but the description says it requires EGA (which the palmtop doesn't have) to run. What's it doing there, then? I don't really want to complain or make too big a deal out of it (SUPER is a free service after all), but the new additions don't look as nice or easy to read as the old ones, if you ask me. Useful additions, though.

What has happened? In an effort to get the additions done as quickly as possible, I used databases provided by Thaddeus and didn't get the chance to actually try all the programs and merely relied on the provided descriptions.

Fast. FIR is supported by IrDa at 0.576, 1.152 and 4.0 Mbps and requires a DMA channel. Depending on the computer, it may be needed to change setup in order to avoid DMA conflicts. On one W95 laptop I found a way to work conveniently with it, but when a IR printer was used first, I had to stop and restart IR before I could use CPack on IR. While not elegant, that was no serious problem. On another, W98, laptop, I was automatically lead to install different drivers for the FIR port, which would not let me use CPack on IR (well, it works with the Aegis IR device on the serial cable, and it accepts hot inserts of flash cards, so there are other ways to transfer files). There probably are ways to do these installations correctly for both IR printing and serial IR communication with SIR (S for serial, speeds up to 115 Kbps), but I did not yet go for the repeated setup changes and restarts. If anyone has neat solutions, I would welcome these very much, though!

Yes, if the people you send messages to are having problems with the long = lines in Memo. You print to a file, then insert the file into your E-mail = program. If you know the name of the temporary file your E-mail program expects = from the message editor, then just use that name to save a step.

It's a cool program, but has some features that won't work in unregistered copies. Also it looks like the editor times out and quits working after 2 weeks of use. (At least it pops up a message in Japanese, and any changes typed in don't show up after that). Any clue what the registration fee is or how to send it to ANTON would be appreciated.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The US market is big enough to allow incompatibilities with the rest of the world to survive. Therefore, you can afford appliances without 120V/240V line voltage switching and you can also afford a non-metric system of weights and measures. If it would be vital for the US industry to sell their products in European countries, you would see the metric system in the US faster than the blink of an eye (it is not just inches vs. cm, nuts and bolts and most tools are also incompatible). But this is not so, US companies can do nicely just concentrating on their home market. Some areas like medicine where mistakes with weights and measures can be a question of life and death have almost totally converted to the metric system. Some companies like IBM who are manufacturing and selling their products all over the world have also converted to metric. BTW. Look at your plastic Coke bottles. What do you see?

The palmtops serial port has *THREE* different power supplies: GPIO pin 0: 3 volt IR power GPIO pin 5: wired serial power GPIO pin 15: 5 volt IR receiver power If you use BIOS functions to select WIRE connections, pin 5 is driven high and pin 0 and pin 15 are low. If you select IR connection, pin 5 is low and the other two are high. If you switch serial power off, all three are low. But if you select IR mode and then drive pin 15 low, you may still send through the IR port, but no longer receive. This knowledge should save a lot of battery power if an application only needs to send out IR data. The mobile problem only occurs, if pin 15 is driven high. Hence it must be a 5 volt circuit connected to this pin, which is causing the trouble. I would be glad to know, which of the 208 pins of the Hornet chip is GPIO pin 15 in order to trace down the circuit.

I have been meaning to ask you for an improvement to your program, but did not because I am not sure it would benefit anyone outside the USA. Yahoo USA can design any street map in the US that you wish (and some other countries also, I think). It would be great if those maps were directly viewable from your program.

Indeed you can also use color maps with LXMAP, even true color (16.777.216 colors) PCX maps, but the performance of LXMAP would go down to useless, because the colors have to be reduced to black and white and dithered. That needs a lot of calculation to be done and the result may not be readable on the palmtops 2-color screen. Therefore I recommend to use black and white PCX maps, which perform the best, because no color reduction has to be done, and the PCX compression decodes very fast.

There's enough non-linearities (by design) in this kind of stuff to demodulate any = signal that could find the door to come inside it.

After amplitude demodulation, this field can provide nice high level rectangular signals around 200 Hz...

The only ones I've ever seen are: 1) Genuine PCMCIA controllers which use an ISA card, either connected to the actual sockets (mounted in a 3.5" drive form factor) via ribbon cables, or with the sockets built into the back of the card. These provide PCMCIA sockets just like a laptop or the 200LX's socket, and (assuming your drivers or operating system supports it) will hot-swap and all that. Most OSes do support hot-swapping, with NT being the only exception I can think of. 2) The almost-useless IDE PCMCIA card readers that plug right into an IDE controller via standard IDE cable. These can't handle anything except ATA flash cards, and to use those, you have to turn the machine off, insert the card, turn it back on, auto-detect the "hard drive" or manually enter the information in the BIOS, and then boot up. I haven't seen any PCI devices, but I'd sure like to find one. There are lots of computers coming out now with no ISA slots at all, and installing a PCMCIA card reader in one of those isn't going to be possible unless somebody knows of a PCI version. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1999 20:12:36 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Chris Lott Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Lott Subject: Re: Swapping Flash Cards In-Reply-To: from "David Sargeant" at Nov 4, 99 05:17:07 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > >I just want to report that I'm very happy with my recent purchase of > > >the SCM Microsystems PCMCIA cradle for my desktop computer. > > > > Is this PCMCIA cradel an IDE, ISA, or PCI device? This unit I bought goes in an ISA slot. Fortunately my desktop had one ISA slot! The card itself is actually just a bunch of line drivers and two connectors - just an ISA bus extender. All the smarts are in the card cradle. Under my Win98 system, autodetect works fine on hard disks and my REX (which identifies as a SRAM card).

ÝI'm having a patch of trouble getting it to work with Word 5.5 though. It'll type along nicely (and while I have only a 1x unit, my typing was never fast anyway), but special characters-- basically anything requiring the shift key-- cause the unit to lock up.

Do you upload and edit the database with your palmtop? Perhaps some automation and standards would help you, e.g. when someone sends you a program, is this always done via mail? Why not create a web interface for uploads including a form for the necessary fields like "author", "status" (freeware, shareware, commercial), "URL", "email" etc. This could then be written in a beta version of the SUPER DB. If you create all the descriptions on your palmtop, you double your work, because the end app would be a web interface.

What you could do is to use Grabber, use the GR2PCX utility to make a .pcx file, view it in LXPIC, hit I to invert it and save the result. Then you can use PICEM or another utility to convert to .gif If you're capturing from graphic mode programs under SysMgr, you can use Capsys and set "Inverse" in the dialog box. As for the "squished" images, I think LXPIC can fix that, too. HTH Peniel ------------ 33m09s ago ...

Now if they would just get the backlit project done in time for this Christmas, I could upgrade my backup, backup machine (#3) to a backlit, doublespeed, 8 meg, or maybe 64 meg. Spring of 99 catalog has price of 8 meg doublespeed at $159, and it seems that is what I paid for mine. The 8 meg is plenty for me, and if I went to a larger size I would either have to change my backup strategy, or buy a larger flash card, because I do a full volume backup to my flash card every night, and then also once a week, and my "C" drive only has 2 meg of used space, so my 40 meg flash card has been large enough.

In regards to CPack, what kind of problem are you having? I DOS copied the Cpack directory from my desktop to my notebook, and app200.bat just ran fine (ie, without running the install program). My NT problems recently seemed to indicate Cpack may make use of DOS enironment space, the lack of which may result in disabling some of the apps. If you want to test this out, try making a backup copy of your autoexec.bat and then removing or commenting out some of the "SET" statements in the autoexec. this should free up some environment space.

Tom: Is there a FAQ somewhere that explains the installation of the basic OLB system that is required before I can use HisWord? I purchased a complete set of material from Mr. Linder last year. I had a rough time getting all the various translations and study guides installed, and basically just gave up. Mr. Linder's secretary said he would be glad to help me over the phone, but he was never there when I called. So it just sits on the shelf right now. I would *love* to dust it off and learn how to install it and get it/HisWord running. Seems like one of the difficult things had to do with making a stand-alone installation that didn't require a CD-ROM or floppy disk every time you started the program. I was assured it was possible, but the instructions were so difficult they couldn't be written down and only resided in Mr. Linder's head. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated... I'll even pay for my copy of HisWord if necessary.

Hi Russ - Try temporarily putting the path to the icon in the "Add Application" screen's path line. Tab to the icon selection box, and it should appear. Go back to the path line, and put in the real path, then hit "OK". Should do what you want.

I haven't looked at the docs or FAQ in a while, but the info _should_ be there. In a nutshell: 1. Install OLB "normally" which will extract the needed data files. 2. Copy the appropriate datafile directory (e.g. AV, Scholar), and included datafiles onto your palmtop. 3. Run HisWord the first time using the following command line: a:\hisword\hisword.exe a:\hisword\av to tell HisWord which datafile to use and its location. Alternately, you can create your own c:\_dat\hisword.cfg file to tell HisWord where to find its files. Here's a sample hisword.cfg: ---cut here--- ÝUser¨ Path=a:\hisword\av ---cut here--- This is only a minimal .cfg file to get you started...the docs/FAQ will describe additional options. I used to have a zip file around here somewhere that had an "installed" AV and Scholar. I'll have to dig it up and put it on my web site. BTW- (this is to anyone reading), I've been meaning to setup a mailing list for HisWord support. This would serve the added benefit of allowing other users to help with installation questions and leave me more time for coding new features. What mailing list software does anyone recommend for Linux? Do users of HisWord think that it would be beneficial to move discussions to a dedicated mailing list, or to leave them here? -- Tom Hoover N5NTM - http://www.hisword.net/tom - checkout HisWord(tm) Palmtop Bible at the above URL - ------- finger thoover@pobox.com for PGP key -------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 02:13:49 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Improved RING.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I added an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) test mode to my RING program.

Peniel- I think I tried what you suggested but I don't see the icon in the appmgr. I DO see the icon in the datacard when the db is open though.

Building your own cable is a bit of a pain (especially if you want to make it compact enough to put into the Newton keyboard case).

I know Pretec made a 56K version, along with a host of other CF products like network cards, and they used to advertise their flash cards as 200LX compatible, but all the CF modems I've seen drew quite a lot of power.

Sure...press "¬R" (actually "R" will also work) to set the range (i.e. set the beginning of the range to "1cor" and the end of the range to "2cor"). Press "F2" and search for "love". Note that the 2nd line shows the word "love" followed by 1Co 1:1 - 2Co 1:1 (your search range). NOTE: you must set the range _before_ performing the search.

Thought I'd mention that X-Finder can handle this very nicely with the installation of a small (11K) program on the desktop or laptop. Transfer can be done with a split-screen file manager (local on one side, remote on the other). Actual transfer speed is about 5K/second. It can transfer directories, preserving the structure. XF comes with commands already set up for doing complete backup and restore.

I backed up both machines to a ZIP disk (just in case) and then proceeded to copy the entire contents of the 100 to the 200. The copy went ok except for a FILE CREATION ERROR when it tried to copy the SETUP.ENV file to the 200. Skipping over that one, I continued copying the rest of the 100's files to the 200. After all the files were copied over, (except the SETUP.ENV) I checked to make sure the 200 was working correctly and it seemed to be. I then decided to copy some games I had and successfully copied 4 directories and their associated files. When I went to copy a 5th directory it wouldn't let me. I tried to use FILER to create a new directory but I get an error dialog box that says CAN'T CREATE NEW DIRECTORY. The C: drive now contains 5 directories (_DAT was already there) and 59 root directory files. As a test I tried using MEMO to create another file and save it to the root but MEMO says ERROR WRITING FILE. Any ideas?

Agree with on topic. I find the growth to be opposite to your experience. Since the HP announcement, there was a raft of new products, add-ons, programs, and development of hardware. The sales in my business have taken a jump up, too. Not gigantic, but significant, and it seems to hold at the new level now for about three months. Maybe it tells that people finally decided to rope themselves in with the 200LX and do not have a reason to believe anything new (and worthwhile) will come out of HP in the DOS-compatible computer arena. I also note the demise of Libretto as possibly part of it. Personally, I have taken also my own PC 110 out of mothballs and have been working on putting it together as a "travelling" back up machine to my palmtops. I have used so far the OB 800CT (a great machine!) and if the IBM can do the stuff I need, I will smaller stuff to carry while travelling. It seems to me that the handheld "serious" _mobile_ computing (which excludes in my mind almost all the WinCE line) is becoming incredibly interesting to people. This is probably fed by people being fed-up with WinCE, by advances in mobile telephony, and the real growing need to have computing on the go, pervasive, everywhere, all the time.

While I don't know if that is the problem, I believe that file is also 100/200 specific. Neither file should be restored from the 100 to the 200. And then, since you did not copy setup.env, you might not have the disk/memory allocation that existed on his 100. You might now have more memory and less disk space.

Usually, the program starts in the middle of Genesis 1. Solutions? The "place setter" bookmark is totally automatic. To enable it, add "BookMark=Genesis 1:1" to the ÝUser¨ section of HisWord.cfg. When you start HisWord, you'll be placed at Genesis 1:1, instead of a "blank screen" on screen level "0". If you read a few chapters, and then quit HisWord, your "place" will be saved. When you restart HisWord, you'll be returned to your "place". Note that this feature does not use any key combination to activate it...HisWord just updates the "BookMark" setting in HisWord.cfg anytime you quit the program. (NOTE: this means that if you reboot your palmtop with HisWord running, it will not save your "place".) Also note that your "reading" must take place on the initial screen level (level 0). If you want to save your place in any other screen level, use the normal ctrl-F1 thru ctrl-F10 key commands. Please note that you can start the BookMark with any verse in the Bible...not just Genesis 1:1. I hope that made sense. -- Tom Hoover N5NTM - http://www.hisword.net/tom - checkout HisWord(tm) Palmtop Bible at the above URL - ------- finger thoover@pobox.com for PGP key -------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 17:17:16 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mberri01@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael Berrier Subject: HPLX Backlight MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi list, please up date me with the backlight for HP 200LX.

I used both, and Word 5.5 is definitely easier and more similar to Windows word processors than WP51, but I find WP51 faster and vastly more powerful. It does have some annoying features, though, such as the non-standard highlighting (Alt-F4 instead of just holding down shift). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 14:50:17 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: HPLX Backlight Comments: To: Mberri01@AOL.COM In-Reply-To: <0.d83185a1.255602ec@aol.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sat, 6 Nov 1999, Michael Berrier wrote: > please up date me with the backlight for HP 200LX.

Comments: To: A Meshar MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit With the discussions about staying "on topic" by fresh blood, let me offer one I'm sure most of you already know. I'm interested in purchasing an LX specifically to run Lotus Agenda on the road. I find a Palm Pilot to be "not quite enough," but that's true of all the PIMs I've tried since the beginning. (Frankly, Agenda could use a real healthy update, too. But I don't own the code.) I'm also a little reluctant because of the size. It's a little big to tote around not inside your brief case, and once it gets inside a brief case it may as well be left in the airport bathroom for all it will ever get used. So my question is, "Does anyone here use the LX for this?" I'm not really interested in the ten thousand "other great things" that a palm-top can do. I just want a good place to store notes quickly and get them assigned to categories for me. And an LX seems to be cheaper than a personal secretary to go through my daytimer. If you use Agenda, how well does it work? How easily can you keep data in sync with a desktop within the Agenda environment? (I know the files can be transferred. How do you not get out of sync?) Any other gotcha's before I try to convince my wife I need to sink more into an organizer when she already gave me a palm pilot.

You want power and real control of the printed output? Use Wordperfect. Before Windows became potty trained, Wordperfect had the best print quality of any DOS programs I ever used. But it is not easy to use.

Hi Tom. Are you planning to implement the rest of the Online Bible features (the essential ones, at least)? For example, the ability to select a note or topic, highlight the Bible reference, press enter, and out pops the Bible text. This would render the Online Bible program itself unnecesary. Also, if the notes, topics, etc. could display in zoom modes as well as the text, it would be neat. On another note, the last version of the Online Bible for DOS (the one on Tom's web site) doesn't appear to contain the manual file. If anyone has it and was willing to email it to me, I would be very grateful. While the last version would be best, any version would do.

It's getting very hard to find web sites with the Online Bible for Dos lately, and then they only have a few materials. As far as the installation, are you aware of the fact that you have to unzip the zip files into floppies before it will install? Just wondering (it will not install from the cd.

Let's say that I'm using the BookMark feature to keep track of my reading thru the Bible (the intended use of the BookMark feature). After reading a couple of chapters today, I decide to do a quick search and end up looking at another verse when I quit. When I restart, I'd be returned to the wrong location. > P.S.

I guess it does make sense. How about expanding the number of ctrl-Fn bookmarks available? Personally I would find that converting all the search mode bookmarks into view mode bookmarks would be more useful for me. Since I am sure some people use search mode bookmarks, how about an option in the cfg file to change this to either way? > Is your Juno address the one that I should use to update the beta > tester's list?

While color pics are slow on the palmtop, I have viewed them before, and the speed did not bother me. The problem with the maps I mentioned is that the street names do not appear to be readable on ANY graphics program I have tried, only on a web browser. Also, the conversion process sometimes renders some of the colors unviewable, rendering the maps unusable. I was not asking that you improve the speed of your program, but that you support the viewing of such maps directly, which would render the need for a map database unnecesary, but I guess you are not interested from what you said.

Longden Loo and I worked on doing this sort of thing a while back. The USGS has a database of all US cities, and huge databases of cities and other features by state, and I think Longden imported all the larger cities in California into World Travel 2.0, thus giving him the ability to do just what you want. I'll search my mail archives and look for the URLs to both the database of all cities (which you could then sort by city size and use the ones you want) and the state databases, unless Longden remembers those addresses. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 23:14:33 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , S_Carder@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Carder Subject: Re: CP Pack and Fluff/Motorcycle Comments: To: Tom Nemeth MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > 1.

Hi David- I've been using WWW/LX since it came out. It works very well for finding info on the web. Inline graphics can be switched off for speed. It handles frames like Lynx does - it shows a list of frames on the page, and links to your choice. If used with LXPIC, it can show inline jpg and gif graphics. HV (the browser part) allows use of multiple fonts. You may have the occasional problem with some sites that act like anything except M$IE or Netscape are from the stone age, but this may be changed with the newest update of WWW/LX. I have it, but haven't tried any of the hostile sites lately. BTW - I see you're using NetTamer 1.11 How do you like that release? I haven't used this since 1.08 - when I switched to WWW/LX. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 00:21:03 +0900 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , ITSUMI ken-ichi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: ITSUMI ken-ichi Subject: PE/PIM wish list (Was PE/PIM possible new features) Comments: To: Paulo.Custodio@SNAFU.DE In-Reply-To: Paulo Custodio's message of "Sun, 7 Nov 1999 14:16:03 +0000" <382597B3.8C023463@snafu.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 (generated by SEMI 1.10.1 - "Morimoto") Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII In message "PE/PIM possible new features" on 99/11/07, Paulo Custodio writes: >I finally got it!

Exactly _this_ would solve the problem that Stefan, Andreas and myself are working on: Our problem is, as some of you may know, that the palmtop reveives signals when the IR port is powered and if a cell phone lies near the palmtop. These signals are caused by induced voltages in one of the IR port ICs (induced by the electromagnetic field around the antenna of a cell phone). So it's difficult to make an IR connection work between the 100/200LX and a cell phone that is online. We tried to use aluminium and copper foils to prevent the electronagnetic waves from getting into the palmtop, but this doesn't work reliably. As we know, the IR port of the 95 LX is stronger that the IR port of the 100/200, and as we also know, the 95's IR port does _NOT_ receive these signals when a cell phone is near. So my guess is: HP designed the IR port of the 100/200LX more power saving than the IR port of the 95 LX. This means: lower voltages and/or currents are used in the new IR port, so the low voltages that are induced by the cell phone's field have no effect in the 95's IR port, but it has in the 100/200LX's port. (If I say 'IR port' I don't mean only the IR LED, but also all the electronics between the LED and the serial port UART, that's used by both the IR and wired port.) So it would really be nice if it was possible to remove the IR port electronics from a HP95LX and mount it into a 100/200 LX. So we had no problems with going online on the road via IR. (But we would have a shorter battery life due to the higher power consumption of the 95LX's IR port). Thanks for comments!

The cell phone is connected to the 700LX via a wired port (PCMCIA card?), not via infrared, so the IR port isn't active when the cell phone is active. The bad signals are only received by the IR port electronics, not by any other components (even the serial port UART doesn't receive it, because then the signals had to be received also when the wired port is active, and that's not the case).

Also, are you familiar with "Folio Views"? I have a copy of the Bible in that format and find the most useful function to be the ability to define "groups" and then assign/delete specific texts to any (even multiple) group. I create groups that I am studying or interested in. Any time that I run across a text that fits one of those groups and that I want to save in the group, I can. When wanting to study a certain group, a search is done on that group, and all related texts are displayed (even though they may have no specific "word" relations.) It seems that this function would be fairly easy to implement (everything looks easy to an outsider) by creating a file for each group and adding text pointers to that file whenever a text is added to the group. A search would then allow choosing the group file, and displaying the texts pointed to. Folio views has become an almost defacto standard for infobases, being used by many governmental agencies and corporations. If you then made the ability to import a file, we could use your program for ANY information (as has already been alluded to in previous posts). This would allow a huge leverage of your time and effort.

This > would allow a huge leverage of your time and effort. I've gotten lots of files in Views 2.1 format for the palmtop, since discovering it with the free LXREF 200LX SDK which includes a runtime. It seems to have lots of general-purpose reference program ability as well, so I've been in contact with the people who made it, but they're of no help when it comes to the old DOS version. No source code, no SDK to customize it for the palmtop, no assistance. Sure would be nice if the file format could be decoded so we could make a palmtop-designed viewer, especially since they told me that Views 2.1 isn't Y2K compatible. I haven't tested it or anything, but since we're almost there, I'm a bit nervous and sure wish we could design a palmtop-friendly version, perhaps combining some the nice features of HisWord (like zoom-mode recognition, notes, bookmarks, etc.) with the ability to read Views files. That would be great for hypertext reference material of any sort. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 7 Nov 1999 11:42:32 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ain Vale Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ain Vale Subject: Newton keyboard with Word MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > >ÝI'm having a patch of trouble getting it to work with Word 5.5 > >though.

Can you pass me the symptoms you get? (I carry a cell phone, so clients can reach me; same shirt, different pockets. Sounds like this may harass me soon.) The circuitry attached to the photodiode would usually include a variable gain amplifier and an "AGC" circuit, to help that cope with differing IR signal strengths (the other IR device may be closer or further away, and weak or strong); either that amplifier or the AGC could be picking up the cell phone signals, and that could be he source of the problem (I'm not a cell phone expert, just know a little about RF.) I'd perhaps try adding a small Surface Mount inductor (choke) in series with the photosensor, as 40 kHz is the usual IR modulation & cell phones are up in the 800+ MHz range, a SMALL inductor should make a large difference, I would think! These can be small as .072" x .09" x .06" tall, $1.50 cost or less. Perhaps just a couple ferrite beads, on the leads, at about 15 cents apiece? Those can be tiny!) Would it help anyone here, BTW, if I made a little unit to extend the range of the 200LX's IR port? I think that can be done, fairly easily. Thinking of using the 10-pin serial port connector as a positioner for the unit. Also thinking of having the stronger signals enter/exit at the rear of the 200LX, and maybe also having an AC adapter plugin in this at the same time (could have a LOT of IR power if I did that ) Anyone prefer right-side IR transcieve? Most of my machines have IR on the rear, I'm "used to" that. (It's the pits to have to set one up, then turn it 180 degrees & then set the next up, especially for debugging - Diagnos.Exe is sure handy, lets you see what's happening ) Mark Stefan Peichl wrote: > > This is our present knowledge concerning the stray RF signals > of mobile phones interfering with the palmtops IR port: > > -the problem occurs only, if the serial port is set up for IR. > > -the problem occurs only, if the IR serial channel is powered. > > -the receiving photo diode is not the problem.

I'd bet that the 200LX's IR power was decreased to save batteries, to lengthen battery life further. Looking from the outside, the black smaller unit is probably the IR receiver, the larger clear unit the sender, at a guess here? (Where IS that T6 bit lost at?, grumble Think I'll just go buy another.) The two parameters for IR LED power are current and voltage; Most IR LED's are set up to run at about 1.7V forward voltage, at 20 mA or so maximum. You put them across 5V (output by the control circuitry), with a series resistor to drop the voltage across the LED, so as not to blow it. You also want the peak wavelength you send at, from the LED you use, to be the same as the peak wavelength of sensitivity for the receiver, for best function The usual ways you get stronger transmission for IR are: * Shorten the distance; light does that 1/R¬2 thing, twice the distance means 1/4 the power. * Use a more efficient LED. Newer LED's are better than older ones, and send more light out for the same power in; Might be able to stick this into the LX, as most IR LED's are similar (1.5-1.7V forward voltage, 20mA or so current limit.) Solder carefully * Use a lens to focus the IR onto the receiver better. Impractical, methinks, for the 200LX * Use multiple LED's in parallel. (Cannot do that without some kind of driver, the 200LX's electronics probably wouldn't LIKE this, I'll look.) Easy to do on an external board. Though, if we can pull the current IR LED and stick a second LED in series with a smaller replacement resistor, so you get twice the IR output for the same power usage, might be able to fit this in the 200LX; Where to put that LED, hmmm, Is it possible to stick 2 smaller LED's in the space of the one larger LED, one smaller LED atop the other? I wonder Probably would just parallel 6 IR LED's on the external board I was thinking of making, drive them all off 12V, that'd work pretty well to send harder * Drive the LED with a higher voltage, if the circuitry in the LX allows - replace the series resistor with another, smaller resistor, to drive that LED harder. Don't overdo this, or you melt the LED, which is "bad". * Drive the LED with a lot higher current, with a low duty cycle. Some "Light Radar" jammers use a set of several huge IR emitters, all in series/parallel, driven off something like 9 or 12 volts, at several AMPS apiece; If your control circuitry fails, they melt. So long as the power's flipped on & off fast & repeatedly, you get an effective huge power output, with not so much power usage. This was what I thought of doing for the external add-on board I may make.

It's the latter, and they refused to give me any info about the file format, stating it was "core technology." Apparently the format is still similar enough to 2.1 in the latest Windows versions that they don't want to give it away, although that may change since the company who made Views 2.1 (Folio) has been acquired by new companies twice since I last spoke to anybody there. If anybody would care to help out with figuring out the file format so we could do a palmtop reader, I've already done a little bit of work on it, but haven't gotten very far. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 7 Nov 1999 15:12:05 -0600 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: His Word / infobases Comments: To: bobv In-Reply-To: <3825C77B.F775D1B8@sos.net>; from bobv@SOS.NET on Sun, Nov 07, 1999 at 10:39:55AM -0800 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Sun, Nov 07, 1999 at 10:39:55AM -0800, bobv wrote: > > I create groups that I am studying or interested in.

By "crashed", it sounds like it's not working anymore, otherwise he'd just copy those files back to the LX. If that's the case, my only advice would be to get a replacement LX ASAP. Of send the crashed unit in to someplace like Thaddeus ... (or whatever they have in Singapore) and hope for a quick turnaround for repair. If viewing the phone data is needed, he could load Palrun/DBView (from the SUPER site) on the PC and look at the phone data (but not appt). If he was short on cash, he could try asking someone on the list to run a dump on his appt.adb file and send it back as a csv formatted file.

Even the pros follow this route: hook up the screen, turn it on, and poke around until pressing one of the ICs fixes the lines, then look for trouble around that area and fix it. Of course, you have to have some way of having the screen on while also having access to the ICs... Of course, if anybody does have that kind of info, please let us know!

Perhaps, as a personal opinion that's possible. Compared with the possibilities and power, it can not be better than WP51. The speed seems to be the same. The plus of WP is e.g. the better print preview, character sets, user-definable keyboards, background-backups, a macro programming-language (not only keystrokes!). You will have compatibility with other products as: PlanPerfect (spreadsheet, screenshot on www.goeldi.com/lx/ ) DataPerfect (database app, available on www.palmtop.net ) WP Office 4.x (has a programmable shell, calculator, simple database as the lx-built-in, calendar) LetterPerfect (WP lite) Lotus 1-2-3 WordPerfect can load Lotus spreadsheets directly. It has long filenames since 1991 (screenshot on www.goeldi.com/lx/ )! When you have problems in printing very very very large docs, you can print them directly from disk. There is an option, that is not already implemented for the LX: I had a Sharp Laptop with an AT&T-compatible CGA screen. This CGA screen was able to display 640x400! As you know, the CGA standard is 640x200. There was EGA with 640x350. VGA is 640x480. So it was between EGA and VGA! I think, if they could produce a non-standard screendriver like this, why should it not be possible to get a textdriver for the LX zoom modes? Of course, the zoom functions in WP. But what i'd like is a zoom in a way, that the menubar stays on his position etc. (like the built-in and EXM apps or PE). -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 07:52:34 +0100 Reply-To: Stephan Goeldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: Re: MS Word Comments: To: David Sargeant MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >I used both, and Word 5.5 is definitely easier and more similar to Windows >word processors than WP51, but I find WP51 faster and vastly more >powerful.

If you write a lot in Windows, and functions, power and speed is not as important, Word and WP are the same. The highlighting in WP (Alt-F4) was implemented at a time, other word processors hadn't this function (Word 5.5 came out some years after WP51). WP51 was one of the first apps with a SAA-like interface. If somebody gets used to the direct keystrokes of WP (yes, you can reach a lot of functions with direct key- strokes, that's especially important for a pc like the LX, where you don't want to surf around in a lot of menues), she won't miss it. -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 16:06:09 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Cristian Rigamonti Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Cristian Rigamonti Subject: COM1's status changes automatically in DOS... Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" While using LXPro to monitor the status of the COM1 port, I've noticed that the port's status changes automatically every time I run a DOS program: sometimes, when the port is ON, opening a DOS application causes it to turn OFF (no way to keep it ON using LXPro); other times, the problem is the opposite: the port is OFF, but it goes ON as I start DOS (no way to keep it OFF with LXPro)! It happens even with the DOS prompt from the Application Manager, and in this case the SERCTL command has no influence on the port's status. After some experimenting I noticed the following: - The problem happens only after having switched to and from Filer or Datacomm. If I don't use Filer or Datacomm, the problem doesn't arise. - The problem doesn't arise (i.e. the port stays ON or OFF as I set it) when accessing a "pure" DOS prompt (i.e. after a "Terminate all" from the AppMan) So it seems that the Filer and Datacomm applications cause some trouble with the ON/OFF management of the port. Please note that I don't have any TSR running in the background, other than LXPro. Anyone can give an explanation? Maybe it's a problem of LXPro? How can I be sure to set the COM1 permanently OFF, in order to save energy?

It was trial and error to find something that even worked (some XTPs wouldn't compress and some needed named to COM first instead of EXE). Where an executable was compressable by more than one compressor and correctly ran, I chose the best compression. I used XtreeGold's batch command (tag files then Ctrl-b) to quickly copy all XTPs to both .EXE and .COM, and use PKLite, Diet, and LXexe to compress all copies. That's 6 permutations per XTP file. It was then trial and error to see what worked best. On your HP palmtop, you can also delete all video drivers except XTP_CGA.DRV to save more space.

I performed the test to see if the Hp700 was better shielded. The tests I performed showed that the Hp 700 is just as bad as the Hp200. I guess the orginal thought was that since the Hp700lx where built to dock with a cellular the shielding was better.

First some short theory from the SDK: > The infrared receiver uses a photo diode to detect the > incoming IR light. The light pulse is transformed into a CMOS > level digital pulse by the IR receiver. The IR format decoder > then generates the appropriate serial bit stream which is sent > to the UART. The IR port may be programmed in a way, so that an incoming light pulse to the IR receiver generates an interrupt, telling the interrupt owner that a digital pulse has occurred. This IR mode of operation is completely different from the IR's usual UART mode of operation where you have no access to individual pulses. I wrote a little test program which proved, that this interrupt is caused by a mobile phone, even if the photo diode is disconnected from the palmtop. Hence the mobile 'simulates' a light pulse within the IR receiver. This unfortunately means: there will never be a software solution of this problem. If shielding doesn't solve the problem either, another possibility could be to attach a second IR hardware to the wired serial port, which is not sensitive to EM interference. Thaddeus offers the Aegis IR-HP5 receiver/transmitter for the serial port of a desktop. I wonder if it also works if it is connected to the serial port of the palmtop. Could anyone owning the IR-HP5 could test that? The IR-HP5 looks smaller than any other serial IR device I saw.

Well, there are two problems with Arachne (which BTW works with any old desktop PC, be it XT or 286, CGA or Hercules). It uses a rather stupid way to display inline pictures: all GIF, JPEG, etc. are first converted by an external application to BMP format and then output to screen. This means added CPU cycles and disk space requirements. In contrast, HV uses LxPic directly. There are a few benefits of Arachne's solution. It allows using a large-memory command-line image format converter, which works from/to picture files. Thus progressive JPEG and interlaced GIF processing are no problem, they are converted to BMP. But shortcomings are numerous: disk access on XT/286 machines is slow and double processing involves unnecessary CPU load. I have talked to XChaos developer about a year ago, to consider using a different layout for 286/XT optimized version: a dual method based partly on LxPic. Every file format, which is adequ- ately (full-quality display) supported by LxPic would be put to screen directly; while other file formats (progr. JPG, intl. GIF, TIFF, PNG) remain to be converted by the recent external engine. Considering that still most of Net graphics are plain JPG/Gif, which are OK for LxPic; speed advantage could amount to 30-35%. Reply was, that he can only use such applications for Arachne modules, which are provided with full source code. Now he has his own 100LX and he is interested in the 4-grayshade mode; so I think Stefan should at least document and release the infor- mation relating to implementation of that mode in LxPic v6.2. There is one other thing badly needed in Arachne: multitasking stack/socket. Any web-browser running on pre-386 machines is badly plagued by single-thread sock. When you use Netscape/IE on desktop, you can see that several pictures are downloaded and displayed simultaneously. This tremendously speeds up your connection, as downloading one object usually can't fill up the available bandwith, not even on a 14.4k modem. I see, it is very hard to write safe (stable) multi-tasking stack for a real-mode DOS browser; because there is no special hardware in CPU to rely on. Maybe DOS itself is not suitable at all for this. But without this feature XT/286 DOS browsers will always be at an added speed penalty. Arachne is a fine product, but finally it may prove that there is something wrong with its design. It already consumes too much low ram. I don't know if it will be real alternative to WWW/LX.

But then you'd have to rename ccLXPOP to ccLXMTA (which doesn't sound as good) :-) At least you'd be the second palmtop application with IMAP support.

Last time I tried it with maps I could not make heads or tails from either desktop or palmtop. Now I can actually *READ* street names! I was going by my last recollections with maps (though I have been with it with graphics and photos). It seems that I must have been out of touch with the changes in the program these last 2 years with maps. Who needs the palmtop net maps? To Yahoo maps I go, to yahoo maps I go, . . . 8=) Sorry for the trouble, Stephan. When I press W, now the street names show up very clearly.

I'm not really that interested in setting up CSi as an ISP using WWW/LX right now. At a minimum, I just want simple (no fancy IP configurations) CSi email access from my HP200LX right now. Does acCIS 4.0 also offer email access? More importantly, I seem to remember some talk a while back that the text access option to CSi is no longer available to new CIS customers. So, with that in mind, does acCIS 4.0 require text access? I currently use my desktop for all web access, but in the future, I would like the ability to experiment with a simple HP200LX version of the Arachne browser with CSi. Would that also be possible for new CSi customers? Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Capacitors did the trick for me with a power supply that is used to power some amatuer radio equipment that I have. The RF was leaking into the = supply and giving it fits, a couple of capacitors made it perform like a champ. That is a good possibility. With some of the phones operating in the 1.2 GigaHertz range it is concievable that the leads could be acting as a 1/4 wavelength antenna and soaking up the RF.

Excellent commercial DOS-based accounting, but has required 386 for several versions now, as I recall. I also played around with TCOB (available on simtel) for a while, and it was pretty good.

Notes may be useful for entering the source of your information, but then if all of it comes from the same place, then the information is redundant. I don't use the note field myself in WDB, so it's low priority to me. I think WDBDump would be something good.

I do that too, but the resize feature in Views is not easy to do at all, and not flexible either. You can only configure two windows and the rest follow that. For example, if you configure windows so that new ones overlap the old ones a few characters to the right, side-by-side, they continue outward with no respect for the zoom limits of the (zoomed) screen. A split-screen view would be nice too: one where you can define windows and have the application view the data in all the windows on the screen at once. That way, you could define two or even three side-by-side windows and read the first one, then skip to the second one, then the third, and then press PgDn and have the next page fill up the 2-3 windows, thus giving you the benefits of not having to scroll your eyes across the whole screen (same as the benefits of VR) while still getting lots of info at once.

That's why, considering these pros and cons, I would only evaluate these filtering means after having introduced a very well referenced shielding, providing somehow a global protection, and quantified its efficiency.

I just posted a few days ago a unit I was satisfied with. Costs $115. It's by SCM Microsystems, and Envoy is the distributor. I am pleased with it's operation. It is a front-loading drive, and holds two cards. I think the top slot can hold Type III cards - I guess the bottom slot could too, if you don't have anything in the top slot.

I believe the limit is not from DOS 5, but from the BIOS. On desktops, older computers with a pure cylinder-head-sector method of mapping drive sizes could only go up to about 528MB. On the palmtop, it may be different. I know there are people working on drivers to read large flash cards that don't currently work in the 200LX (you need the Acecard driver to read anything over 220MB) and perhaps these drivers will enable us to read flash cards of any size.

We have threads on dining in Vegas, shows in Vegas, shared I for one, encouraged the Vegas thread, but didn't see that as entirely off-topic since several list members were planning on "doing Vegas" for Comdex, so the information being offered by members is useful and timely to a group of us. True, that this is not palmtop-related, but it is certainly important to a number of members (lurking and otherwise) who might be otherwise difficult to reach individually. I ask for a bit of indulgence here, Comdex is indirectly relevant to our palmtop, and does not recur with a frequency that should pose an ongoing bandwidth problem.

With a > doublespeed unit, just how much serious work can one get done? I like First, I work at D&A Software, which sells WWW/LX. HV is a client program that "paints" Web documents on the palmtop screen. You use the term "serious Webbrowsing" and I am not sure what you mean. My take: HV is a 75K program. It supports HTML 3.2 specifications. This means no Java, no Javascript, no animated GIFs. Tables are not rendered as you may be used to them in Netscape or MSIE, but much simpler and with regard to the screen limitations (and CGA). Frames are rendered by creating an on the fly document with links to each of the pages in the frameset, since it is hard to imagine cramming a 1078x1280 (or even a full 640x480) into a CGA screen for example. There are other limitations for HV, check the docs. Unfortunately, the Web is a moving target and daily, another doodad is invented - not a chance for these to be supported. Some Webpages are full of doodads, and will not show well, if at all on HV. It also seems there is more and more doodads, and less content on the Web, but it may be just my personal impression. Others mind the fact that they try to convery information, not wow-factor, and those Webpages look file. You also mentio you look for info, not visual effects - it may work fine with HV, depends on the doodad-factor of the Webpage and if the Webmaster decided Java is a must or not. HV is freeware that works with the WWW/LX TCP/IP stack. Hope this helps. Avi M.

Your mileage may vary. Sometimes it can harm the palmtop, but usually not. However, of course, the palmtop won't be able to use the power if the polarity is wrong.

I wonder if it's possible to fix this by editing the HFN fonts used by HV. They can easily be edited using PFE (PAL Font Editor). I think PFE is available from SUPER.

I really like the concept of making use of the inbuilt ccMail program to manage my email, particularly since I have a 2M HP200LX and use a PCMCIA modem. On to the issue of improvements, I would like to see the following additions to ccLXPOP in priority order: 1. Skipped emails (due to size limitations) should have a header downloaded including a file size. This is particularly useful if you don't watch the screen output as emails are downloaded (ie. I'm getting that first cup of coffee for the day) 2. An ability to populate the ccMail address book with phone book email entries, possibly a CSV import function. I hope you find these suggestions useful and keep up the good work.

Any shielding done inside the palmtop failed, because the mainboard cannot be wrapped entirely into the shielding material. The connectors for keyboard, pcmcia, serial port, power supply and backup battery must be left open, which destroys any success. I killed a keyboard and found the ferrit bead, but it is too large to fit into the palmtop and the palmtop has no wires inside. It uses a printed board. Hence next test will use a capacitor.

For my money, the next LX-type palmtop doesn't need a colour screen but a bigger one (without making the casing larger). HP managed this with the 600 LX series - the screen is almost as large as the casing. If we hope to upgrade to the Morphy One another point to consider will be the f-keys arranged in two rows rather than in one. I can't think of good reason why the Morphy One developers arranged the f-keys like that. BTW, why are the Japanese ahead of the Americans in designing the next LX-type Palmtop? And has anyone researched the realistically achievable specs that the HP Palmtop community would like in the 200LX follow-up?

Except for a couple of years using WP on a Macintosh (which is a whole different program) I've always used various versions of Word on both PCs and Macs. One of the most important issues to me in a word processor is WYSIWYG representation of how the document will look when it is printed. Word on the palmtop shows character styles (bold, underline, italic, strike through, small caps, double underline, superscript and subscript) represented graphically on the editing screen. It does not show different fonts (i.e. Times, Courier etc.) and it does not show different point sizes.

It is called a 'bead' because it has a hole in it. (like a string of beads in a necklace. ) It is simply slipped over the wire like a bead on a necklace. It acts as a low-pass filter by letting the low frequencies pass and blocking high frequencies. If the inductor had too high impedance value it might reduce the signal you wanted to use too. I've used ferrite beads on the supply lines to amplifiers to keep RF from affecting the amplifiers, and to block RF on audio outputs. If the 'noise' was getting into the equipment thru these paths the beads worked well. Does anyone have a circuit schematic of that area of the LX, I'm not a 'pro' at this, but I have several friends who are electronics engineers and they may have some good ideas!

Formatting, MBR, etc take up space but not 14% of the drive. This has been verified with Simple. My experience with Sandisk is the opposite. That is, they have a 100% IDE drive and the size is reduced by the correct amount for formatting, etc. This will explain the 300 vs. 320 comment. -----Original Message----- From: HPLX Mailing List Ýmailto:HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu¨On Behalf Of Brown, William Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 3:35 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: 1.2 Gb Type II PC Card <<< From: Christopher Allen ÝSMTP:callen@efn.org¨ Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 1:54 AM To: wear-hard@haven.org Subject: Sandisk's 1.2 gig type II PC cards (From the upping-the-ante-dept.)

You need to send that message from the account you are subscribed from. This will get the quickest results. 2) fill out the form on http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml (aka list.hplx.net). I process these requests manually, so it may take a while, but usually not more than a few hours. 3) send ME NOT THE HPLX-L! a message and I will process your request ASAP 4) call me on the phone (860)486-6126 and will process your request.

I haven't used this since 1.08 - when I switched to WWW/LX. For what it does, Nettamer is superb. It allows me to run the same email package on both my desktop and palmtop.

I've recently been playing with such a package, and thought I'd pass along the results. The package in question is the "Evelyn Wood Dynamic Reader" - a package which was published years ago by Timeworks. The software seems to run fine on my single speed 200LX. I've managed to replace the "on disk" exercise files, with my own, by reformatting plain text to 55 columns. The program has the ability to display this text, full screen or in a scrolling window, at increasing speeds. The LCD screen seems to have no problem "keeping up" - which had been my one concern. So, if anyone is interested in practicing your speed reading (I took the course years ago), and if you can locate this package, it's a good alternative.

I wonder if perhaps the Fn-l or some other Fn-? is being accidently pressed which might turn off certain buddy functions. I've accidently done this while using TSE (qedit) and found that I could not re-invoke those buddy functions while still in the editor. Meaning I could accidently turn off d-click or smartcaps from the editor but not turn it back on while still in the editor. And the accidental Fn-? was instead of hitting an Alt-? sequence - in other words a typo. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 10 Nov 1999 22:54:26 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Just jumping in since the subject leads to questions and possibly a discussion. Why not use the appt function? I've had the HP's forever now (G) and have only once used the stopwatch/alarm (more as a test than anything useful! (G)) always using the appt function. I guess that there is no countdown type "warn me in 45 minutes" but find the appt does about everything needed even if I do have to do my own math to get a 30 or 50 minute warning. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 10 Nov 1999 16:02:42 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Word 5.5 vs. WP 5.1 on the palmtop In-Reply-To: <85256825.0050BB1B.00@MLILHUB01@manulife.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 10 Nov 1999, Bruce Martin wrote: > Word on the palmtop shows character styles (bold, underline, italic, > strike through, small caps, double underline, superscript and > subscript) represented graphically on the editing screen.

Unsolder, fit the beads, re-solder. They make some really small ferrite beads. If it'll do the job, I can buy a "scad" for people, and mail them to those willing/able to do this change (Thaddeus, Times2Tech, and I could also do this for whatever's reasonable for anyone else.) I can get beads as small as 1/8" x 1/8" for the LED's.

I'm curious about something; What happens when you connect across the photodiode's pads with a 10 or 100 ohm resistor - does this noise interrupt problem go completely away? Or does it keep happening? (This sort of simulates having the IR LED pointed straight at the sun, should "drown" the amplifier & stop the noise, unless some other part of the machine's also contributing to the problem by being an antenna?) Just removing the diode is sort of like shoving the clutch in, when your car's engine's throttle is stuck too high - it doesn't solve all the problems, but at least you don't go sailing off the road (as your engine explodes in flames ) The resistor's the reverse, might solve the problem The usual way to reduce noise's effects is to decrease the RF impedance of those PC traces to ground, and increase the impedance through the diode's leads & PC board pads to the amplifier, while keeping about the same impedance at the photo diode terminals for 400 KHz type frequencies (those at which the IR diodes transmit.)

Your skin makes a NICE, huge cell phone antenna, making the problem far worse - I'm pretty sure this tells us that our problem's the input amplifier, right there, driven off the diode. > Any other test ideas? Try a 1nF or 10nF cap across the diode, with *short* leads, and maybe then also try ferrite beads on the LED's leads. Also that resistor across the photodiode pads (or just short them, when fully lighted the photodiode drops to about 0.7V voltage drop, so shouldn't hurt it.)

If you're not interested in Elvis (vi), please forgive the noise. Using Winsi.sys, yet-another Ansi.sys replacement, you can run Elvis in 18-line, 64-column mode (or any other LX screen mode, AFAIK). Winsi.sys let's you define a window for DOS programs that use line-mode output. Lines will wrap on the columns you define for the window, and output won't go beyond the lines you define. Winsi.sys was written by David Goodman in 1992 for the 95LX, and it works fine on my DS 200 and my pentium desktop. If it's not on SUPER, I can send a copy to anyone interested. Once Winsi.sys is installed (you can use the SC "device" command to install it in just one sesion), you can set up the Elvis environmentals. Set TERM=3Dansi (or nansi, doesn't seem to make any difference), set LINES=3D18 and set COLUMNS=3D64. Then do: echo ¬ÝÝ1;1;64;18W and Winsi will set the window size. (¬Ý is Escape - from the command line you can enter this as Control-V Escape.) Zoom the display to 64x18. Then launch Elvis. The command line will be at the bottom of the screen, and the entire display will be contained within the window. If it looks funny, do :q and clear the screen and try it again--you might have missed a step. One you're comfortablle with it, you can write a .bat file to do all this and then set the window back to 80x25 if you want. -George ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 01:48:25 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , GJColeman@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: George Coleman Subject: Re: Elvis on the LX with WINSI.SYS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Forgot to mention that this also works with Thompson Toolkit's vi, which is based on Elvis.

Better upgrade to 5.5 at least... Yes, it does have that problem. And supposedly, it not only chokes on the file but brings down the computer. I have 5.5 but I'm not ready to move just yet. While the 5.0 interface is odd, it is an odd I've grown use to. 5.5 is more like, was it quickbasic or their editor, and I'm not use to it. Also a number of my "macros" did not convert.

(g) More, what I don't want to give up on the desktops (both win95) and the HP is my use of Smartkey - nothing in macro utilities comes close in Win95. It has a "lead in key" which means you can assign the normal key, the shift, alt and ctrl versions and not interfere with those versions in applications. First you press the lead key alone and then the assigned key. So I press "lead and a" and it types "approximately." I type "lead and c" and it types "comprehensive plan" while if I type "lead Shift c" it types a who paragraph regarding the "comp plan." Similarly, "lead alt c" types yet another phrase. Not interfering with the regular function of alt-c. Hard to give up old tools!

I'd be more than happy if someone with more electronic background could jump into it! I will surly provide you with any needed test software. I already added a debug mode to the RING program. It does now quantify the error, because, as we know, WWW can recover from a certain amount of errors (like the number of errors, the Nokia 8810 produces), but we don't know yet, where this limit is. But it means to be sufficient to reduce the errors, and not to eliminate them at all, which would be indeed desirable. I tested the new RING.COM with single and double speed palmtops. The results were identical, hence the error mean value, as reported from RING, should be comparable for all palmtop-mobile experiments. I used the real time clock for measuring, no program loops.

Or does it keep happening? I used 100 ohm and the noise went away completely. Not one single error! Is this good or bad news? Indeed this resistor also disables receiving data through the IR port. This kind of test I can do easily, because I soldered 3 wires (to both photo diode legs and GND) and led them out through the (empty) backup battery case.

Won't take a 4-digit year. Date format has to be MM/DD/YY. It has a feature where you key in a "t" in the date field, and it will populate with the current date. I wonder what will happen if I key a "t" into it on New Years Day? I searched around on the net last night for quite a while looking for free/cheap time tracking programs. I tried out about 8 of them. But none of them seemed to work as smoothly (for me at least) as TimeStax. I also tried out the Timetracker/LX demo. The thing I didn't like about it was that if you stopped one task to work on an other, and then came back to the first, you have to re-enter another line for the first task again. Yuck. (Unless I'm misunderstanding it...certainly a possibility). With TimeStax you can simply hit a key to stop the timer on the first task, and start it on the second. Then stop it on the second task and go back and continue timing on the first again. Smooth. No extra entries. I think I understand why TT/LX does this. Some people want to know what time they started on each task. For me that's not important. I just need to accumulate a daily total for each task. At this point I'm thinking I'll probably stick with TimeStax into 2000, and just use year 1980 for my entries (assuming the program will even _run_ come 2000! ).

I use a macro which takes the email address from a phone book entry, opens up cc:Mail, and starts a new message to the person. Here is how my macro looks: {Enter}{Enter}{Alt+E}{Copy}{F9}n{cc:Mail}{F4}{Paste} Here's how it works: First you go to the desired item in the Phone book. {Enter}{Enter} opens up the selected record (it will work if the record is already open or if you are still on the Datacard/lookup screen). {Alt+E} goes to the email address field of the record. I use a customized phone book and Alt+E jumps to the email field. It would need to be changed to wherever email addresses are kept in your own phonebook. For example, if you kept email addresses in the "Company" field, you would use {Alt+P}. One caveat is that there cannot be anything else in the field containing the email address. {Copy} copies the address to the clipboard. {F9} exits the record and n answers no to the "Save Changes?" box. {cc:Mail} starts up cc:Mail or switches to it if already open. {F4} creates a new message. {Paste} pastes the address in the "To" field. Voila! Hope this is useful. J. P.

It has no timer, but you can use Fn-Time to insert your start and stop times. Basically, you enter Date, Time Start, Time Stop and Description. Within the sheet, it can handle: * A standard hourly rate * %age discounts from std rate for each entry * A no-charge column which lets you give the customer a "freeby", but records that the work was done. * Time idle within a block (e.g. I worked 10am to 2pm, but took 30 mins for lunch, so you don't have to make 2 or more split entries) * Invoiced yet, Y/N The sheet shows totals for: * Days & hours worked/discounted/total * To invoice/not yet invoiced/no charge work/grand total Of course, externally, as files, you can have a file per customer, or per project, or organise via directories, as you wish. Best of all, if it doesn't work the way you like, you can meddle with it! Anybody who wants a copy, e-mail me off-list (chris@amlog.demon.co.uk) and I'll send you it with some instructions.

Unfortunately, I seem to recall the CPack requiring EGA as minimum, which won't work with the Morphy One's CGA display. The ideal solution would be to use the System Manager and application code from the LX ROMs, but that's got next to no chance of happening from what I remember of previous discussions along those lines :-( Perhaps someone knows of a good System Manager clone out there that works under DOS and CGA? For me, the most important applications are the Phonebook and Application Manager; I imagine that you would need some sort of TSR solution for alarms on the Morphy One. -Mike Ýhttp://games.hplx.net¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 19:52:56 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Matthew W.

Fyi, there is an Arachne listserv available that will inform you of updates to the program. Send a message to listserv@arachne.cz with "subscribe arachne-announce", minus the quotes in the message body.

I rather doubt that. We sell software. Our customers do not buy a second license for their software when they get a second palmtop! I also see new names, primarily, not the same customers buying second and third license. Form my point of view, I think there is real growth in the 200LX arena, despite the fact that it is almost illogical, the machine being discontinued. This I believe comes from the increased awareness of the market in the inadequacy of the WinCE, and some discomfort with the paradigm in the other growth are, the PalmPilot. Avi M.

I agree it is _a_ solution in DOS, but I also think it is not a perfect solution, it has many shortcomings which we will not likely be able to fix. In the browsing, Pocket-MSIE (which does the browsing in the CE machines) is by far a better tool. It is not likely that the 200LX will have a better browser from us. The limitations are memory for program. Can't fix it with the current chip. If we move to a 486, we'll revisit the issues.

Comments: To: jason bugler Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The problem for most of us on the list is that our 100/200 LXs have llra also built-in, but we use it in conjunction with other software that's not on the 1000CX. Not to say that we couldn't make it work (as with the 1000CX), but I doubt that very people have tried, and so very few (if any) will know how to connect using laplink alone. The two most common file transfer programs for the desktop (Connectivity Pack and Transfile) require the 100/200LX Filer program, which is a special ".exm" executable requiring special loaders and runtime libs that I don't believe are on the 1000CX. Another method using LapLink (the llra programs), require copying some of the llraÝ1-4¨ files to the PC, but the palmtop is then set into server mode using yet another EXM (for LapLink Remote). We also transfer to the PC using standard communications packages (like Hyperterminal on Win95), while running DataComm on the LX (another EXM). So the suggestions others have made (using zip.com or copying via a borrowed flash-card and notebook computer) may be needed to help get you started, in the absence of any documentation on using llra that came with your 1000cx (our 200LX documentation only explains llra in terms of using it in conjunction with the EXMs I've already mentioned). If someone else on this list is fluent in "Laplink-ese" and its use in a pure DOS environment (ie, no EXMs), they may be able to help you.

If not, what software do I > use and how do I get it on the palmtop? LLRAÝ1-4¨ are a set of TSR programs which will let you connect your palmtop to another PC running the same software. The Hp200LX also has an EXM program which is basically a user interface for these programs but is not neccessary to run them. In order to run them you also need LLRAÝ1-4¨ on the PC to which you want to connect. There is a detailed explanation on how to set this up under (for example Windows 95) on the S.U.P.E.R. site (www.palmtop.net) under the section "Hacking with Jorgen", but once again you need to have the programs on your PC.

Maybe you remember the problems Tamas had with Design Soft when he tried to convince them to sell PaCi to us. But he did it - and I'm very thankful for that. Design Soft sold it only because of a promise that they got abt. 10 orders (I didn't remember the exact number). I don't know if they got all these orders, but I doubt it, because noone is reporting or asking about it on this list. So I now want to let you know my experiences with Palmtop Circuit. Maybe this helps some of you to decide if you want to buy it or not. First of all let me say, i never used PSpice or another circuit analysis program, so I'm not able to compare PaCi with one of these products. And: I have no relation to Design Soft, so I have no interest in advertising PaCi. The reason for that I'm writing this report is, that I remember the long discussions with Tamas Feher who contacted Design Soft to convince them to sell PaCi to us. I want to thank Tamas for his efforts, because I now find that PaCi is a really great software! About PaCi: PaCi is a software package (installed size about 800k-1M, depending on installation of sample files etc., cost 80 US$, if I remeber correctly, but for exact price please ask Tamas Feher, he is also a list member) that lets you design AND analyze electronic circuits with a high complexity. The manual says 'more than 100 nodes, depending on amount of RAM' - I didn't reach the limit by now... ;-). It's able to do DC, AC and transient analysis of linear and non-linear electronic networks. The look of the drawn circuits is not as good as probably of the newer PSpice products, but it does its job very well. The manual of PaCi is _extremly_ good - a short introduction, then follows an exercise by means of an example RLC-circuit, and after that, all the menu items (there are much!) are described. What's also worth to be mentioned is that the principles of the program are also described in the manual. You can read there about Laplace transformation, Fourier transformation, Fibonacci' search method, Gaussian elimination method for solving equation systems and much more. Now I'll tell a little bit about the work with PaCi: After you started PaCi, you see a screen that is similar to a drawing software. A grid, a menu and a status line. If you press '=', a list appears, where you can choose a component. Now you can move down with arrow keys or you can press the shortcut 'CA' to jump to the capacitor. Press enter, and the capacitor is shown on your work sheet. Now you can move, rotate and mirror it until you have it in the right position. Press enter. It is now fixed in its position and a window appears where you can set all parameters of the capacitor, including a label. Now you can press '=' again and insert the next component of your circuit and so on. If this is finished, you can connect all components with wires by pressing the space key. Now you can analyse the circuit. For example you can let PaCi draw the Bode diagram. You press Menu,A,A for menu/analysis/AC analysis and then move the cursor to 'Bode diagram'. After pressing enter, you have to enter a few parameters for the diagram: frequency range, number of points to be calculated. If you now click on 'Calculate', the diagram will be calculated (that takes about 5-30 secs, depending on how much has to be calculated) and displayed. You can print the diagram or export as HPGL file (this can also be done with the circuit itself, of course!). You can let show the Bode diagram for both amplitude and phase characteristics of the circuit. Of course, it's also possible to calculate the transfer function or time function of a circuit.

If you then press 'calculate', PaCi will show you a nice diagram looking like this: . .. .. .. .. ... ..... ....... where the x-axis shows the time and the y-axis shows the output voltage. (the diagrams PaCi draws are much prettier than my ASCII-drawings!) PaCi also has a built-in text editor which you can use to place text (own descriptions or functions created by PaCi) into the current graphic (circuit or diagram). Further features I didn'T use by now: - Optimization of parameters of a circuit: You can give special parameters the circuit has to have and PaCi can calculate the best values for components. - poles and zeros diagram for circuits - built-in interpreter: it allows to define arbitrary formulas and then draw them on the screen. In additin to the standard mathematical functions several auxiliary functions and access to the component parameters of the actual circuit are provided. I think I now have covered the most important features of PaCi. I have set up a few screenshots and further informations on my home page - you can have a look at them at http://daniel.hplx.net/palmtop.html . Sorry that I didn't use a screen capture program to make the shots - it was too much trouble for me to convert them into a format that also on windows browsers look like the screen of the LX. If you have further questions about PaCi, please contact Tamas Feher . I hope I didn't forget something inportant in this report. If I did, others who bought PaCi, please chime in here!

This doesn't really answer your question, it's just some of my recent experience. I started running DBCHECK after I'd been using my 200LX for over two years. It didn't find any problems ...at first. When I started having db problems I found I couldn't reliably go to a recent backup. While the backup checked ok it quickly became corrupted as I started using it. I can only assume my db had some serious problems that DBCHECK was not able to detect. I have sent the bad db to Curtis so it might help future improvements to DBCHECK. My solution was to 1. use dbcheck to dump the appt.adb contents to a readable file to give me any idea what I had collected. 2. I erased the appt.adb file so I could start over fresh. 3. using the txt dump of the old db I was able reenter most of the important stuff in the new db (and leave out a lot junk too). I'm guessing DBCHECK is really useful when you start running right away while a db is still relatively new. If, like me, you start on an older db, it could be broken in subtle ways that DBCHECK currently can't detect. I still backup my dbs using DBCHECK; it's our best tool and keeps getting better but it isn't perfect (yet). cheers...

BIS appears on the screen. After that: garbage letters and eventual disconnect from the ISP side. In the old days this used to happen when the parameters speed, parity, data bits and stop bits were not synchronized. So I tried all kinds of combinations - to no avail. I could not provoke the ISP computer to ask me in intelligible letters anything like "logon:" or "host:" or a password . So I studied the scripts for various ISPs on the DASOFT site. Responses to the CONNECT message are either a carriage return (s=3D\r) (Welchlink, CRIS) or waiting for a star in order to send what seems to be the host identification (s=3DC NSP\r) or a carriage return right after dialing to wait for "ogin" (NETCOM) or "name" (TELEPAC), or "in:" after CONNECT (MCS). I tried all that with varying parameters for speed, partiy, and data and stop bits. - No success. Soliciting help from the ISP was useless, - they know nothing but Windows icons - even counterproductive, as learning that I connnected with a DOS communication program made everybody panic. Their relatively most pertinent questions were, which processor my computer had (I had to confess to a 8086), and which version of DOS (DOS 5.0 seemed rather old to them, too). So I settled for connecting with Windows 95 on my desktop with their help to infer from there what would have to be done on the LX. That communication works (parameters: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit). Surprisingly, however, little could be learned from it, apart from the parameters. Bringing up the DOS window in Win 95 after dialing (in Dial up Networking clicking on the new connection, then properties / configure / options) showed that in Win95 the ISP modem sends garbage letters too (or my modem does not know how to interpret their data) so I cannot see what their modem is waiting for from my side. Could anybody give me any clues how to proceed ?

It will *probably* work at 10 MBPS. But the cost differential isn't that great, so "probably" may not be a good tradeoff. I always figured, a network is something you only want to install *once*... best spend a few extra bucks and do it high-class. In addition, what's the total length of the run around those corners, out the wall, etc? If you're getting close to the TP limit, you might want to consider 10base2 (thin Ethernet coax). You might have a bit more flexibility for not much more cost if you put a small hub at each end, with 10base2 coax between 'em. Then you can jack in "n" additional devices on either end without killing the network each time you change cables around or unplug something, plus you get the longer run length and the potentially higher noise immunity from the coax. Here's my setup at home, to give you an idea of how I approached it. In my office, I have an eight port hub. One 10baseT port talks to the main computer, a second to my development machine, the third to our main color printer. In my wife's office, there's a second eight port hub. One port goes to her main machine, a second to our laser printer, a third to the photo-realistic color printer she uses for her publishing business. Downstairs in the server closet, there's a third eight port hub. One port's for the basement server and router logger, a second's for the router connection that ties me to the outside world. Now, all three of those hubs are connected together with 10base2 coax, and those connections "never" get pulled off. So, I wind up with three or four additional connections ready to roll in each area, plus flashy lights to tell me when data's going where (which helps tremendously when troubleshooting). It costs a little more -- you can figure about $50 per hub for small ones if you shop around -- but I really think it's a superior approach in a lot of ways. Anyway, just food for thought. Rick P.S. While I'm on that subject, I guess I'll mention sort of as a full-disclosure disclaimer that I bought in bulk to get a good price on the 10base2 cable I needed to wire the house. So I have about 1,500 feet of the stuff (NON-plenum rated, btw) available if anybody needs to do a run. Anyone interested can give me a yell via email. P.P.S. On the "plenum-rated" thing: That's normally only an issue if you're running it through an air plenum; i.e., an active air duct. As I understand it, the idea is that, in the event of a building fire, you don't want PVC catching on fire and poisonous fumes being ducted into the area from which you're trying to escape. If you're running along a drop ceiling but *outside* of ducts, or down interior walls where there's no air flow, plenum-rated cable is, I am told, not required. Now, there is no reason NOT to use plenum-rated cable, ever; it's 110% safe everywhere. But it also costs significantly more. So, unless you have an explicit need for it, using plain old PVC-jacketed cable will save you some bucks. You'd want to check local codes to be sure, but I *believe* the above is the case pretty much everywhere (however, please apply the appropriately-sized grain of salt!) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 13:53:54 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andreas Garzotto Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: Log-in problem with new ISP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Winfried Zettelmeyer wrote: > trying to connect to a new ISP, my modem dials allright and > CONNECT 14400/REL-LAMP V42.

I guess he refers to the nonstandard 4 grayscale mode which LXPIC supports. This mode is achieved by setting up 640x200x2 CGA mode and then reprogrammning the graphics controller to frame rate shading mode, which is usually only supported by the 320x200x4 color modes. In these modes, you gain two colors, but you loose 50% precision in horizontal direction. This is, why fonts look really ugly in this LXPIC mode, which is no problem if you only display pictures, but will be a huge problem for mixed picture/text display. Hence I cannot recommend it for a graphics browser. To see what I mean, load a color (not b&w!) picture with LXPIC on the palmtop. Then press 'W'. The picture is displayed at a lower resolution with 4 grayscales. You may not notice the lower resolution because of dithering. If you now press 'F' to show the file info, the characters are almost unreadable, because they are also dithered by the hardware.

You may want to go back through your installation disks and see if you can update the driver. A few years back WP made newer printer resource files available on their web site. I don't know if they're still available. The only other option I know of is something like soft fonts. Trust me, you don't want to mess with this. I doubt it would even work on the 200LX.

There may be some old CAD style house layout programs that may work on the LX also (don't know any specifics tho).

Funny, interlnk/intersvr were my primary means of connectivity for a long time. I think I only gave up on it when my workplace set me up with a PC that I couldn't modify the boot to load interlnk. Intersvr on the PC was still possible, but a major pain. But for a plain and simple connect between the LX and a DOS PC, interlnk/intersvr could hardly be simpler, since one unit becomes a file server whose disk drives just show up on the "client" machine as additional drives (same as laplink, but easier and done in pure DOS). If your desktop PC is an NT, Win98 or Win95 machine there may be added problems using either laplink or interlnk.

At the desktop, you enter INTERSVR /COM1 /RCOPY (or something like that) which will cause the INTERSVR program to be transferred to the 1000CX. Once that has finished you can run Interlnk on the Desktop (in CONFIG.SYS) and Intersvr on the 1000CX and you will have a mapped drive on your desktop which is your 1000CX. You can then copy anything you want to the 1000CX using normal DOS commands. All this is a very distant memory so is probably wrong in some areas but you should get the idea. The MS-DOS help should give you the full details.

What you could do is to have "nomail" on the emailaccount. That means that you do not recevie any mail to your emailaddress, but you can post to the list. Then you use the Hplx newsserver to download the messages. If the problem with your isp happens again then you could (when you were up and going again) choose one of these solutions: 1. Download all messages that you have missed. (in the first case 376 messages) Not very smart. 2. Download only headers from the newsserver. Then you can choose the messages that are of interest. Maybe the smartest choice. This way you don't miss any messages of real interest. Its some work to go through in your case 376 headers.. 3. Download only the last 50 or so messages from the server and mark the rest read.. I download headers from the newsserver and choose the ones I want..(many times all the messages are of interest :-) I download headers from many other newsgroups and I also filter them. This has reduced the time I spend reading messages because I only download what interests me. Example:in the comp.palmtops newsgroup I choose to not download anything about CE devices.

Certainly copying ROM code and re-selling it would violate copyrights. But would actually *using* the ROM from one machine I have in another violate them? Even copying it into a different package ROM might not, if I subsequently destroyed or shelved the original. Seems like I've heard of people performing similar shennanigans with older Atari and Commodore systems, which have BASIC and OS in ROM. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I'm not sure if = Calmira > (or Win 3.1, for that matter) supports CGA or not, but.. I don't think Win 3.1 will run because I don't think that it can work with a CGA display. Even if it could, I doubt that many Win 3.1 apps would co-operate with CGA in any case. For example, Calmira needs VGA. I'm willing to bet, however, that should the Morphy One make it over from Japan to the rest of the world (please don't forget Europe!!!), Windows 3.0 will be a popular (if controversial!) choice. It is definitely CGA compatible, and even runs on the 100/200 LXs, albeit *very* slowly. The best thing about it is the amount of apps that have been written for it. The problem is that not all will work with CGA, and then there's the issue of finding them... For me - and I don't want to sound horribly negative about a machine that is still only in its prototype stages - the main limitation of the Morphy One as it stands is the CGA display. I suppose that the major problem with making a VGA display that small is not so much the actual technology aspect, but the fact that you'd need to carry a magnifying glass around with the machine! Still, there's always the Morphy Two to look forward to... As far as replacing the 100/200 LX built-in apps, I'm not that concerned. As Mack pointed out, you will still be able to run the PAL apps, DOS has had its fair share of programs written for it, and there are of course plenty of talented palmtop programmers out there! :-) It just struck me as a shame that the LX apps, which I consider to be excellent, probably won't be available. As a side note, I wonder what HP are making of the Microsoft situation. There is a real prospect of them being brought down to Earth with a hefty enough bump for the already-struggling Windows CE to be seriously damaged, possibly even abandoned or pensioned off to a future "Nanosoft" offspring company. I wouldn't mind betting that the Morphy One has a brighter future than the Journada range. -Mike Ýhttp://games.hplx.net¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 16:17:01 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: WP 5.1 Fonts Comments: To: zimm4@JUNO.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit You need to change your printer driver.

So, the circuitry attached to that LED is the ONLY cause of this problem. That's GOOD news, if we'd still had a problem, it'd be a real problem, this should simplify things. I'd suspect that when I trace from there, this info will really help me Stefan, Is the photo diode you're removed, the smaller 'black' one, or the larger 'clear' one there? (If it's the smaller 'black' one, I think I see what to fix to probably SOLVE this, need to get some measurements & make sure. If it's the smaller 'T1' diode, unsolder, fit a ferrite bead, re-solder, perhaps adding a capacitor, and we should see an improvement Glad I suggested that resistor test. If it's the larger diode, need to figure another way.) > best regards, > > Werner Mark -- I do small package shipping for small businesses, world-wide. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 13 Nov 1999 01:30:22 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mark Willis Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Willis Organization: Occasionally happens here.

It's impossible to find WP51 graphics drivers for (all?) newer graphics cards. It used to be standard for graphics cards to come with such a driver, but alas no more (sniff...) So, does anyone know if there is a VESA graphics driver for WP51? VESA is available on pretty much all newer cards.

On the other hand I did not install it on WP5.1 either, because none of my fax devices was recognized by the installation program. There are other options not available on Word, especially mathematic editoring, also desktop publishing features are better on WP.

A macro works great for sending items to and fro as before. The macro for moving items from memo (to do and note) to today's to do works like this. You highlight all the text. It takes the text from memo into an appointment book note, the top line of the note is then pulled into the to do field. This gives a to today do item with its note. To my mind, the benefits of the 3rd method are as follows:- You have a truly separate "to do today" and master list. I like to just look in any one day what I have to do on that day. This way, your daily to do list doesn't get drowned by a nearby list of master items. You can search within memo but you can't search within individual notes in appointment book. No accidental chance of hitting f4 and deleting your entire master to do list note in method 1. (You can get round this in method 1 by doing regular "save as" backups of the note of course). Faster loading and saving. Headings stand out in memo with bold and underline. You can add new to do headings (like categories) in memo on the fly. You can do same in the note in method 1 but trying to add new headings to the master to do list in method 2 I find a hassle. Easy to print your master list of to do's from memo etc. etc. I use method 3 and I use Info Select from Micro Logic for random info capture and retrieval from the myriad of e-mails, phone calls and faxes I get. I have toyed on and off with Lotus Agenda but never really stuck with it. I'd like to explore PIM/PE when I get more time. Tried it once but never got going with it. I hope these methods stimulate some thought.

It didn't work before, but with kbuf128, it works fine. Here's the line: .wk1 ,t ,$m {xbc00}/fr{Esc}{Esc}%p%c{Enter} With this you can highlight the WK1 and hit ÝShift¨ÝEnter¨ and it'll open in 123. If you prefer to use ÝEnter¨, add the below instead of the one above: .wk1 ,t ,$m {xbc00}/fr{Esc}{Esc}%p%c{Enter} Note the change of "t" after the fist comma to an "f".

When MS updated their DUN and Win95, they "invented" CHAP again, and called it MSCHAP. It is nearly identical to CHAP.

I think you can go back to the original line and update its termination time. But it uses two out of three parameters to calculate the third: Start time, end time, duration. So if you enter start and end times, it calculates duration from those two. If you return to the prev. entry and update the end time, then you can get a heck of a lot more billed time :) ,but it is not exactly honest to do. There is also a way to override durations by adding a string like this "##2:30" (w/o the quotes) in the Memo field. This will use the duration specified, regardless of the duration indicated by the start/end times. Not as comfortable perhaps as other products, but it is there. (Check out the docs for TT/LX). Oh, BTW, TimeTracker/LX is Y2K compliant to the extent that the paltop is, we use the date from the palmtop. Avi M.

The garbage characters are probably packets for login. Almost 95% (maybe more) of ISPs worldwide use CHAP as the login protocol. The Windows default, built-in login protocol is CHAP (actually a Microsoft version of it, MSCHAP), and that makes life for ISPs easier - they need to know even less than they knew before, hence the spotty support :) ... The CHAP script built into WWW/LX Plus CFG file should not be modified. If you modified it, send email to D&A Support, they will send back to you a good copy. You can also restore the script by renaming WWW.CFG to WWWOLD.CFG, then run WWWSETUP.EXE, make one fake setup and then save it all.

I would like to do it (appointments from Outlook to the LX), but it's more difficult than the other conversions that OL2LX does. Mack Baggette has modified the GDBIO DOS programs, making them into a DLL to get data into and out of an LX PDB/GDB file. He also adapted some other code into it to convert into and out of ADB files, but this part is not finished yet. =46or one, right now ToDo items in the LX are not indicated as having been completed when data is exported, so that's why Outlook will show imported Tasks as un-checked. This is a small fix I'm sure. But the big challenge IMHO will be creating a working ADB file. If you've followed any threads about corrupted files, you might have picked up on the fact that ADB files have the most corruption problems, because the items in a file are all linked together in complex ways. Anything goes wrong and you'll see "Record Not Found". So I've asked Mack to make some changes in the DLL, but he's a busy man too. And I expect that figuring out how to correctly write an ADB file will take some time. --=20 Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Nov 1999 00:29:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , schittke@RZ.FH-AUGSBURG.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars Hedstroem Subject: Re: Unsubscribe + WorldWar3 Comments: To: schittke@RZ.FH-AUGSBURG.DE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Schittke wrote: > Though I do hope that you were just kidding there are some things on earth that should be excepted from that.

I use postLX to download mail. I have set it to delete messages as they are downloaded. This worked on the email server I used to use. Unfortunately this server is no longer available. The other two email servers I have access to have a minor problem. The delete command for each email is only applied on the server when the very last email is downloaded. This means that if the palmtop times out during downloading my 300 a day emails, I get all of the already downloaded messages again! The funny thing here is that this does not affect MS Outlook. It does not read them again. Is there any setting I have overlooked to fix this. Sometimes I have to race off in the middle of downloading emails, and this was not a problem before, I could disconnect, and start from where I was again on the next online run.

All I can suggest is if your server times out and a second run starts re-downloading full messages, save time by interrupting the run and changing to header download. If your server times out regularly, well, I would try and fix that. > The funny thing here is that this does not affect MS Outlook. Does the server not time out for Outlook?

Hi Avi - Hmmm - there seems to be one problem with that. The web uses the ISO Latin 1 character set, and the .hfn fonts seem to use codepage 850 Multilingual (Latin I). The codes above 127 are different, and I guess HV translates the Latin 1 codes into CP850 codes to use the fonts. Looking in my 200LX manual, I see that the palmtop's CP850 doesn't have the "typographer's quotes" at all... Strangely, EVP (a desktop publishing program I use on the palmtop) also uses CP850, and it does have the missing characters. The quotes are 177 and 178 in EVP (147 and 148 in Latin 1). Any ideas? Thanks. BTW - what version of PFE do you have? I had problems with V1 but a later one (v1.2 - I think) works fine.

We did it with the help of this list (distributed intelligence) and by accident. After it was clear, that a short circuit between the photo diodes contacts suppresses all errors, (thanks Mark!) I was very enthusiastic again. Daniel Hertrich designed a low pass filter and asked me, if I could implement it in my test machine and see if it works. But I made a double error in implementing his solution. Boy, you can make even more than two errors in soldering together a capacitor and a resistor if you are new to the business ;-) But what shall I say, my errors worked. An analysis showed, that in fact I only connected one leg of the photo diode to ground. All my other soldering had no effect. And that is the solution. Sorry to say, but it doesn't work with every palmtop. We tested six, and four did work, two don't. We also don't know yet, if the solution could harm the palmtop. I'm sending my test machine to Daniel, and he will do further investigations. This little improvement of the palmtop should keep it alive in the years to come with the increasing number of mobile phones with built in IR modems. No need to switch to a Palm or WinCE for this reason. Thanks again to everybody who was involved into this thread. You were a great help and motivation in solving this problem. I am amazed by the unselfish worldwide cooperation. Special thanks go to David Sargeant. Without his detailed explanation on how to take a palmtop into pieces, I would not have been able to do all these tests. Now if we only knew why it works, we could come up with a general solution.

You were dead right, the "garbage" turned out to be a CHAP script and the new connection worked on the first try ! BTW, not surprisingly, the solution is also hinted at in the WWLX manual of 03-14-99 (chapter 4.6: "...exchange of information does not depend on prompts."). Again ! The only problem left is switching between the ISPs setup in WWW.CFG. Telephone number and login name can be changed and looked at with SHIFT F5 and CTRL F5 respectively. However, the smtp and pop3 server names for the ISP do not change with F5 and I have to do the changes manually via EXTERNALS/SETUP/F4. Did I miss something again ? Posthelp.txt (POST/LX2.0), in its chapter on "Using multiple ISPs", deals with downloading and uploading through multiple ISPs from/to the SAME MAILBOX situated at one of the ISPs, but not with multiple ISPs and the respective multiple mailboxes. (BTW, that chapter mentions a "mailbox section for CIS in POST.CFG" and a "mailbox section for SOL (in POST.CFG)": I only see one general ÝMail¨ section with parameters for one ISP. Different sections for each ISP I find only in WWW.CFG, at the end ("data added by WWWSETUP"), without mentioning smtp and pop3, however. Is it correct that different smtp/pop3 server names have to be entered manually every time ? I would not be surprised if I got it totally wrong. Thanks for a hint !

If you have shell access (unix only) to the mail server you could telnet to the mail server or whatever server your mail is placed, then use mutt to open the mailbox, mutt will usually save any "broken" mail boxes. To use telnet in windows go to 'start' then 'run' and type in "telnet the.ip.address.lalala". For linux/unix you already know. Tech support should be able to tell you all the info you need to access your mailbox IF they have half a brain. If they don't run unix for their mail server then disregard this message. I have opened .mailboxes close to 500mb with mutt.

You might try (with limitations) using Ctrl-Del while pointing to that mailbox. _I THINK_ is will find a list of the ones downloaded and make them into a "delete list" and then delete them when you next log on. (I don't know if it does this if it is configured to delete as they are read???)

Take time to talk and a dictaphone with you. :-) There are lots of good stories about, if one likes a good story. There is one strange phenomena though, everybody ends up on the 'right' side afterwards... No offence to anybody, but I have met only one old man who ever defended the 'wrong' side of WWII. He had his reasons, and I believe they are still valid today, seen isolated from other peoples tribulations. In today's world I think that no country or group of people, ethnic or otherwise, can safely say that they or their forefathers have a clean warrant. We all have blood on our hands. The clue I think is to make sure our children understand the mechanisms that control us. We should not accuse or lay the blame on a new generation, who have or may even have benefited, but remember the doings of the old. The problem therein is that we use the same generic term for both old and new generations in describing events. This breeds contempt on one side, repressed anger and guilt on the other. But maybe one needs a good rooting out now and again of the general population, or a common threat to consolidate ranks? One can wonder. I am banking on multi-resistent bacteria, maybe TB, being the next scourge in the western world, even though there are few cases so far. Have a nice day!

I can of course download the message as normal. But when I choose to download headers(by "only I mean the headers and not the whole message) I can choose either to delete the messages I don't download or leave them at the server. This is what I do: I download headers. Then I go through the mailbox and choose the messages I want to download (on next run) Then I go at the bottom of the mailbox and press down and I can then choose if I want to delete the headers locally in the box or if I want to delete the messages from the server too.. I can also delete the headers locally and leave the messages at the isp's. If I choose to just to delete the headers locally then the messages I don't download are left on the server. This is not a good idea because the mailboxspace are limited. But sometimes I use this option to leave certain messages on the server to download later because of eiter limited time or limited bandwidth (ex. when using my Nokia 7110 soon:-) If you choose to delete the headers in you local box by accident and at a later time you want to download the message or the header again, you then have to delete the .old file in the www/lx directory.

Is it really suppose to be like this? Nope. Funny, when WWW/LX 2 first came out I liked the folder section GUI better than 1.1... Matter of taste, I guess. As for writing an email - I thought you used Memo (the loooooong lines look like it 8-) ), so writing should depend on Memo settings. If you're reading = email and the text is too small and in a little rectangle, hit Zoom (Fn-Space) to change fonts. I have Post/LX set up to include a proportional font that's easier on my aging eyeballs. I'm sending this via Post/LX 2.2d with PE for the editor.

As you certainly know, there are some problems in the list which contribute to this decision. I agree with him. Some of the issues: - religious, non-palmtop, and political posts (an exception is a thread on usage of a program with religious content, but the thread is great!) - relatively empty posts - many words, almost no content - "cute" spellings which wastes the time of those of us who are not familiar with American English. It also seems to diminish the level of discussion to kid-talk, or comic-talk. - long signature lines. I now use one myself after too many uncomfortable threads which soured my experience here. These items increase the noise to content ratio. Andreas had to spend money to download (lives where you do) and time to read through messages with a high noise- to- content ratio. The experience was disappointing. It is therefore his preference that he utilizes his time in a way that adds the best value. I agree with him, and I am sure you and all the other people who get to use the fruit of his great programming skills, agree too. Hanging out in the list is not a good value for his time. I continue to hang out here, although almost never formally. I will pass along to him messages of particular interest. I tend to read very rapidly (an old and rustly graduate of Evelyn Wood speed reading course - would love to lay hands on a program to refresh myself! :-) ...) and only stop on some items, and so I can make quick scans. But frankly, sometimes, my internal groaning is loud! :-( I do not know if anything can be done to fix it. It really is up to each of us who posts to choose what and how we post. Most of the people who post here I like and feel a lot in common with. So it is still interesting to me to read here. As to your panic, well - sorry.

Since you're running the demo version, it has a limit of IIRC 16K of data before it quits. Maybe the pages you're trying to access are larger. If that's the problem, it'll go away with the registered version. Of course there are some HV-hostile pages out there that are impossible (certainly not 80%, though).

I've personally benefitted so many times over - and just wish I could contribute even a fraction of what I've received. Today there are so many list options.

Hmmm - maybe that isn't the problem. But I think the 16K limit includes the login handshaking as well as the page size. > (BTW.your two latest emails have come in to the list doubled) Sorry about that. Happens when I just hit "Reply". Both your address and the list address are automatically put in the "To" box. You should only get one of this. > What you are suggesting now with Maxdos,is this a better solution than > only change in the config.sys file? I mean that I will be able to > download much bigger pages with Maxdos than without? MaxDOS swaps the System Manager environment to a large disk file or to EMS. It gives you a large DOS space. If the problem is memory related, it should help. > And if I install Maxdos do I have to use PE then? As we have discussed > earlier you get problems with long lines when answering and I am not = sure > I want that. You don't have to use PE, but it's a great editor. You can install any DOS editor you like. Memo won't work in a MaxDOS session because the System Manager is swapped out. The long line problem only happens when responding to messages composed in Memo. No problem otherwise. > I also tried to press Fn+zoom in that rectangle you write in when > composing an email but nothing happened.I suppose this rectangle is > possible to expand,as they are in databases,cause otherwise you will > write in blindness not seeing the text more than one line. OK - I misunderstood about the little rectangle. As Jeff said, just hit Enter when the highlight is there, and you start your editor. I thought your problem was trying to read with the tiny 6x8 font.

Face it: any mailing list will go to different stages of relevance during any given year. Some people want not only technically-related communications, but human ones as well -- and they want to do it with people they feel they relate to. A technical mailing-list can be a group of such people. Email programs are great tools to limit the noise of any given mailing list. Some people are *very* touchy about spikes in noise in a mailing list and often feel the need to add to the noise by asking everyone to quiet down or end up going into hiding. It only works temporarily. Get over it.

So, I first made a backup copy of phone.pdb, then loaded the original phone.pdb into the database application. I selected "Modify Database", then went to the FAX field and changed the label to "Cell", then pressed "Done". I noticed that the DataCard's field did not reflect this change, and I couldn't figure out how to edit it. Then when I tried to open the modified database with PhoneBook, I got the message: "Error Cannot open file". I then overwrote the newer database file with my backup copy, but I got the same error message. I ran Curtis Cameron's latest dbcheck program against the original file but it didn't find anything wrong with the file. Somehow - sorry, I can't remember exactly what I did - I eventually got both the Database and the PhoneBook applications to successfully open the original file. What is going on here that prevents these database programs from loading seemingly sound database files? And how can you modify the DataCard's fields? I'd certainly appreciate any help I can get on these matters.

The exposition's name was 'Forgotten Victims'. My work was to organize a press meeting and to inform the local newspapers and radio stations. The exposition was about people in Germany who didn't greet "Heil Hitler" and ended up in the KZ's (Nazi camps). I spoke with an old jewish man who had a number tatooed on his arm from Auschwitz. He came into the KZ, because he was a Jew. In the KZ he saw, that there was another KZ inside of the KZ. Those people not greeting "Heil Hitler" were there, because they didn't go to the war, didn't work in the war industry and didn't go to the elections. It was not allowed to speak with them. He later became one of them inside of the KZ. I organized this press meeting with my LX. It was not an easy work, because a lot of people don't feel responsible about this story. What you said: "We all have blood on our hands" is not true, after I learned the story of these peoples. They died, because they didn't want to get blood on their hands. A lot of people don't want to accept them as victims, especially because they were Jehovah's Witnesses. I used my LX with Project (PJT) and the ApptBook for the press meeting and the press releases during the exposition.

The idiotic (your words) reason for the little window is that when you press Enter while highlighting it, Post/LX will start the editor you specified. If you do not see this happen, then it is probably because you ran out of memory. Jeff gave you some hints on how to solve this.

As happened before, the whole government e-mail system had been reorganised with new user names and domain addresses, etc. and I have found out after the change was effected.

I have had to resubscribe under my new address but cannot automatically unsubscribe my old address . Between you and me and various others here, the new address system seems more cumbersome, but as I have been given the privilege of a listing in the government system (while technically a part-time volunteer), I am in no position to complain!

Honestly, if improvements such as multiple, = resizable windows will not be a future option, along with the ability to write = scripts for the client are not implemented, I would be hard pressed to spend $25 = for it. This is just my opinion and other users may have other ideas and opinions. There is a program called VIPER that performs basically all of = the same functions of IRC/LX but uses the WATTCP stack. The author never finished the software and never finished the /dcc portion of it. It is available at http://www.agate.net/~tvdog IIRC.

While supposedly these companies offer all kinds of technology and data transfer and at the same time the various voice prompts through a complete monkeywrench into attempting automated dialing. Sometimes it is just a matter of ignoring those various voice prompts and having the modem continue to dial but you may need to tweak the timing using commas and other delays to work around what tones are expected and when. And that problem means experimenting, sometimes at a high cost depending on where you are located. I think that is why so many people want to use their own cell phones.

Longden explained that launching is not really an issue, although you may need MaxDos for some applications (app). If apps are System Manager compliant, that means they can be included in task switching. In other words, you can have the app open and switch to a SysMan app (e.g., PhoneBook) and back again without having to start or close either app. Ted -- Theodore Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 11:23:05 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Filer backup Comments: To: Jeff Johns Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >So, Filer's backup is basically an automated xcopy. >I sure wish that xcopy would copy hidden files.... The xcopy in Win95 has a /H option for copying hidden and system files. I know this option isn't in DOS 5 nor 6.22. The xcopy in Win95 (windows/command/xcopy) seems to come in two pieces; xcopy.exe and xcopy32.exe. The former is 3,878 bytes and the latter is 41,472 bytes compared to 11,184 for the one in d:\dos on the LX. My guess is that the Win95 xcopy.exe just acts as a front for xcopy32.exe. Don't know how well the Win95 version runs (if at all ... or if advised) on the LX. There are also a variety of enhanced xcopy clones on Simtel, tho I haven't tried any. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 11:32:53 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Fryday Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Fryday Subject: Re: Remote connection with Filer and a modem?

No. System Manager compliant programs are the built-in apps and programs with the .exm extension. They can be task-swapped using SysMgr. They can't be run from raw DOS without the SysMgr. Regular DOS (.com and .exe) programs aren't SysMgr compliant, but can be launched from the AppMgr screen. But only one DOS prog can be started. You can frequently run into memory limits using DOS progs, but that can be solved by either terminating SysMgr or by using MaxDOS. MaxDOS is a much better choice, because you can start your large DOS apps from an icon. > OK,and if you don't have patience with my questions you don't have > to answer them. No problem...

The suggestion I would make to you is to fire up HV and try to access the Webpages you think you will want to access while travelling. The Web is moving to more and more what Peniel (I believe) termed aptly "HV-Hostile" documents. This means that more and more of the Web is NOT compliant with HTML 3.2, i.e. HV may not be able to "paint" it. Also, more andm ore Javascript is used - HV cannot do anything with this. More and more Java is on the screens, HV can't do anything with this. And then there are many other "doodads" being invented daily. I am trying - hard - to lower your expectations, waaaaaaay down, so when you see stuff not being painted you won't be disappointed. :-) Enjoy. Avi M.

Just to clarify, this isn't a DOS emulator that you can run DOS programs with; it's a command prompt for WinCE, basically.

How does it work?? I had never noticed that Memo offers encryption, but I just looked, and it sure does. It's only available for non-ASCII files. I'm very familiar with the encryption scheme for .?DB files, and I'm sure it's something similar with these DOC files, but I wasn't able to figure it out in the time I looked at it.

However, it certainly wouldn't withstand a sustained attack. PE also offers a form of encryption, but I prefer PGP. Although it is crackable, I figure the 1024 bit key I use will stop at least the average hacker. This is what somewhat worries me about using IRC/LX or for that matter = any other IRC client. You can really make yourself vulnerable by logging onto = an IRC server. Here lately I have been using ssh to telnet to a very unimportant shell account that I have and then run ircII from there. I am really fascinated by encryption matters and am quite curious about = the encryption provided by Memo.

The undelete is in the Edit Menu. Yes I could do that. But if you have ended post/lx and rerun post/lx and then realizes that you need the messages downloaded again.. You can't use the undelete function when you have rerun post/lx, you then have to shell to dos. I got a email from Andreas about this, he will maybe implement it in the next version of Post/lx.

GP recognises this and pops up a continue prompt. At the right time, you hit Y and the next set of numbers is dialed. The voice prompts ARE a pain in the butt though, especially when SOME parts ignore the tones, and other parts can be interrupted. I just bought a WalMart/AT&T card. Takes 4 popup prompts, and if you hit Y during either of their "thank you for shopping at WalMart, blah blah blah" segments they go right on yacking... In fact, when you DO get through the entire sequence, you STILL have to wait through more talk before they put the call through. Ugh.

I agree somehwat. But if you are not "into" the hplx, you could go for the 9110. It is very light compared to a Hp700/2110 combo. I compared them in size and weight.

No dos application. I have a friend who has (had, got stolen I heard today) a 9110. It runs GEOS, so there is a fair amount of software to try, and there is some amount of SW portability between GEOS implementations. Database, text, paint, cad, etc. One can run GEOS in a window on a W95/98 pc too. It syncs with Outlook. I think GEOS is a smart, lightweight system. The limiting factor is the phone. No CF slot or standard serial port! Stupid. Otherwise it is a 386(486?) based hardware design which is good. GEOS should really be able to compete in the GUI world, it has a lot of modern day OS design from what I read about it. I'm a non-programmer, so take the last with a pinch of salt and check yourself. If this Morphy One ever got realised then GEOS would be great on it. Linux is ok, but for the masses... The internal apps work ok for my friend who is a tech support guy with a lot of stuff going on outside work. He had a PalmPilot, but ditched that for the Nokia. It meant one thing less to carry. Basically PIM stuff. We tried VNC on it, at long last he managed to get it going and was controlling his work wintel pc with the 9110! Gives one a rush to see the Start button on a 9110... :-) But no CF-slot! What a lame descision. That removed it completely from the database oriented market. Now it's just a simple PIM telephone. And the cable has level converters for RS-232. Pity. I don't like the design of the top part of the phone though, I would prefer it to be straight. It looks silly now. Marketing folks had a go at it, I suppose. But the LX is a small computer, so it really has no competition from the 9110. Now if it had a CF-slot and standard serial port, DS-upradebility, internal RAM upgrades etc, then that would be a different matter! www.newdealinc.com for GEOS. br Franklin (Who ran GEOS on a C64 in the old days...) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 07:31:40 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , al chin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: al chin Subject: Re: Fluff Comments: To: Ashwin Balan MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii welcomme back Remember me?

If you ever find a good solution to getting data in your NT clipboard, let us know, as that would be useful for me also. As it is, most applications on the LX will export to a text file, so I usually write PC-bound text to the same scratch file everytime (ie, c:\a.txt), upload to the same PC file each time (using Cpack or Transfile), then open it with Notepad and grab the text from there into the Clipboard.

It actually works either way. Unchecking the "Modified files only" just ensures that ALL files are copied, and it wasn't clear from your original post what your exact intent was for backup. Copying all files is a FULL backup, whereas copying just modified files is an INCREMENTAL backup. In either case, (Modified box checked or unchecked), it worked for me. All files in my source drive (ie, C:\) that had its archive bit set (which can be verified in DOS using "dir /aa") were copied, even those in subdirectories (with the exception of hidden files, as noted earlier by Jeff). Perhaps you can verify (using xtreegold or "dir /aa") whether the file(s) in question that aren't being copied, do in fact have that archive bit turned on. - Longden (a fellow clumsy lump of biotechnology) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 19:32:35 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Reinhard Mueller Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Reinhard Mueller Subject: Re: PAL Library Developement!

But I have confidence that the distributed intelligence here can answer a question about serial ports. The MacLink server application for the palmtop (mlphp.exe) connects properly when launched from Filer on a 100LX or on a 200LX. It also connects properly when launched from AppMgr on a 100LX, but fails and eventually times out when launched from AppMgr on a 200LX. I assumed that AppMgr in the 200LX might be forcing the serial port off, but it still fails when launched from AppMgr via this batch file: d:\bin\serctl /w a:\maclink\mlphp.exe d:\bin\serctl /o It also fails on a 200LX when launched from X-Finder. It seems that something in this setup must have changed in the time between the 100LX and the 200LX. Any ideas what this change might be, and how I might work around it?

Hi Cri, I've had the same play in my left hinge. It's sort of bothered me too, so I just slid a piece of tape in the gap. Same result, the play is gone. I'll see how it goes--suppose the tape could slip into the hinge and cause problems, but I think it'll be OK. Thanks for the idea!

No, they do, but suffer sort of like the 95LX, the screen is not a standard 80x25. So one had to scroll to see the whole screen. There is a little something that forces the Omnigo to boot just to DOS. But then one lost the pen and power control. Don't know if that was ever solved.

With the custom short cable it is very handy. It uses a 9v battery. The serial port can't do much more than 14.4 with the 8250 UART & communication overhead even with a double speed unit, so buying a faster unit is unnessary. The PCMCIA port on the DS unit is a different story. It seems to be able to handle 22,000 to 25,000 baud so a 33.6 card modem would be optimal. The Apex Data 33.6 #011-20641 works great for me as it draws only about 137ma.

FreeDos on the HP? The problem on the LX is that the DOS 5.0 kernel is loaded from ROM, and from there it loads the autoexec.bat and config.sys. Similar to if the boot record of a boot disk were implanted in ROM. Hence there are limitations to what it can load, and I don't believe anyone has been successful in loading and running a DOS 6.x on the LX, let alone a non-MS version. Loaders do apparently exist that would allow Minix (a small Unix implementation) with limitations, but I don't know how applicable that loader would be in regards to another DOS version (a Mack or David question perhaps). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Nov 1999 17:20:38 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: Strange error message when sending email withh post/lx MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On 17 Nov 1999 08:36:21 -0800, Lars Hedstroem wrote: > Martin wrote: > > "Andreas replied offlist.

I was browsing the web, and my screen started to get lighter and lighter, and then dissappeared. I thought the heat sensor was just doing its thing, but when my display finally went out, I could not get the LX to turn back on. I replaced the batteries, both main and backup, and even tried another power supply, but nothing. I called HP, they tried some key strokes, but had me send it back to them for replacement, under my extended contract. Lucky that I bought the contract. So I ended up selling the modem, and now use one that I know draws less than 150 ma. So be carefull not to ruin your LX like I did.

As far as I know, the hplx can only boot from the d: drive (from the ROM). So you can only boot the built-in MS-DOS 5.0. This has nothing to do with the autoexec.bat or config.sys which can be on the C: drive (don't know about A:).

It might be a paying option, but for LX users who are on the road a lot,
it might be a nice way to get your mail via either web or on the palmtop.

Hi All, I've been viewing the conversation about the Nokia 9110 Communicator with some interest. I've got a few questions about it: 1. Can anyone verify that it can actually run a small DOS program? 2. Does it have a small keyboard? 3. How much memory does it have? 4. Does it surf the web? If questions 1,2 and 4 are "yes"s and it has enough memory and DOS programs and initial data files could be downloaded from the internet with the Nokia 9110, then some DOS programs might be able to be run on the Nokia 9110. If so, that would hold some interest for me. An entirely different thought: I have the original GEOS disks somewhere that I got with a 286 laptop computer many years ago. I wonder if it would be worth my while to start looking for them. Could the HP200LX possibly run an early version of GEOS? Cheers!

I'll go check it out. Email digest users are not really intimately familar with that site and all that it contains. Hopefully it offers the particular one day archive for download that I'm looking for, since it would next to impossible to identify all of the posts that I'm missing (and have never seen) from one giant November archive. I also don't do much live on the internet either since I can usually read email digests while offline. That's why I requested that a digest subscriber please cut and paste one particular archive into a private email to me. Cheers!

It is much better for me to Steve, Let me guess that the flood of individual posts overwhelms your email inbox and that is why you want to contain the hplx-l list into a single digest. If I'm right then there is an alternate way to handle the list but keep it as individual posts. What you do is set up www/lx to filter the incoming emails; when it sees hplx-l stuff it puts those into a separate folder instead of your normal email inbox. I've recently done this and it works VERY well and no separate tools are needed. Let me know if you want more info. cheers...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There are some stories of little cities in the states, where telephone costs are as cheap that they can start their connection early in the morning and shut it down before they go to bed.

The program takes a digest file, extracts the subjects of each message = and presents them to you in a scrollable list at the top of the screen. Moving from subject to subject changes the displayed message in the = remainder of the screen. Copyrighted freeware. Details are in the archive on a commercial version that will append = selected messages to POST/LX mailboxes. HTH Regards, Qman...

The peak time is 6:00 A - 10:00 P. I also pay an additional $9.99 a month to get unlimited weekend usage. For $14.95 a month extra I could get unlimited evening & weekends, but because I start work at 6:00 A, I usually am in bed just after 10:00 P, so the evening plan would not do me any good. There are also many different pre-paid plans available from many different cell providers. My brother pays like $130.00 a month for 1500 minutes a month. People that usually do this only now have a cell phone, and no landline where ever they hang their hat. The latest wave is the pre-paid packages that cover not only your local calls, but also your long distance minutes, in the continental U.S.. More and more people are just starting to attempt to eliminate their home phones, and replace them with one phone. Me personally, I don't have intentions on doing this. I like having both.

Yahoo provides POP3 and SMTP server access IF you chose to let them send you their offers spam. I suppose you could open an account, and never d/l their spam, just use their SMTP. For Steve's question: He still has a problem: He needs to connect to some ISP in order to either get to Yahoo for Web-based email or to access the POP3/SMTP of Yahoo (or any other ISP, for that matter!) If I understood right, his issue is that connecting to ISPs is expensive. He would like to use post/ to somehow connect to Yahoo (which is not an ISP - and so it will not be possible) and get his email. Problem is - Yahoo is not an ISP. So there is no login servers to connect to. The alternative is to somehow connect the Palmtop to whatever connection he has at work, at an internet cafe, and then do his access to email, but I am afraid I cannot even begin to think how to help in this.

If you take up one of the free email accounts, you quickly find that mostly they will let you have a free POP3 account to _receive_ email. You then read it on the Web. Some, like Yahoo, will provide access to the POP3 account from another server - i.e. you login to your IBM, and Post/LX will also visit the Yahoo POP3. Yahoo, and others, will also provide you with access to SMTP server to send email _out_. So now you can use the hpne number of your IBM account, let Post/LX visit your IBM email account, and then visit your Yahoo email account, and get your email. You could even send email _out_ using the Yahoo SMTP mailbox, much like you do with the IBM SMTP server. In the case of Steve Soper, he wanted to use something to bypass logging into an ISP, and the cost that goes along with this. I am afraind it is tough to find. Here are his options: 1. Get a Yahoo account (or any other free account) and only use Web-based email. This means he will have to use some Web terminal at work, or at a friend's house, or Internet Cafe. Pro: Cheap - cost is basically zero. Con: Not exactly private, you have to find _some_ machine somewhere connected to the Web. You are tethered to a terminal to read and reply to email. 2. Get a Yahoo account (or another similar freebie) and signup for the ads, so he can use their POP3 and SMTP servers. To access these, he will HAVE to have some local connection to the web via some ISP. PRO: Privacy is improved. Can do it on the Palmtop. Can still access email on some Web-connected terminal (not HV, since mostly these services use Javascript to display email). CON: Costs money. 3. Get a local ISP and use their POP3 and SMTP access, forget about Yahoo. PRO: Palmtop, privacy CON: Costs money. If he moves, he has new email address. 4. Get a local ISP and use Yahoo POP3 and SMTP. Pro: privacy, palmtop, if moves, Yahoo address remains. CON: costs money, cancellation. 5. Get a Roaming account. This is arranged among ISPs wwhich "host" your account temporarily while you are in their vicinity. PRO: Stable account id. Palmtop access ok (mostly). Privacy. CON: Usually costs more, harder to login, and varies among ISPs, depending on the service. Avi The above is my own private opinion.

Nobody knows if it WILL, but I think you should not try it - or at least if you want to try it, take it out once you recognize some strange behaviour like screen contrast disappearing or heat developing... Do you want to have a modem that needs less than 150 mA? I have one in spare, that I don't need, and I'm also living in Germany. So I could sell it to you, if you want. Please contact me off list, if you need it. It's a SCM Fax/Modem card 14.400 with a German TAE-N phone plug. Works great with the HPLX.

Actually, HPCRACK doesn't even need to know the algorithm. It scans through the file looking for a record of type "1", which is the password record. It then takes those 17 bytes and does a binary exclusive-or with a 17-byte "secret" code that the author figured out, and your password is revealed. How that password is used to encode the rest of the data is not necessary to know just to get the password out. -- Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 10:19:04 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: wince test message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable testing the TOPICS filter...Thanks, AJKind ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 10:20:44 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: wince: Toipcs test #2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thanks for your patience...AJK ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 10:23:27 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Re: wince: Toipcs test #2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Last test!

If you delete a file from your palmtop it is not deleted from your backup, so the backup grows and grows in size.... What I have been working on over the last couple of weeks is a batch file which will incrementally backup my palmtop in such a way that the backup is an IMAGE of what is on my palmtop with no extraneous information. It seems to be working, but I havent got all the bugs out yet. So far the longest part of the procedure is doing "dir/s" on my 32Mb a: drive. I am trying as much as possible to use standard tools especially on the palmtop side. I am using Laplink to connect and xcopy to do the backing up as well as some small apps to compare the directory listing. Does anyone have other solutions to this problem, or should I "wrap up" my solution and send it to SUPER. (Once I have goot the bugs out :) One of the nice things is that I can run dbcheck on the desktop to check my databases before including them in the full backup. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 17:34:34 +1000 Reply-To: davidb@netmedia.net.il Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Becher Subject: Re: Other DOS Version on HP 200 LX Richard A.

This is giving you a choice from where to read config.sys and autoexec.bat. It is NOT giving you a choice of where to load a different operating system.

True, you can load some DOS utilities from other DOS versions, but this is not the same as running another version of DOS. For example, I can run some DOS 6.22 programs on my 200LX (even a Win95 version of Scandisk), but I can't use the menu based alternate boot configurations that DOS 6.22 provides because they are at a lower level and affect how config.sys is read/interpreted. BTW, I thought the HP95 ran DOS 3.0, not 5.0. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 15:59:31 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: Replying to the Digest Comments: To: Jeff Johns MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > > do you recall the shareware program's name?

Smith / Patti Smith" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I think most of us have tried that before but got nowhere. The problem is that DOS isn't initially loaded with config.sys and autoexec.bat. Those files are actually the end part of the boot processing. The initial loading of DOS is done in ROM, where we don't have an option. The ROM based DOS 5.0 kernel is started first and because of that, many DOS 6.x features will subsequently not be recognized. Think of it as having a boot disk for an ordinary DOS PC. If you just copy the autoexec.bat and config.sys files to a diskette, you won't be able to boot from it. The correct thing to do is to format the diskette with the /s option which copies IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS to the diskette and creates a boot record (a small program on the front sector used to load the system). These files are analogous to what's in ROM...and what we can't change. My guess is that during a boot, the equivalent of the boot record in the LX (which is in ROM) then needs to get the IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS files for the next part of the boot sequence. On a diskette, the boot record looks for those files on the disk ... on the LX it's likely hard-coded to just look in the ROM for those files, and hence the main part of the kernel gets loaded without any opportunity to intervene. I think all that happens before you see the boot options menu on the LX, which at that point merely lets you control the final parts of the boot. However, if you find otherwise please let us know. - Longden "Richard A. Smith / Patti Smith" on 11/18/99 10:01:20 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to "Richard A.

I looked over some of the earlier remarks on this thread, and I know Peniel has described SysMgr as a TSR, but I'm not sure this is entirely accurate. A true TSR returns control to DOS, while trapping an event interrupt (such as a hot-key) in order to know when to re-activate itself. However, when you type 200 and start SysMgr/AppMgr, at no time do you return control back to DOS. Subsequent DOS access thru SysMgr/AppMgr (such as Filer/Ctrl-123) merely creates a DOS subshell, and is not a true return of control. When you exit (More/Menu/Application/TerminateAll) to DOS, no trace of SysMgr remains. However, the exact definition of TSR doesn't appear essential to answering your question. SysMgr is similar to AppMgr in acting as a supervisor program. Just as AppMgr handles application starts/stops, SysMgr handles AppMgr start/stop and also various low-level activities such as handling of the serial ports and polling the running tasks continuously. All "native" LX programs are in exm format (this includes AppMgr), which are managed by SysMgr, so no exm programs can run without running SysMgr first...so in a sense you are correct that "AppMgr is not a program of itself" since it requires SysMgr to load and manage it. The relationship is similar to SysMgr=DOS, and AppMgr (or X-Finder)=Windows. - Longden PS. I'm not an LX developer, so someone who knows more about the LX on that level may want to correct me if I'm wrong. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 14:34:07 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mberri01@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael Berrier Subject: Fwd: HPLX Built-in phone appl MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="part1_0.4d3e028f.2567002f_boundary" --part1_0.4d3e028f.2567002f_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi guys, many thanks to those who answered promptly to my question I posed .

Bill Childers used one for a month. I'm getting one this week and plan to use it quite a bit. You have to have the Nokia 2190 phone (which I, by lucky coincidence, have) or something identical, and your provider has to support it and the US version of GSM (which I think is 1900MHz? I may be wrong...), but then it works fine. Unfortunately most providers charge extra for data calls... on my plan I pay $49.95 a month for 1500 minutes of voice, and an extra $4.95/month or the PCSDataConnect option that allows data connections. But then they charge an additional $0.15/minute for any data calls! Talk about highway robbery. Or rather, airwave robbery. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 15:14:12 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Dan Ridenhour Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dan Ridenhour Subject: Re: Anyone use a HP + WWW/LX + TELNET/LX on SprintPCS's new wireless data services.

Where can we find more info (web page or >something)? Unfortunately nothing wireless is unlimited, the $9.99 plan gives you 50 minutes and 50 web updates (pushed data from sites to your phone). If you want additional time you can stack up to 3 of the $9.99 plans on your account or just pay as you go at .39 a min extra time. Also, there are 3 services included... Wireless web (allows on phone browsing of selected sites (not HTML a different markup language). the web updates (push), and wireless data (using the phone as a 14.4 modem). From what ive gathered talking with various techs etc... the straight use of the phone as a modem goes against your normal talk time so for example their 50/500 holiday special would give you 500 minutes of connect time for $50 a month, which isnt that bad. www.sprintpcs.com has more details im sure.

Think of it as Windows 3.1, sort of an "application environment." Then all the other programs (like Application Manager) run under that environment.

Yea my problem is i need a telnet client which leaves out a number of the wireless options and makes the Palm VII a paperweight :). I use both HPs and a Palm V which both have serial ports and since the phone acts as the modem theres no heavy draw on the devices power due to a PC card. Ive seen it work on Palms and Win9x machines but havent heard of it used with an HP... which of course prompted my original post. :) Also $59 a month is a bit high for my liking... I can do one of the following with sprint. $29.95 + 9.95 for 120 min of phone time, and 50 web min/updates. (0.39 an extra min) $16.95 for 30 min of talk time ($0.39 a min for internet access) The $39.90 (total) will probably suit my needs... and I get PCS phone service and the ability to browse pages like mapquest for directions on the phone which could be handy. but will it work. always the question. :) Dan driden@stlnet.com > >** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 15:18:07 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Don Puscher Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Don Puscher Subject: Pocket Launcher and DOS Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; types="text/plain,text/html"; boundary="=====================_349362686==_.ALT" --=====================_349362686==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I've been using 200Mnu Y.A.P.A.L.

No, there are not enough dos services (all the stuff on INT21) or BIOS services to even get started. There is also no command shell. However, there is a special key sequence you can hold down when booting the device (which think may trash your data) that does not boot the GUI. But instead puts you in a state whereby you can do tethered debugging (debugging from a PC over a serial port). Once in that state, you can then run the GUI (and it's applications) under the debugger. This leads me to believe that, if you REALLY knew what you were doing, you could choose to run some other x86 code, but again not DOS programs. And not too practical either! >> 2.

True. For the Morphy One and relatives, the NewDeal software would probably be what we'd want to deal with. Or even more likely for me, Linux. Which brings up a good point: will the Morphy One, or enhanced 200LX machines in general, be considered appropriate for this same mailing list? My gut feeling is that the Morphy One, being completely separate, won't be, but something like a 200LX with a Pentium CPU upgrade (just a fantasy, folks; it doesn't exist) would be. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 23:38:14 -0000 Reply-To: Mike@ampersoft.co.uk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Little Organization: Ampersoft Subject: Re: Nokia 9110 Communicator/will HP200LX run GEOS?

There is a review on the internal Geoworks site (to which I no longer have access), from a Computer show in the US, where Geoworks debut-ed GEOS and Microsoft debut-ed Win/386 (so we're talking about 1990?) and everyone (including MS employees) was knocked out by the GEOS system. Not only was it faster and slicker, but the GEOS demo machines were 2MB 286's and the Win/386 machines were 4MB 386's. Unfortunately, Microsoft had more money and marketing muscle even then, and Geoworks put their eggs in a couple of wrong baskets, the rest is history!

There was another factor as well, the GEOS system had limited development tools available and development was more difficult than for the Win16 environment. GEOS has a long history going all the way back to its roots as a Multitasking OS for 64k 6510/6502 series CPUs then later for the PC. Another obscure note is that the PC version of GEOS iirc was originally bankrolled by IBM which wanted to use it as the kernel of an OS/2 release but M$ didnt like that idea too much, so it got shelved then later released independently by Geoworks. The C64, Apple, Nokia 9000, tandy Zoomer, HP Omnigo, PC all had Geos as their OS or as an available option, and new deal office is still a good way to get a older machine on the internet.

I was finally able to make contact with a knowledgable human at Compuserve, and after approx 2 1/2 hours on the phone, I was finally transferred to someone there who knows about the old acCIS DOS access software. They told me that the old compuserve servers that offer acCIS v4.0 access are DOS servers on the old cis system. acCIS v4.0 cannot connect with the newer csi servers that will only handle windows software access. Compuserve is now prohibiting new subscribers from accessing to the old cis DOS servers for acCIS v4.0 access because it has been known internally for a quite some time now those servers will be phased out. Well, those servers NOW have a definite shutdown date and all old-timers who still have access to the old cis servers will soon get an email announcing that those servers are being phased out and will be shut down soon. There will be no more DOS access for even those old-timers with current access! So, to summarize: The rumors turned out to be correct. The acCIS v4.0 Compuserve access software is worthless to new Compuserve subscribers and will soon be completely useless to even the old-timers who currently have access with the acCIS v4.0 software!

Check on that. I understood that "modem" time counts against both base/voice _and_ "wireless web" time allotments. This makes sense architecturally. Both voice and data calls send data from the phone to Sprint, but "modem" usage means the Sprint servers have to treat the phone's data stream differently, channeling it to a modem rack at Sprint that connects to your dialup server. I doubt that it's so much more complicated as to justify the extra cost, but if there's demand... So I think the 50/500 might only get you 50 modem minutes and 450 voice, but almost certainly not 500 modem minutes. > Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 15:32:49 -0600 > From: Dan Ridenhour > Yea my problem is i need a telnet client which leaves out a number of > the wireless options and makes the Palm VII a paperweight You could ignore the silly wireless stuff and hook up the phone anyway. ;-) > I use both HPs and a Palm V which both have serial ports and since the > phone acts as the modem theres no heavy draw on the devices power due > to a PC card.

Maybe you confuse protocol with operating system? I am aure any DOS program using HMI (like acCIS 4.0) will keep going. That's all the WinCIM products do - use HMI. But yes the old DEC sevrers supporting the ascii protocol have been gradually phased out over the = last couple of years. > Well, those servers NOW have a definite shutdown date 31.12.99 ? > So, to summarize: > > The rumors turned out to be correct.

This would be true if you replace the 4.0 with 3.0 or 2.0, but accis4.0 uses HMI and this protocol continues. Of course I may be wrong!

Hi Darren - I think the problem is that XF uses the DOS pipe symbol (|) as its own command switch. I tried your command from the XF DOS command box - and nothing...

Just as a matter of clarification, 200MNU takes the above command and writes a batch file as follows: cd a:\bin\shass a:\bin\shass\shass.exe This is how it "tells" the application how to "find" data files.

Looks like xgrep wants the directory or file as the last parameter, so you basically need the search specs there before the file specs. Longden mentioned the HDM "Open with arguments" facility, and (of course) XF can do something similar. Try picking xgrep in the XF file manager screen & hitting ÝEnter¨ or F10 (DOS) - You'll get a dialog where you can add your options and parameters. If you want to start it from an icon, create a symbolic link (.xff) file, and it'll work the same way. Otherwise, I can't think of a way to have XF automatically pass the file or directory specs, but pop up a dialog for just the search specs. Maybe some of the other XF folks have some ideas...

I would imagine that the other line types are simply the binary representation of the 16-bit integer (unsigned), mapped to 16 pixels - for example the 16-bit value 0xaaaa which is the equivalent of 101010...Ý*¨ in binary would make a dotted line, with alternating on and off pixels.

Perhaps if the Morphy One is a success (and we beg them long and hard enough!), then D&A might consider programming a new browser with frames capability. The resolution shouldn't be a problem - there's always scroll bars - and the 486/32MB combination would supply more than adequate speed and memory. Unfortunately, this is all very hypothetical at the moment... From what I recall, memory constraints were the main reason as to why HV could not be improved upon for the LX. But, if HV is compatible with the new WAP standard (presumably, WAP is a cut-down version of the latest HTML standard - is it?), and if that standard becomes popular, then HV could yet enjoy a new lease of life. -Mike Ýhttp://games.hplx.net¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 12:33:52 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , smoore Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars Hedstroem Subject: Re: PCMCIA Disks Available and 16 Meg Memory!

I know that this sounds like a bit of a kludge, but perhaps you could write a batch script in LXBatch. The script language is very simple and produces very nice GUI interfaces (there is a nice script for PGP and I am fiddling with a script to help format medical progress notes quickly). You could pass the file name that you wish to grep as an argument for your script which would then go and offer you the various options for grep (you would have to hard-code these into the script). At then end it would execute the command you desired such as "grep ". It may be more work than you are interested in commiting, but the result would be very pretty. Once it was finished, you would just have to highlight the file you want to grep, press your hotkey (eg, Ýshift-G¨), and that would be it! Like I said earlier, I am just in the early phases of playing with LXBatch, but the sample scripts that I've seen and the little bit that I've been able to write have all been very nice. -- Terry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 11:57:22 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: WWW/LX Update??

Well, you probably forgot what I wrote to you. I said to you, and have stated it publicly too, that the viewing frames on the limited screen of the palmtop is rather useless and would not convey anything like the frames viewed on a SVGA screen for example. Also, the painting of multiple Webdocuments all at once on the screen is beyond the memory requirements of the palmtop and chip. Java, which is what Dan is talking about is another story altogether, and maybe you confuse frames and Java and Javascript. To run the latter two, you need a lot of processing power and that is not available on the palmtop. Also, it requires fairly large code sets and that is also not possible on the 80186 chip. > Anyhow,is it possible to do yet another crystal upgrade?

(somewhat long) Hi all, Today's puzzle/panic = DB files... 1st - Kudos to Curtis for developing the dB checker! But .... I've got some DB questions now! I think my phonebook, etc. may be corrupt. I've got 12 .?DB files in my _dat dir and they ALL tested bad!!! I don't think they are critical errors in every case, but I'm a bit worried. I don't understand a lot of the dbchecker output, but like having LOTS of avail. info. It encounters a "Possible error" when it finds one more record than it expected to find... For example: "984 records expected, 985, found (could be due to FASTDB.TSR)". What is FASTDB.TSR? I'm running a DoubleSpeed, memory expanded 200LX. Does Dbchecker consider Mack's drivers "FASTDB.TSR" or is that something else running around in memory Ýrunning Super Software Carousel too, but not MAXDOS (unless it's hiding in the Super SC config.)¨? If that's not a critical error, I'm good-to-go for all but my Phone and Address databases. I had an odd "thumb trip-up" while typing too fast and my display went wiggy (yes, a technical term, I know). The font got very small and odd. Don't know what combo. I accidentally pressed, but it didn't look good! It was a font style change, smaller than Fn-Zoom, and strange looking. I backed out of all apps (phonebook and appt. book were open) and, once I got to the DOS prompt, I rebooted. Thought there might be a problem w/ the two open apps. (had one entry turn into a little diamond(!), but 99.9 % was OK. It seemed like a good time to try the DB Checker!! Ran one of the batch files and it said it found errors and dumped out (leaving the .log file). ALL 12 tested bad!! I had a good, 2-day-old back-up and restored but things still test bad: All 12 files; so I'm guessing this rules out whatever I did w/ my small accident. Been experimenting. Garlic looks like it left my phonebook untouched, except that the DB is a slightly smaller file AND, it tests as "OK" w/ the DB Checker.... New_Appt.adb tests OK too; *BUT* it's brought back ToDos from 1997! ( I think that's because it didn't keep all the to-do items from 1999!). I suppose even the back-ups from two days before the "thumb trip" could be bad but all 12? The "expected" to "found" record number difference is higher in the phonebook and calendar (I copied them to a dir. called garlic, because I was headed there next! I'll only copy the .log results from my two "problem" files to save space: a:\garlic\APPT.ADB: 1054 records found. File type: Appointment ......................................................... 1 db header, 0 card def 0 categories, 27 fields defined 0 view point defs, 2 view point tables 2 smart clips, 1 lookup tables 835 data records, 172 with notes 3 lookup table entries flagged as deleted Possible error: 1015 records expected, 1056, found (could be due to FASTDB.TSR) a:\garlic\APPT.ADB had errors. a:\garlic\PHONE.PDB: 985 records found.

I thought that LXDR would be able to read the exported mail (which just concatenates the total pure messages into one long file).

Any operating system can be made to run on a CGA screen with the right virtual VGA screen driver. Of course it means having to scroll the screen to see everything, but it is definately possible.

This version has better IMAP support, and now uses the latest WatTCP library (which has just been released after lots of improvements by Erick, Steve Lawson, myself and others). I now personally use IMAP instead of POP when on the road, cause it lets me leave all the messages on the server, but allows me to download a copy of only those messages that I haven't seen yet. The server keeps track of which messages have been downloaded (irrespective of where you download them from) and then when I get back to my home base I've still got all the messages there, but the server knows that I've already seen most of them and therefore only presents the new ones to me. -- -- 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, 22 Nov 1999 11:27:57 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: 123 on my laptop 286?

JavaScript is code inside of a HTML page that is executed by the client. The client must support JavaScript. JavaScript is NOT a www standard. It was introduced by Netscape to enable bullshit like mouse-over effects, hopping hopping graphics and other unusable stuff.

Everything, that is executed on the server side should be LX-readable, because it produces HTML. A good example for something really practical on the web is PHP. It is really a good thing, especially if you do SQL database stuff. Perl is IMHO the best programming language on the web. Most CGI scripts are Perl.

So we cannot change it. That's interesting. This is common in my business, where we deal with embedded processors. I guess I didn't think about it being done in my palmtop. In hindsight, this shouldn't surprise me. So replacing the ROM becomes more complicated - easiest would be to replace the Hornet after re-programming it. But if we can't even find the data sheet, I presume it is even harder to actually buy a new Hornet.

No. The Java applets that run on the clientside run in a virtual machine. They can do graphic stuff there that is not possible serverside. If the product is bigger than the applet, then clientside Java is the solution.

Well: "modern software development" means for me e.g. libraries for the HP LX (as available for Perl). Where are the JavaLX 'libraries'? Perl's are found on Super.

Get the ntkpac05.zip file from SUPER. It contains a keyboard driver TSR and a readme.txt which gives the pin connections to make between the Newton Keyboard and the LX's serial port. There were two general approaches to doing this project: 1) rip out Newton's cable, cut off end of HP-F1015A cable and solder it to the keyboard. 2) build a Mini-DIN 8-pin female to HP-F1015A female connector. I took this approach as I wanted to be able to use the Newton keyboard with other devices. Both of the above generally requires a sacrifice of the HP-F1015A cable. It is possible to use a dual-5-pin cable connector in place of the HP-F1015A, but generally looks ugly. Plus, unless you add the little bump on the top of the connector, you might plug it in backwards and cause damage to your serial port. > Thanks! > -- Terry -- Peter A.

Perhaps we ought to invite him into the group I've pasted the short sidebar below: T ________________________________________________________ Bob Conti: Backseat Pilot A voice on the end of the line answers: "Hey ya...hold on...just a sec... "Hello? Sorry about that, I've got a computer on one line, a client on the other, and a cell phone in my hand. I need more bandwidth!" Bob Conti, COO and senior vice president of The Alexander Group, a sales and marketing consultancy based in San Francisco, is always green-light go. He spends four days a week flying to client meetings across the United States and clocked 250,000 miles in the air last year. He's one of a select group of business travelers who make commercial airlines work for them instead of the other way around. Conti's secret? A cell phone, a PDA, a laptop, and an old-fashioned paper directory, the OAG Pocket Flight Guide. "Just last week," says Conti, "I'm on an 8:30 a.m. flight out of San Francisco to Phoenix. We're waiting to board, and they announce that the pilot is stuck in traffic on the Bay Bridge! This is what's known as the Big Lie!" Conti jumps into action. He pulls out his well-worn OAG guide, which lists every flight (including the ones your travel agent won't tell you about) for 800 airlines worldwide, and locates the next outbound flight. "I call my travel agent on my Nokia 6160 cell phone, book the flight, and I'm in Phoenix in time for the meeting." Always, always, he says, carry the OAG. That's Conti's Rule of Engagement No. 1. To Conti, being a road warrior isn't a hassle, it's a strategic game. To get the best seat on any given plane, he's recorded the complete seating chart of 25 airplanes in his HP 200LX PDA. "I've got the entire United fleet in here," he says, tapping the little black gadget. "I've got Delta, America West, hmm, who else?..." Once he's settled into a choice seat he boots up his IBM ThinkPad 570. It's thin, reliable, and stays powered for 3.5 hours on one battery, he says. But even for laptop work, he's got a few rules: o Conti's Rule of Engagement No. 2 Never, ever use a client's name in a document aboard a plane. Airplanes are public places. "Type in xxx in place of the name and do a global search and replace later in the hotel room," he says. o Conti's Rule of Engagement No. 3 Block out onboard distractions. "For years I would carry Walkman headphones with me. When I wanted to work I'd pop on the headphones, and no one would bother me. I didn't have a Walkman, just the headphones." There are more rules, but Bob's protective of the really choice material-like when to invoke the FAA's Rule 240 in order to get a new flight, or the statistically favorable reason for making the gate agent smile. The next time you're in the airport, look for him. He'll be the one with the cell phone to his ear, PDA open, fingers typing in the latest seating configuration. Traveling is a game when you know all the rules ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 23:10:23 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Re: 200 lx in Forbes ASAP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Mon, 22 Nov 1999 23:47:35 -0500, DIGEST Tony Corso = wrote: > Perhaps we ought to invite him into the group Or, if Mr. Conti is already here, please raise your hand so that I can = give it a firm handshake!

This is definitely possible. I did it a few times back when I had a 48G. You use kermit on both devices. On the 200LX it is done from the Terminal emulator. I do not recall the details, unfortunately. Some points to make: Be sure that you have the IR port on. Be sure you match baud rates. I think the 48 is limited to a very slow rate. You can speed this up with a free program which is listed in the HP48 FAQ which I'm sure is available somewhere on the web. Sorry I can't recall any more specifics. Cheers. J. P.

Just took the for-upgrade 1Mb 200LX here, apart, finally got my repaired soldering station back today Should have it apart until I solder on it in the AM, then do the 1000Cx machine, then put both back together & get them ready to sell. Looking on that palmtop's momboard, where exactly is that part? I scanned the motherboard here, but didn't see that exact code on any part. If you can point me AT the part, I can tell; I'm guessing it's a small value Capacitor. Is this part like the larger yellow/brown boxes on there that also have 2 leads, with similar numbers & codes? Does it have a similar 'bar' marking across one end (a polarity marking?) Also wanted to be sure which is the "Send" IR LED and which is the "Receive" phototransistor, if you can tell me (About to get the parts so I can tell with an IR sensor, pretty soon here, for myself ) I can get some ferrite beads, if I figured right & the black lensed unit's the photodiode, that will fit on there fairly easily; Am about to order parts tomorrow for a friend, can throw some in the order. Something handy for those with a newer 'mainframe' Win95 or WinNT box with sound, is http://www.dialpad.com/, BTW - You can use that to dial any US phone number as a local call, I'm told (I don't have the Win95 machine together, right now, but that's going to happen.)

(G) I suspect it can be done, but, those chips are very fine-pitch SMD (TSOP-48 format) chips, so I will pass for a while (until I buy a better soldering station anyways - Give me a month ) To do this - you'd have to find out what (if any!) existing part can be bought & programmed to fit in there, ROM-ize an existing version of DOS, and get a somewhat pricey adapter to burn the ROM in a typical ROM burner. Or get HP or someone to make new ROMs for us; I don't remember seeing a TSOP 48-pin part lately... Probably just as easy to make a set of replacement/add-in commands to make Dos 5 plus those commands (in your path), act the ways you want the 200LX to act. I guess my question here is, what do we want from Dox 6.22 (or FreeDos?) that isn't already on the machine? (And, is there an easier way to get it?) I suspect we could use something like LoadLin, re-written slightly, to load most ANY OS into the 200LX, really...

Poor thing! I don't know about the 48SX/200LX conenction, but I assume it is via infrared, using Filer on the 200LX and I-don't-know-what on the 48SX. The 200LX/Mac connection requires wire, typically: the HP cable (null modem LX 10-pin to 9-pin serial) connected, by a 9/25 pin serial adapter, to a Mac modem cable (full modem 25-pin serial to Mac 8-pin DIN) plugegd into the Mac's modem port or whichever you've selected in Chooser. Software is simply a standard modem communication program on both sides of the connection -- I use the 200LX's built-in Datacomm and the shareware Zterm 1.01 on the Mac. (Note that if your Mac is an IR-equipped PowerBook or iBook, you can probably transfer files via infrared, but I've not tried this.) Hope this helps, Bruce in Toronto (100LX, 200LX, Mac IIci and PowerMac 9500) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 11:01:51 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: WWW/LX Browsing Problem MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Sun, 21 Nov 1999 22:38:58 -0500, Takeshi Ochi wrote: > I am trying to browse the web using registered version of WWW/LX.

We have seen in the past few days many problems with ATTGLOBAL - which is where IBM.NET is now running. The ATT Global newsgroup is apparently full of complaints about the same issue. To make things worse: In ATT nodes outside the USA the problem is mostly unknown! In the US nodes it is mostly a problem, but on some few occasions all is well. ATT seems to have acknowledged that this is in their servers and their developers are working on it. So far, no solution. We analysed this phenomenon and determined that WWW/LX and HV work fine! HV seems to received an empty webpage and thus paints it on the screen. Why it is empty is up to ATT Global to explain. Please _do_ call ATT GLOBAL and complain to their Tech Support that you get empty pages (this seems to happen on various platforms, BTW!)

You can easily generate nice HTML code on the server and send it to the requestor (HV, for example). But if you can generate the HTML hy not just have the HTML ready to download? The only additional functionality the Serverside Java adds is to customize HTML documents. HV is unaffected by that, since it receives HTML documents. Hopefully, the Java servelets authors also made sure the code generated is HTML 3.2 which would be supported by HV. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 11:02:05 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Drowning the display: self-inflicted sorrows MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Winfried Zettelmeyer wrote: > sorry to have bothered you with a self-inflicted problem in my > last post that complained about being drowned by all those > packet data displayed while on-line, slowing communication > down. > > Somebody had disclosed the "@11" command to me to find out how > much memory I had left after loading POST/LX.

We found that less than 5% of the logs were of any use. Processing emails with unsolicited logs is wateful of our time and efforts, and impacts DIRECTLY on our ability to help our customers... So please, I plead with you all - do not send logs to us if you have problems with WWW/LX Plus - I promise, if we need a log, we will ask for it. Let me add: In almost ALL CASES, we can solve problems with WWW/LX Plus with no need for logs. For example, we have gone fro months(!) with no need for logs at all! We just produced one of them the otherday for the first time in months, to debug the ATT GLOBAL Blank HTML pages. I will therefore institute a procedure by which all emails with unrequested logs will be returned to customers. This will save us the time and energy to look through unneeded material. If you have an uncontrollable need :-) to produce logs and send them somewhere I would like to offer to you the following excellent email Address: Winfried Zettelmeyer If you send logs to that address, make sure to send the same log three or four times, just for fun :) I know Winfried is going to be delighted to receive as many logs as possible, to fill up his email box and make him happy...

I think your estimate of size is inaccurate, or your eyes very good if you can read text on a 1mm * 2mm component. If the component is nearer 2mm *4mm then there are probably two options. If it is a light brown with silver tips, it is probably a ceramic capacitor and I think this is probably what you have, especially if you do not get any readings when testing it. If it is dark brown (or black) with smaller silver tips, it is probably a resistor, and there are normally marked with a three digit number - the value of the resistor The other common two contact component is yellow, but with light brown lines at one end, these are polarised electrolytic capacitors, and there are many different sizes of these in the Palmtop. I my experience diodes are either cylindrical in shape or if rectangular, have a white polarising mark/line at one end. I do not have my Palmtop in pieces at the moment so cannot identify the exact component you refer to but I hope this helps Laurence ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 22:49:50 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laurence Harvey Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laurence Harvey Subject: Re: Retrofitting a Newton keyboard MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Peter Castro wrote > Plus, unless you add the little >bump on the top of the connector, you might plug it in backwards and cause >damage to your serial port.

If you can't get that, then use both a 9-pin gender changer & 9-pin null-modem (both available at RadioShack - don't remember the part #s though). If your modem uses a 25 -pin connector, you'll also need a 9 to 25 pin adapter. I used this cockamamie arrangement for a while, then ordered an unterminated HP cable from the late EduCalc, and made up a cable.

It does, but I have only been able to get it to "Instant message" somebody, not to do a live chat. Rod Whitby was looking at it a few weeks back to see what could be done with it, but obviously it's not a high priority for anybody who could do anything with it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 04:41:51 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Try opening Lotus before you launch Post altho, I would guess that there will not be enough room that way either.

Subject: Re: PS/2 Keyboard for 1000CX or 200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Could make a PIC-based PS/2 to Serial keyboard adapter, with some work, and a driver for that to fit on the 200Lx, power is a problem though (AT type keyboards usually eat ~ 200 mA roughly at 5V, a lot more than you want to feed it from your LX!) Would have to get the programming correct on the PIC microcontroller, which would take a little work. It's a simple unit, would cost about $25ish or so to make & sell, but take some time to make. Could put batteries in the PS/2 to serial converter and power converter and keyboard from those, or put both inside the keyboard, then run a different cable to the LX, which would be a good way to go; I'd sort of thought of having a keyboard that the 200Lx sat on top of, have the LC sort of "dock into" the keyboard, and run the 200Lx off the same batteries while docked there, that'd be sort of nice. It'd be a light laptop, at that. And a lot faster to type on One thing's improved here, at least - The PIC based PS/2 to serial converters don't eat much power at all, unlike past versions. (You could run one off of a 9V battery or even 3 AA batteries for about a year, at a guess? Or just "siphon" power off the 200LX's serial port, fairly easily done.) The keyboard's a power hog, though, if you get an older desktop keyboard - some newer laptop keyboards could use far less power, and I imagine with the Energy Star program, newer keyboards do use less power.

It runs quite happily on a double speed 200lx. It gave results very close to published tide predictions for Sydney and the east coast of Australia.

Also, if you are using the serial transfer cable, then you are correct in adding a null-modem adapter. Maybe you are using the printer cable? Maybe try with and without the null adapter. Also, try entering at the DOS prompt: "serctl /w" to turn on the port, and make sure all software is set to com 1 (the PCMCIA modem is com 2).

You can use Stefan Peichl's 'LXPRO' (you find it on SUPER) to set the serial port manually to 'COM1' and 'WIRE'. And you can set the port speed and other parameters.

No terribly original ideas... A couple of folks suggested making sure that port 1 is selected, and is powered up. Also try different port speeds. Some modems can be fussy about port speeds. Before making the custom cable, I used the multi-adapter arrangement successfully with COMMO, NetTamer, and WWW/LX - and also with rodents & trackballs. You can use serctl /w to turn on the port, or, even better, get Stefan Peichl's setcom1 from SUPER. BTW - just took a look at my RS adapters, and the part #s aren't marked on 'em.

We expect to have enough new ones to last through January, but there is no way to tell for sure. When they are gone they are gone. Note that while we sell 4 meg 200LX as is direct from HP, we will only sell the 2 meg with one of our double speed, extra memory upgrades. Finally, anyone who is willing to deposit $500 -- we will hold a new 200LX for when we will be able to backlight it. We expect to offer backlight, sometime first quarter 2000 for a $199 upgrade charge. If we cannot deliver backlight in that timeframe, we will refund the deposit. Our normal shipping charge in the U.S. is $9.50 and outside U.S. $35. However, on multiple unit sales we can ship at the actual shipping cost. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 09:25:33 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hal Goldstein Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Re: Retrofitting a Newton keyboard MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" <> Depending on costs we hope to modify the keyboard so the HP cable just works.

I just connected it to the HP serial cable using the male<->male 9 pin adaptor and it worked! I would suggest first starting up datacomm, checking your communications settings and typing A T Z and (without spaces between the characters). If you get an answer "OK" from the modem, it means that you palmtop is connected to the modem. Next go into Setup (Ctrl-Filer) and check that the Comm port is enabled under DOS. If you want to save power and not enable it always, in DIAL.BAT add the line: serctl /w to the start of dialing and the line serctl /o to the end of the hangup portion. (Serctl enables and disables the serial port. It is found on your d: drive) This is as far as the initial setup goes.

I just had David Shier, from Shier Systems, make me a custom cable, about a month ago, that has the small connectivity cable end, that plugs into the palmtop, on one end, and a 9 pin serial end on the other, and the cable is wired as a null modem cable. I had this made because I was going to use it with a Qualcomm cell phone I had just bought, but took the phone back before I received the cable from Shier. I was using a null modem adapter that was on one end of my connectivity cable, and my cell phone cable plugged into the other end. I had to use various gender changers to plug the two cables together. The two cables, the null modem adapter, and gender adapters made quite a long cable assembly. The cable shier made was less than 12" long, so it cut out a larger length of the standard connectivity cable. In fairness, I did not want to attempt to send the custom cable back to Shier, just because I no longer needed it anymore, so I figured that someday I would either use it for something else, or someone else might need it. I will have to look how much I exactly I paid for it, if I recall it was like $30 or $35, and if your interested let me know, and I would be happy to sell it.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit There were several excellent and informative posts on the way to connect PC to 1000CX. I think ZIP, Transfile, LLRA, LapLink, Interlnk/Intersvr were all mentioned. In one of the posts there was a bit of a confusion: LLRA and LapLink Remote are two separate products, from the same company, doing more or less the same function, and unfortunately, use a similar name. The worst part: LLRA will not talk to LapLink. LapLink 4.5 is the latest version that works on the Palmtop if memory serves. It has a "self-installing mode" which means you run it on the PC and connect the two machines, then tell it to connect and install itself on the Palmtop. It will find its way to the serial port, and provide the user with the commands to type ON THE PALMTOP to make the serial port connect, then move itself across the link, and voila! LapLink installed on the palmtop. Works GREAT! LLRA is simply a pig. It is huge, slow, and in the palmtop requires a huge memory penalty, since it runs as a TSR. I believe there is no way to make LLRA work under NT (?). LapLink is nimble and runs very well. The problems encountered with LapLink, as with other programs that run on the PC under Windhose is that Windhose takes a patriarchal attirude towards you - it knows better :-( and messes with the serial port, denying a DOS program in many case the use of the serial port. There are several ways to beat down Windhose into submission, but this is a "whole nother subject..." so to speak. I used Interlnk/Intersvr replication and LapLink on a 1000CX - works just fine, once you bang Windhose into being somwhat sensible. It is a snap on DOS PCs, of course.

Many C runtime libraries support a system() function that allows the C program to pass a command string to a child shell process for execution. I'd guess that this is usually implemented as a convenient wrapper around MS-DOS services, e.g. using INT 21H AX=4B00H to run the command interpreter (from the COMSPEC environment variable) and passing it a command string to execute. And the scope of "C program" is large. If your C program is itself compiled to an MS-DOS .EXE file and runs as an MS-DOS application (i.e. it runs until it's done and then exits), and there's enough memory left over to run your secondary DOS application, I would expect this to work. If your C program is a TSR, a device driver, or an HP System Manager EXM, I wouldn't expect it to work. -Frank McConnell PS: Perhaps this should have been flagged with TECH: in the Subject header. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 25 Nov 1999 17:29:04 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: Retrofitting a Newton keyboard Comments: To: Mark Willis MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Mark, > I could probably make these for people wanting those, they're fairly that would be great!

You specify the email addresses, userids and passwords, and tell the name of the POP3 server, and you can obtain on Yahoo your email from all of these. Further, if you are willing to put up with advertising junk from Yahoo, you can even get their service so you can use their POP3 servers with programs like Post/LX and our other excellent competitors :-) Avi The above is my own private opinion.

It seems it takes up to 24 hours for them to enable my account to access the internet. After that I'll only pay the calls at mobile-mobile rates. So I don't know if my lack of success on connecting to my ISP using WWW/LX on the 200LX was due to this oversight on my part or to some incompatibility between the WWW/LX-Palmtop and the Nokia 7110 IrDA. I'll try again tomorrow about noon GMT and report to you about my experiences. Meanwhile (sorry if this is fluff) to all that are expecting the Nokia 7110: the stock here in Oporto is exhausted, they have sold all the units. This balances with informations I had about sales in UK where the number of units available was rather low, and Martin information from Norway that he is expecting an ordered unit for some time.

Ian, as any of his friends will tell you, has been far too busy with life to be messing around with browsers. And, as I recall, I merely offered to help design one -- the major problem I had with HV was its instability due to poor internal design. My programming skills are limited to a few legacy languages, and a couple very-high-level languages - both useless for 200LX design.

I hauled it almost all the way to the North Pole, and it works great -- and it's NOT MSWin-CE! At any rate, a friend recently saw me using it, and said basically "Oh! I have one of those, but I didn't know it could be used for that - will you set it up for me?" Well, his turns out to be an HP95LX, with 1MB RAM - it does look just like my 200, but it appears to have a couple important differences, and so far, I haven't been able to get it to work as a remote e-mail checker. So, I'm looking for a modem that will work in it (Mine from my 200 will not - I gather that the modem must not require power from the 95), and for some pop-3 mail software that can run on it (the non-80x25 screen rules out the comm program I use on mine, which is Procomm). Or, can the screen be made to work in 80x25 mode? Anybody out there using the 95LX for e-mail, or for any comm applications? All help gratefully accepted!

And you can use IRC/LX and MICQ over the same connection if you use DosPPP to initiate your dial-up connection, then use WWW/LX's ethernet mode to talk to the packet driver in DosPPP, or MICQ to talk to the packet driver in MICQ. Using a generic PPP solution (like DosPPP) as a basis for your modem connectivity allows you to use all the best palmtop internet tools (LXTCP Suite, Goin' Postal, WWW/LX Suite, MICQ) without having to disconnect. Unfortunately, it's a bit harder to set up (no GUI like Goin' Postal or WWW/LX), but once you've got it set up it's a single solution that supports *all* the palmtop internet tools. A big thanks to DASoft for putting the ethernet mode in WWW/LX which allows it to be used with open-source packet drivers (either ethernet or modem or serial). -- Rod Whitby - rwhitby@hplx.net - http://rwhitby.hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 00:46:36 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mark Willis Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Willis Organization: Occasionally happens here.

And I like wire ties for holding cables, myself I'll make boards for about 90 of the Newton adapters on the first run of these, and boards for about 280 of the modem cables/short serial cables (whatever mix fits onto one 8.5"x11" panel), I'll only order a few of the connectors at first though, unless I hear more orders / get money in for parts, but in a week I'll have stuff to ship, and can make more later. I'm not sure if these will be tin plated boards, or gold plated, if the guy who's making the boards for me has tin plate solution, I'll leave it that way, else I'll plate gold on there (I help a mining group, can get more gold than I *want*, at cost, if I need it, and they want me set up to gold plate things.) I usually make my own PC boards (when I don't just order a bunch professionally done!), but my box of tools/chemicals is lost in the move here, like so many other things! (At least this time all my EPRom/Microcontroller programmers didn't disappear, like last time. I ended up duplicating a lot of those, then found them, so I have redundant backups now!) I detest moving, like most other people. Also good to pot the resulting cables, I'm not (yet) set up to make good molded potted ends, just a matter of time. Epoxy that doesn't shrink is a wonderful thing, I'll figure out a potting agent before the PCB's get here. I think I'll make some other goodies, if I can figure out what to make by the AM. I'll get some materials and get set to make my own PC boards again, the Laser Printer photoresist methods should work OK for my next few projects, like the IR extender, and I can do them mostly surface mount (It's a pain to drill many 0.8mm holes through a PC board, breaking drill bits, then soldering wires through half of them to do through-hole vias {interconnections}. Not a problem when you have a CNC mill that can drill 100 holes a minute or so, but when you drill 0.5mm via holes by hand, you break drill bits too often! Carbide drill bits are pricey.

Subject: Re: hard drive question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Actually: It's possible to make your own home "clean glove box". Get a Rainbow vacuum cleaner. Get an old printer cover (those ones from the days of Dot Matrix printers, used to cover the printer to quiet it down.) Get a roll of duct tape, some spare hose for the Rainbow, and a bunch of cans of compressed air. Get some good rubber gloves that you can work with, that're fairly mobile. Get some good tools, including a Torx #8 bit usually. Get some epoxy, too. Rig the Rainbow so that you can pull air out of the box, through the Rainbow, and blow it right back into the box. The rainbow will suck all the dust in the air in the box out, dropping it into the water in the Rainbow. You want to be able to get the air CLEAN inside this box. Cut a couple holes for the gloves in the front of the printer cover, so you can stick your hands in the gloves & work. Epoxy the gloves into those holes. Seal all joints and the lid of the printer cover most of the way, with duct tape. Put your drive, any replacement parts, the tools, and the cans of compressed air in the box; Seal the lid shut with duct tape. Turn the Rainbow on, use a can of compressed air to blow the drive, the tools, the gloves, everything inside the box that could be dirty, off. Once the inside of the box is CLEAN, you can turn the Rainbow off. You can then use the gloves to open the drive, put the spring that popped loose back into place or free the heads, and then re-seal the drive, and probably will have NO problems with the drive, if you blew all the dust clear while the Rainbow was running. If you didn't do a good job, you should still be able to recover that file! Yes, it's probably not worth doing this for one hard drive; I know a guy who did drives at home like this, for a while, drives aren't as worth fixing now as they used to be, though! (Back when an ST238R ran $350, if it got sick due to a spring popping off, it WAS worth making such a rig, just for one drive!) Should be under $100 worth of parts to do this, IF you already have the Rainbow vacuum cleaner. You can substitute a regular shop vac and a HEPA intake filter, if you don't have one. In a pinch, a car engine air filter would probably do fairly well, those are cheap enough! Cheap used shop vacs can be had for $20... You could also probably do this with a big plastic bag & a 1x1" wood frame instead of the printer cover, if you didn't have one; Use some plywood to anchor the gloves and as a work surface, so you don't tear the bag Mark Patrick West wrote: > > Oh, forgot to say dump the drive as soon as you get the data > as all the dust that you don't see that gets into it will > cause random data loss even if the head doesn't hang up > again. > > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml -- I do small package shipping for small businesses, world-wide. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 10:02:20 0 Reply-To: abmenezes@mail.telepac.pt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Antonio Queiroz Menezes Subject: Nokia 7110 and WWW/LX: Success MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi all (and specially Martin) The new Nokia 7110 works with the WWW/LX on the palmtop through the respective IR ports.

This didn't seem right to me so I investigated a bit more. It didn't seem right because voice, fax and data are all transmitted as data (it's a digital system). Well, a cellphone doesn't always transmit the same power - it depends on the proximity of the nearest base station. The feature is called "Uplink Power Control" and according to the signal strength (error rate) received by the base station, the base station controller tells the cellphone to increase or decrease output power. This is especially useful to save battery life. So, when you have a good communication channel, your received signal will be high (lots of bars in the display) and your transmitted signal will be low power (enough to give few enough bit errors that the error correction can cope). Therefore lots of signal bars = LOW transmit power = less likely interference to the hplx. What's the conclusion to minimize interference? Try to be in a strong signal area to reduce transmit power, and keep the cellphone as far from the lx as possible (while still keeping the IR connection ok).

Nice.. I saw your posting in the alt.cellular.nokia newsgroup..:-) How stable is the connection? Do you have many bad connections? Is there any difference where you put the 7110..far or near the hplx? Have you tried to make a connection when the signalstrengt is low? A gsm phone will as somebody pointed out increase the power and produce more errors vs the hplx when it is in a area with low stength. Both the S25 and the 7110 are dualband gsm phones. They work on the 900 and 1800 net.

What connection speed did you end up with? As long as its 9600 I am lucky. My network supports only 9600, maybe they will upgrade this to 14400 soon. I hope you got a stable connection on 14.4.. The next thing now is to set up your hp so that you can use the 7110/hplx/www/lx for sms. You need the Robot/lx software from the Dasoft webpage and also the script for sms.

So we can now say that there are 4 cell phones with IR that work? Nokia 8810, Wricsson SH888, Siemens S25, and Nokia 7110? Great result! I will await the full report at 9600. 14.4 and 19.2 is problably slower because it is still too fast, and your network supports no more than 9600 in any case. But this is still a source of great envy on my part. I am in the US and we do not have good GSM coverage, although improving rapidly.

Well, Andreas also told me that the Nokia 8110 and SH888 would likely work better and faster if better masking of the noise was found.

The 1200s are ok, but I like Thaddeus' better. As to the complaint about the voltage, please look at the battery itself - NiMH are rated at 1.3 Volt per AA cell, so the nomimal max is 2.6 Volt. Since you get 2.8 Volt, consider yourself fortunate. In any case, the peak voltage achieved is less important than the total charge you can put into the battery, because the latter will determine how long the battery will serve you between charges, not the peak voltage. I am not sure what the comment "and can't release their charge quite quickly" means. NiMH batteries are actually pretty good in the internal resistance area, if that is what you mean. They seem to let you push them down, a lot then recover nicely. Some Alkalines have a large internal resistance, and would serve you much much worse. Avi The above is my own private opinion.

I forgot who sent the message about the Radio Shack batteries. I'm sure that the batteries Thaddeus sells are very good. However, if you want very cost-effective NiMH batteries you should buy from www.thomas-distributing.com/batteries.htm . More specifically, check this link out: www.thomas-distributing/maha-aa-t.htm . Also these NiMH batteries have a nominal capacity of 1400 mAH but actually average about 1500mAH according to the manufacturer.

Hi-cap NiCd and NiMH batteries require more than the max 6 hrs charging time that the palmtop will charge them (unless you use Charge-It, ABC, or some other battery charging software). I have used the older RS hi-cap NiCd batteries (listed at 850 mAh) and they worked fine for me. I notice that the current RS hi-cap NiCd batteries are rated at 1000 mAh; I haven't used these yet. I currently use the ones that Times2Tech used to sell, now sold by Thaddeus. They have worked great (probably 12-14 hrs per charge on 2X, 5MB 200LX with flash card) for over a year now. I no longer charge in the machine except on unusual occasions because the 100 mA charging rate in the 200LX is so slow with these high-capacity batteries. I use a Ni-Cd/NiMH charger from Radio Shack (part# 23-335) which has automatic discharge, and auto-shut-off for normal and high capacity NiCd and NiMH batteries. I like it quite a bit. Anyway, make sure that you're fully charging the batteries. One easy thing to do is to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to restart charging for another 6 hrs.

I can think of two ways to do this. (Both are really the same if you dive into the code.) 1. Get KEYSTUFF from SUPER and before you start 200, stuff the ÝMORE¨ key onto the keyboard. Then when Sysmgr starts up it will assume that you have pressed ÝMORE¨. 2. Get 200MNU from SUPER. It includes a small program caled 200.com which is an overlay for 200 which accepts a command line parameter, stuffing the relevant key onto the keyboard before starting up the full version of 200. You install it by copying 200.com into your path.

DOS-based systems tend to have far fewer system resources than their Windows-based counterparts, so JetBeam for DOS has been designed specifically to require as little OS and CPU resources as posssible. Extended Systems/Counterpoint leveraged its experience in the embedded domain to create a small, compact, robust and full-featured IrDA stack for DOS-based systems. Complete IrDA software solution JetBeam for DOS is a complete primary IrDA protocol stack that meets the IrDA 1.1 specifications. As a primary stack it can both initiate and respond to IR communications at speeds up to 4 Mbps. The stack framer, IrCOMM 9-wire, IrLAP, IrLMP, IAS, Tiny TP, and IrLPT are packed into less than 32 K of code (framer support is available for many popular IR controllers). Using the source code, you can reduce memory requirements even further by altering configuration option. ========== there are pages and pages more. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 28 Nov 1999 12:56:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bill Sprague Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bill Sprague Subject: Re: ÝNEWS¨POST HP200-LX ,Morphy One Comments: To: fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Fred, You wrote: > > Do you know Morphy One? > Some other folks have told us about it (g) You might try http://member.nifty.ne.jp/toyozou/palmpc/release_English.html theres a picture of it there and some specs.

Apparently I posted bad info given to me by Compuserve's tech support earlier. acCIS v4's author and publisher both claim that acCIS v4.0 can access Compuserve through the newer csi servers using the HMI format. Due to the questions we all had about new Compuserve customer access with acCIS, I haven't yet received the acCIS v4.0 software, but when I get it, have established a new Compuserve account and have accessed my new Compuserve account from my HP200LX via acCIS v4.0, I'll post an update to the list. :-) Cheers!

Hi all. About connectivity of 1000CX. If you run Cpack on 1000CX, you can connect 1000CX to PC with Cpack or Transfile. Procedure is as follows. 1.Install Cpack on 1000CX. Remove the line "CG.exe" on app200.bat of Cpack. 2.Run app200.bat on 1000CX. 3.Start filer of Cpack on 1000CX. 4.Run Cpack or Transfile on PC. After these instructions, you can operate 1000CX almost same as 200LX. Baud rate must be same both 1000CX and PC. On filer of 1000CX, push Alt + C and select remote settings, you can set up baud rate.

Not the > same as XT-CE. Hi, There seems to be some confusion regarding this product: CEDOS is a special version of DOS made (by Paragon) for use with the XT-CE emulator for Windows CE. It's actually PTS-DOS (if anybody has heard of that),rebadged for marketing reasons. XT-CE ships with a demo version of CEDOS, and the $9.95 (or whatever) that Paragon quote is to upgrade this demo to the full version. It's pretty useless unless you have XT-CE, although I suppose you could make it work with XTM (the Psion 5 emulator) or DOSEmu (Linux) if you didn't mind seeing references to Windows CE everywhere. You can get the full picture (including screenshots of it running on an HP620LX under XT-CE) at: http://www.penreader.com/cedos.htm Please note that I am not affiliated with the CEDOS product in any way. I merely include a demo of it (as requested by Paragon) with my emulator.

That is correct that 6110/6150 does not have a ir _modem_. But you can use the ir for data if you use a softwaremodem (Nokia Cellular Data Suite 1.2). However Ncds 1.2 will only run on a Win 95/98. Irda on a win 98 laptop is also very hard to set up due to Microsoft has altered something in the irdaprotocol in win98. It needs some register tweaking to work on win 98 laptops. The ir on the 6110/6150 does not even follow the standard irda that Nokia was part of developing. There are pcmcia cards to use the 6110/6150 with a palm and other handheld machines (via cable). I do not know if this pcmcia works on the hplx. But no irda.. So therefore if you want to use irda: Siemens S25 Nokia 7110, 8210, 8850 (8810) Ericsson Sh888, T28 with irda dongle, R320 +some more Ericcsons with the dongle I am sure that the interference problem on the hplx will be solved and that we can use all of the above phones without problems.. -- Martin Bergvill , Narvik Norway -Palmtop friendly sig... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Nov 1999 14:50:04 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Backlight in Europe In-Reply-To: <19991129145745.C26884@bamako.ny-repo-dev.ml.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Mon, 29 Nov 1999, Alvin C.

The status messages make it look like things are happening okay and the home page that comes with the program displays okay, but any incoming pages fail to display. I even downloaded all of the programs again and did a new setup with the same results. Someone else wrote asking about the same problem. I watched for a response, but there were none. I also contacted dasoft support and Avi sent me a nice reply, but it didn't help. If I hadn't seen another similar question, I would think I have done something wrong. It also looks like others are successfully using IBM.net. I also was able to successfully use a previous version (ver. 1??). Help, help!

A flashlight that runs off AA batteries is pretty bulky, though. A lot more so than a Photon light... and as for the other point, many of us bought LXs with no memory or speed upgrades, either, but got them when they became available.

My ISP is > IBM.net (now ATTGLOBAL.net). The ATTGLOBAL problem has me stumped. I use them here in the UK and HV displays pages. I have dialed the New York node 4 times - 2 days it worked and 2 it didn't. Some WWW/LX -ATTGLOBAL users in the US report HV still works fine. I agree with your analysis - the page is requested and and a blank comes back - I think ATTGLOBAL go to get it from a cache, not necessarily the real physical site. Similar problems were reported with desktop browsers... but I have further reorts that *these* are OK now but HV still has a problem. Certainly some ATTGLOBAL nodes behave strangely now and HV gets blank pages!!! Can vary from day to day. The whole issue is too big for me and I have no answer at this time.

It normally needs 64 kb memory resident, but there is a shareware program called "swapmt" which reduces the needed memory to 8 kb.

Let's think this out _all the way_... :) Increasing the screen makes little sense. Horizontally you can add 10-20% so maybe reach 800 pixels. Vertically you can add maybe 30% or 260 pixels in height. The result: 800 x 260 screen - What screen is that? It is neither fish, nor fowl, some weird hybrid probably requiring drivers to display anything. The better resolution wold be 640 x 480, a VGA screen. Yes, I heard about the half VGA (640x240) - thse machines are doing extremely well all over the world. They are called WinCE Dogs.... :-) Another issue you have to become aware of is the manufacturers of the screen. There are no manufacturers that will make a 800 x 260 - at the pixel size used on the Palmtop. This is an odd size in two ways: Extra fine pixle size (I think something like 0.18 inch or whatever it is...) and adding the odd size will mean no one will touch the manufacturing of these screens. So instead of hammering on making the screen larger leave the screen alone and use the margins to add the elecronics required to provide lighting from behind, so when you are in darkened areas you can still use the palmtop.

Compuserve Customer service is NOTORIOUS for giving bad information. In the days when I used their alleged "services" often, I adopted the policy to do the OPPOSITE of what they said to do. Things always workd out fine then. Following their lead was 90% disastrous, and 9.9% just plain wrong, and 0.1% more or less correct. I don't think I exaggerate the percentages much :-) The worst part is that they give the bum steer with an air of confidence, and sometimes even argue with you strongly about something they haven't got a clue. acCIS 4.0 was SPECIFICALLY written for HMI. HMI is the current protocol supported by CIS products. > Due to the questions we all had about new Compuserve customer access with > acCIS, I haven't yet received the acCIS v4.0 software, but when I get it, > have established a new Compuserve account and have accessed my new > Compuserve account from my HP200LX via acCIS v4.0, I'll post an update to > the list. :-) If you established a Compuserve 2000 account, this will not work. This type of account uses yet another protocol which is Web-based. It looks much like AOL, and it seems to be the AOLising "agent" of Compuserve. Considering the committment made by AOL and Compuserve after the buyout to the Compuserve customer base, it seems to me that HMI is not going away any time soon, and will probably be around for years and years. Needless to say, companies have made committments and broken them instantly, so despite my confidence, take that with a grain of salt. However, for now, HMI is well supported. HMI itself is fairly much of a dog. It sucks up lots of resources, it is slow, it is cumbersome, and it is buggy. When I say this, I do not mean acCIS 4.0, but the HMI protocol itself and its manifestations on the CIS servers. I beta tested acCIS 4.0 (and 3.1) and despite much skepticism on my part, I used it satisfactorily for several years. My complaints have noting to do with acCIS 4.0 per se, but with the HMI code in it. That code was given to the author by Compuserve, and it was simply a "black box" - no source code, no opportunity for optimisation, no nothing :) Very frustrating to the author, and beta testers, and ultimately customers. Thomas Rundel, the author of acCIS (all versions) is an excellent programmer and we have engaged his services before to write part of the WWW/LX suite. But all in all, acCIS 4.0 is solid as a rock, works fine on the palmtop, and works with HMI. Compuserve gave you bad information. Unfortunately, it was repeated here and caused concern. Avi M.

There is an article in the Norwegian press today about a new services from our local ISP, Telenor. Up to 4x9600 speed. The cost is also 4x as it uses 4 channels. At first 2x is being advertised. Apparently the only GSM device capable so far of this throughput is the Nokia Cardphone. Which I expect will drain a 200LX. And for a WAP-browser feel, fire up IE or Netscape and check out www.gelon.net.

Telenor Mobil have just launched higher speeds on gsm here in Norway. They have done this by letting the customer use several channels (time slots). I think the speed was 38400 in and 19200 out. You have to pay for datacall*2. However the only "phone" that supports these speeds are the Nokia Card Phone (latest version). According to Telenor Data support they do not know any other "phones" that support this speeds. They do not now if there will be any phones in the near future either. In the specs for the 7110 it says that it supports 14400. According to Data support this is only if your provider increase the size of the timeslot and they will not do that here in Norway. So it seems that there are 2 techologies. 1. Where the provider lets the customer use _several_ timeslots, and 2. Where they increase the _size_ of the timeslots. Only 1 will be implemented here in Norway. Check with your provider which solution they will implement. Also be aware that how this works is not a sure thing..its how I understood the little info I got a hold of.. Btw Telenor and Ericsson have just made a test with the new Umts technology. But this is a new techology which will not be availible for a while (2001?). They will licence it here in Norway probably before the summer so providers can apply for a licence and maybe launch this at the end of next year..(guess/rumor!) Regarding wap..I have not tried it yet.. But if you take a look at http:\\wap.telenor.no (It`s "normal" html) they have a 2.1 mb avi file where they use a 7110 to search for info about Norge/Norway in CapLex (Encyclopedia). I think that the avi shows in real time how much time it takes to connect/find info. The site is in norwegian, but I think the avi is somewhere at the top..not to hard to find.. -- Martin Bergvill , Narvik Norway -Palmtop friendly sig... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 17:03:48 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: GSM cellphone interference with IR - technical stuff MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Mon, 29 Nov 1999 18:13:47 +0000, ccohen5@compuserve.com wrote: > I use my Bosch phone with its custom cable (no IR) and have not > had any interference from the phone transmission.

This is something I have never understood.. Why is it that the US is so far "behind" when it comes to digital cellular phonenetwork? I am not writing this to make fun of anyone. I am just curios why.. We have a lot of US tvseries and films on tv/cinema here. I have always wondered why they used old Motorola flip phones in these films/series. Lately I have seen newer phones like the Motorola wings in a tv serie called "Jag", and also in X-files where they use cellular phones alot. I think they use Nokia a lot.. Here in Norway we have had a cellular phonenetwork for ages. First the scandinavien NMT system which was analog and then gsm 900/1800 for many years now. "Everybody" from the age 12 and up have gsm phones nowadays..(not always a good thing though:-). They sell gsm phone at gasstations/groceryshops and at streetcorners.. But this is not the case over there? I belive that pagers are still "hot"/widespread over there? How are things over there regarding fixed net. Here digital isdn are getting widespread. Also broadband internet via cable (tv) are coming. There are also some radio network (as your Richoet), but its for companys/expencive/in large citys. I would like to have a radiolan on my hplx..

I believe this is a feature addressed by a shareware utility called Buddy (on the SUPER site). Buddy remaps the function keys and requires you to press the key twice to clear the note. Buddy may be overkill for your purposes, since it remaps and alters MANY LX features, usually for the better, but a drastic change nonetheless, especially to the novice (and technoyado-wannabees).

It all makes sense if you think about it. At the very least, if we had an FPU, we could do 'fast math' on the LX. Encryption requires many floating-point-operations/second (FLOPS?). I thought that at least the low bandwidth requirements would overcome the obvious delays imposed by the lack of fast math abilities in the LX.

I wonder if the Morphy One or any other Elan SC400-based palmtop will have enough horsepower to do ssh and/or https. I mean, when you're on AC and can run at 66 or 100MHz, probably, but what about on batteries when you're at 8MHz to keep power consumption down? The Morphy One comes with an MP3 decoder daughterboard...

Maybe there are something in the archive.. I will look to see if I can find something on my machines.. I do not want to put words in Andreas`s mouth, but I think that he said that wap uses not ppp and therefor you can not log on to a wap server as you do with your "normal" isp. Therefore the www could not be used and therefor needed some work with a new communicationmodul to work. But it would be nice to implement this in some way on the hplx. But you have to know how the communication between the wapphone and the wapserver is done. It can be done I am sure. There is a wap browser in the Ericsson Mc218 which is a Psion 5mx clone. Wap is a open protocol so it should be info availible on the net.. I guess I have no really need for a wap browser on hplx since I will have a 7110 soon. But it could be nice to maybe save info I have gotten throug wap by running "Hwap" a Hv clone on the hplx.. How about it Andreas?..You have a 8810 without wap..maybe you could do a "Hwap" for the hplx? I know you think that wap are a little "hyped", but it would be nice to show those Mc218 guys? :-)) There are some wapservices here in Norway, and there will be much more soon.. I guess this is true for many countries.. If you could have "Hwap" on the hplx you could surf wap pages and also do "secure things" such as banktransactions and things like that..

Yes, I have. A friend of mine had a Psion 3a. I remember thinking at the time that the contrast was better than the LX. The 3c that came later wasn't as good. I ought to add that I've had three 200LXs, and my latest one has noticeably better contrast than the previous, so perhaps the later 200's were equal to the 3a's Finally, I have a Garmin GPS III.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I'm looking for a way to connect my Sharp YO-170 electronic organizer to the LX. The Sharp has a PC connector port, and though I don't have the cable for it yet I think I could probably wire the thing. The problem comes in communication. I really only need a straightforward backup util, something that would save in the Sharp format and maybe also as delimited text files-- one-way communication only. I learned the value of backups when my old organizer was destroyed! A net acquaintance has written a Windows util for his Sharp, so I know it can be done, but I'd like to cook up a DOS one for myself. He wrote his in C, and that sounds like it might be a good way to go. Anyone have any hints or tips on where to get started with this little project? By the way, if you're wondering, I generally prefer to carry a less expensive (and thus more expendable) organizer like the Sharp than to use my LX as one. I save the LX for email, documents, and other more interesting tasks. I shudder to think of my LX and all its accessories falling off of my motorcycle on the highway, but when the Sharp went it was no big thing. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Don't these folks share information after > acquisitions? ATTGLOBAL is the organization formerly known as IBMNET. I suspect they have no sharing of information. I posted about this two days ago. This problem really stumped us. ATT seems to have fixed it for desktops that use Netscape and MSIE, but I do not know about other browsers, except HV. With HV, if you dial-in in the US, then mostly you get blank pages, no matter which URL you type in. If you dial in to any international numbers of ATTGLOBAL HV works fine. Exception: It appears that Turkey node of ATTGLOBAL shares the same problem as US node. Helmuth worked with ATT Tech support and made exhaustive tests - and it shows that dialing into US nides produces blank pages. There was a suggestion that it may be the action of some proxies, but ATT Techies say there is no proxies used. The further suggestion was that the machines that utilize the browsers that work somehow have some proxies setup in background - I really do not understand enough about it to sound intelligent, forgive me. So, all I can say is that we are stumped, and it seems ATT has given up because it works with Netscape and MSIE. I speculate maybe it has to do with the identification of the browser? If the ATT Webserver sees a MSIE or Netscape browsers it dishes up a good page, otherwise it gives a blank page. Again, this is total speculation, I have no way to prove it or even test it. Avi M.

Why is it that the US is so > far "behind" when it comes to digital cellular phonenetwork? I am not > writing this to make fun of anyone. I am just curios why.. Because the US is one country with more than 250 million people. Several incompatible and competing networks can easily grow and survive in such a huge market. There would be no chance for such incompatibility in a market of say 5 or 8 million people total. The other reason: Many many years ago the 1800MHz band was allocated to several type of communications. When GSM started growing they jumped into the 1800 band without regard to what else was using it in the world. This meant that GSM in the US could not enjoy international connectivity and so the development of these phones lagged in the US, it gave the analog and digital networks a bit ore time to take over. So GSM is catching up, but it is problematic because of the multiple bands. I really do not think it is "behind", just the path of development was very different. Of course I can say that Norway is terribly "behind" on analog and non-GSM digital telephony, see? It is just a different path. If anything, cellular telephony developed in the US a long time before it began in Europe, and so the networks had time to establish themselves. Also, with more experience, it became obvious that better cellular telephony can be had using digital and GSM. Europe began to develop these AFTER it was clear that analog cell phones are problematic. So there is an advantage, clearly. > We have a lot of US tvseries and films on tv/cinema here.
