Comments: To: dmb10@SWBELL.NET Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sure. What would yo like to know? Recent posts give a description of InfoSelect's main functions. To them I would add that InfoSelect can be used as a TSR, it can copy the entire foreground screen (but not part of it), it can paste any number of its note windows into the foreground program, and a utility it comes with allows it to only take 7k of main memory as a TSR. Searching inside large notes is very fast, and Find and Replace is pretty powerful (it lets you search and replace hard returns and extended ASCII characters). Also, it can do line drawing with the cursor, it can extract lines of information from all notes into a new note (though this has a few limitations), and one of my favorite fuctions, it allows you to create up to 8 windows which can pop up a the push of a key (useful for hard to remember commands or reference). It lets you do approximate searches. It has a bookmark function. It also recognizes many Wordstar and WordPerfect commands, and it has a type of undo command. And of course there is more, but these are the functions I use frequently. Sorry for the rambling style.

A mail reading program claiming compliance with this specification must be able to distinguish 'encoded-word's from 'text', 'ctext', or 'word's, according to the rules in section 6, anytime they appear in appropriate places in message headers. It must support both the "B" and "Q" encodings for any character set which it supports. The program must be able to display the unencoded text if the character set is "US-ASCII".

Let's look at the issue of `Lawyer's hours per palmtop to be produced'. If palmtops are `worth' $500 each, and if the hardware costs about half of that, we have about 1 lawyer's hour to play with for each palmtop you are going to build, not counting _all_ other costs. My guess is that even opening the issue in a large corporation would cost a few thousand hours. Can you imagine the number of documents involved in properly tying down the `release' of `patents or copy right inventions'? My guess is that there would be at least _hundreds_ of documents involved, and that each document would require legal review, redraft, ... Thousands of hours would disappear, (all to no particular profit to HP, might I add, unless they not only fully billed out their legal costs, but added a mark-up on them). It seems to me clear that you couldn't make the units for less than about twice what they cost HP to produce (they were in the business already, after all) and if HP couldn't make money on them it seems to me _very_ unlikely that someone else could. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 11:17:18 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Berrier, Michael" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Berrier, Michael" Subject: unsubscribe MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Please unsubcribe me from the HPLX-L list, thank you mit freundlichen Gruessen / with best regards, Michael Berrier ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 00:23:39 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , micro@SMARTT.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Don Chow Subject: Re: Look out LX, it's a Linux PDA Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It seems that my original post got lost somewhere, at least it's not in the Digest (undigested? :) so here it is again (sorry) in response to the question of whether it has a keyboard (it doesn't) The "YOPY" Linux PDA has: 4" TFT colour LCD & backlight 206 MHz 32-bit ARM RISC CPU 32 MB RAM Mobile Linux OS Embedded browser & email client CF slot MP3 Player 4 Mbps IrDA transceiver RS232C & USB port 1400mA rechargeable LiIon battery (Palm-like) stylus & handwriting recognition etc. etc. have a look at and It's apparently slated for release this summer, at around $500(!)

First, we have just ordered LOTS of 200LX serial cables which we expect to receive at the end of May. This is good news in itself because it means there will be enough 200LX cables for the foreseeable future. Now we will be able to now attach the 200LX serial plug (rather than a 9 pin plug) to the Jornada keyboard we sell. (Those who already bought a Jornada keyboard from us or who order a Jornada keyboard now for the 200LX with standard serial port will be able to upgrade at under our cost for the cable, labor, and shipping, probably $20). Secondly, Mack discovered and wrote a driver for a product, literally a black box, which interfaces between a standard, desktop, Windows PS/2 keyboard and the 200LX. The good news is that Mack has both a serial and an IR connection working. So, the way it works: 1. Install Mack's custom keyboard software onto the 200LX 2. Connect standard desktop PS/2 keyboard (or a portable one which we will also sell) to the box 3. Connect the box to the palmtop either with a serial or IR cable. Both cables plug into the box. The 200LX of the serial cable will have a 200LX plug. The 200LX end of the IR cable has a little IR embedded eye. The IR cable is itself both movable and stiff so that it easily allows the user to line up the two IR eyes. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 09:37:29 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Bluchess Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I've gotten four requests now for copies of the BLUCHESS chess program, which I've sent out already.

FW4 is still an excellent tool and frankly I much prefer it to the standard fare Windows word processors. It is a shame that the Windows world has standardized on only three rather bloated word processors and ignored the potential in programmes such as Framework, Symphony, GrandView, etc. The focus on fonts, graphics, etc. has overshadowed the lack of innovation in basic program functionality. Pretty presentations are not necessarily well written or insightful presentations. All of the old sayings about sizzle rather than steak come readily to mind. Given the interest that the outliner thread variations have generated, there might be some benefit in doing a series of reports and/or reviews on some of the old DOS classics. I suspect that many of us have kept our 200LX's because there are no good alternatives, portable or otherwise, to the DOS programmes that we rely upon in our daily lives. I am painfully aware of the various technical difficulties with the WinCE alternatives (dismal battery life, overly large form factors, etc). However, I would give up my 200LX for an updated 200LX size computer that provided programmes with the same solid basic functionality as Framework, Symphony, GrandView, etc. In other words, like most of us on this list, I want both real portability and heavy weight programmes. Again, thanks Longen for your many contributions to the list.

I talked to Hitachi (the screen makers) at Cebit in February, because I wanted to know if it's possible to get replacement screens for the LX. There was no person available so they told me they would tell the person who can answer my question that he shall call me back. No call until now.

AFAIK the numeric pad on the LX is the same as the as the top-row numbers on a "normal" keyboard. If you have the manual, there should be more info, including key combinations to produce the equivalent of the numeric pad keys. If you don't have a manual, I believe Thaddeus still has some available.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I asked this a long time ago, but maybe there are some fresh leads. I'd like a simple analog clock display on my 200LX ... similar to the one shown in the Appt app, but I'd like it to be full screen. I also have the one from SUPER, from Wild West Software, but I was wondering if there was another that didn't have the busy screen or startup logos. Anyone know of such a program (it obviously has to run CGA ... there's a freeware(?) program called anclock2.zip, but it requires EGA). Even better if someone has source code so I modify it to draw a line on the face of the clock that bisects the angle between 12 and the hour hand (indicating South and North). Reason is that it gets so hot and sunny in Southern California, and I'd like to use the analog clock to 1) determine a compass direction and then 2) park my car in a location where I expect the shade to fall when I leave (usually several hours later). I have a simple drawing on Notepad: N NW >>>>>|>>>>> NE Shadow Motion \.....|...../ Morning \....|..../ Evening \...|.../ \..|../ \.|./ \|/ W <---------+---------> E /|\ / | \ / | \ Sunset / | \ Sunrise / | \ SW <<<<|<<<< SE Sun Motion And if I orient this drawing correctly (ie point "N" to the North), I can get a quick idea of where the shadow will be moving. As simple as this sounds, it sometimes gets confusing as you're turning around the parking areas. If I had source code, I could actually put the above drawing directly on the face of the clock ... a great little programming project for someone with time on their hands (if you'll excuse the pun).

Ward" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii You can use the OPEN program on the SUPER site, but there are some IFs and BUTs. OPEN allows a DOS command line to specify a known file-type (of which wk1 is one), after which OPEN invokes the built-in application that goes along with the file type. OPEN only works from within SysMgr ... which means you can't use it outside of the "200" command (and that includes MaxDOS). Also, it requires a filename so you can't just invoke the 123 app without providing at least a dummy wk1 file, and if the filename is long enough (as in most cases), you also need to expand the keyboard buffer because OPEN stuffs the buffer to make the LX think someone is pressing keys .... and the default buffer is usually too small. KEYSTUFF (also on SUPER) includes a buffer expander called kbuf128.sys that'll work .... but any buffer expander will do (including the one that comes with Mack's double speed driver). - Longden "Terry A.

I asked this a long time ago, but maybe there are some fresh leads. I'd like a simple analog clock display on my 200LX ... similar to the one shown in the Appt app, but I'd like it to be full screen. I also have the one from SUPER, from Wild West Software, but I was wondering if there was another that didn't have the busy screen or startup logos. Anyone know of such a program (it obviously has to run CGA ... there's a freeware(?) program called anclock2.zip, but it requires EGA). Even better if someone has source code so I modify it to draw a line on the face of the clock that bisects the angle between 12 and the hour hand (indicating South and North). Reason is that it gets so hot and sunny in Southern California, and I'd like to use the analog clock to 1) determine a compass direction and then 2) park my car in a location where I expect the shade to fall when I leave (usually several hours later). I have a simple drawing on Notepad: N NW >>>>>|>>>>> NE Shadow Motion \.....|...../ Morning \....|..../ Evening \...|.../ \..|../ \.|./ \|/ W <---------+---------> E /|\ / | \ / | \ Sunset / | \ Sunrise / | \ SW <<<<|<<<< SE Sun Motion And if I orient this drawing correctly (ie point "N" to the North), I can get a quick idea of where the shadow will be moving. As simple as this sounds, it sometimes gets confusing as you're turning around the parking areas. If I had source code, I could actually put the above drawing directly on the face of the clock ... a great little programming project for someone with time on their hands (if you'll excuse the pun). Thanks. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 13:15:21 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Analog clock/compass program?

Both egrep and xgrep (from simtel, I believe) seem to work in terms of setting an errorlevel depending on the result. Of the two, xgrep is smaller, only 3.3k. Email me if you can't find a copy...

Amongst other LX motherboard problems, I think there is an inbuilt inverter Circuit that converts the 3v battery into 5v and/or 12v and for some reason it becomes less efficient and draws more current to the point where it dies - possibly kicked off by using hi drain PC cards, old 12v cards or a certain ACE doublespeed card - any other opinions on this?? I have had 2 standard 200lx go through this less & less time out of new batteries then die while using a combination of the above cards. My 200 ds/32m runs 2-4 days of heavy use (with no card) on 2year old Shier NiMh batteries where my standard backup 200 will go over a week - or several months in storage. Try switching to NiMh batteries for longer life - there are "POWERhaus" brand NiMh 1300mAh batteries available in Wellington that are OK (but not the best) To measure battery current drain insert your meter wires into the battery compartment (cover off) Stick some tinfoil together with doublesided tape and with your current meter wires connected to each side - insert this between one battery & its spring.

I tried the following batch file on a Win95 system: @echo off echo xxx | find "xxx" if errorlevel 2 echo two if errorlevel 1 echo one if errorlevel 0 echo zero echo ooo | find "xxx" if errorlevel 2 echo two if errorlevel 1 echo one if errorlevel 0 echo zero Using DOS5/FIND, both tests will result in zero. Using DOS622/FIND, the 2nd test will correctly show "one" and then "zero". So it appears DOS 6.22 added the additional logic without any added size (probably a first for MS). Unfortunately, the DOS622/FIND will generate an "Incorrect DOS version" on our LX. But there's still "xgrep" on the simtel site: http://www.simtel.net/simcgi-bin/dosfind.cgi?queryinput=xgrep Freeware and it works on DOS 5.0. - Longden Ed Keefe on 05/03/2000 04:08:35 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Ed Keefe To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: Question about FIND.EXE and errorlevel Norbert_Giese@T-ONLINE.DE asked about errorlevel codes in FIND My DOSHELP.GDB file says...

Apparently, there are some persistent areas of memory that don't get initialized during a reboot, and some corruption in those regions can have an effect on power management. Usual method of draining (after backing up the internal drive) is to pull the AAs AND the backup lithium, and then 1) let the unit sit overnight or 2) press and hold down the "On" key for a minute to drain the capacitors. Then replace the batteries, restore the backups and cross your fingers. - Longden Stefan Lombaard on 05/02/2000 01:02:39 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Stefan Lombaard To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Battery drain I have recently purchased a 2nd hand d-speed, 8Mb 200LX from Thaddeus.

I also recall early versions of 123 not accepting a worksheet filename on the command line (a stupid arrogance on Lotus' part .... everyone else was accepting that as a standard which Lotus chose to ignore, being the market leader at the time). However, the OPEN command works like a keyboard macro and acts like you pressed all the relevant LX keys to call up 123 and then do a /FR on the worksheet. As Fred pointed out, only the Keystuff program is really needed, tho I believe the reason I went with OPEN and the kbuf128.sys component of Keystuff was because OPEN was smaller and didn't load itself into memory, and was more useful to me (I don't use PNS). - Longden Barry on 05/02/2000 08:12:47 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Barry To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Lotus from the command line It's been a while so I might remember this wrong but my memory of Lotus is that it won't take a file name on the command line.

Hiya, Barry! (G) Here's what I just captured, altho finding HELP without a search function made it, well, old fashioned (G): To retrieve a file when you start 1-2-3 from the operating system prompt, include a -w and the name of the file. For example, enter 123 -wsales to start 1-2-3 and retrieve a file named SALES.WK1 from the default directory. (You can use a full path, for example, 123 -WC:\PARIS\SALES, to retrieve a file from a directory other than the default directory.) I never was a big spreadsheet user - just a few needs but one day at the "adopt this or we throw it out pile" at work was 123 V 2.4 and I gave it a good home and keep moving from desktop to desktop. Included all documentation. I use 123 on the HP200 to keep my exercise/outdoor info and some of my dad's finances. As for loading stuff from the command line, I use Buddy and point and click to load 123 sheets. But I do have a number of keystuff "macros" in my filer.ini including a 123 loader - but again, this is a point and click from Filer, not from within another dos application. I also created a buddy assisted COMMA loader using lxbatch but never cleaned it up or created an easy configuration method - I have to "recompile" it each time I want to add another EXTension. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 11:11:50 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Albert J.

Most PCMCIA Fax/Modem cards for the Lx200 _are not_ cellular compatible. For example, I once investigated a similar link for the Nokia 616x, and found that there were _no_ modems that were compatible both with that series of phone and with the 200. As far as I understand it, low power modems work best on the 200, and most cellular compatible modems are not low power. In any event, you need much more than just a cable and proper software, you need the combination of hardware, cable(s) (often more than one), software and---perhaps most important of all---compatible service from a service provider.

Londgen, if egrep or xgrep do the job, that would simply be the best choice. I have not yet got a copy to test. The small size is impressive. Ed, the lines in my test batch file are: FIND /i "search string" test.dat IF errorlevel 1 ECHO 1 IF errorlevel 0 ECHO 0 and it never echos 1. Just for info: FIND.EXE from PC-DOS 3.3 and 4.0 do not run but claim a wrong DOS version. I tested Larry' proposal but FIND creates a file no matter whether a search string is found or not. If not found, the file contains one line of ---------- x where x is the file name given with FIND (can include drive and path as well). This lead me to a more tricky way to try, which might be of interest for those who like batch programming. If you own a utility that can replace a byte or string in a file by another string, it will do the trick. (I have asked for such utility in a different context and Ed proposed XLATE, which I could not yet get. But one of you (thanks) gave me a copy of ALTER from Rob Flor, which seems to be free. ALTER (8k) is a DOS | PIPE batch utitity.) Consider FIND /i /c "string" test.dat > temp.bat which returns --------- TEST.DAT: 17 in find.bat. (Note that the file name is upper case now.) Here 17 is the count of findings, which can be 0 as well. If you can replace the string preceeding the count by a string SET temp= you will end up with file temp.bat containing SET temp=17 When you execute it, you have got an environment variable TEMP, which you can test with an IF in your batch file.

I'd like to get some opinions about old software. A discussion about this would be interesting. An argument wouldn't. Let's see what happens. When someone has an old computer that can use an old program that is no longer available commercially or any other legal way, that begins to seem to me like an abuse of copyright laws. I am totally in favor of laws that allow authors to profit from their work. But I'm beginning to think these laws shouldn't go beyond that. When the author is no longer attempting to profit from an older program and seems to have no intention of doing so, that doesn't change the users of older computer's need for such programs. It seems there are 2 author's rights involved here. The right to profit and the right to own, control, deny, etc. I think laws that protect the first right are important and should exist and be followed. But I'm beginning to think that when there is no longer any profit involved, the law should stay out of it. Old programs, like old books, become part of us; part of who we are and what we are. They're part of the definition of our civilization. I think it's wrong to pass laws to give authors the right to deny that to us. I think that's as great a wrong as not allowing the author to profit from his work. The correct way to deal with bad laws is to change them. But that won't happen soon and by the time it happened (and I suspect that in time it will happen) a lot of old computers would have been rendered nearly useless if these laws had been followed. That hasn't happened because to a large extent these laws are ignored. There are a LOT of people using old Ataris, Commodores, Tandy computers and others with copyrighted software that they can't possibly get through legal means at any price. But they make it freely available to one another. And I'm glad they do. I think maybe some of the old dos software that can be used on the 200lx but is no longer available for purchase should be considered the same way. Not by this listserve. That makes it an easy target for lawsuits and I don't think it would be wise to discuss it here except on this theoretical basis. But to deny someone a program that he wants and needs but isn't available to buy just seems wrong to me. What do you think?

In pre-emptive multitasking, the operating system slices up time segments and parcels them out to the multiple running programs; the programs see a continuous time block at an apparently slower operating speed. "Co-operative" multitasking is called that because it requires the running program to co-operate, relinquishing the CPU periodically so that the OTHER "running" programs (in quotes because they AREN'T running, until the original program relinquishes the resources) can actually DO something themselves. On a single-user system, the difference is like night and day. For example, running the latest OS on my Powerbook - MacOS 9.0.4 - with "co-operative" multitasking, the software that downloads images from my digital camera's Smart Media card does not understand the concept of multitasking AT ALL. I can do NOTHING else while it transfers files. On a ten-year-old Amiga, I can play games, process images, create desktop publishing documents, download e-mail, and browse the web at the same time; NO PROGRAM can monopolize the system resources (two exceptions: "disk doctor" type programs that require the drive to be in an unchanging state to doctor it, and benchmarking programs that won't measure accurately if other things are happening at the same time.) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Saklad mailto:jimdoc@iname.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 21:28:31 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jim Saklad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jim Saklad Subject: Re: GPS Comments: To: Mike Kopplin In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" >Since we're on this subject, has anyone else tried out their GPS now that >SA has been terminated?

(G) I will add the text of the US Constitution: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;" So one may have to interpret "to promote the progress of Science and useful arts" and ask if forcing users of older machines for which useful software is not legally available is "promoting progress" because if they don't eventually buy newer software for a reasonable price, would they secondarily be impeding progress of science? (G) Actually, I've asked this question, too. Patent and copyright are intended to reward their creators but only (??) to help the progress of arts and science. Might there be leeway to say that if they are withholding useful "product" and depriving the public for no good, reasonable reasons of older art and science, that it a misapplication? Might there be an inherent right of the public to be able to purchase or make use of that older science - clearly for a reasonable cost. But withholding it, it that permitted?

If it works the only difference is to use a Port=-1 and a ModemInit=AT&F statement in the ÝMy-ISP¨ setup section in your WWW.CFG. For this you have to edit the www.cfg file with any text editor availlable. This is from WWWDOC.TXT : 4.8 USING THE INFRARED PORT AND IrDA Starting with WWW.EXE version 2.1, WWW/LX supports the built-in infrared port of the palmtop and can talk the IrDA protocol. There is an increasing number of cellular phones with built-in modems that can be used that way. WWW/LX has been tested with the Nokia 8810 (firmware version 4.5 or higher required) and Ericsson SH888. Other phones may work as well. Here is how to set up an IrDA connnection: - Configure a setup entry in WWW.CFG so that "Port=-1" - Set Baud=38400 for a double speed or Baud=19200 for a regular palmtop - Place the phone so that the IR ports face each other - Set the phone to IR mode - Start WWW.EXE Note that the infrared hardware of the palmtop does not seem to be 100% compatible with those of the phones, so there are many transmission errors. The IrDA protocol and some tricks we added to improve error recovery should compensate for that in most cases, but we cannot guarantee that it will always work.

I think the root problem is that the concept of copyright was never meant to apply to computer software, since software hadn't been invented yet. There were lots of discussions around this in the '80's. Software was "copyrighted" because no one could think of better legal model for protecting it, and no one ever got around to inventing one. I think you're right, we need a new law. But not a change to existing copyright law--you wouldn't want to permit plagiarism of Henry James or Herman Hesse just because they're "old." We need a new law to apply to software, maybe something of a hybrid of patent and copyright, so that it would expire and still protect the author's right to profit. -George > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 12:43:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: OSX Comments: To: Jim Saklad MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I appreciate the explanation but I'm aware of the difference.

My point wasn't that preemptive multitasking wasn't better. I agree that it is better even on a single user system. But I don't think a non-premptive system is unreasonable on a single user system. The difference isn't too important for the average user, which is who single user systems are written for. Power users can take care of themselves. I guess the current terminology is probably "cooperate" and "preemtive" but I grew up with "preemptive" and "non-preemptive". I guess it's just what you're used to. I haven't had to concern myself with either, recently, so I haven't kept up with the terminology.

I just did a little quick web reasearch on patents and you're right about the 20 year period for patents filed after June 8, 1995. Patents filed before that date expire in 17 years. The exception is design patents (I'm not sure of the exact distinction here) which expire after 14 years. The change was made by treaty at the GATT conference at that time in Uraguay. (I think it's Uraguay right. I can't find the reference now.) There is also a provision that causes patents to expire earlier if the fees associated with them are not maintained. I'm not sure what these fees are or how this works. I didn't read that far. I found a statement that says simply that 17 year patents are not renewable. I can't find anything about other patents being renewable. I got the information from the following links and from links I found there: http://wwwsecure.law.cornell.edu/topics/patent.html http://www.nolo.com/keyword/patents_home.html http://www.nolo.com/encyclopedia/faqs/pct/pct8.html#FAQ-306 Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 13:04:56 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: CGA Clock with source Comments: To: Longden Loo MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I did a search on "clock" and found it.

(G) Smart move. :) Even though the thrust of what you've said seems to maybe agree with me, it's really a different subject. I think we can assume that the law is currently on the side of the author of an old program, whatever the Constitution might say. The law gives total control to the copyright holder. The law allows him to withold his product if he chooses. That's true, whatever the Constitution might say. I guess I agree that "promoting the progress of Science and useful arts" is a good thing. But I also thing the principle that people should get paid for their work is important. I think that's all that copyright laws should be about. But I think they should end there. Laws that let an author withhold the product of his mind after it stops making money for him are counter-productive. Let's just be thankful that the signers of the constitution didn't copyright it and then force us to stop using it when it didn't make them any money. :) Barry > I will add the text of the US Constitution: > > "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for > limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their > respective Writings and Discoveries;" > > So one may have to interpret "to promote the progress of Science and > useful arts" and ask if forcing users of older machines for which useful > software is not legally available is "promoting progress" because if > they don't eventually buy newer software for a reasonable price, would > they secondarily be impeding progress of science?

That sounds like you were caught up in the fear of the moment. Slow down or better, stop... and look around first... What you did is an understandable reaction, but it is at once exaggerated and insufficient. Let me explain: 1. If you wanted to eradicate the malicious script then just eliminating VBS files is not enough - you should also get rid of VBE stuff. Since the virus infects email systems, you should delete all email systems you have on your machine. The virus also puts itself into numerous other "venues" to act from, so all of them must be deleted too. See how nonsensical this can become? And BTW, you may have eliminated some necessary and good scripts... Hope you have a backup. 2. All this still will not eradicate the virus. You see, it puts itself into the registry of your Windows machine, and is "revived" on each reboot (and with Windows, God knows reboots happen with some frequency! :-) ...) So to really wipe out the virus - get rid of the registry too! But this is really total nonsense, see? So as I said wiping out the VBS files and others is not enough. It is also an exaggerated reaction because the virus does not fly into your computer and starts working as it lands. YOU HAVE YO OPEN THE ATTACHMENT! When you do, the VBScrip starts up and delivers it deadly payload. Until then, nothing. Now if your email item says in the subject "ILOVEYOU", and the email says "check the LOVELETTER attachment" then remember this: RESIST the temptation, resist the command, DO NOT open the attachment. Just DELETE the email, empty the trash folder.. If you open the attachment, you will be infected. If you delete the email you will have no ill effects. So that is why I am saying that the reaction you had was insufficient to clean the virus, and exaggerated, because it is really simple to guard yourself from that virus. But I completely understand your reaction, and totally empathize with you. BTW, I got an email like this from my friend Bernard Torbik. He is a nice enough man, but not known to me as a "lovey-dovey" guy - so when his email proclaimed "ILOVEYOU", I smiled and tohught it was a new merchandising campaign, something... But the attachment was wweird. It went into the registry etc, so I checked on the Net - and sure enough, it is a bad bug. By mid day on Thu is shut down many computer systems all over the world, mostly Europe and Asia, and it has arrived in the US with a vengeance. It was reported that the estimates of experts is that as many as 80% of all mail systems in the world are infected. Lovely! BTW, I _will_ plug the benefit of working with Post/LX and the palmtop in this situation - it is totally impervious to the bug. I could open and check the attachment and so on with no ill effects on the system... Best regards, Avi M.

It mails itself to everyone in the address book. It comes with the subject I Love You, and the attachment loveletterforyou.txt.vbs". It also has the ability to download an executable, which when run can steal passwords. Here is the link with a preliminary description and extra.dats/drvs: http://vil.nai.com/villib/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98617 Characteristics: This is a VBScript worm with virus qualities. This worm will arrive in an email message with this format: Subject "ILOVEYOU" Message "kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me." Attachment "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs" If the user runs the attachment the worm runs using the Windows Scripting Host program. This is not normally present on Windows 9x or Windows NT unless Internet Explorer 5 is installed. When the worm is first run it drops copies of itself in the following places : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSKERNEL32.VBS C:\WINDOWS\WIN32DLL.VBS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.VBS It also adds the registry keys : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Run\MSKernel32=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSKernel32.vbs HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \RunServices\Win32DLL=C:\WINDOWS\Win32DLL.vbs in order to run the worm at system startup. The worm replaces the following files: *.JPG *.JPEG *.MP3 *.MP2 with copies of itself and it adds the extension .VBS to the original filename. So PICT.JPG would be replaced with PICT.JPG.VBS and this would contain the worm. The worm also overwrites the following files: *.VBS *.VBE *.JS *.JSE *.CSS *.WSH *.SCT *.HTA with copies of itself and renames the files to *.VBS. The worm creates a file "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.HTM" which contains the worm and this is then sent to the IRC channels if the mIRC client is installed. This is accomplished by the worm replacing the file SCRIPT.INI. After a short delay the worm uses Microsoft Outlook to send copies of itself to all entries in the address book. The mails will be of the same format as the original mail. This worm also has onother trick up it's sleeve in that it tries to download and install an executable file called WIN-BUGSFIX.EXE from the Internet. This exe file is a password stealing program that will email any cached passwords to the mail address MAILME@SUPER.NET.PH In order to facilitate this download the worm sets the start-up page of Microsoft Internet Explorer to point to the web-page containing the password stealing trojan. The email sent by this program is as follows : -------------copy of email sent----------- From: goat1@192.168.0.2To: mailme@super.net.ph Subject: Barok... email.passwords.sender.trojan X-Mailer: Barok... email.passwords.sender. trojan---by: spyder Host: Ýmachine name¨ Username: Ýuser name¨ IP Address: Ývictim IP address¨ RAS Passwords:...Ývictim password info¨ Cache Passwords:...Ývictim password info¨ -------------copy of email sent----------- The password stealing trojan is also installed via the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Run\WIN-BUGSFIX to autorun at system startup. After it has been run the password stealing trojan copies itself to WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WinFAT32.EXE and replaces the registry key with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Run\WinFAT32=WinFAT32.EXE (C) 2000, Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated Companies.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > 1. Why do you need it and in what way do you use it? Don't know that I need it, but I use several regularly. At work, I use an Accton card and LXTCP frequently for network troubleshooting. The IP address I have assigned to my LX is one of two trusted ip's that will get into some systems I administer (the other one being my desktop). Portable administrative capability has been invaluable. I also use it as a portable flash card reader, although this is a two step process, copying from the flash to my T2T drive, then pop in the accton and connect to the LX in ftp server mode. On my home network, I connect to my ISP's newsserver and news.hplx.net to follow some newsgroups. (occasionally at work too :) For backup purposes, I use the PERL mirror package to keep a mirror copy of my LX on one of my systems. The ftp server in LXTELNET makes this possible. Over a network this is very quick. Not as fast as backing up to a flash card maybe, but I don't have an extra large card lying around. I also will do some websurfing, email, etc after crawling into bed, or when I'm too lazy to get up in the morning. Then there's also my LX palmtop webserver that has been running on an Accton card for over a year. There's more, but those are the highlights. > 2. How reliable is it? After switching to LXCIC (Stefan Peichl) and the LXETH drivers (Rod Whitby) I have no troubles at all. My LX server has only had problems 3 or 4 times in the past year, and only because the power went out. > 3. How much battery drain? Some, but no where near any modem I've ever used. I've been online a couple hours before with no problem. > 4. How difficult was it to install and start using it? I found it easier to configure than dosppp for LXTCP. In WWW/LX it was a breeze. I am familiar with setting up systems on a network however, and I also use static IP's. Dynamic IP's would probably be more problematical. > 5. Would you recommend it?

If someone wrote some thorough, easy to follow documentation on installing and configuring drivers, and how to set it up for some of the popular software, and then forced the buyers to read it, maybe not.

PDU stands for Protocol Data Unit. SMS-PDU stands for Short Message System-Protocol Data Unit and means, the SMS is encoded as PDU. The SMS-PDU contains the encoded and packed 7bit message and several layers for routing information, validity period, status request and the like. PDU.COM converts a text SMS to a SMS-PDU or a SMS-PDU to a text SMS. That's all. It has nothing to do with the mobile's phone book.

Accton's card is big battery drain. EN2216 is 110mA @5V. Socket communication's LP-E is lower batter drain. I don't remember exactly but at least LP-E is less than 40mA @5V. >4. How difficult was it to install and start using it? In japan, some user reports the problem on recent version of EN2216.

On the HPLX.net site is a link to an article about linking the 200lx to a GPS locator. The author mentioned that he could not continue using his old cable made from a CD audio cable (the small connector) using pins 2, 3 and 5 on the HP 200LX. Well that provided the solution that I needed. The audio connector I retrieved from my AWE32 sound card linked to the CD-ROM drive, and I had an old laplink serial cable (9 pin female d-shell connector) which I snipped down the middle. The 700LX manual provided the connection config (quite obvious really). HP pin 2 to PC pin 3 (send vs receive) HP pin 3 to PC pin 2 (send vs receive) HP pin 5 to PC pin 5 (ground) The CD-connector plugs in tightly into the LX, without having to force it in. Then I had to let the two computers communicate. Using Hyperterminal on the PC (P II 266MHz) configuring it for Direct Com2 connection: No hardware flow control, 115KBps connnection and the Data Comm app on the 700LX, I could send and receive files using ZModem very nicely. All this reminded me of the DOS days when this was the way to go to surf the BBS's and stuff....

The issue has to do with getting a piece of software to `misbehave' and thru that misbehavior to get the effect of `executing' some code, be it in an attachment or elsewhere. Indeed, IIRC, the `Morris worm' that started off this wonderful tradition, exploited a fault in the `normal' reading sequence. So, while I think it is surely _very_ difficult to find an exploitable error and then to exploit it, I have _no doubt whatsoever_ that there are explotable errors in all browsers (they're complicated pieces of code, and the chances that they are 100% `right' are 0). Admittedly, stupid gaping holes like those that plague Outlook are mostly confined to software that grows in the pure air of Redmond, but I'm afraid that there are likely countless other---hopefully smaller---holes that will plague all of us for a good while yet. So, I surely agree that not opening any unknown attachments is a `necessary' policy, I'm afraid that it may not always be sufficient. I do think that it would probably be sufficient, at the current state of the art, to treat all messages as pure ascii text, and not allow them to be `interpreted' by any complex code. Of course this rules out all active java, javascript and other forms of HTML elaborations. But it should feel perfectly normal to lots of HP200 users, as reading messages as straight ascii is an everyday activity for lots of them. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 10:49:17 -0100 Reply-To: paulocustodio@yahoo.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paulo Custodio Subject: X-Finder + Xfs Comments: cc: RXF10242@nifty.ne.jp I have just tried to setup X-Finder with Xfs to be able to copy files between the Palmtop and the Windows-98 PC through the serial link.

Detailed steps: - download xfr11b5.zip, overwrite your R.10 finder.exm with the new one in this archive (save a backup just in case!) - download xfs.zip, extract the xfs.exe to any directory in the Win-PC - connect both computers with the serial cable - run xfs.exe on the Win-PC - open X-Finder, check the remote settings (Menu-Remote), press F5 (goto), write "*c:\", and the root of the Win-PC C: drive appears in the X-Finder window That's it!

The Menus are "distorted" since they use Japanese fonts/words. You have to presume that many of the functions and function keys mirror those on the HP itself and go with it. For instance, F9 is OPEN. Or just use the OPEN button and find a desktop copy of your files and view them. Work with a copy of any database file (so you don't blow your only good backup) while you learn the functions by experimenting. I generally use it just to view things. It does not do Appointment files. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 11:32:12 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: WARNING!

Don't forget web-based e-mail! That's pretty safe too! Really? Please try it - but make sure to take a full backup of your entire machine first! :-) (Don't try .. it'll infect your machine...) let's put the thinking caps on: When you view your web-based email using _your browser_, running on _your machine_, the stuff you see is downloaded to _your machine_ so _your browser_ can "paint" it on the screen. When you click on the link to the attachment, the browser dutifully downloads it to _your machine_ from the server, and opens up that attachment file on _your machine_. Boom!!! You are infected! The misconception is that what you see on your screen from Web-based email is NOT ON YOUR machine. Yeah, right! In order to "paint" the stuff on your screen your borwser must download the information and put it on YOUR MACHINE, then paint it. Check your cache! With email on your machine, clicking on the link doe the attachment simply brings up a LOCAL FILE into memory. When you click on an attachment with Web-based email you bring into memory a REMOTE File - but both end up in the memory of your mahcine, both are activated because they are .EXEs, and both have the same lethal payload and consequences. The reason Post/LX is safe from that particular virus is that Post/LX does not automatically opens the file in the type it is, i.e. if the attachment is a JPEG, you must activate LXPIC or some other viewer, if it is an executable, you must specifically run it. (Of course, even if you run VB Scripts on the palmtop it is meaningless - there is no VB that I know that can run that script on the palmtop.

You have to have VB DLLs in order for the script to really start working. For a THEORETICAL example ONLY, you can open the attachment with Notepad and no damage will occur (PLEASE DO NOT DO IT!

It takes some definite amount of time to consciously form an association between an attached file and its "viewer", i.e. run a program that open some attchement file. Many people get very lazy, and Redmond jumped in with a solution: We'll let Windows do the legwork for you. This of course is part of the environment allowing viruses to spread so easily. Now if someone calculated the amount of time it takes to form the association consciouly vs. the amount of time it takes to clean your machine from viruses, and the value of lost data, I suspect that the conclusions are completely supporting what you say. But realistically, the zombies generation that Windows has reared will never let facts confuse their laziness. :-( ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 13:05:04 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Re RIM Cpu was: Is the 200lx going to whither away?

I guess reading the docs and the old docs and the update docs would help as would knowing xfinder in any event. Just sync-ed my 32meg c: drive and 40meg a: drive back to the desktop, cleaning out some older stuff and copying some newer stuff. The following lines copy/sync-ed the a: and then c: with a directory on my desktop system: cp 210 . a:\ *d:\100\a2\ cp 210 . c:\ *d:\100\c\ As the docs warn, be CAREFUL since if you point to the wrong desktop directory, sync could erase everything not found on the HP!!!!!! Is there a way I can FIX these commands into xfinder like a macro or similar (I'm sure there is!!!!)? So that I don't have to type (or mis-type) then? THANKS. Oh, one other thing (yeah, just ONE other thing (G)), is there an EXCLUDE type command for COPY??? So that I don't keep copying my tremm file or other large "swap" files that change - hmmm, maybe this swap file does not change date and is not affected????? I guess I don't have an SC swap file at the moment. > Incidentally there's a new beta xfs that allows setting com1 - com4 > and has some other improvements.

Just use your favorite editor to type each line as a separate file, and save it with your choice of name, and either XFE or XFM suffix. They're pretty much the same except XFM asks for confirmation. The palmtop screen setup that comes with XF already has it set up using a desktop directory defined in the .env (the %$ parameter). These XFE or XFM files can put in your palmtop subdirectory (or other launch directory), be given icons and launched like anything else. > Oh, one other thing (yeah, just ONE other thing (G)), is there an > EXCLUDE type command for COPY???

Don't think so, but what I did with my internal c: to a: backup is to create a dummy tremm.swp file with a date sometime next year, so with copy set to update it doesn't get overwritten by the real 2MB file. > But where can one find this beta? http://www.ne.jp/asahi/beta/xf/index.htm > And are you re-opening the Peniel Tutorial Classroom for Xfinder?

XGREP has a max line length of one kb or so (the same limit as UNIX System V grep, which XGREP is modelled after), and that could be it, especially since the PDB file format is a binary format (isn't it?). Can XGREP find all the files if they reside in the same directory? this might help determine whether it is a problem recursing the directory tree or scanning the file.

Most of the UNIX processing utilities are intended to operate on text files that have some reasonable record length for each line. I'm guessing that your .pdb file, clearly a binary-type file, is the culprit. Also guessing, the Borland version of grep either was designed to operate on binary files to begin with, or was just compiled with a longer record length and happens to work on your .pdb file. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Is there any reason why a flash card would draw more power when a flash memory card is used on a speed upgraded machine? John suggested that there is an inbuilt inverter circuit in the 200LX that provides 5v and/or 12v supply to the card that might be the problem. Has anyone else had similar problems?

So, last year when i was troubled by the "happy99" virus i complained to Microsoft about their Outlook Express vulnerability, specifically addressing my request for an explanation to Bill. Lo and behold he wrote back, politely explaining that the e-mail virus came from pirated software in China, and that it was not the fault of Microsoft. He sounded like a politician - ask him a clear, precise, direct question and you get an answer which has nothing to do with the question. Anyway, trying to play his game, i jokingly asked if there were any rich bachelors in his company who may be interested in a French lady doctor. I received 15 replies,..., and to make a long story short, i met 3 of them in Paris at a hotel. The first one was in 'Training', and he kept teaching me how to do it myself. The second one was in Sales, and he kept telling me how good it was going to be in the next release, and the third one was in Tech Support, and he kept saying, "Don't worry, it'll be up any minute now".... instead of micro-soft i should maybe try another soft - any millionaires at dasoft?

Occassionally I have the need to access the internet this way. Just returned from a vacation in Florida. We stayed at a campground, where the cell phone reception was marginal. I tried many times to access my e-mail, using both my laptop and my palmtop using WWW/LX. Always I would log on and things would proceed normally for a short time, say 3 minutes, then everything would lock up. I attributed this to the flakey reception. However, I was interested to note that I could establish a Compuserve connection over the same cell phone to my wife's account without much problems. It was slow to be sure, but it worked everytime without a hitch. So, I get to wondering, what's the difference? The connections I was trying to establish were TCP/IP over PPP. The question I have is this, what protocol(s) does a standard Compuserve connection use? At first glance, it appears something more tolerant of weak physical layer links. Also, those of you who use the Analog cell phone network with your palmtops and other computers... do you experience similar problems? I've been led to believe that the Analog network is much more extensive, thus fewer areas of fringe reception. But I have no experience with the data performance over these type of cellphones. When my PCS phone is within range, I get pretty good and error-free performance. Certainly nothing ever locks up like I experienced at the campground. Maybe I should get one of these multi-mode phones like a cohort has - it can access both the analog and digital networks. (Then I would need a new interface method, since the DC-12 would likely not work anymore). Comments welcome. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

But we are not save. Let me outline a palmtop virus, which works much the same way as ILOVEYOU. I'll explain it with POST/LX because this is the email program I use/know. But similar should be possible with the other palmtop email programs available. NOTE: You should know me good enough to not assume that I will ever write such a virus nor do I want to encourage anybody to do so. I just want to show, that even our system is vulnerable. How it could work: I release an "improved" version of my fire animation programm FIRE.COM and send it to someone who is using POST/LX. The subject of the email would be "Improved FIRE.COM" and the body only includes the attachment FIRE.COM. The recipient of the email saves the attachment and runs it. The famous fire animation is displayed and you think, nothing else happend. But the "improved" FIRE.COM does the following besides displaying the fire: -it scans the C: drive for the file POST.CFG -it opens POST.CFG and adds the two lines to the ÝSystem¨ section: PreOnline=3DC:\FIRE/INFECT PostOnline=3DC:\FIRE/HARM -then is writes a hidden copy of itsself as C:\FIRE.COM The next time you run POST/LX and press F5 to go online, the following will happen. -before going online, POST/LX calls C:\FIRE/INFECT. The command line switch /INFECT tells FIRE to append an already predefined email to MAIL.O. This email has as subject: Improved FIRE.COM and as attachment the copy of itsself: C:\FIRE.COM. But it also has the additional header line: Bcc:File:POST.ADR Maybe MAIL.O1 and MAIL.O2 have to be manipulated too. -This email is sent out together with the one you wanted to send. and it's Bcc'ed to all entries of your POST.ADR. -After returning from the online run, POST/LX calls C:\FIRE/HARM. The /HARM switch of FIRE can be anything from a simple output: "Demonstration of a POST/LX virus" up to a command like "Del C:\*.*/S", which would erase your whole C: drive. That is, the virus attacks your drive after it spread itsself to all your email addresses. If you don't use POST/LX, the virus sleeps until you install POST/LX and run FIRE.COM for the next time. This is no criticism of POST/LX. If you think long enough, you can crack every system which is connected to the world.

However, my wife always chips in with the other side of the coin. She's not technical, and points out that she and others non-techies just don't know any better. Nobody takes the time to explain why and how things work, and the alternatives available. To most people out there, Outlook _is_ e-mail. I even had an air force pilot ask me if I'd noticed how Microsoft had invented the CC and BCC bits in e-mail and other e-mail programs had copied them! I'm tempted to say that these people should take more trouble to learn about what they're using, but they often have nobody to turn to. Microsoft takes the trouble to lure them with the promise that they can learn to use e-mail if they use their sugary software, but then we're never so ready to chip in with "advanced" lessons. The last time I had a go at my wife was when she wanted to attach a .jpg to an e-mail. She didn't know that you could that, but she did know that you could attach Word docs. What did she do? She inserted a 80k .jpg in an empty word doc and attached that. After encoding, the attachment was 9.5MB! Thanks MS - slick coding, but my fault, because I'd never explained about attachments in general, bandwidth and attachment sizes etc. Valid point, I suppose. ---------- Chris Randle (chris@amlog.demon.co.uk) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 23:08:59 +0100 Reply-To: neil@skipper.org.uk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Neil Tungate Organization: Home for geriatric collies Subject: Re: We are vulnerable too In-Reply-To: <12oRLc-2Fyzc8C@fwd02.sul.t-online.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sun, 7 May 2000 15:43:59 +0000, Stefan Peichl wrote: Ýsnip interesting explanation of a Post/LX virus¨ >This is no criticism of POST/LX.

I think that in the future (200-300+ years) historians will look at our age and absolutely tear apart the MS phenomenon. Don't get me wrong - there are some great pieces of software that came from there... They will ack the productivity gains because of the use of MS Software and paradigms, but then they will tear them apart for the same! The productivity gains are limited. Once you reach a comfort level with the dooheekies in the windows paradigm, you are frozen. There is no way to become _more_ expert and reach for more productivity, unless it is by some edict of a punk-programmer at MS who decides _for you_ what you should do next and codes the program accordingly. Then there is the dissociation of people from programs, and machines. This makes it easy for many many more people to use a computer - and for MS to seel millions more copies of their software - but it also turns these people into morons and idiots when it comes to doing anything that is NOT in the help files. They are totally lost. They lose immense amounts of time on futile advice, rebooting, retyping, reinstalling and so on. It is also immense amounts of money that they spend on such unneeded tasks. I agree, they do not know better. To a large degree this is no excuse - there are plenty of resources out there to explain, to expose, to teach - people should kick themselves in the butt a bit more. And yes, MS is guilty, IMHO, by pushing people towards "Don't ask - it is technical!". It disempowers people to think of themselves as incapable and accept the hegemony of MS - and from there the leap to "MS invented CC and BCC" is very simple. To me the worst part is when I see people _accepting_ bad programs, bad tools, stupid ways to work - they accept these as a given. This has less to do with MS than with the cultural milieu we live in: People simply have no use for their brains, they have no use for questioning, for investigating, for being unhappy with something and wanting to change it. We all parade in the "acceptable, predermined" paths. Frankly, all these people worry me because I read 1984 and that is exactly where they all go. I also saw Soylent Green (if you do not know what these two names mean, please investigate on the Internet!) I am scared that _my_ future will be filled with zombies!

Up until today, I have had exactly ZERO problems with the Flashcard. I also have a 520 MB Kingston Type III drive that I can use with the 200 LX through the mediation of an Accurite DoubleSlot. I use this only 2-3 times yearly for an archival backup. Well, today I broke out the Doubleslot and made the archival backup of the 64 MB C: drive (uneventfully). I then tried to use the Doubleslot to back the Flash card up to the Type III drive, but (as usual) was unable to get the system to see both drives at the same time. (I did this successfully once, but have been unable to duplicate that success. I would appreciate any suggestions from Doubleslot users.) I then moved to backup the 64 MB C: drive to the Flash card, only to discover that most of the backups already ON the Flash were corrupt! And trying to open directories from within Filer or from within XTree produced Disk Error messages. Not only that, but it took 2 cycles of Format - Chkdsk /f - Format - Chkdsk /f to produce what *seems* to be a clean drive. (It now seems to be OK, in that I have backed C-64 to the Flash and the files appear to be OK.) Should I be suspicious of some particular cause here or just ascribe this glitch to random chance, and be sure I keep backing the C: drive up frequently? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Saklad mailto:jimdoc@iname.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 14:45:52 -1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bob Graham Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Graham Subject: Re: ÝACC¨ VIRUS info on "I LOVE YOU" attachment!!!!!

The virus came into our office (via our software/security provider ironically) and I recognized the *.vbs extension. I simply renamed the file to text, commented out the most offensive lines, and set as read only. I added it to my little collection of similar virii which I keep simply because I like such things. Reading through the script is actually an educational process and leaves you scratching your head as to why any operating system in such heavy use at government, commercial, and indivdual levels internationally is so incredibly insecure. Maybe a virus can be made to attack any OS; joy-riders will continue highjacking MS products, however, because MS makes it so stinking easy.

I thought it would be advantageous to subscribe. Since subscribing I have realised that I must be one of either the silent or minority 95 LX users as the majority of postings relate to the 100/200 series. This does not come as a surprise but has prompted me to write to ask if there are many other 95 LX users out there who like me wonder if it is time to 'upgrade'? On the basis of "if the tool does the job why change?" I will continue to use my trusty 95 but having already replaced my original unit by building another 'good' unit from two other 'non functional' ones, I am concerned that when my current 95 LX (a 1 Mb model + two F1002A 128K ram cards, Wow!) needs replacing I will be unable to find a working unit. Application wise I use the built in programs plus the following: ZIP; a small fast transfer utility (between palm and desktop). NOTEPAD; for advanced text manipulation and file conversion. CHEQUE-IN; for keeping track of my time and billing (I work for myself as a consultant). WEEKABK; For planning etc. BUDDY95; an ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL program! I have overcome the the lack of a 'database' application by using the customisable PBK and linking 'memo' files (via macros and Buddy) to record extra information etc. I have an external stiffy drive (Drive95), a PCMCIA fax modem (but rarely used) and numerous 'power adapters' at strategic locations (bed side, office, car etc.) as the 95 external power requirements are very flexible (unlike later models that are polarity sensitive). There are times when I think a faster machine would be nice but overall I am more than happy with my set-up. I have considered a CE or 'Palm Pilot' but the thought has lasted all but a few minutes (seconds?) :-) What comments / advice do the 100/200 users have for me? Should I try harder to find a working 95? Are there any significant differences between to 100/200? In the second-hand market is there much of a price difference? (guess this will be different in SA but as a general guide?) Hope I have not 'misused' the list and I look forward to any and all responses but until then, KEEP SMILING!

I think that we HP200LX users are safe partially because we are too small a group to attract the interest of virus-creators.

Only executable DOS files could infect the palmtop. The palmtop is immune from boot-sector viruses since it boots from ROM. What we're NOT immune to is foolishness or bad judgement. Certainly we could be targeted, but infection would require the cooperation of the recipient by opening an executable attachment. Yes it can happen, but not simply by opening the mail itself. I'm suspicious (OK...paranoid) about any unexpected executable attachments. Of course, if someone we trust is out to get us, then we may be up that infamous creek...

Huh? surely the boot sector virus wouldn't infect your computer until you booted with the infected disk (and why would you want to do that?).

Windows hasn't taught people to be lazy. In the Dos days most poeple wouldn't/couldn't learn to do anything useful on computers. Windows made it possible for most of them to do things in computers. I think the people that jumped into computers early did so because they had an aptitude for it. Not because they were smarter or brighter or harder working than others. How many of you have a hard time programming your VCR? How many recent Windows users don't? Just remember, there are three kinds of people in this world. Those that can count and those that can't.

MS and windows got those people involved who used to say they couldnt learn to use computers. In the dos and pre-dos days I went into offices, installed their computers and trained their staffs. Typically about 20% were able to learn anything useful at all, and far less than that could learn to be very useful on the computer. Of the other 80%, 2/3 refused to even try. I remember one poor woman who desperately wanted to learn to use a word processor. She tried and tried. I spent hours working with her. So did several others. We sent her to classes. And she just never got it. But she could type 80wpm and take dictation in shorthand with ease and post the daily business flawlessly. But she never learned to use the word processor. And she never gave up. She was finally told by her boss to use her time on other things.

Now all you have to be is write a few lines of visual basic script, and that is why we are seeing such a proliferation of email trojans like melissa and this one. Any idiot with a visual basic bok can write a functional virus in a few minutes and combined with outlook's brain dead handling of attachments it spreads very quickly. Personally none of my computers use IE or outlook and none have had any problems with these latest viruii.

My wife's office, using GroupWise (Novell isn't exactly a Microsoft syncophant) was hit when two of the staff opened their ILOVEYOU's. The office still wouldn't have been impacted if their mail program didn't allow SMTP messages from other applications. That's the real root of how the application was able to spread so rapidly. It could access *any* MAPI-aware e-mail program. If the developer were any more skilled, the *worm* could have been an exe or a Zip install package. The irony is that everyone is focussing on the wrong area of vulnerability. MS mail products weren't the only ones vulnerable.

What we're NOT immune to is foolishness or I wouldn't bet on that - maybe to the more obvious effects, but since most boot-sector virii only put a loader in the boot sector (no room for more) and monkey around with the FAT and directory structure to conceal the payload, we could get quite thoroughly hosed were we to inadvertently load one. BTW - it's not true that you can *only* get a boot-sector virus from *booting* an infected disk.

If you have a virus that infects executables and/or also modifies the boot sector then you can get it via booting or executing the infected program. Either way you WILL NOT get a virus from doing a DIR on ANY disk. I have been running a multi-lab computer complex for over 12 years so I am quite familiar with both viruii and computer illeterate students and faculty. Pete PS. Also, the ONLY type of virus you can get by OPENING a file (a data file) is a macro virus that is generally dependent of MS Office products, again thanks to Bill and the idiots at MS.

A while back, Caldera split into two companies; the one carrying DR-DOS and its associated products (WebSpyder, NetWare for DOS, etc.) became Caldera Thin Clients (now Lineo). I believe Lineo has also changed the name of WebSpyder, but as far as I know it's still in production.

This is what I found in S.U.P.E.R. Iqigo Martinez de Azagra CLOSED No$gmb seems to be published by somebody called "utopia" now, so this webpage doesn't appear to be of very much use anymore. Please inform me if anybody knows the identity (real name, and address) of this so-called "utopia" group or person. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial developers whom are interested in registering the no$gmb color gameboy debugger (registration fee for commercial use = $750 US), please contact me at: Martin Korth Ringheide 44 21149 Hamburg Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For anybody else, I haven't decided yet if I continue to release freeware/shareware updates in future. If I decide to do so, then it will be probably limited as follows: If anybody releases a crack (or spreads a registration key) for version 2.5, then the next update will be delayed by four months. Ie. assume version 2.6 would be be finished in October 2000, so it wouldn't be made public (for non-commercial users) until February 2001. If somebody cracks that version either, then the next updates would be delayed by another 4 months, giving a total delay of 8 months for ALL future updates, and so on. So the best way to get many friends and to turn no$gmb into a project for commercial users only is to release contingous cracks. I know that that could be treated as some kind of not very nice collective punishment, but please understand that it is very frustating to see cracks, especially as I kept no$gmb available as low-prize shareware, so that everybody should have been able to afford it. I am sure that crackers with at least basic programming knowledge can break the copy protection in a few hours, but before you enjoy that good feeling, keep in mind that it took me several years to write the emulator, not to mention many further years of learning, research, and work on other programs that made it all possible. So if you want to show people how cool you are: better write your own emulator instead of making (or spreading) cracks. With the hardware information that is available nowadays it'll be probably much less work than it's been for me, and then you can see if you are really that brave and kewl - and I won't be too sure if you would publish your emulator as freeware after you have invested the first 1000 hours of work into it. All for now. A final note: when you search for an email address, there is none! And please do not send mails to the n@work people. That are the guys whom allow me to use their server, but they are in no way related to no$gmb. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 20:14:00 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: We are vulnerable too >turning on the machine.

And how is this better than, say, running an e-mail/internet suite (post/lx) directly on the palmtop? from your description of how to implement a virus in ten easy steps (NOTE: joke! ;-), you have to run a program to initiate the virus (obviously), and you can still do that with your second solution, by transferrring the program to the safe palmtop and then running it. Of course, a nice benefit from the second solution is that the virus will most likely spred less, because the second (infected) palmtop is not connected to the net directly, but this is not a benefit to yourself, really, just to other potential "infectees"... I see three solutions: 1. Keep the palmtop isolated, never transfer anything to the palmtop. 100% safe, but obviously limits the palmtop's potential. 2. Never transfer programs (executables) to the palmtop, only text files. A bit better, but... 3. Use common sense when running foreign programs and don't use an e-mail program that automatically runs programs or scripts for you (shouldn't really concern palmtop users I imagine). Granted not as safe as either one or two, but it has certainly worked for me in many years, and I'm confident it will for many years to come. -Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 20:34:54 -0400 Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

In later versions (5.0 and above I think) the option was added to ask for the location of a valid command.com. In either case a DIR will never require the reload of command.com since DIR is an INTERNAL command and therefor PART of command.com. The only commands that can overwite the transient part of command.com are EXTERNAL commands or executable programs. I will bet MONEY that NO ONE can give an instance of a DIR command activating a virus, as I said in my last post. You HAVE TO EXECUTE the virus code for anything to happen and commands like DIR, COPY, REN, VOL etc. do NOT execute any code not found in COMMAND.COM. Pete PS. part of the original poster's contention was that the user only did a DIR, not that they ran ANY sort of external command.

I've tried GREP & XGREP with the two files in the same directory, no recursion. XGREP still failed to find the data in the .pdb. I think others have hit the nail on the head with the record length/binary file suggestion. By the way, in my simple tests, GREP was about 40% faster than XGREP, and is free from the Borland Museum site with their C compiler. It's bigger than XGREP: 7,029 vs 3,380 bytes. I will try FIND, just for completeness to see how it compares. I think this is a significant observation, because although .pdb files and their ilk are not straight ASCII, quite a few of us keep our data in these formats, and would hope that GREPs find data within them. I was "lucky" and just happended to pick some data that was off the end of the record that XGREP can see. If anyone wants my .pdb to test their favourite search prog. then I don't mind mailing it and the data to look for. It's a tad large though, at 61k. It'll zip down to half that size.

MS design is often predicated on the notion that if `we' (speaking in the Microsoft Royal we) do something so that the user doesn't have to know about it, it will make their life easier. For example, I---acting as the creator/sender---can create a beautiful spreadsheet, and instead of having to send you some elaborate set of instructions on how to unpack it, and open it up and execute it, I can automate the whole procedure so it will pop right up on your screen and you won't have to `know' anything---you can concentrate directly on the content of the message, not on the mechanics of delivery. I can say `Click on the Attachment, you'll see the 4Q estimates with my proposal for 3Q production'. No long elaborate `Save this as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Excel\WorkFiles\Q4Est.XCL" (don't forget the quotes) and then open excel and click on File, then on Open, ... ' You get the idea. Obviously that's an appealing idea, particularly to someone who is interested in the content, and not in the computer mechanics. But it is, as you point out, also terribly dangerous. By being `open' to all these good things, you _necessarily_ leave yourself `open' to the bad things as well. That's the `iron law' of computing. Capabilities are neutral---if they exist they can be exploited for good, but they also can be exploited for evil. So, this approach is, IMO, the principal reason for MS success. MS systems almost invariably `demo well'. You can do some incredibly clever things _very_ easily. And you can hide lots of the technical details from the user. Techies can do their work and they can deliver their product to their managers without having to explain the grusome details. They don't need to know about them. In a few minutes you can do things that you might expect would take hours. The problems don't arise until much later. But then they arise in _spades_. Ever try and find an errant .DLL spread somewhere out in 25gb of disk containing 40,000 files? The minutes and hours you saved doing some neat spreadsheets can disappear into days or weeks of pointless, profitless searching.... Some night, when I have more energy, and the topic of discussion again demands it, I'll maybe write a piece on my view of MS's design strategy, which I call the `Small pile of sh*t, large pile of sh*t strategy'. Till then, let me rest with notion that what we are seeing is the downside of strategies that, till now, many folks thought had only an upside... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 23:27:52 -0400 Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

Well, actually I admire at least three pieces of software by MS: Msdos 5 and 6.x were very functional, albeit limited. I love Visio (yes, they are now a Microsoft product since January, $1.5bn in stock!) and PowerPoint. Visio saved me two-thre times in my career, PowerPoint saved me when I needed to do presentations two years ago. Both Visio and PowerPoint, despite being MS products were not written by MS :-) .. > The fact is, few companies write worse software (it's dumb, > fat and ugly), but hardly any of their consumers realize this. > I doubt very much if Bill realizes this. Yes he does. Yes he is probably blessing it. To him the software that includes support for everything, including the kitchen sink (ref. Word for Windows, Excell etc.) these are sterling examples of responsiveness to customers. He does not use this garbage. I would rather have a program I could tailor to my needs: start with an engine, and add support for various items I need. I worked for years as a system programmer in large mainframe installations and build huge environments (IMS, CICS, MVS, RACF and others). I could tailor the features quite comfortably and build systems that corresponded to what they needs were, even shrink systems when features were no longer needed. The dumb things worked, many times right out of the "box". This was a regular occurence. We still tested the heck out of these beasts (sometimes representing millions of lines of code!). I managed a 3 year project once that reengineered a huge software product (no names, NDA still in force!) It took about 450 people, 3 years and millions of $$$. The result was a product with fantastic quality. But the customers got mad at us right away!!! They were used to corrections to the code to show up regularly, and we shipped none! They thought we fell down on the job... The truth was that it took about 4 months before the first 3 errors showed up - they were typos in messages in some language... We had a terrible time convincing customers that the software had such a high quality. I keep thinking about Windows 2000 correcting 16,000 bugs and problems in NT and Win98! 16,000... Outlock (as my partner calles it) is not a surprise.

I'm sure no code is run on the disk when you do a dir A:, sectors are merely read. Furthermore, I went to Dr. Solomon's web page, and was unable to find any bootsector viruses that didn't require you boot with the disk in the drive. Of course, considering the vast number of viruses available, I wasn't able to read *all* their virus descriptions. I don't know what you mean by opening a file (though opening a file in the sense of, say, a C-style fopen() call shouldn't infect anything either), but a simple DIR A: cannot infect a computer, it requires you execute some code either by booting with the disk or running an executable.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain In general these are only free to the subscribers of a particular GSM provider, and even then they are rare and tend to be run for trial periods only. The problem seems to centre round the very high charges made for SMS calls (considering how very low they should be, as they are so short!). All I can suggest is that you search the web. As an example here is a link that allows anyone in the world to send SMS to a UK vodafone GSm phone: http://www.bulletinmail.com/ You'll see that if you send me a message *I* get charged 20p. Now most people would prefer that the sender pays - can you imagine junk SMS messages that actually cost you? There is also an offering from BT (owners of Cellnet, one of the UK's cellphone providers) that aims to be more comprehensive, combining being an ISP, news provider etc etc with the ability to deliver to mobiles (www.genie.co.uk) You can forward your e-mail (assuming you are using them for e-mail) to a phone. I would guess that similar services will exist in other countries, but it all depends on how they get their money. In the UK the ISPs still earn money from the Telco, so the ISPs are free. That Telco rebate will end soon thanks to the regulator driving down charges and opening the local subscriber loops to competition (currently a BT monopoly). In the US local calls are free so there is no money to earn that way. As the funding varies globally, so the offerings will vary.

As part of opening the directory, the boot sector of the disk is read to get the media descriptor byte (so it can tell what kind of disk is there and where to look for the FAT and root directory). An alternate vector is due to many virii displacing the FAT and or root directory, and replacing them with executable code for reading the relocated structures. Or the sequence could have been: C:\>A: A:\> DIR which would also force a boot sector read.

Interrupt 21 is hooked by the virus. COMMAND.COM is infected at this time. Once the Dir Virus is memory resident, it only infects .COM files when a DOS DIR command is performed. It does not infect files on execution, or when .COM files are opened. When a DIR command is performed, the first uninfected .COM file that is found in the directory becomes infected. ------------------------------------------------------ In this case, DIR is infecting other .COM files, but this is only after command.com is initially infected. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 10:43:19 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: 250 mb cf hardisk coming soon from Halo Data Devices MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi I just read an article on the net about Halo Data Devices which will launch a cf style harddrive for CF type II on 250mb.

There is a very good solution, but it all revolves around procuring a high quality, monochrome map with two points (widely spaced) of known lat/long in .pcx format. Briefly, it requires the following parts 1. 200LX 2. LXGPS software (on SUPER site) 3. Connectivity cable to LX 4. Connectivity cable to GPS 5. GPS of almost any flavor (mine is Garmin III+) It is assumed that you have the map file on your 200LX. The LXGPS software will allow you to calibrate the map with your two known points. The software can interpolate all other points on the map. Then you just connect the LX to the GPS and the GPS tells the LX its current position all the time. The software will scroll along, dropping a (configurable) breadcrumb trail of where you have been. It will mark waypoints and do a variety of GPS type tasks. As I said, the real challenge is procuring the maps. What you need is a graphics editor which can save images in B&W (2 bit) .pcx images. I use all variety of map programs (mostly Delorme, but you can capture any displayed map images using the ALT-PRINTSCREEN key to copy onto the clipboard. I use the latter method to transfer DRG maps from the USGS to .pcx files. With Delorme maps you can copy directly to the clipboard, but they come out better if you change the color configuration files (color.tbl) to a monochromatic scheme. Someone wrote an article for the Palmtop Paper in the last couple of years explaining the whole process pretty well. I never actaully saw the article, though.

Even if the file date changed hardly anybody would notice, and the date doesn't have to change. Since the 200lx disks are ram wiping them out would be nearly instantaneious.

I thought about this approach once I became interested in GPS recently. Since they turned SA off I thought how neat it would be to have a unit with the maps built in and actually see where I was going around town and on trips. The reason I didn't go that route was that I have a 200LX, a Jornada 680, a Palm V, and Laptop and since the serial Earthmate version was so much cheaper and I already had several other platforms that could talk to it then I felt that was the best decision. The price was also significantly lower than the stand alone unit and I can place the Earthmate away from the viewing platform for better results. Just thought I would throw that out there.

He found a floppy that, after being inserted in a computer and looked at with "DIR A:", Norton AV would find a virus in that computer. Everyone had believed this was impossible, partly because of the advice I had given about what was dangerous and what was not. So I was called to take a look. Sure enough, it was true. (anybody catching on yet? :) You run NAV and find no virus, insert the disk, type "DIR A:" and then run NAV again (with the disk removed) and it finds a virus....in memory. What was happening was that the virus which did exist on the floppy, was being read into the DTA when the DIR command was run. It was in memory. But of course it was no threat. Rebooting would get rid of it. Today, tommorrow, the next day, whenever. Even DIRing another floppy disk would get rid of it. That's what I did to convince them it was no threat.

I see every sign that a major portion of the reason for Gates' success is that he has `common taste'. Windows sells because Gates instinctively knows what people want _because_ it is what he wants. He reminds me most of DeWitt Wallace who founded and made a fantastic success of Readers' Digest. It turned out that if `Wally liked it' so would the average reader. He didn't have to `come down' to common taste, he had it by birthright. I very much doubt if Gates is `above' Windows.

The price was also significantly lower than the stand alone unit and I can place the Earthmate away from the viewing platform for better results. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 21:18:49 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: Re: virus way out MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Think about it this way, if a stranger came up to you on the street and >offered you some unknown substance calling it "candy" would you put it >in your mouth? the difference is that the "candy" is coming from your friend who temporarily lost his marbles due to falling in (for) love.vbs ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 21:36:52 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: fluff "special" gem MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Has anyone told you lately what a gem you are which translates to "special" (thank you)... and i have a special, one only in the whole universe 100LX, because... it acts as my barometer! how? over night i leave it in the pocket of my white doctor coat in the hallway, and in the morning, when i push the "w" key it gives me "w\" if it is going to rain (due to high humidity); if it is dry it returns a normal "w" anyone else can match my 100LX Houdini? :) __o regards from Nathalie in France with my 100LX _(\<._ in pocket cycling the beautiful spring countryside (_)/ (_) ready to put down my thoughts for Richard and his better half ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 17:38:03 -0400 Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

If it was in the floppies directory structures it would not do any good and it would be overwritten very easily, I don't see any virus writer being that dumb. I sure would like to see that one, you don't happen to remember what NAV identified it as do you? Of course there is always the chance that it was a misidentification, especially given the location. I have a current version of McAfee that constantly identifies two parts of Oracle's client as virus droppers, of course they are not and when I upgraded the McAfee program itself it quit identifying them.

All I know is that there has NEVER been a reported virus that exploits any DIR bug that can make it execute, good enough for me. Also, for your own education, the code that actually does DIR is quite simple and mainly consists of several INT 21H calls. If there were any real bugs in it they were long ago removed. DOS, and something as simple as the DIR command implementation is a far cry for the bloated crud that MS spews forth today.

Yet they add more features. The only reason MS products are popular is that MS TOLD the users that they NEEDED these features, not the other way around, it is called MARKETING. Now all the people that were perfectly happy with something like Office 97 are being TOLD that they NEED all the new features of Office 2000. Of course these are the same people that only use about 10% of the features in the current version. For proof that MS TELLS the people what they want look at things like the fact that every new verison of a program comes out with a NEW format to save the data in. So now you start getting files you can't read and suddenly you to have to buy the new version. Now the newest thing is supplying the programs over the internet for RENT.

Here is the real analogy, would you eat a piece of candy from a friend that you found left on your doorstep with no prior warning and no reason that this friend is giving you candy? Also, the friend has left a cryptic note saying to enjoy the candy and it is TYPED so you can't even identify the handwriting. THAT is a fittinf analogy to what is happening with email worms. People are getting things from a COMPUTER that has their friends name and a cryptic message and they are opening it without knowing why they even got it. To me that is the height of stupidity and if you wish to do this, or recommended that your friends do this then feel free.

Nope. I haven't done that. I have looked at the DIR code, probably in MSDOS 2.11, and probably not since then. So I can't give a guarantee. > You see, that's the rub.

Granted that the virus code may have ended up in the memory of the system, even though I can't figure out why it would be where it was, it was not in a position to be executed. There are areas of memory that programs like NAV should ignore since there is no possible way that the code could get executed and this sounds like one case. It would be interesting to know if later versions of NAV respond the same. I have a current version of McAfee that constantly complains about two programs that are part of Oracle client, it thinks they are virus droppers. When I upgraded the CODE, not the defs, it quit complaining.

And there's several available, I haven't figured exactly which one I need. Of course, the eTrex can be used stand-alone, and isn't any larger than a Tripmate. And IIRC, the Earthmate seems to use a proprietary protocol. BTW, for a map program, look at APRS, an amateur radio application, that can be used without the radio, just a GPS and computer.

Any time I don't use a credit card, I send an International Bank Draft (issued by a bank) denominated in $'s drawn on a US bank: this is bullet proof. Is "Money Order" American English for a bank draft? Not just idle curiosity. Some day you may have something I can't resist. BTW, if I had seen that 85mb Sandisk before I bought Thaddeus's 96mb Compact flash, they would have lost out (sorry Wayne).

The IBM Internal Use Only E3 editor has not been released to the Public Domain, but it's cut-down version T definitely has. In fact, it's on SUPER. Whether IBM ever approved of this is another matter, however, as it wasan employee-written program, there may have been a 'copyright' period, and the author may have eventually been allowed to release it. I think the reason it didn't happen with E3 is that it was adopted as an IBM product, and a variation of it included in OS/2.

The virus came from the boot sector of the floppy disk. The floppy was infected. If they had booted on it the computer might have been infected also. But they didn't. They simply typed DIR A: and the computer read the boot sector, virus and all, into memory to see how the drive was formatted. But it read it in as data, not as something to be executed. Unless they booted on it.

Much of memory is dynamically allocated and the contents aren't removed when it's de-allocated. There's no real way NAV could know what this area had been used for last.

On the other hand, as long as I keep current with MS software and keep my big box up to date, (anyone on this list has to admit seeking the Holy Grail in hardware and software is fun) my time is more productive. In this "computer age" nothing stands still. As computers become more prevalent in society, society wins.

Any clues what is going on? Most likely you have a memory issue with your SC swap file. Go into the setup program for SC and record your memory settings per session. Then go to Lotus 1-2-3 and open the sizer.wk1 file which was shipped with SC7. It will calculate the proper size of the swap file for SC. Go back to SC setup and enter this swap file requirement. Save and exit SC-setup. Reboot your machine and you should be set. You need to have enough memory availlable on disk of course.

TO PRINT FROM DOS VIA INFRARED PORT TO THE HP6MP LASER JET: The following series of commands has to be (1) executed from the command line or has to be (2) contained in the SC startup commands list or (3) to be run as a batch file (C:\IRON.BAT): d:\dos\mode com1:96,n,8,1,p (to set Com1 parameters) d:\dos\mode lpt1:=com1: (to reroute printer output to Com1) c:\irjeteye.com com1 (to enable DOS Irda driver for Com1) c:\lxstat S W (to power up the serial port Com1) c:\lxstat S I (to power up the infrared port) The Batch file IRON.BAT looks as follows: rem IRON.bat (Batch file to ENABLE IR DOS printing to HP6MP) d:\dos mode com1:96,n,8,1,p d:\dos\mode lpt1:=com1: c:\irjeteye.com com1 c:\lxstat s w c:\lxstat s i c:\lxstat To power IR down, execute the Batch file IROFF.BAT: rem IROFF.bat (Batch file to DISABLE IR DOS printing to HP6MP) c:\jetutil -d c:\lxstat s o d:\dos\mode lpt1: 3. TO PRINT INFRARED FROM LOTUS (within SysMgr) Nothing is needed but ld.bat in Autoexec.bat or in the Startup command list for the SC Work Area where SysMgr is running. Set Lotus to Ser. 2 IR mode via: WORKSHEET/GLOBAL/DEFAULT/PRINTER/INT/4 Do not forget to UPDATE these settings, otherwise you are stuck again next time. The problem is probably there. NOTE: Printing Infrared with LOTUS starts only several seconds after giving the GO command. Initially nothing happens and it falsely seems that printing has failed, be patient. For better reading, go into edit mode to get correct formatting of paragraphs. I hope I got everything right, this computing world is very mysterious ! For cable-linked printers powering the Com1 port up is sufficient, the other three commands are for IR printing. (Stefan, still experimenting with LXPRO to save power by powering the ports according to need). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 22:57:45 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Robert K.

LXPRO should help with that I made the experience, that I can also print to LPT1 and it works - even without any MODE redirection. It must be something like a hard-wired redirection (or maybe the BIOS services do that?). This is very good for compatibility with programs that can't print to COM ports. Using the port 'PRN' also always seems to work. Does anyone know how this redirection is made in the palmtop?

Mine's usually connected to the laptop and either SA or Streets in the car - but it's nice to have one you can carry around hiking, etc. I do have a TripMate living in one car along with the AC inverter. The proprietary GPS receivers (Earthmate/Tripmate, Rand-McNally, Sony) are less likely to be amenable to changes in mapping systems. With R/M Street Finder, I need to reprogram the NMEA signal set on my Eagle GPS from what SA & Streets use. Their dedicated GPS receiver would similarly need to be feeding that specific signal set. Likewise, TripMate requires a special signal reply to activate it (which *is* being provided by some third-party systems, still . . . ). I have no direct experience with R/M's receiver, so my comment is based on what I found necessary to use a generic GPS with it. I likewise have no experience with Sony's receiver or software, so I merely conjure that they're likely to be proprietary in some way. The extra bucks give a measure of flexibility and convenience.

I don't know if the 25mA exceeds the recommended draw, but it worked during a brief experiment. If in fact 25mA is too large a current for the 200LX, then I noted that Socket sells a similar card that only draws 13mA operational. It shows up as COM2, just as if you had plugged in a modem card. So, if you need two com ports on your palmtop, this is a potential solution.

GPS of almost any flavor (mine is Garmin III+) It is assumed that you have the map file on your 200LX. The LXGPS software will allow you to calibrate the map with your two known points. The software can interpolate all other points on the map. Then you just connect the LX to the GPS and the GPS tells the LX its current position all the time. The software will scroll along, dropping a (configurable) breadcrumb trail of where you have been. It will mark waypoints and do a variety of GPS type tasks. As I said, the real challenge is procuring the maps. What you need is a graphics editor which can save images in B&W (2 bit) .pcx images. I use all variety of map programs (mostly Delorme, but you can capture any displayed map images using the ALT-PRINTSCREEN key to copy onto the clipboard. I use the latter method to transfer DRG maps from the USGS to .pcx files. With Delorme maps you can copy directly to the clipboard, but they come out better if you change the color configuration files (color.tbl) to a monochromatic scheme. Someone wrote an article for the Palmtop Paper in the last couple of years explaining the whole process pretty well. I never actaully saw the article, though.

Comments: To: Avi Meshar MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Avi, You it the target dead center!! I work for the State of Georgia. During the Y2K scare, teams of people were gathered with the sole mission of researching solutions to the antiquated software then used. What they came up with now requires more man power to maintain. The solution is a LAN with Win95 work stations. Everything runs under the Win95 OS on resource deficient (little RAM) Compaq Pentium II 300 mHz or better boxes, not much better I might add. The applications frequently crash. One of the applications used to bill patient accounts in pharmacy hasn't billed a single client on one of the treatment units since November 1999. Yet everyone is thrilled with the much more colorful Windoze screens. They have bought the entire concept that these bad tools are what they want. They would rather fiddle with this software, which is not even supported by the vendor, than think creatively to develop applications that work. Only the Governor knows just how many programmers are employed by the state. There must be an army of them. To suggest an alternative is to become ostracized by ones piers, essentially to become the null voice of the team. Yes is the only answer they take. I for one don't like to prostitute myself to lend support to clunky, resource hungry software that crashes and doesn't function for that which it is designed. I have always felt that my responsibility to my employer is to tell the truth, as I see it, whether they want to hear it or not. I always explain, humbly (I hate arrogance), that the information I provide is just my opinion, bases on the facts at hand for them to use in making their decisions base perhaps in part on the importance they place on my information. The current environment doesn't allow this. One must almost be a highly paid parrot of the accepted opinion. This is crazy! I could understand it if there seemed to be something favorable being developed, but this doesn't seem to be the case. It now takes more people to police the billing; the inventory is maintained by more staff with a level of scrutiny that I have never seen and this doesn't seem to help much. This takes away from the primary mission of the place, which is to provide health care. Just a thought, maybe this is one thing contributing to escalation of health care cost. The people I work for have a blind eye to simplicity of form and function. If there ever was a group that could complicate things, here is a huge nest of them. I like your reference to 1984 and Soylent Green. This is surely a case of accepting what is being force fed, and to think that it doesn't taste as good . William E.

I recently purchased a 20 > meg PCMCIA card for my 100LX. The darn thing won't format. One other thing to what the others have suggested, the HP100 has slightly different, older flashcard support and some cards in the 100 need an Ace driver. And to be honest, I've never know which cards or if it is solely a size issue. And you could also play a game - go to a win-ce store, try the card in that device (altho, power might be too much as win-ce uses newer, lower power cards and it may offer to format.

I've used my 200LX for terminal-access to email through Datacomm in the past, and telnet access is possible, but ideally I'd like to have a decent IMAP client on the thing that would support at least limited disconnected use - this'd save me from having to sling a notebook around here and there. POP is not an option. Basic requirements: - Download mailbox message headers (unseen/unread/all) - display sender, subject, message size, and whether a plain-text-readable message body part exists. - Auto-download of unseen message bodies (configurable to get only messages < specified size with a text-format message body.) - Mark one or more message headers for download, and process downloading of the marked message bodies. - Compose replies and queue for SMTP sending. - Move messages between mailboxes, delete messages, expunge mailbox. This would cover 90% of my mail-reading requirements, and for brief trips I can live without the other 10%. I've got LXMTA running but its IMAP support is very, very limited - and with the volume of new mail I get downloading all unseen message bodies is not going to work. Is there anything else out there, or do I need to find my old Borland C 2.0 floppies (and find something with a 5.25 floppy drive to read them...) and start working through the LXMTA source?

Symdeb will handle switches to and from graphics mode nicely and will also let you debug symbolically and even do source level debugging in a crude way. It's not a bad tool.

All very informative. My next question is as follows: Assuming I continue to use the HP95LX, is there any way of improving performance? i.e. speed-up by changing clock etc. I had thought about making the oscillator go faster but then what happens to timing etc? Also does anyone have any experience of adding more memory to the motherboard and what drivers are required to access? I remember a L-O-N-G time ago adding some memory chips in parallel to an XT extension board and volia! Instant more memory! Any and all comments (type of chip, drivers etc.) eagerly awaited but until then, KEEP SMILING :-) Nigel R (in sunny South Africa with an ancient HP95LX!) P.S.

What we need is a rubber roller. Several, actually. This isn't a very complicated device ... just something with a handle and a cylindrical rubber roller on the end, about 1.75" wide. The rubber should be soft enough that it won't scratch a plastic film, but firm enough to squeeze out air bubbles under the film; the object here is to apply an adhesive film on the back of the 200LX's glass LCD without getting air bubbles under it. Thus far, using a liquid like water with a tiny amount of soap (dishwashing detergent like Dawn or Joy or something) has proven very effective, the same way that people who install tinting on car windows do it. But a rubber roller is needed, really, to get the adhesive snug up against the glass with no air bubbles at all. So, can anybody point me to a hobby shop or something that would sell a little rubber roller like this? Or does anybody have a brother, a grandma, a friend, or anybody they know who could manufacture one, and would be willing to do it really cheap? In the end we'll probably need six rollers, preferably all identical, for the people who will be installing backlights. Jeff Johns sent me a big sheet of ... neoprene rubber, I think it was. And it works quite well for not scratching and being firm enough to press out air bubbles, but it's just a thick, flat sheet, not a roller, so it's not very easy to use. So if anybody has any suggestions, pointers, URLs to sites that sell rubber rollers like this, or anything at all, please let me know, ASAP. The sooner we get something that makes installation easy and air-bubble-free, the sooner the beta testing period will be over and the product will be offered. And if I haven't been clear, or anybody needs more details, don't hesitate to ask me.

We will be buying around 4K Euro-English 200LX's from the Dutch Railway company! We expect to receive the palmtops some time in August. It will be quite expensive for us to make the purchase, and I would prefer to minimize our loan from the bank. Therefore, we have come up with an offer described below and at www.palmtoppaper.com. Fortunately, we also made two large buys of 10 Meg new (Compaq labeled) PC cards (I believe manufactured by Sandisk but don't know yet for sure) and of 200LX connectivity cables (manufactured by the company that made them for HP). The Compaq cards were made for an earlier Windows CE device. As an incentive, to have people prepay, we will be offering a 10 meg card and a cable with each palmtop sold! I don't know how long we will keep this offer, because I don't know yet when we will have to pay for the palmtops. I expect the palmtops (certainly the first 2K or so) to be in quite good condition -- and we refurbish them -- clean them up, tighten hinges, etc. However, first come, first served in terms of best palmtops. We will be selling them as 2 meg, 5 meg, 32 meg, and 64 meg. (Mack cannot find any chips he needs for 96 meg and has no immediate prospects). For more details see www.palmtoppaper.com. To order, use the web site, mail us, 110 N. Court, Fairfield, IA 52556, or call us, 800 373 6114, fax 515 472 1879. You can also email orders@thaddeus.com. If you have questions, best to ask me here, as our phone folks won't know more then what I just posted or is on our web site. As to backlighting, you probably read David's post. We are inching forward. However, as some of you surmised, June is probably a little optimistic. Hopefully, backlighting will be ready by the time the units come. Anyone who prepays for a palmtop and leaves us an email address will be notified about backlighting before we send you your unit. Note that we can't provide pre-ordering of backlighting until we are sure it will be a product and know when they will be ready. Realistically, if you want your preordered unit backlit, it will probably be September before you receive the unit because the process is so labor intensive.

The easiest way to see this is to try to paste several of them together. You will notice that the first two go together quite nicely and subsequent ones in the same direction do also, but if you try to put too many together it is unsatisfactory. The problem of course is that the maps are skewed, trying to show a round surface (the earth) on a flat representation (the map). However, for my own purposes, the difference is imperceptable. I can only barely see any non-linearity, and for purposes of using LXGPS, the point is moot, as the CGA resolution masks the irregularity. Frankly, I have never tried to pinpoint positions (with LXGPS) with any high degree of accuracy, but it has been very helpful in suggesting to me just exactly which lake I was staring at. With the recent deactivation of SA, the GPS world is going through a sea-change, as it is now possible to resolve your exact position down to 20 feet. That beats the accuracy of most commomnly available maps (7.5 min quads). Dennis Bell Seattle ----------------------------------------------- FREE!

Wonder if large doll house furniture might have something like that. If not, someone with woodworking tools might be able to make a few. Decide what diameter you need and make them on a lathe. Drill a hole length wise large enough too fit a stiff rod and attach handles at each end.

It's possible to run Win 3.0 or earlier, but unless you have the old windoze software it isn't worthwhile. If you want something similar to the windoze GUI, you could try X-Finder - available on SUPER http://palmtop.net Look for the SUPER search engine and enter X-Finder. The program is written just for the 100/200LX, and has a lot of what you may like in windoze, without the 6 times a day crashes.

Some additional info: The Motorola Timeport can be used to connect to the 200LX's as well. We now have 2 timeports with data cables and Sprint PCS service. It just acts like a modem - you can send AT commands to it, and it behaves as expected. (Sprint is very confused about this simple setup and their technical nitwits can't explain how they have their system setup and don't understand why we don't want the nice built-in mini-webbrowser and their software cds. It looks like they have some modem bank on their digital network, because the modem service only works when you are connected using their digital system) The timeport (when bought with SprintPCS service) comes with a "wireless web kit" which includes lots of superfluous cd's and manuals - the interesting part being the data cable. Hook that up to Thaddeus' 9" Zoom cable (with male serial plug at the end, so you don't need the gender-changer that comes with the timeport stuff) and you're in business. The one other way to make the cable less bulky would be to find a shorter timeport cable. Haven't seen one yet, but as Daniel says, it's probably going to be quite expensive. (Tested with WWW/LX) Just my $0.02 -- Mieke. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 13:18:45 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Fwd: HP 200LX-12 volt polarity problem =no go MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Could somebody help this guy out.

It might have a short or break developing in it. You can also try compressing the left edge of the screen case which is where the cable compresses against the gold fingers on the screen driver board. It may be a contact issue in that area.

You even have to setup you GPS to use the correct settings. I got it correct to the point where I can accurately display GPS position on the USGS map with no detectable error. Of course it helps that I live in LA and presumably that the USGS maps are more accurate here. By the way, DLG Viewer can create maps of arbitrary scale from the DLG maps, i.e. it is possible to get 10 pixel per metre or greater resolution (probably useless except for fun.)

The easiest way to see this is to try to paste several of them together. You will notice that the first two go together quite nicely and subsequent ones in the same direction do also, but if you try to put too many together it is unsatisfactory. The problem of course is that the maps are skewed, trying to show a round surface (the earth) on a flat representation (the map). However, for my own purposes, the difference is imperceptable. I can only barely see any non-linearity, and for purposes of using LXGPS, the point is moot, as the CGA resolution masks the irregularity. Frankly, I have never tried to pinpoint positions (with LXGPS) with any high degree of accuracy, but it has been very helpful in suggesting to me just exactly which lake I was staring at. With the recent deactivation of SA, the GPS world is going through a sea-change, as it is now possible to resolve your exact position down to 20 feet. That beats the accuracy of most commomnly available maps (7.5 min quads). Dennis Bell Seattle ----------------------------------------------- FREE!

Thanks in > advance for your help. -Carla- There are a couple of things you can try. First, make a copy and try working with the copy. As suggested, Garlic can sometimes recover bad data. Another is to create or open a NEW empty phonebook file. Then try using menu/file/merge to read in your "bad" phonebook. This sometimes works. You can also try using one of the other utilities (are they both in Super?) gdbio or dbutil to convert the data to comma delimited. Sometimes they will read bad files, altho most times not. And last, a manual, tedious method: Open the file in Memo (it will open the file generally) as a messed up "text" file. Then open a new, clean phonebook file. Slowly use cut/copy/paste in memo to move useable data from memo into a new clean phone file. Just move READIBLE text (regular letters and numbers) and none of the high ascii "odd" characters. Good luck. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 08:34:50 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Scott Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Scott Subject: Compact Flash disks,PCMCIA disks and Name Brand Sandisks are Available MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have (3) 48 Meg Compact Flash name Brand Simple Technologies disks available.

Subject: HP200LX Serial Loopback connectors? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I trying the power-on serial port test, I remembered that I have yet to see any pinout for "the" official loopback connector on the 200LX. Now, I'm pretty sure you connect things like this, at least: (Define the serial port, see http://hwb.acc.umu.se/ for good info): 1 CD Input Carrier Detect 2 RXD Input Receive Data 3 TXD Output Transmit Data 4 DTR Output Data Terminal Ready 5 GND == System Ground 6 DSR Input Data Set Ready 7 RTS Output Request to Send 8 CTS Input Clear to Send 9 RI Input Ring Indicator 10 SHD == Shield (== Ground) (Define connections): 2 (RxD) to 3 (TxD) 5 (Gnd) to 10 (SHD) for redundancy. Now, for the rest of them: Do we jumper RTS-CTS (7-8) and CD-DTR-DSR-RI (1-4-6-9), OR, some other strange permutation? (This is what Norton and CheckIt use, but I've seen several other pinouts.) I want to be able to test serial ports on these beasties, cannot seem to find the definition of this loopback plug. Guess I can build one and test it, if the test fails, is this info somewhere? (Been looking, maybe throw the answer in the LX FAQ once determined?) Thanks in advance!

There is that add-on program which allows graphic images: ibex/ipex?

Yes: Try to press the case of the screen together in the lower left corner (above the lift hinge) with your left thumb and forefinger. Be careful not to press to much, and try to press with different amounts of power and at different places on the left side of the screen. If you realize that this affects the behaviour in any way (either makes it go away or even forces it), you probably only suffer from a loose screw.

I built one custom, just to prevent problems - Consider the cost of repair, versus the cost of two of even the most expensive power adapters. I've been thinking on an internal fix that would solve this; Need to sit down and see how to fit it in there. An external fix will be a bit bulky, but is possible. I'll get a JPeg put together of what to make, e-mail me if you want the idea (Limitation is, you need 1 to 1.4 volt more than you've needed in the past i.e. a 9.6 volt power supply may not work at all. Good thing about it is, you could easily use any 10V to 14V DC power source; with a slight modification Ýadd a capacitor¨, could use any 7VAC to 10VAC power source. DON'T use 12VAC though!) Can make a more complex widget that'll power the LX from most any power source, but that's going to be somewhat expensive, I think. Perhaps nice for someone, though.

I like that one. It's fast and smart but not flexible (no editing/cheating features). I've only beaten it on the lowest level but I'm not much of a chess player.

I run it on a 75MHZ/MIPS phillips nino and it runs slower than a 1x LX but is usable. >-----Original Message----- >From: Systems-Consulting Ýmailto:systems-consulting@HOME.COM¨ >Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 1:51 PM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: Re: ÝHPLX-L¨ Fluff:Samsung Linux Pda > > >The English link is >http://www.sem.samsung.co.kr/eng/product/digital/pda/ > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 12:45:44 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Carla Ruigh Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Carla Ruigh Subject: GPS on 200lx MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi again, In browsing on the SUPER site, I noticed several files w/GPS programs.

Is this different? Some other keys may be relocated too.

Thanks in advance for your One or more of those apps may contain info on the process but yes, you need a gps receiver which would connect to the serial port of the HP with a generally proprietary cable that mates with the gps. Not all gps contain such a port. gps range in price from about $100 to 400. The upper range now contain their own maps or cd's with maps that can be downloaded to the gps. some folks like the concept but for field work, skiing, hiking or biking, the hp may be too fragile or rain affected!

I am both a longtime GPS user and a longtime HP200 User, but I have never had the slightest interest in combining the two. At various stages I have tried lots of combinations of various GPS and various computers. I currently use a Garmin GPS III+ do all of the related computer work on one of my desktop or portable machines, most commonly using MapSource (which downloads maps of the US into the GPS III+) and Street Atlas 7 (which has street maps and routing). I have travelled with my GPS _and_ a computer in the car a few times, but found that the computer didn't add anything to the process (the GPS III+ has internal maps), and was both a distraction to driving and a considerable nuiscance. So I quit doing that and now just use my GPS for all `live' work in the car. I also travel with complete maps (in my highly portable Libretto) and use the libretto to download my tracks when my GPS III memory fills up. As a regular habit I always `empty' my GPS into some computer and save the tracks, so I have point accurate records that now cover several years and lots of points between the Western US and Eastern Europe. Having had a GPS without built in maps, and now having one with built-in maps, I'd say there is a trememdous difference between the two. For my use and convenience, built-in maps are _definitely_ worth the extra cost. I also found the process of scanning and loading the maps to be a real nuiscance given the quality of maps that were available (here in the US) for relatively modest amounts of money. Again I quickly gave up doing much of that. On a full color screen with 1024 x 768 resolution, the maps (for example from Street Atlas 7 are _very_ readable. As you move to monochrome, CGA resolution and not much grey scale, they become harder and harder to read. To my aging eyes, viewing on the 200 screen was clearly not worth the effort, but then I have lots of alternatives available so I didn't try to struggle. Of course this is all highly idiosyncratic, and YMMV. I have no doubt you'll hear from others that love doing GPS on their 200s. I love both my GPS and my 200, but I don't find the combination useful in this case. In general I find there is a world of difference between being able to use my GPS _without_ attaching it to anything, and having to carry a computer of any kind to make it useful.

Are they cheaper in USA or somwhere else? If yes, would anyone be so kind to buy one and forward it to me (Berlin, Germany)? 5.

This release dramatically improves the accuracy of your GPS receiver. Oh, wait. Maybe someone else was responsible for that :-). If you haven't heard, the government has turned off Selective Availablility. That was the intentional fuzzing of the GPS signal that caused your position to be reported less accurately. The major new feature in this release of LXGPS is the addition of waypoint lists. When you use a waypoint list LXGPS will automatically switch from waypoint to waypoint. I've also put a lot of work into bullet-proofing LXPGS so bad data won't cause a crash. There are also the usual minor bug fixes and tweaks.

I'm in my thirties and doing computer work, so I am only at the starting curve of loosing sight on my 200LX:) I ran APRS on my HP200LX+GPS+Ham radio on my dash board. When I go 4-wheeling, I use it to navigate the dirt roads, record our tracks, and send position report to Ham radio. The only painful part is map generation. But it is really fun. My GPS does not have built in map so I can't comment on the usefulness in the country side.

I am both a longtime GPS user and a longtime HP200 User, but I have never had the slightest interest in combining the two. At various stages I have tried lots of combinations of various GPS and various computers. I currently use a Garmin GPS III+ do all of the related computer work on one of my desktop or portable machines, most commonly using MapSource (which downloads maps of the US into the GPS III+) and Street Atlas 7 (which has street maps and routing). I have travelled with my GPS _and_ a computer in the car a few times, but found that the computer didn't add anything to the process (the GPS III+ has internal maps), and was both a distraction to driving and a considerable nuiscance. So I quit doing that and now just use my GPS for all `live' work in the car. I also travel with complete maps (in my highly portable Libretto) and use the libretto to download my tracks when my GPS III memory fills up. As a regular habit I always `empty' my GPS into some computer and save the tracks, so I have point accurate records that now cover several years and lots of points between the Western US and Eastern Europe. Having had a GPS without built in maps, and now having one with built-in maps, I'd say there is a trememdous difference between the two. For my use and convenience, built-in maps are _definitely_ worth the extra cost. I also found the process of scanning and loading the maps to be a real nuiscance given the quality of maps that were available (here in the US) for relatively modest amounts of money. Again I quickly gave up doing much of that. On a full color screen with 1024 x 768 resolution, the maps (for example from Street Atlas 7 are _very_ readable. As you move to monochrome, CGA resolution and not much grey scale, they become harder and harder to read. To my aging eyes, viewing on the 200 screen was clearly not worth the effort, but then I have lots of alternatives available so I didn't try to struggle. Of course this is all highly idiosyncratic, and YMMV. I have no doubt you'll hear from others that love doing GPS on their 200s. I love both my GPS and my 200, but I don't find the combination useful in this case. In general I find there is a world of difference between being able to use my GPS _without_ attaching it to anything, and having to carry a computer of any kind to make it useful.

LXTELNET is very unforgiving of any syntax errors in your tcp.cfg file, much more so than the other LXxxxx apps. In particular, look for empty quotes, or an equals sign with nothing on the right side or just a comment.

Okay, then I'll guide you to the solution of your probmem (hopefully): You need: - a Torx 6 screwdriver (pull out one of the rubber feet at the bottom of the LX to see if the screwdriver fits, when you are standing in the store and don't know if it'll fit) - a small, sharp blade or a razor blade It'll be not that difficult, so don't be afraid! Switch the palmtop off and keep it opened (screen). The foil (or cover - I don6t know a better English word for it -- I mean this thing on which "HP Hewlett Packard 200LX Palmtop PC * xMB RAM", the F key numbers and "Packet Quicken" and "Lotis 123 cc:mail" are written. This thing that covers the edge of the screen) has to be pryed off from the screen. At least on the left side. So take the blade and carefully try to pry off the cover in the lower left or upper left corner between the cover and the outer edge of the screen (don't try to lever it off directly on the screen surface - it could damage the screen glass). If you can take hold of the cover with your fingers, you can stop to use the blade, and simply pull the cover away from the screen. It's glued onto the screen's edge with double-adhesive tape, so you'll not damage anything when simply pulling it away. You can either pull the cover entirely away or you can stop when it's pulled off until the middle of the screen. Now you see two Torx-6 screws on the left side. Try to fasten them. If they were loose, you already solved the problem. If they were not loose, drive them out and try to wiggle a little bit around with the screen circuit, so eventually dirty contakts can be cleaned. Then fasten the screws again. That should solve the problem.

Perhaps it might do it with the HP48 calculator (I don't have one so I don't know). With the palmtop it prints like a supermarket receipt. Very interesting, but when I attempted to use it for practical purposes, I found it too slow. I still use it once in a while as a curiousity. My wife and kids are very impress by this capacity, but aside from the cool factor, I am not sure it is very useful, because of the limitations in print style, size, and speed. This is mostly a software issue, except for the speed part. If Tom Rundel could be encouraged to update the program to do some more than what it does, I would be interested. :-) As usual, YMMV.

From what I understand, a BOOTP server may, or may not, provide this information, but what's important here is that if you have a line like hostname= ;with or without a comment then the rest of the file will not be read correctly by LXTELNET. So, if you're not using a parameter, don't leave it blank. Comment out the whole line.

LXGPS you can get from the Super Site. The Tripmate didn't cost that much. As I remember I paid $100.00 for it. This GPS doesn't have its own display but links to the 200LX through the serial port. For maps I use either Street Atlas USA or scan my own topographic maps. The maps must be converted to black and white format before use. The must also be calibrated. Calibration is an easy process once you get the hang of it. I usually edit some reference points corresponding to know longitude and latitude. The document for LXGPS will give more details on this. I use it in the field to reaquire contact points with certain geologic features I am studying. I would suggest if you use the 200LX in the field, you purchase a divers clear back or make one of your own. A good quality freezer back, zip locked, is what I'm using right now. These don't cost as much and protect it just as well. I also have a dessicator pouch on the underside of the 200LX in the bag because I live in such a humid climate. I have never had any problems using these devices in this way. Care should be taken to have on hand a really water tight bag in case one gets caught in a heavy rain. This is where the divers back comes in really handy. Hope this helps, William E. Blankenship Carla Ruigh wrote: > Hi again, > > In browsing on the SUPER site, I noticed several files w/GPS programs.

Not sure what good this would do for the hplx, but I might as well ask: Can the HP48GX print to the 82240B in sideways mode? That for me would be the most useful addition to Tom Rundel's driver, in addition to a larger font (larger than the 26 column mode). It would be neat to be able to print a large banner in sideways (with large letters). I know, wishful thinking. Also, are the graphics printing capabilities of the HP48GX useful outside of formulas and such? ASCII line drawing would be interesting to me (beyond the current borders produced by Tom's driver). I am just wondering what printing characteristics does the HP48GX has which can output to the 82240B, other than numbers and formula charts.

I just looked for my printer manual so I could give some serious information but I don't know where it is. I don't think I've seen it since I moved a couple of years ago. It's probably buried under something somewhere. I've only used the printer for printing source code but I did read the manual and play with it a little when I first got it. But that's a long time ago. It doesn't do anything like print graphs given the equation. The 48gx does that and the printer prints the pixels. When printing from a normal stack display it's sent ascii code and prints 26 columns wide, as I remember it. If you use a ufl font or some such, it gets a bitmap representation of the screen to print. I'm not sure how much of this I remember right. I don't use it a lot and when I do it's usually just to print source code from Jazz. I wish I had more information. I'll keep looking for the manual. I'm pretty sure it's here somewhere.

It's a 24 char's per line printer using Roman 8 font - and they say it does graphics. I don't know what the resolution is - but I suppose if you want to get 80 chars in graphics mode into 24 chars, it's 3 1/3 times compression. I can only imagine what you will find it exceedingly difficult to get to grips with the escape sequences (if that is used for this printer) to set it into graphics mode. It looks like a small calculator printer (which it is of course), which tapers from a rounded form (where the paper roll fits) down to the front end which is much flatter. It actually looks like a referee's whistle (best way I can describe it) I have a laser - HP 5P with infrared. OK it's not very portable (unless you have a long power lead and a willing helper to carry). It prints nicely from the 700LX IR port (which is the same as the 200LX of course). But I'm sure you want portability.

With the S25, it's only possible to establish an IrDA connection if the two IrDA eyes are not more than abt. 5..10cm sway from each other. The Nokia devices allow distances of up to 0.5m or even more, so it's possible to work around the EMI problem by placing the two devices far away from each other. How big can you make the distance between LX and S35 without loosing the IrDA connection?

Thanks -Carla- Only Mack's note about using the LX as a remote display for the GPS. If you're planning on operating only from some kind of vehicle that may make sense. If you also want to have something for hiking, camping, hunting, etc. which you will be carrying around you run into the cable issue, the weather risks, the danger of dropping your LX (with cover open!) and breaking something, . . . The delta for an advanced GPS is cheaper than replacement costs for a broken LX (unless you're looking for an excuse to change platforms ;{)# ) Jon Jon Barrett jonzann@altavista.net Isopoint/Glidepad, Bring Back the Paw! 500MHz Omnibook 900B and W2KP - - - and the OB800s are *NOT* for sale! - - - ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 22:49:44 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , =?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=FCnther_Eisele?= Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=FCnther_Eisele?= Subject: Re: S35i + post/lx + pdu.com = success In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hoi, Thursday, May 18, 2000, 9:45:12 PM, you wrote: > Does the S35i have a stronger IrDA port than the S25=3F With the S25, > it's only possible to establish an IrDA connection if the two IrDA eyes > are not more than abt. 5..10cm sway from each other.

That means, with a distance of 28 cm I still can send sms. But the optimum rate when continuously online (like with www/lx) is ~18 cm, because I get more baud rate erros when placing the phone 20 or more centimeters from the 200lx.

As the others said, the files on the LX can be very large. I believe that there's a limit of about 5000 "records", where each appointment or todo item is a record, and each note is a record. There are some pre-defined ones in there, but the number is small compared to 5000. And a note can be up to 32K, so the file size in theory could get extremely large. I have a program called DBCHECK, available at http://cameron.hplx.net which can detect most file errors, so that you won't back up a corrupted file. However, once it gets corrupted, your choices are more limited. -- Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 08:14:02 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: J roller for backlight project Comments: To: David Sargeant Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Here's another link -> http://www.printmaking-materials.com/newrollers.html#anchor51555 They have a 1-1/2" soft rubber brayer (2573 Speedball #70 - 11/2" $7.15 ) ... trouble is, I don't know how "soft" compares to their "hard" versions... it may be too soft, and Speedball doesn't seem to make a hard rubber brayer under 4" wide (and hard rubber sounds more like what you're after).

If that's OK, then try rebooting (ctrl-alt-del). This should load the necessary drivers to used the compressed part. I have a DoubleFlash + card, so yours should be similar.

In fact, I am not sure what differences there are, if any. They both look and act the same. Anyway, I used to use a little TSR program downloaded from an earlier incarnation of the S.U.P.E.R. site, that worked with the PrtScr (Print Screen) key to print a pixel-by-pixel screen dump, rotated and nearly the actual size of the screen. All this was with my 95LX. I don't think I ever bothered to check the availability of the same for the 100/200LX. This capability certainly was impressive and entertaining, but I never had any practical use for this myself. I like this printer a lot, and it seems the ideal thing to use with the LX Palmtops, especially to take advantage of the infrared link. I am always trying to find a use for it, but I keep coming up short. I recently unearthed it to use with myu HP 48SX calculator, hoping to use it as a tape-printing calculator for confirming things like tax return calcs. But lo-and-behold, the 48 does not have a "trace" mode to send everything entering the display to the printer. You can only achieve this through programming, and it became more trouble than it was worth. Oh, well. The printer stays, as a paperweight I suppose! - Leonard W.

It's a 24 char's per line printer using Roman 8 font - and they say it does graphics. I don't know what the resolution is - but I suppose if you want to get 80 chars in graphics mode into 24 chars, it's 3 1/3 times compression. I can only imagine what you will find it exceedingly difficult to get to grips with the escape sequences (if that is used for this printer) to set it into graphics mode. It looks like a small calculator printer (which it is of course), which tapers from a rounded form (where the paper roll fits) down to the front end which is much flatter. It actually looks like a referee's whistle (best way I can describe it) I have a laser - HP 5P with infrared. OK it's not very portable (unless you have a long power lead and a willing helper to carry). It prints nicely from the 700LX IR port (which is the same as the 200LX of course). But I'm sure you want portability.

You can only use it with a software modem that runs only under Windows. AFAIK, no chance to get it to work with the LX, sorry. For further information, have a look on my home page.

Originally I had a 30MB Pretec card that was just a Sundisk card, re-labeled, and it was very vast, low power, etc. Then it broke, and I sent it to Pretec, and they had switched suppliers or something and their cards were no longer Sundisk OEM, but some bizarre, and horrible (at least as far as 200LX users are concerned) manufacturer. They replaced my shiny, solid-feeling (i.e. heavy) metal-encased 30MB card with a 32MB card that was much lighter and had a case of black plastic. This card had the same bizarre problems as Ed's: writing was nightmarishly slow, on the order of 10-30 times slower than a normal flash card, unless you held a key down as it was writing, which sped it up quite a bit but still nowhere near as fast as a Sundisk or other cards of the era. Of course, all this only applies to using it in the 200LX -- it must've had some weird conflict with light sleep mode, or some other 200LX-specific hardware, or maybe software ... CardBIOS incompatibility perhaps? Anyway, the card worked fine in other machines, so I eventually traded it to a friend of mine to use in an Omnibook 300. And, as it turns out, it was lucky I did, because it was one of the few cards we could find that worked in that thing... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 May 2000 00:42:56 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , chris@AMLOG.DEMON.CO.UK Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Randle Subject: Connecting to internet via Nokia 7110 mobile IR MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Wotcha Chaps, I've finally replaced my five-year-old Nokia 2110 with a 7110, but haven't yet connected to the internet via the IR modem. Over the last few months, I've read & saved posts relating to connecting, and I hadn't anticipated much trouble. However, no luck.

The phone dials , but almost immediately returns the UK tone (three ascending beeps) which signify a dropped line. If I manually dial the number on the phone first, then try to connect, it gets as far as waiting for the connect, but never does, although there are lots of encouraging type sounds being made.

"Internal Modem" implies an ISA or PCI modem, though - Hard to cable a serial port to an ISA modem, frankly! (Well, without getting into microcontrollers ) What'd be needed is one of the Router packages that works under Dos 5.0 (on the LX) to hook it to that desktop (with a network cable or serial cable to the desktop?) Don't know that field well on the LX, know that Linux on the desktop would let you do that (but not all details), most other OS's have some software available that will set this up for you though - The thing to look for is "Router" software for the desktop, and drivers or some such way to use a "Proxy" modem gateway for the LX, to do what he wants to do - It'd help if we knew what that was (Access a BBS? Send a Fax? Access the Internet? Dial the telephone as a speed dialer?) Also consider just plain adding another machine to the home LAN as a Router (www.linuxrouter.org IIRC has a router package - 386sx16 will handle a 56k modem to the 'Net, so any machine on the home LAN can dial the Internet up.)

I could dial my ISP manually on the S25 and listen to the modem tones on the other side, but I could not connect to the same number if the palmtop dialed it through the S25 modem. Then, while travelling in Germany it turned out to work in some citys, but not in every, and especially not in my home town. I had to learn, that voice calls (dialing manually on the phone) are handled completely different from data calls (when the modem dials) in GSM. I called my GSM and ISP hotlines x-times to no avail. I was demanding too much of them. Finally I got in contact with a technician in a newsgroup. I knew him from TV, where he appears from time to time in mobile related missions. He has good contacts to my GSM provider and solved my problem. The solution was: -My GSM provider offers several phone numbers for my ISP, which I didn't know. But not every phone number worked in every region. -The GSM base stations in the region where I live were wrong configured, so that no number worked. Viag (my GSM provider) fixed that and now I can always go online. Without the help of this technician, I would have been lost. Other than media let us believe, there are not many people using a mobile to connect to the internet, otherwise it would work flawlessly. Be aware, you are touching new ground!

Call your service provider (phone 100 from your mobile) and ask them to enable data (and fax while you're at it). It shouldn't cost anything to be enabled. Takes about 20 mins to update their records. You may be given an additional number for incoming data and fax (the voice stays the same).

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Folks, What strategies do you use to increase the chances that your palmtop would be returned to you if you lost it and it was found by a stranger?? Besides having my contact info and 'REWARD FOR RETURN' on my topcard I also have a weekly macro in my apptbook that will start Memo and open a text file with the same info... Recently I also signed up with www.returnme.com Recd some fairly solid stickers to put on items. These have a unique ID number and instrux for the finder to go to their web site or call a 800 number to report finding the item. Then they will do a FedEx pickup and get you your item back. At this point you pay the FedEx cost, pay them a small fee, and pay the finder his/her reward. Costs a nominal fee to get the stickers, seems worthwhile if it increases the possibility of getting my 200lx back even a little... What do you think?? Obviously these strategies will only work if a relatively honest person finds your stuff..

I have "private" data that's loosely encrypted with the built-in password file encryption, but that's stuff that might be mildly embarrassing if it were compromised, but not devastating. I had full disk backups of my flash and internal RAM, so when I got the new LX, I just popped in the new flashcard and unzipped the backups and in effect, did a brain transplant onto the new one. Also, there was some delay in getting the new LX, so soon after, I resolved to always have a spare, and I keep track of high-cost receipts related to the LX in case I need to file an insurance claim. Also, I record all the serial numbers, not only for ID in case it gets returned, but because it's desired in police and insurance reports (plus it's just good practice). Bottom line (and I know this differs from a lot of people) ... I don't expect to see a lost LX again, and I've prepared for that eventuality. I do have contact information on the opening screen (and did on the first one too). But my feeling is that the usefulness of the LX to me drops in proportion to the amount of time, effort and worry I put into it. If I spent an inordinate amount of time fussing (ie as in worry, not "play") over it .. I'd start to feel like its slave . - Longden > >What strategies do you use to increase the chances that your palmtop > >would be returned to you if you lost it and it was found by a > >stranger?? > > The main time that I worry about this is when travelling.

My GPS (Apollo Precedus) does not record time in the track file. Also, LXGPS allows file management and separate recording of different data series, while the Precedus dumps all track data into one general file, limited to 2000 points. However, with LXGPS there seems to be a problem of data resolution. Track points and waypoints, according to the manual (LXGPS.DOC), are recorded as integral numbers of degrees followed by a floating point number of minutes with fractions of two decimals only. Tipically, I get readings like 3639.24, (36 degrees and 39.24 minutes). The maximum resolution for degrees of latitude (111 km per degree) is thus 18 meters which, of course, is inadequate for surveying. My GPS records the track in Degrees with 6 decimals which results in a resolution of 11 centimeters (!) in the 6th decimal. This is about adequate for suveying. However, this data is either not handed to LXGPS or it is truncated by this program. Any idea how to increase resolution of LXGPS recorded data to 4 decimals ?

Check out the Purple Open Projects web page at http://www.pfranc.com. This guy has a hardware shareware plan for Garmin GPS connectors. You order a number of connectors, and when you get them you pay what you think they're worth. In fact, I contacted this guy a couple of years back, and he agreed to consider adding the HPLX serial connector to his offering, if we could find the internal pins available somewhere. Seems that I read on the list that there is a source for the actual pins, so maybe we should re-inquire and see if he's still interested. -Chris p.s. Just checked myself, and he's currently working on the e-Trex connector design. Sounds like it will be available real soon now. -- ************************************************************************ R.

Thanks for all comments & suggestions. The problem in my case (as David Cripps said) was that my mobile service provider (Orange) had to enable data/fax calls. My internet service provider (Demon) has a dedicated Orange mobile number which is charged at a discounted Orange mobile to Orange mobile rate. I tried that but no luck. Not entirely sure why. It was originally intended to be used with the Orange data card on older Nokias, and I think that might have some bearing on it. I'll give Demon a call and ask. Next I tried their standard dial-up number, and got straight through at 9,600. E-mail sent successfully. Wow! FYI, my phone's software rev. (key: *#0000#) is 4.80. I've subsequently transferred SMS messages backwards & forwards using D&A's script for their Robot/LX s/w. All good fun. The phone's pretty nifty too. I can't help but feel that they should have concentrated more on the user interface & functionality for using the device as a phone, and a little less on games & 35 ring tones (only 3 of which sound like a phone).

I > have searched the Super site, but could not find any. DS is double speed. The processor's crystal is replaced with one that runs it at twice the normal speed. This double speed normally makes the screen look odd, so a special driver is needed to correct the screen and serial communications. The palmtop's built-in self test will measure the processor's speed. Close all of you open applications. Now turn your palmtop off. Now hold down the ESC key while you turn it on. This gives you the self-test menu. If the screen is garbled, then th e machine has a double speed upgrade, so just reboot. If you can read the screen, run the processor test. If the result is about twice the normal range, then you have a double speed upgrade. DO NOT run the RAM card test on your PCMCIA card.

Well, in my not so humble opinion, Freyja is the best editor for the 95LX. Granted, it is based on EMACS, which leads to a set of commands and controls that you either love or hate, but it has support for menus like any built-in 95LX program (so you don't *have* to learn EMACS commands unless you find it too slow to use the menu all the time). The good things about Freyja are that it is System Manager compliant - you don't have to be in DOS to run it and can run it alongside other applications (although Freyja tends to eat a fair amount of memory, but that's configurable), it supports softfonts, right down to a tiny 80x25 font that is pretty much unreadable. The 64x20 (or something like that) font is pretty good though, and a good comprimise. Other than that, Freyja also supports some alignment commands (at least centering of text) and cut and paste (EMACS style) Of course, Freyja might be overkill if all you want to do is edit small text files and if you're generally happy with Memo except for the EOL display (which I didn't like either - I wonder why HP left it in?). Buddy for the 95LX has a feature that removes the EOL display, so that's a solution too. Both programs can be found in the 95LX section of the SUPER site.

I used to use qedit on my 95lx. Qedit wants a 80x25 screen but I made a macro that would make a 16 line window and I used a batch file that called qedit and made it run that macro. It works beautifully. I still do that on my 200lx in the 40x16 and 64x18 modes. You can also set wordwrap to keep your text within the screen width with a macro. I don't normally do this since I only edited programs, but the times that I have done it it worked just fine. Qedit is a very powerful editor and it's small (53k) and only the executable file is actually needed. As soon as I got an sram card I also started keeping the configuration program onboard too.

The `internal upgrade' is _only_ useful on the 95/100/200. Memory cards are useful in _all_ of your machines with PCMCIA slots, and the memory cards are a valuable vehicle for moving information from one system to another. The memory _inside_ your machine is _only_ of use to the machine, nothing else. At the same cost I'd prefer the PCMCIA card. At half the cost it is a no-brainer. > 2)I have another problem, I live in Europe and therefore I would have to > send my Palmtop to the USA.

The Precedus is not DGPS-capable. For that you need to know the satellites used in obtaining a position, which probably will differ between mobile and base stations unless you're working in the Sahara and staying fairly close to the base station (GPS signal path is subject to all kinds of obstructions - buildings, trees, etc., as well as atmospheric conditions). DGPS correction data consists of the error inherent in *each satellite's signal*, not in actual physical location. See also: http://joe.mehaffey.com/poordgps.htm. The Precedus may record 6 decimal places of precision, but it will still be *accurate*only to 2.5 decimal places, same as any other receiver. You won't be able to get *accurate* post-processing data, no matter how *precise* the numbers are, because you won't know if you were using the same satellites. Sorry.

To adjust for the palmtop's pixel aspect ratio, you'll need to make the original file 640 x 240 NOT 640 x 200. After everything else seems OK, use the software to change ONLY the vertical dimension from 240 to 200. The image will look squashed on the windoze machine, but will be correct on the palmtop.

This is most interesting because it would invalidate any measurements based on post-processing differential correction, as most likely the field receiver will, for a good part of the fixes catch some satellites in the group different fom the ones the base station receives. The question here is what is "accurate" ? When I hired a Magellan special survey field unit for a day (purchase price around $6000) the recorded fixes were post processed with data taken at the base station with another unit equal to the one I had taken with me. I was assured (with SA still in place), that the error would be not greater than 1 meter. Is the error you quote covered by the range of 1 meter ? Otherwise, the topographers I contacted would have invested 12.000 Dollars into useless equipment. This seems unlikely to me. So what do you mean by "accurate" ?

Look for SECDEV14.ZIP on S.U.P.E.R. http://www.palmtop.net/super.html SC is a DOS device driver that makes an encrypted file look like another drive on your system. You pick the size of the drive (and therefore that file size) and also choose a password. I use a 64K drive size which is plenty big enough for the few files and passwords I keep in it. You have to login and logout to make the drive accessable or not. You can also set a timeout value so the drive automatically becomes locked after you haven't accessed it for a predetermined time. SC uses the IDEA cipher which is supposed to be very good. I am not a cryptographer and I can't comment on the security of its implementation in SECDEV14. Like most any encryption product it comes down to blind trust because 99.999% of us don't have the skills to evaluate them and there is so much marketing hype that the producers (usually) aren't to be trusted. I feel confident in saying SecDev is (probably) FAR more secure than any encryption built into the 200LX. cheers...

Everything on the LX is still working ... you just can't see it. We can give you more guidance if we knew what resources you had.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Hi, The easiest way should be: 1st download the driver you need from times2tech.com 2nd Install Transfile 200 (On your desktop/laptop) and connect to the Hp 200lx through the serial cable (turn off both of before plugging in though!!). 3rd Press the archive button (The first of the application buttons) on the Hp 200lx (Both machines must be on at this point). 4th Run Transfile 200 on your desktop. You can now control your hp 200lx from your desktop. 5th Transfer the driver to the c: drive on the Hp. Transfer a config.sys file you have previuosly created to the c: drive. The config.sys should include (device c:\spd31.sys) or the name of the driver you have just transferred. 6th Press control +alt +del on the Hp 7th It should work now. Maybe you need to change the boot sequence to make it boot from drive c: I'm not sure about that. Maybe somebody can add this info.

Your composite lat-long is weighted based on the "best" signals, while a DGPS log will contain *all* the timing signals. Thus the two sites will be able to use the best satellites they have in common, rather than a (possibly substantially different) local constellation. It's this need for the specific satellite data that also limits the working radius of DGPS stations. > The question here is what is "accurate" ?

Lat-long without DGPS is good to about 10 m, which is about the 2.5 decimal minutes. Post-processing, or real-time processing, correcting each individual satellite signal can yield the 1 m. accuracy cited. BUT, it requires adjustment of each individual satellite's timing signals. For this reason, your proposed recording of lat-long data at two locations will not provide reliable corrections. It assumes that in all cases every satellite's signal at locations A & B will be used to provide the same weighted input to the final location. A good way to see where the problem arises is to go to a large building with clear space on at least two sides.

Flash memory is slower to write to than ram but it's not much slower to read. I've never found this to be a problem. Some people have measured and found battery life reduced up to 15% with some brands of flash cards. I've never measured and I use a Sandisk card, which I believe is supposed to be the best, but I've never noticed a decrease in battery life. If it's decreased it's not enough to notice. There is one other issue with power. Some alkaline batteries (Duracell for one) can't put out the larger current that's suddenly needed when writing to the flash card and the write can fail and corrupt the data in the card. HP reccomends not using Duracell with flash cards. However, Duracell may have fixed this by now. I haven't heard anything about it for a while. I use Walgreens alkalines when I'm not using rechargables and I've never had a problem with this. I use NiCad rechargables most of the time. This problem doesnt exist if you use rechargable batteries. > 2)I have another problem, I live in Europe and therefore I would have to > send my Palmtop to the USA.

My personal opinion is that flash is the better way to go if you don't use a PCMCIA modem. It costs less. It's easy to replace or upgrade. It's extremely reliable and if your batteries go dead you don't lose the flash contents. It doesn't need power to retain it's contents. If you want to use a PCMCIA modem or network card, or probably any other PCMCIA device other than a flash card, then adding ram is the obvious best choice. Another advantage of flash is that you can get a flash reader for your pc, back up C: to the flash card and then easily copy the contents of the flash card to the pc for a backup in just less than a minute. It makes backups trivial. Also if you have a laptop you don't even need a flash reader for your pc because all laptops have them. But the flash reader is pretty nice. It seems that adding ram would make backups more problematic, although I haven't used an increased ram palmtop and I don't know what solutions are available.

I'm > looking at buying one and would like some real-world opinions. Does anyone > here have one they want to part with? I have a DC280 which I bought after carefully reading lots of reviews and looking at pictures made by the various cameras. I'm very pleased with my choice. The features are great. It has far more options than I know how to use at this point. the pictures it takes are great. I've found that for most purposes the low resolution works fine for me. The high resolution is nice if the picture will be printed but on screen the low res is as good as the high res. Even the low res is higher than most camera's high res. It said on the box that it had a 20 meg compact flash card, but when I opened it it was actually a 32 meg card. That holds about 70 high res pictures and about 160 low res, using the larger sizes of the pictures I've taken so far. (450k is about the max for high res and 200k is about the max for low res. averages are more like 350k and 150k) One problem that the reviews pointed out turns out not to be true, even though you'll see it in most reviews. They say that it has very low battery life. The problem is that using alkaline batteries they can't really handle writing to the flash. After taking about 10 or 15 pictures you get a low battery indication and can't take any more. However, if you turn the camera off and on again you can take another 5 or 6 pictures. You can do that as much as you like. I don't think the reviewers realized what was going on. If you use NiMH batteries that problem doesn't exist and I've been getting about 60 pictures on a set of 4. The camera comes with NiMH but also with alkaline so you can use the camera right away without waiting till the NiMH is charged. I don't think alkalines are worth using in it. It comes with a built in serial port and a built in USB port but I haven't used either one. I already had a flash card reader on my PC and I just use that to transfer pictures to my PC. The flash card uses a normal format and the pictures are .jpg's. I didn't even bother to install their software on my PC since I don't need it to transfer and I already have Corel Draw and Photopaint and a couple of other image programs. I checked the Kodak website right after I got it and I found a flash upgrade, which I installed. But even that can be done by just copying it to the card if you don't want to connect to the pc.

Folks, What strategies do you use to increase the chances that your palmtop would be returned to you if you lost it and it was found by a stranger?? Besides having my contact info and 'REWARD FOR RETURN' on my topcard I also have a weekly macro in my apptbook that will start Memo and open a text file with the same info... Recently I also signed up with www.returnme.com Recd some fairly solid stickers to put on items. These have a unique ID number and instrux for the finder to go to their web site or call a 800 number to report finding the item. Then they will do a FedEx pickup and get you your item back. At this point you pay the FedEx cost, pay them a small fee, and pay the finder his/her reward. Costs a nominal fee to get the stickers, seems worthwhile if it increases the possibility of getting my 200lx back even a little... What do you think?? Obviously these strategies will only work if a relatively honest person finds your stuff..

They might have changed their batteries now in response to what was a pretty serious problem. I don't think there was any question of battery life or of Duracells being inferior or anything like that. My impression of what was said was just that their chemistry was such that it couldn't handle sudden large loads as well as other alkaline batteries. I don't think that was a real requirement for alkaline batteries before flash came along. By the way, alkaline batteries in general don't handle large short sudden loads as well as other types of batteries. I've found that I have problems with alkalines in my digital camera when it writes to the flash card. This was with Energizers and I tested it with Walgreens batteries, too, and had the same problem. The camera thinks the batteries are low after a few pictures. If I turn it off and on again I can take a few more pictures. I can keep doing this as long as I like.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, this is my strategy: I keep only one file with very sensitive data on my CF card. It contains passwords, PINs and some more data which noone else should ever see. I encrypt it with PGP and have a batch file that calls automatically PGP for decrypting (PGP asks me for the pass phrase, of course), launches PE with the decrypted file, and when I leave PE again, it encrypts the file again and PGP wipes out the decrypted file contents from the flash card. Very confortable for me. I also make a backup of my C: drive on the cf card regulary (abt. every other day). On the C: drive and on the cf card I have a file in each root directory named "__owner.txt" (the leading __ makes it appear at the beginning of a DIR listing directly behind the directories), which contains my name, address and telephone number. When I have to leave the LX somewhere where it could be stolen or lost (e.g. in the car, in a hotel...) I pull out the CF card and take it with me in the portemonnaie. At home I have a backup LX with the same C: drive size (6MB). So when I loose my main LX, it's not a big catastrophe, only a financial loss, but no data loss. The only trouble i have with this setup it that I use Software Carousel, and I think it would be not a good idea to switch between SC areas during the PGP encrypted file is opnend, because in this case it is swapped into the SC file without encryption and if someone uses a disk editor to search for the word 'password' on my disk, he would find the whole file! Maybe I should setup something that shows the contents of __owner.txt after a predefined time. Any ideas about that? Most of Buddy's features don't work properly on my German HPLX, so I don't want to use Buddy.

When the spd31.sys file on the C drive gets hosed, this just merely automates the process of restoring it (from the flash card) back to the proper location on drive C. If the C drive crashed, resulting in a reinitialization of the drive (back to its original generic contents), then all functions will be working (except the display will be unreadable) ... a subsequent reboot using the flash card with this header should remedy that.

If the entire area of the inside top cover was used (excluding approx 5mm around edges), the screen area would be approximately 150mm wide x 60mm high. Preserving the same aspect ratio the viewable area would be about 87.6 sq cm; over 50% greater than the current area of about 56.87 sq cm (based on screen size of 121mm x 47mm). While a little redesign would be required to show the function key positions, as they are also shown on the keyboard the loss of the F key labels would be a trade off I would easily live with for the greater legibility of the screen.

To find out the right baud rate, I did some tests with IR.EXE in server mode from D&A. 38400 sometimes reports "interrupt overrun errors". 19200 never. Hence I switched my IR speed in WWW/LX from 38400 to 19200. I just played again with IR SERVER and baud rates with a strange result: If I set the baud rate to 38400 and issue at&v, I get: at&v ACTIVE PROFILE: E1 Q0 V1 X5 &C1 &D2 &Q0 &S1 &Y0 S00:000 S01:000 S02:043 S03:013 S04:010 S05:008 S07:060 S08:002 S10:100 S12:050 S14:010 S21:112 S22:016 S25:000 S27:000 S34:002 S35:007 S38:000 S39:000 S40:000 S41:001 S42:061 S43:061 S44:048 S45:006 S46:000 S47:000 S48:000 OK If I reduce the baud rate to 19200 or 9600, I only get the last line: at&v S45:006 S46:000 S47:000 S48:000 OK This behavior is always reproducible. Either the 8210 or IR seems to "omit" the first 5 lines.

I have no problems with 19200, but sometimes I cannot connect with 9600, same as you. However I didn't try often. > With Peichls Ring.com I get EMI errors/sec=3D1 This is almost impossible.

In general LCD screens map the logical pixels being displayed on a one-to-one basis with physical pixels, thus you have a lot of unused real estate on your laptop. You will also see this if you open a command prompt full-screen from Windows or on starting Windows unless Toshiba designed a custom splash screen. It is possible to make a video driver, or display BIOS, resample this to fill the physical screen, but results tend to be crude and blocky. Omnibooks can be configured to do this. It sounds like Toshiba's designers decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

A few years ago a lot of people had problems but they didn't really know Duracells were the cause until HP announced it. So it was a real problem. I guess it isn't now. I've tried the rechargable alkaline batteries without much success. I'm not good at remembering to recharge before they get very low, which is what you're supposed to do with them to get good use from them. Actually I thought the rechargable alkalines were rated at 2500mAH or 2700mAH or some such. Other people have commented that if you don't let them discharge much before charging them they get good life from them. But it seems to me that that does away with the benefit of the the higher mAH rating. Radio Shack's latest high capacity Nicads have a 1,000 mAH rating. I've used them for years, and misused them badly by overcharging and charging before they need it and I've never had any problems with them. My oldest ones are probably 7 or 8 years old. Maybe older. A few of my oldest C cells are starting to get stained and I'm getting nervous about them, but they still work just fine. I've used those heavily year after year. I guess I'll replace the C cells soon. None of my AA cells have ever had any problem at all. Even though these batteries are initially pretty expensive, in the long run I think they're about the cheapest you can buy. I did buy a charger with a conditioner about a year ago, but I can't really tell that it matters. Previously I've always used one of their chargers with just a timer and charged them twice since the timer wasn't set with HiCaps in mind. That gave me an overcharge of about 25% every time I charged them, with no appearant bad effect. I've recently bought some Kodak NiMH rechargables rated at 1600 hours and 1000 charges as spares for my camera, and I've been experimenting with them in the palmtop. I've always heard that they self discharge really fast but that doesn't seem to be a serious problem so far. But I haven't used them enough to know yet and the batteries may be better when theyre brand new.

I'm not sure this is the one you mean. There are a couple of models. This is the original, I believe. I've read on the Palm newsgroups that the connector, even though it's strange looking, is actually an RS232. If that's true it probably could be connected to the serial port of the 200lx and a driver could be written to make it work. This is not a keyboard you'd want to use all day. It's much easier than entering data with a stylus but it's still not that great. It's barely big enough for touch typing. But it is big enough. I haven't used it much because I really never enter much data at a time in my Palm. Some of the other keyboards for the Palm might be better.

The original is a non-foldable type with a flip-cover. The keyboard the other fellow was refering to is made of metal, folds almost as small as a palm (in 4 parts) and opens up to a full size keyboard. I have forgotten the original maker's name (tri something), but now it is being distributed under the palm name. I could ask you to describe your keyboard in more detail, but if you (or anyone else) happens to have a direct URL to this product, it would be even better.

You can also remove the screen with leaving the right hinge as it is!!). The screen unit consists of the glass part, the circuit board and a metal construction which holds both parts together. This metal construction has several metal 'lips', which are bended towards the inner of the whole construction (if you see it as a 2 dimensional thing). If you bend the lips on the left side of the screen (say the first two lips in both rows) sway from the position where they hold the screen together, and then bend them back, but so that they press both parts a little bit more together, you may have fixed the problem. Please let me know if it worked. P.S.: Don't bend these lips too much, because they could break! If you need more assistance in the details please drop me a line!

I use MS Outlook 97 Version 8.03.4629, and MS Win NT 4.0 SP5. I also have MS IE5 installed, if it makes any difference. I must admit I am quite impressed with the fact that I can get my calendar into the HP - I rely on it quite heavily. I don't export my calendar from the HP to the desktop, yet, that's why I have to merge and keep backups (or even duplicate manually some items from the HP to the desktop, but it's in the minority of instances). I have a colleague who has the Compaq 2100 or something CE2 PDA which has very impressive sync software to Outlook and e-mail etc. I'm going to buy such a device for my wife very soon now - but for myself I'm stuck to the HP because of the keyboard and ruggedness and DOS software capability. I am a programmer by trade, so I find it fun to develop small apps for myself. Granted, boxers think it's fun to get hit in the head. I will also start developing CE database apps when I buy the PDA, but eversince I saw the HP back in 91 or 92 I wanted one. My options in OL2LX are set as follows (I use the defaults mostly) Appbook name: ol2hp.adb Template name template.adb (I use the default template file). This might be important. This is the file datestamped 1999/04/13 22:04 template.adb I export Appointments I export Todos. All else is false. I don't bother deleting the ol2hp.adb file before exporting. I open Outlook before starting the export (usually). I mostly merge the outlook items into the HPLX but this causes some duplicates (especially recurring appointments) which I sometimes have to delete manually. HTH. Feel free to contact me if you need more info. If you want to sell (give away???) your HP you'll find many takers, so don't give up too easily. ----------------- Donald Klopper - dhKit (cc) Delphi Analyst/Programmer BHIS Consulting Room 127, Sedibeng Building, Pretoria Tel: +27 12 336-7256 Cell:+27 82 468-7480 klopperd@dwaf.pwv.gov.za Alt: dhkit@icon.co.za o__ _.>/)_ (_) \(_) .-+= This tagline is umop apisdn. =+-. > -----Original Message----- > From: Carla Ruigh ÝSMTP:swngdncr@GARLIC.COM¨ > Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 5:10 PM > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu > Subject: Ol2lx file crashes 200lx > > Hey all, > > I've been trying to use the Ol2lx software I got off the SUPER site to > put my outlook calendar in HP appt. book format.

I was hoping that others might have some insight or ideas. When I use a PCMCIA modem, I tend to get corruption of my 32 Meg drive only. The original 1.4 Meg RAM drive is OK as is the flash card. This has happened with 3 different modems. It has also happened while using either lxcic or cic100 as the modem driver.

With this setup I was able to run Post/LX and acCIS 4.0 from the 1.4 Meg C: drive with out any problems. I then copied my c:\_dat, c:\www, and c:\accis4 directories over to the F: drive and added rdswap.exe to the config.sys. After a reboot I had the 32 Meg drive as C: and the 1.4 Meg drive as F:. When I went online with Post/LX this w ay, I got several errors on the 32 Meg drive. I got cross linked files, garbage characters in some file names, several lost clusters, and an invalid directory.

Look for the OPEN program on the SUPER site. It's designed to let you open certain native files (.?db, .wk1) from Filer by hightlighting and pressing Enter. Also, it allows you to open the file using a native built-in app by specifying the file on a DOS command line. Works using some keybuffer tricks, and 123 worksheets may take more keyboard buffer than is normally available (there should be a note in regards to that included with OPEN).... so you may need the kbuf128.sys program (from KEYSTUFF) to extend the buffer .... or you may not need it if you're running Mack's recent DS driver, which I believe includes a keyboard buffer extender also. Once you have that working, it's just a matter of creating an AppMgr icon with a command line in the Path field with both OPEN and the spreadsheet specified that you want to load.

From what I recall about a pcmagazine utility, 123 "erases" the keyboard buffer as it loads, thereby "swallowing" keystrokes that may have been sent to it from a batch file. There was a way using a few "time delay" codes in that program to get around this. Maybe the hp version reacts similarly.

The MIDI transmission speed for PC compatibles I believe is 38.4 kbps, but I seem to recall discussion on the list saying the COM1 UART speed is limited, which is why no modem faster than 14.4k can be used on COM1. It also seems to me that I transfer files to & from my desktop computer at 57600 through COM1, however. Sorry if I'm out to lunch. Can anyone clarify this, or has anyone used an LX to control MIDI devices?

Search the archives as far back as two years ago or so, when I last recall this being discussed fully (but I did get off the list a few times, so it might have been discussed more recently than that). Specifically, someone (I think the name was Tony?) was using a portable midi device with the hplx. You could also try dejanews, searching in comp.sys.palmtops. Also, search the palmtop paper web site. The issue might have been addressed on the paper itself. Good luck with your search.

Software transfer programs can do some neat tricks to operate faster, but this doesn't seem to apply to modems. Whether it would apply to a MIDI device is doubtful, likely the device might complain about the speed, or it might simply work slower.

If you have XF R.10 or one of the R.11 betas, it's pretty easy. You just mark the icon you want to move, put the cursor where you want it to show, then hit either ÝSHIFT¨ÝNum Pad Decimal¨ or Menu - Edit - Order. You will need to change the Palmtop screen sort order in finder.env to OFF to see the effect. If you want to preserve the present order except for a few changes, try marking the first icon, moving the cursor back to the first position, then use the above procedure.

Comments: To: steve@CARDERFAMILY.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Old versions of Perl 4 do work fine on the 200, but some timing tests might be in order before committing much work to any 200 based perl process as it may run quite slow. perl is an excellent language for all kinds of text manipulation/matching tasks, and the current builds run very well on both Unix and Windows based systems. While current windows/Unix versions of perl are by no means plug-to-plug compatable with the V4s that run on the 200, they tend to be a superset, so most perl that runs on the 200 runs just fine on larger machines. The reverse, of course, isn't true.

I am still curious what causes such. Today, the last message I found dates back to 20 May, and someone wonders whether the group is down. Occasionally there seem to be no new messages for some days. The number of the last message read in WWW/LX-Post's session reports then usually is higher than the highest nr in the range. It appears that the latter is occasionally decreased with several hundreds, so Post thinks there is nothing new to download. This can be easily repaired in PostLX: Menu Externals Setup F6, lower the highest nr read to a value lower than the highest nr in the range mentioned in the most recent session report, low enough to include missed messages. A bunch of messages can then be downloaded. Sometimes there will still appear to be no missed messages among these, as is the case today. I expect ther will be many new messages at once soon. Could someone explain what causes this, and could the numbering problem be solved? (I would rather like to see the lowest number go up when messages are removed from the News server).

In order to isolate the problem, I suggest 1-unload CIC100 or LXCIC, insert the modem, switch the palmtop on and check your 32MB drive now load CIC100 or LXCIC and test: 2-insert the modem and check your 32MB drive. 3-use SysMgr Datacomm and set it up for COM2. Try some simple AT commands like AT&V 4-use Datacomm and dial the number of your provider using ATDT... check your 32MB drive after every test.

This is the part that's most disturbing. Especially when people want to distribute a new version of their software (e.g. CCLXPOP, FFDB lately) and there's no response. Brian even asked if anyone else was willing to host it. So it's not like there's nothing new to put on Super. If updates have been delayed for some reason, I think a lot of people would appreciate hearing this, rather than nothing. If the maintainers just don't have the time or interest anymore, maybe the job should be passed on to others. I greatly appreciate all the mostly thankless work that Mitch and the others have done in the past, but I also think that Super is a valuable resource that I would hate to see stagnate. With HP out of the picture, once we stop supporting the LX ourselves, it is doomed. So, having said that, I'm offering to temporarily host any files that anyone wants to make available (no warez please).

Or substring-1 may be on one line and substring-2 may be on another ... and he'd want both to appear, and in the proper order. Find (and most filters) only does 1 string per command. You could run the files thru several filters, each with their own search string, and concatenate the result, but then the order of the lines will be compromised (one of his conditions). A knotty problem ... tho probably nothing to the Perl folks or anyone who uses regular expressions. EGREP is a freeware search filter (from byHeart Software) that will do the job (don't recall where I got it from... it's v2.0, 19k and comes with a nice text help file ... and is NOT the one on Simtel). The command: "egrep -i "prt|button" win.ini > results.txt" Finds all lines containing either "prt" or "button", regardless of the case and stores the output lines in result.txt.

He also had another book called Thinking Forth, that I've been unable to find. I don't do a lot of programming, but like Frank Sergeant's Pygmy Forth. there's a version just for the 100/200LX palmtops on SUPER (modified by yours truly) -- but if you're not planning on replacing the stolen LX, that version probably isn't what you want...

I have a few questions. How can I startup the program so that I have a split screen with c:\ on the left and a:\ on the right in file-detail view? How can I switch to an AppManager-type view with one keypress from this starting view? (and how would I return to the starting view with one keypress?) And finally, I'm finding that I have even less space for other apps to be open with X-finder (that's without using Filer or AppMan). I thought that it would be more efficient, memory-wise than the internal apps.

I already had a v2.3 set, but bought a v2.4 set (closer to the LX version by a smidgen) ... mostly because my v2.3 set only has 5.25" disks and I didn't have a drive (the v2.4 set has 3.5" disks). So, if anyone wants to buy my old v2.3 set (5.25" diskettes are in a sealed package, and includes manuals), it's available for $15 plus buyer pays shipping (which sometimes isn't cheap owing to the weight, but probably less than $10 in the US). Email me off list if interested.

Is the 200lx dead? Absolutely not. The 200lx will remain viable for as long as you (the user) want it to be. If the windows CE machines are not to your liking....then stay with the 200lx. You are the master of your own domain (I hate Seinfeld but quote fits). As long you and other users don't want CE machines and continue to use the 200lx...then companies like Thaddeus will continue to support the 200lx. In the final analysis... it is your opinion (and your opinion alone) as to how long the 200lx will meet your needs. If you don't like the CE machines or the palm machines...then you have the power in your wallet to tell the manufacturers of CE devices and palm devices to stick their machines where you want them stuck.. You have the power to tell these manufactures (with your feet) that you going to stay with the 200lx until they come up with a device that meets YOUR needs as determined by YOU. Only you can determine when that time will come. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 28 May 2000 01:38:52 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , GJColeman@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: George Coleman Subject: Re: How can I extract two or more lines from a file?

To save memory, you can close Filer with the "close Filer" program from the SUPER site. Normally, the palmtop won't let you close Filer. That should free up quite a bit of memory.

There are regular expressions and then there are regular expressions. Xgrep supports "Basic Regular Expressions" (I think that is the official name), which do not support the OR operator. It is, however supported by the "Extended Regular Expressions". I think Egrep earned its name from the fact that it supports Extended Regular Expressions. GNU Grep also has the '|' operator and can be found on Simtel.

FIND and XGREF do not have an OR capability, which would keep the sequence of records found. Perl would be too much space-consuming for my 2 MB machine. I thought of the less attractive solution of using XGREP to extract records, with line numbers included (if it is possible), and then using 123 (in-built) to sort the records again. But then I could do the whole post-rocessing with 123. Nevertheless, thanks for the pointers to EGREP or SED. These are surely faster then 123. I will have to look for a copy.

Hmm, maybe or maybe what those user want fits nicely with some other platform. My Middle daughter & I are Palmtop users, my wife, son, son in law and eldest daughter are Pilot users. My son became a pilot user after breaking the screen on his 100lx. The pilot is better than paper but he still misses his 100lx.

As I understand it, some new stuff, both system and application software, is still being written for such systems as the Radio Shack Color Computer, Radio Shack Model 100, Timex Sinclair, Atari 800, Commodore 64, et al. And lets not forget the new Imsai II that was recently made available. I suspect that in the not too distant future, new computers will become more specialized and new general purpose computers, the kind you can enjoy hacking, will become less common. Computers will become appliances. This is the direction most software and hardware manufacturers envision and are making plans for. When that happens I think more and more people will be drawn to older computers. A lot of people with tinkering mentalities are satisfied with making macros in Word now because they don't know anything really exists below that level. When Word or other programs develop to the point where they just do what you want without all that silly macro programming :) then some of those people will start looking for other things to tinker with and some of them will find old computers. So, yeah, maybe the 200lx is dying a slow death. But I believe it's earned a prominant place in hacker's heaven.

I am able to use a System Macro to sequentially load several 123 sheets and execute a 123 macro for each sheet. An unexpected beep still occurs whenever a 123 macro is called from System Manager, but does not cause any problem. Interestingly, the beep does not happen if the System Macro does other tasks, like filling cells. The System Macro does no longer go wild (jumping to an other application, for example) since a saved the System Macro after creation. I do not have an explanation for this behaviour.

(and how would I return to the starting view with one > keypress?) Don't think you can do it EXACTLY as you describe. AFAIK, XF always starts in the Palmtop screen (sort of like the windoze desktop). The icon labeled RAMFlash in the default Palmtop setup takes you to a split screen file viewer. The parameters for which view is used are set in finder.env -- the comments and docs will explain how. You can return to the Palmtop screen by pressing 0 (zero - not letter O). This is the reverse of what you really want, but it only takes one keypress to switch either way. > And finally, I'm finding that I have even less space for other apps to = be > open with X-finder (that's without using Filer or AppMan). I thought = that > it would be more efficient, memory-wise than the internal apps. JP mentioned closing filer with closeflr.com. This works fine, but there's an easier way built into XF. In the finder.env file look near the end for a parameter called "opening action" and change it to look like this: #Opening action %o , ,$t Filer #Close Filer on launch This saves about 58K, and if you don't open appmgr, you have a net loss of about 7 or 8 K with XF. IMHO, a fair trade for the extra power. I also used Key200 to change the &...(More) key to start XF instead of AppMgr.

With a few exceptions, pygmy.dow lines up. I added some stuff in the unused blocks, and may have moved a couple of things. The editor is fairly extensively modified, also. I'll see what I can do about listing any modifications. Also there is a file of source extensions (extend.scr) that has no corresponding .dow file. I should write something for that. There is also a small library of Forth words to use Pygmy to create progs that look and feel like the built-ins or PAL apps. (forthpal.zip on SUPER). It has its own .dow file.

Yes, I had compressed version 1.61 before distributing it. I sent out 1.7 without compressing it. Version 1.71 is also now distributed compressed already. I don't use DIET anymore, but use COMPACK (available from SUPER) because I found it compressed a little more.

I recently used Perl 4 on my LX phone database, to change area codes for a bunch of people with a certain phone prefix. I used GDBDUMP to export the LX file to a text file, ran a command-line Perl script, then GDBLOADed the data back in. My LX database contains over 1000 names (the text file was 180 KB), and probably 200 of those needed to be converted. The command line was: perl -pe "s/\(972\) 480/\(214\) 480/g" < indata.txt >outdata.txt Perl ran this in nine seconds on my DS 200LX. I think this performance is pretty good! It runs the script in a lot less time than it takes to type it in.

I also like how the new CE devices have a voice recorder. I find the one on my Nino very useful. I've heard of someone that built a voice recorder for the lx but it was a 'mad scientist' experiment. Another thing that starts to make LX look shabby is the lack of any good wireless options. It looks like ricochet may be nice if it ever goes nationwide. I'd have to disagree on the Internet software point, though. I think that the software options are very good and a lot of talented people can be thanked for that. The guys at D&A do great job on the high end and the POST/LX and wattcp type programs are excellent freeware alternatives.

There are still many machines bein bought (and sold) to new users who buy hardware and software. It is not dead, but it is getting smaller. The most disagreement I have with the statement about stagnation in development of hardware and software. From my perspective, there is no slowdown at all in terms of new stuff, and/or updating existing s/w by adding new features. Since November last year, I heard of three new types of hardware that people made to work with the palmtops. I could swear it was a faster rate than in prior times (pre-November and prior to the time when HP ceased to manufacture these babies...) but I did not track it with sufficient attention to prove it :-) ... As any mature platform, this one too is going through a stability phase, where the market diminishes some because people are lured by newer technology. At the same time, this is the phase when new people join because the platform has some strong points to offer to them. It think that if the rate of joins is sufficient, there will be sufficient market to create "things" for the market, and in any case, new technology will always be subject to trial - does this work with my 200LX? Last point: You stated that the new modems are generally drawing too much jouice. I believe that you have not checked the facts. If anything, when the 56Kb modems came out, at first they drew a lot, but successive generations found better combinations of electronic components and the draw has benn actually declining. We saw this with the 33.6 modems - at first they drew 350, and now there are three that draw less than 150mAh (I have two of these). The 28.8 modems exhibited the same development cycle, albeit they were quickly supplanted by 33.6 modems. The 56kb modem Thaddeus sells draws substantially less than 150mAh. There are some 56Kb CF modems out now too and they draw less than 120mAh. Avi The above is my own private opinion.

What it does not is to redirect the lpt to com. but I think this is hard-wired in the LX, since I don't use any redirection command on my LX and I can print to LPT1 or PRN even without redirection!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My 2 cent's worth: There are currently no effective replacement for the 200lx in terms of: -DOS compatibility which means hundreds of readily available software including a variety of compilers & documentation -Pocket size -Long battery life -Ability to use standard Type II PC card (proprietary cards are inevitable very expensive) Neither Win CE, Palm nor Psion offer all these features. In addition to the usual features of a palmtop type computer ie address book, database, notepad etc., the ability to run old dos programs is a very usefull feature. For instance in my case: I am an anaesthetic registrar and use a program called "stanpump" to model anaesthetic infusions during an anaesthetic. (This gives a calculated blood concentration which is an indication of anaesthetic depth.) I cannot afford to run this under Win CE with a DOS emulator due to the risk of it crashing half way through due to some unexpected interaction from another program. I also have a program that allows me to extract physiological information from the anaesthetic machine using the serial port. I could program this with the help of freely available source code for serial communications from Simtel. It seems that it would be significant undertaking doing this on Win CE / Psion - correct me if I'm wrong. I can alter & recompile these programs on the spot & it can run without modification on the latest Pentium notebook. Sure, Psion offers OPL, however this means getting to grips with another language (after barely being able to help myself in c++) and spending money on extra books etc. Then I would also not be able to run it on any other platform. Ease of use is a significant factor - my wife is very enthusiastic about her Palm with it's "one button sync". She certainly could not care less about programming the thing. Unfortunately ease of use comes at the expense of versatility.... Until the unlikely event of someone developing a 386 or 486 based palmtop, the HP200LX is not dead.

The driver for Office upgrades is that a few people who just MUST have the very latest of whatever there is, upgrade as soon as MS brings out a new version of anything. Then they start distributing documents, presentations and spreadsheets that satisfied users of the older Office suites cannot read, since MS has made the file formats incompatible between versions. So, then the rest of us are forced to upgrade just so we can continue to share documents.

Comments: To: xxxxx xxxxxxx MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The thing to consider when trying to choose between an internal RAM upgrade and just using a flash card is whether you want to use a PCMCIA modem also. If you have all of your programs and data on the flash card, then you don't have any of that available when you pull out the flashcard to put in the modem. But if you don't _NEED_ to use a PCMCIA modem, then the flashcard "upgrade" makes the most sense for the reasons you gave. There is a similar argument if you _NEED_ to use a network card, then it is almost essential you have the internal RAM upgrade. As for the disadvantages of the flashcard, there really are none. The "slow" issue with flashcards is one from long ago. Current technology cards are just as fast as the internal RAM. Don't worry about it. Of course, battery life will be affected slightly because you are powering more electronics, but not enough to be a problem. An internal RAM upgrade would reduce battery life also. Don't worry about it. A real advantage to having a flashcard is that it is non-volitile, meaning that it does not need power to hold the storage, so if you have a battery crash, the flashcard won't forget anything, unlike the internal RAM. Also, the flashcard is removable and very small, so it makes a good security measure for your programs and data. I carry the palmtop on my belt 90% if the time, but when I cannot carry the palmtop, I have the flashcard in my pocket. My data (which is far more valuable than the hardware) is always safe with me. Personally, I only use Sandisk Type II flashcards and Compact Flash cards. I have never had a failure or incompatability or unusual power drain with a Sandisk card.

Sorry, I'll try again: 1-Load the program with the FFDB.WD file I sent. 2-Press Fn-right arrow (end) to go the last note 3-On that note, which should start with *grandview, press F3 4-In edit, press F3 to go to the botton of the note 5-At the bottom you will see the following lines from note 2, which don't belong in this note: 16. Up to 650 notes per file 17. Up to 32k bytes per note Please press down arrow or right arrow to move to the next note I'll be glad if this happens only on my palmtop! Also, the original note is truncate at the point the above wrong text shows up. Domingo P.S. Before I sent this text I decided to retest the problem and discovered the following: 1-The above error only ocurs in the second zooming level. 2-In small font, the text gets truncated after the second page (it's 14 pages long) 3-I went back to the second level and the text is still 2 pages long 4-Same with the 3rd zooming level 5-I exited the program, restarted it, and was able to reproduce #1 above, as long as I did not zoom. As soon as I did, it truncated the text to 2 pages. 6-I loaded the text to memo in each of the above examples, and it looked the same as displayed in FFDB. 7-I cold booted, reinstalled the program (after saving the modified FFDB.WD), removed the ffdb.env from c:_dat, removed all TSR's except moreexm, same results. 8-I exported the entire FFDB.WD to a text file (apparently it doesn't export just one note), and, surprise, the text of *grandview is all there, uncorrupted!

If you are familiar with the japanese program FIT, then it is like FIT with growth hormones. Each note is a separate, resizable window. While windows are supposed to be able to go up to 32k, I am having some trouble with windows much bigger than two pages. This program is best used with notes not much larger than one page (so as not to have to scroll down a lot).. The reason for the increased capacity is compatibility with InfoSelect, which it mimics quite well. The super large windows seem best left to InfoSelect itself (file format is compatible with InfoSelect, and *not* with the previous version, AFAIK. Program is much faster than the original. I am not sure why the author is giving up on it. It is a much more powerful program than before. Try it! Domingo P.S. Brian is being quite modest with the statement below. His program is faster than the notes database, and a *lot* more useful, IMNSHO. > >From: Brian McIlvaine > > string inside all of the notes.

How is this to be done? I have not tried this, but it might work. First convert your 95lx files to 100LX/200LX format using a 100LX or 200LX (or the connectivity pack may do this too). Then visit http://cameron.hplx.net for information about converting the 100LX/200LX files to Outlook. This would be a one-way process, since I don't know of any way to convert 100LX/200LX files back to 95LX format.

Keep up with the technology? You could try it out, a 120 day license follows all these course cds. If you can't find one I could burn you one. Dualboot to find out, a 1 GB partition is nearly a must. Some things seem faster, some are slower... Summa summarium I guess you get a boost. NT networking code is supposedly ~15% faster the W9x. On my pcs it is more stable than W98. I am not a NT-person, so my only stability reference is MS OS sans NT. And Apollo Domain. I like it better than NT. NT had stuff all over the place and I could never get the hang of it. I was forever looking around... W2K has some new networking stuff, amongst other things one doesn't have to reboot all the time. Nice for us testers! I like it better than *nix, it is easier to see most possibilities and changes. Corel Linux might change my opinion on that. I can use a command line, have so from MD-DOS days, but all my programs have been graphical. But there is one caveat: All software is always better on the next generation hardware! WP 5.1 flew on a 486 class computer. Autocad 12 for DOS was greased lightning on a Pentium. W98 is instantaneous on a PIII-600.

Enough stuff is being produced now to keep things interesting and useful for 200lx owners. It's not a problem. But it's not the flood it used to be. Part of the reason is that there are probably a lot of former 200lx developers who have moved on to newer platforms. Another part of the reason is that there is already so much high quality software available for the 200lx. Programmers try to fill a need.

This version allowed me to have a partition on my hard disk that was dedicated to Linux, and to boot just from a floppy. Once the system was booted, I didn't need the floppy anymore. This let me keep the system I normally used, while letting me experiment with Linux by just booting with the floppy.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that a small chess program I used on the LX (gotten from either this list or its predecessor) was freeware, and several copies were sent out to members, and also posted to a website. On examination of the binary by Laust and Mitch Hamm however, the following notation appears: Blubush Chess is broken by : ------ The Duplicators ----- which hints at suspect origins, and a decision was made to not post the game on SUPER. This note corrects my earlier one describing the software as "freeware", when in fact, it may be a hacked and illegal copy, and for that reason, you'll not find it on SUPER, nor should you distribute any copies under the impression that it was freeware, nor characterize it as such, at least not based on my remarks. Since Bluebush Inc doesn't seem to have a web presence (if they still exist at all), I can't verify that the software is "free" (nor do I have the time to research this).

The comment is that I found it _vital_ to _not_ mix use of Partition Magic with _any_ other partition tool (FDisk, Linux Fdisk + other partition tools, NT Disk Administrator, ...). Once I made the decision to allow _only_ Partition Magic write my partitions most difficulties went away. I now have a quintuple boot system (NT4.0, 98, 2K, SuSE Linux, BeOS) that runs just fine on any of the OS, and where _most_ of the disk is seen by all of the various OS... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 09:24:30 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Subject: OT: Seeking Design Help MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Are there any site design experts here on the list?

I have some past experience at low-level formatting and creating multiple drives with fdisk, and that's primarily what I'm trying to avoid. I can make a small degree of backup on 1.44 floppies, but can't backup the whole thing and start from scratch because I don't have the necessary hardware. From what I've learned so far, Linux may not be worth the risk, but ever since I've gotten this particular machine I've wished I could boot into pure DOS without effort, and maybe load win95 as a choice (just the reverse of what now happens).

Comments: To: David Ness MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit IMHO Partition Magic is a superb program from a helpful company. I got Partition Magic about three years ago when I found that my Supercalc 5.5 for DOS acted up under the W95 DOS. I had some initial difficulty installing it and telephoned their helpline in the US from here (Ireland) before competition drove down the telephone charges here. They phoned me back and in a _long_ phone call sorted out the problem. I had DOS 6.22 in a 200mb C: (selected at bootup) partition where I kept my old DOS software, a 300mb D drive (mainly used for parking data from both C drives) which left me 1.5Gb for W95. Recently, I had no trouble shrinking both these partitions to get more space for greedy W95 bloatware applications. It goes without saying that everything in DOS is rock steady and a monster spreadsheet in SC5.5 recalculates instantaneously with my now ageing 120mhz processor and 48mb ram.

But the range of applications we have available, plus the versatility and battery life, make the DS 200LX unbeatable. I think the popularity of Pal and Wince have to do with the fact that people do not want to type--they want to point. We ran into this in the 1970s with IBM 3270 dumb terminals: high-level managers wanted access to the data bases but they did not want to punch buttons on a keyboard--not even the function keys! So we had to give them keyboard-less terminals with light pens attached, and they could point and click at the screen with the light pens.

Comments: To: Daniel Hertrich MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The cable from the palmtop to the midi interface is the lx serial adapter followed by a serial DB9-DB25. Then midi cables are linking the IN and OUT of the interface to a midi keyboard and a sound module (or to the OUT and IN of an unique midi device). Some midi devices have an integrated midi interface. In that case you can connect directly the palmtop to the midi device with the lx serial adapter followed by a serial "cable to host" (DB9-MiniDin8) or with the hard to find palmtop to Mac cable. In any case, you must verify that the software recognize and allows your installation. For example, my Cakewalk v.4 has a driver for my Key Midiator midi interface, but I had to get an other driver (included in v.5) before using the direct connection possibility.

However, I think I would trust PM to take an FDisk created disk and properly handle the shuffling around necessary to get it compressed so that it can be partitioned. PM certainly moves stuff around without difficulty, and I have done enough of it to think highly of PMs reliability. To try to be perfectly clear, I'd have no fear of running PM on an already set-up disk if the current disk had a simple partition structure (i.e. Windows, out of the box, for example). Where I start to worry is when you've used FDisk to do some complicated partitioning thing, and then want PM to do something further.

Certainly I don't run anything across the `whole disk at once' as parts of it are FAT, FAT32, Linux swap, Linux Ext2 and BeOS, along with some VMWare virtual disks, so nothing (other than Partition Magic itself) understands everything.

I think the Palm (I don't know WinCe) and the 200lx appeal to people with different needs. I have both. I keep a 200lx by my phone for numbers, notes, addresses, etc. I keep one by my computer for websites and passwords. I carry another one with me if I'm going to do some programming on the go, such as while waiting for lunch. I also use it for a phone book. I have a Palm that I carry when I don't really expect to need much but want something just in case. It weighs practically nothing. I hardly notice it's there. As for writing vs typing, typing is much easier if you have to enter more than just a few words. No comparision. But for a word or two or three there's hardly any difference except that you don't have to adjust your position as much to write in the Palm as you do to type on the 200lx. Also, it's trivial to draw a small map or quick diagram on the Palm. They both have their uses and their fans and I think it's a little silly to say one is better than the other. Sure, the 200lx is much more powerful. But better depends on your needs.

I wrote an access program for DOS that allowed me to move files from my main computer to the model 100 via its floppy. The down side was that it was only 100K single sided.

Unfortunately, sometimes the CGA colors are just not a good fit on the monochrome screen. Maybe there is a way to adjust the colors used in the Scrabble game. Or it has a monoschome mode.

I think the 1541 disk drive used the IEEE-488 standard, but it it could've been earlier CBM machines, like the PET series that use it (some Commodore equipment did, I know). In any case, it does indeed use serveral lines, so you'd need a parallel port. With a parallel card for the LX, it *might* work, but I'm not sure it would be fast enough (the LX). You could of course connect to the 1541 disk drive via an old Commodore 64 (which are just as abundant as the drives, if not more so!). That should work with a standard serial connection, but it would require custom written software and be rather slow.

I couldn't see a .doc file in the X-finder directory and the finder.env file doesn't have many explanations. Would you know how to make an a: drive app show up on the Palmtop startup screen? I can see various built-in apps listed but no a: drive apps. How can I have RAMFlash start every time with c:\ on the left in detail view and a:\ on the right in detail view (like in Filer)? Can't see this in finder.env. I can see that there are hundreds of settings for X-Finder and it looks like a very powerful app but I'm trying to understand how this power can be made useful. I'd like to start off slowly and just be able to use the program as a replacement for Filer/AppManager. At the moment I can't see the value of having a Windoze-like startup screen. Since we are not using a mouse we have to use keystrokes to access these icons. Why not just have a menu launcher with text? As for all of those back-up/restore icons, I can't use them personally. Wouldn't a regular backup.bat do the job just as easily? >JP mentioned closing filer with closeflr.com. This works fine, but >there's an easier way built into XF.

Shortly after I bought my 200 several years ago I programmed Key200 to take over the PgUp/PgDn keys with PgUp=Calc PgDn=More. I tried out Numlock(?) a couple of weeks ago to have the number keys function as PgUp and PgDn but I found myself needing to use the number keys almost immediately after using the PgUp/PgDn so the program became quite tedious switching back and forth between On and Off for the app. -Eric ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 23:24:28 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ken Hansen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken Hansen Subject: Re: Fluff: Tiqit - World's smallest PC Comments: To: Mike Wagstaff MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit *but* the battery is half the size of an LX, the cost is *obscene* and it has no native I/O, only connectors.

Inotherwords, you didn't need to re-format the new > partitions? And are you saying it creates multiple drive C:'s as opposed > to C: D: E: F: etc? I guess there are two YES answers in there! (G) I was first able to divide an already formatted, data/program laden c: drive into a c:, d: and e: drive. It takes care of moving the data and programs - it first assesses whether you have the room to break it up. Obviously, if your data takes up most of the disk, you will have problems. You do need space to make these moves. The second YES is more remote in my memory. But I was able to create a "second c:" drive which was hidden from the OTHER SYSTEM. This was my dos 5/desqview setup. It has a boot manager (or did, Boot magic, now???) which allowed it to boot to either dos5 or win95 (with a default choice after a countdown period). Again, I don't recall what or how but the manual explained with scenarios how to do what to create a dual boot, two separate operating system setup. It does warn you to back up your system but I did not have capacity to do that. And, yes, after, I was able to "dissolve" the dos c: drive and incorporate the liberated space into the existing c:, d: and e: drives. This does take massaging back and forth as you move partitions front/back into available space and tell it how large to ultimately make things. Again, there does need to be room in some slack space. And as for speed disk or cleanup, Norton, treats each of those partitions as SEPARATE drives on the ONE PHYSICAL harddisk. Just like if you had done it with fdisk, I suspect. So what was one c: drive is now "officially" c: and d: and e: - just remember that no matter what they are called, you would still be putting all of your (data) eggs in one basket. I now have a second physical drive and that too is divided. And when I really want to copy or backup, I try to make sure there is a copy in two partitions on TWO SEPARATE PHYSICAL drives. Oh, I saw David mention Fat, Fat32. Partition Magic can handle conversions between those types (and possibly the nt stuff but I've never been there). I have no doubt that one day MS will purchase Partition Magic, improve on it and it will never work again. So far though they remain a working company with a working product. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 04:34:36 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Subject: WWW/LX - POST/LX and network MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable About three month ago I got network access in the office, also to the = POP3 server. For email I use POST/LX on top of WWW/LX. Since SETCOM became available on http:\www.dasoft.com, WWW/LX acts like plug and play. I don't have to bother, which device I am connecting to. LXCIC and GREP are indentifing the available port, the rest is down by a batchfile, which is called by PreOnline (setup post.cfg). So when I leave the office and use GSM on the raod, it is just a matter of of plug the modem into the PCMCIA port, or just put the GSM device next to the IrDA port and go online. Same at home on the local network. This is very convenient and handy. POST/LX is configured to use PNS200, which I am used to from filer. As editor I use PE. As a result: WWW/LX could be configured easily to meet the requirements (dhcp, fix IP address). The address book, which is used by POST/LX is plain ascii, so I could be created easily with an export from Lotus Notes (about 6000 addresses). - Thanks to Peter Eberl - I do all my email now on my hp200lx. All WORD docs, which I receive as attachments, are opened on key press and the information is available using VIEW. PDF files are received and converted at: PDF-text converter PDF-html converter This service works fast and flawless. SMS is integrated in POST/LX, so all information is controlled and accessible from here. This part is about 95 percent of my daily business. The rest is XLS and PPT files.

I can see various built-in apps listed but no a: drive apps. Simple. Just use Memo or your favorite editor to create a file with the command to start the app. Save it with any name you like, but the extension .XFE or .XFM -- They are almost the same, except .XFE starts the app immediately, and .XFM asks for verification. Add the XF? file to your palmtop subdirectory. You can then choose an icon you like, give it the same name as the .XF? file (but extension .ICN) and add it to your icon archive. After re-initializing, it will appear at the end of the palmtop screen. > How can I have RAMFlash start every time with c:\ on the left in = detail > view and a:\ on the right in detail view (like in Filer)?

Mine is set up with the palmtop screen very much like AppMgr. If you prefer a text-style launcher, you can set that in the %w parameters The backup/restore icons work with a small server program (XFS) for the desktop or laptop that allows XF to access drives on the big machine. They're set to do complete or partial backups to your other computer. The entries in the palmtop screen can be added, deleted, renamed, given long-name aliases, and reordered. You can customise until you're happy (or make yourself crazy ). This is getting pretty long, so I'd better quit for now. Keep the XF questions coming.

There's a "gotcha" if the app uses support files, and expects them in the same directory. For these you'll need launch with either a batch file that changes to the directory, or by using multiple XF commands (separated by a semicolon) to do the same thing. Sorry for any confusion...

Larry, POST/LX will automatically explode the HPLX-L digest as it is downloaded if you put ExplodeDigest=3D1 in your incoming email box section. The HPLX-L disgest header has lines like: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/digest; boundary=3D"cBYZXGKHWEOXBAMPVGMHMEGUa" ExplodeDigest=3D1 only works for well-defined digests like these.

Every partion on every computer I have has been either created or modified by Partition Magic. I also use Speedisk and NDD and I used to use the Windows defrag tool and there's never been a problem. I have speedisk run automatically overnight on my desktop. It does a partition each night for 4 nights. No conflicts whatever. I use NDD instead of Scandisk following crashes and no problems. Scandisk works fine too. I've yet to have my first problem with Partition Magic. By the way, I do reformat and recreate everything about once a year. I always do that initially with fdisk just because I've been doing it that way for so many years and at that point I don't have Partition Magic installed yet. After everything is installed and I see how much free space I have on each partition I fine tune with PM. That's after doing a fairly complex (but Windows only) partitioning with Fdisk.

It didn't actually say RS232 but I suspect that was what it meant. It was also pretty slow. I remember the number 1500 bps (probably 10 bits per packet making 150 bytes per second). I think that was the speed of the Apple disk that the C64 disk was being compared with. I'm not sure. It might have been the C64's speed. I do remember the C64 disk was much slower than the also very slow Apple. Also, the drive is an intelligent drive. It has the logic to format and get directory listings and return files by name. So writing a 200lx driver probably wouldn't be too difficult if I understand this correctly. The main thing would be getting the list of commands for the drive. I think I also read that lower level access ins't possible. I'm trying to remember an article that I read not too carefully so I don't promise I have it all right. But I'm in the ballpark.

Hey folks: The family I am staying with recently had this happen: the hard drive on one of my friends' family's computers accumulated massive errors and is probably worthless. That leaves them with a dead computer. So: Since I have this case from a Pentium, with a CD-ROM, floppy, etc, is there a chance of turning it into a docking station for my LX? I was thinking about removing the power supply and the floppy and putting them in a smaller case and using that, having a data connection from the floppy to the LX, naturally... Would that work?

The MIDI transmission speed for PC compatibles I believe is 38.4 kbps, but I seem to recall discussion on the list saying the COM1 UART speed is limited, which is why no modem faster than 14.4k can be used on COM1. It also seems to me that I transfer files to & from my desktop computer at 57600 through COM1, however. Sorry if I'm out to lunch.

Two different animals. There is no speed issue with the card slot (COM2) that I know of, only power. There is no power issue with COM1 (the serial port) that I know of, only speed.
