Today in the morning I experienced a complete failure of the Palmtop's storage. This included the 64MB C: drive, as well = as my 512MB PCMCIA. The built-in storage (in this case 1.3 MB, seems to be ok, but I am not I trust it. This means literally everything is gone. I have backups at home in LA (I am on a trip in Minnesota now), and a few items = with me, but not much. This is really devastating. I'll have to rebuild nearly the entire palmtop file base from scratch, literally. There are two surprises here: I did not expect the C: drive to fail. That is really a novelty to me. I have seen this hap= pen but EXTREMELY rarely. The second nasty is the PCMCIA failure. This has never happened bafore. I rely on the PCMCIA as= my backup device for the C: drive, for example! My backup procedure backs up critical files from the C drive to the A dr= ive in several generations. After a 7 generations are accumulated, the last one is kept, and the prev. 6 are deleted. So = within the week I have daily back ups. and thereafter only weekly ones. Once a month I copy the entire content of the A: = drive to the desktop, and to a CD ROM. CD ROM is kept in a storage away from home. But the point is that I rely on the PC= MCIA and this is the first time it has failed that I recall. (I did have a C: drive failure about a year ago.) Wow! This is not fun and sets me back a lot. Email loss hurts badly. I have no idea what happened, and if the co-incidenc= e is related or just random.

This item works fine, but only after I got the latest driver from the Memorex website (address listed in the documentation). The software assigns this unit a drive letter that one can see in My Computer on the desktop (I'm running Win98). Inserting a CF or PCMIA card results in an audible notification beep and thereafter, one can do normal file operations using the drive letter that's been assigned (this unit is drive D: on my system). I have used this drive successfully with a SanDisk 220mb ATA PCMIA card (recently discussed on this list and also available via eBay), a Pretec 32mb ATA PCMIA card, and a Kodak 16mb CF card.

It would not optimize. I had previously ran Norton Speed Disk 4.5. Well, anyway, I backed up all, formatted the CF in my HP618 camera, initialized C:, reloaded all and optimize worked. I tried the same scenario on a 16MB CF. I've forgotten (old age?) what happened. With the above results, you might try a reformat from the LX itself and a reinitialization of C: after backing up your files. Maybe some disk finagling programs change something in the boot record to foul up optimize. Bob Mark Wallace-Jones wrote: > > I was hoping someone on the list might be able to help me.

The key "bubble" (in the foil which causes the click when pressing the key) is damaged, due to heat or too much usage). Fixable only with a new keyboard foil. 2. There is so much dirt under the key that the key bubble is pressed down, even when the plastic key kap is not pressed. Try to lift the plastic key kap a little and blow away all dirt under it with a bottle of compressed air. It may help to lift the keyboard cover (the dark green plastic which hold all these labels under and above the keys) beginning at the lower right korner with a knife. It is only glued onto the keyboard.

The thought crossed my mind of course and I downloaded NODELAY to the PC I used to restore some of the drive. The reason = I did NOT do the experiment is that I had not heard from you by then and was concerned. Specifically my concern was was i= f the "worst case scenario" includes some sort of permanent damage to the PCMCIA which would disable it or portions of it= permanently. Reversible damage which can be undone with FDISK is acceptable (I have a backup of the entire drive, and I = tried it - it is a good backup which will restore fine!) but am irreversible damage I cannot afford to do to this particu= lar 512MB card. So I decided to hold back my scientific spirit ... I an a recent post I asked the same questions again, and I am sure you will see that post in due time.

Avi, Well I see you are by now restoring things, so it is probably too late to look at the disks with a low-level disk editor. But the last time I saw a simultaneous loss of two disk drives was because of a virus. Every ninth sector was erased on both drives. PC/XT type of machine too, so it could act on our 200LX (though it could never infect the boot sector of course). It got a bunch of diskettes as well. I have seen Windows corrupt the partition infor- mation and root directories on a number of occasions. Norton Utilities Unformat recovered most of the data on some of those instances. Again, not worth trying if you have begun restoring files. But if someone else "loses" a drive, it might be worth trying before anything else is done.

Borland used to offer a copy license for it's legacy compilers for $50. I don't know if that applied to their other products but I think I remember hearing that it applied to early versions of their Quatro spreadsheet. This license was available through the middle 90s and, I think, the later 90s. I've never heard that they've withdrawn the offer but if they have I might have missed it. But now a lot of those products are freeware so they might have dropped it. I don't know. Anyway it shouldn't be hard to find out from Borland if they still have such a license. Or of TL has become freeware. I think I remember reading that Quatro and Sidekick are now freeware, but I'm not sure. Anyway a phone call to Borland should find out.

Oh yes, it does. :-) I have just updated my home page a few days ago with exactly this information you need. See http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/mob_hplx and especially read the general notes about Siemens phones in the big phone list under "Siemens". If you really don't plan to connect to the Internet using IR, a Siemens phone is good for you, since SMS and other GSM-connectionless things don't disturb the IR circuit of the LX. For IrDA you need indeed a special "driver". This driver is called WWW/LX and costs quite a bunch of money ;-) There is also the free IR.EXE, but with that you cannot up/download SMS, as far as I know. At least not in a simple way. With WWW/LX ans Post/LX and Stefan's PDU you have an integrated solution which works very well and reliably for SMS (and email, of course). But no more details here, everything is described on my homepage. > > Oh, just in case the question asked, "why not use a cable" the answer is "I do > not have one!" You could get one if you want. I have coincidentally just one custom HPLX - Siemens cable for sale. The cable is described on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/s25_hplx The cable fits for all 25 and 35 phones (C, S and M) and I believe it also fits the S45 and ME45. On the other side it has the custom HPLX connector. 60 Euro + shipping and it is yours. But this is of course only useful for you if you either want to establish Internet connections with your Siemens phone or use the phone's fax capabilities, which you can't use over IR either, because we don't have any IrDA-capable fax software. So, let me know if you want the cable. Otherwise I offer it to someone else.

Yes, I did it. It is possible only with the (some?) 2MB 100LXs. You must open the machine in order to see if it is possible at all. If there is a socket or room for a socket for a memory expansion board, it is theoretically possible to apply at least all 200LX upgrades until 8MB, since the processor (i.e. the Hornet chip) is the same in 100LX and 200LX, AFAIK. But there is a problem: I don't remember vell who I tried it, I think I removed a 1MB board and wanted to put a 2MB board onto that socket, so it would result in 3MB (1MB onboard). The 100LX could access all three MBs, and it worked without problems, however, the 2MB mosule didn't fit mechanically inside the case of the 100LX, because of a capacitor which prevented the 2MB module to lay down close onto the board. With some soldering it could be possbile to use a smaller capacitor or maybe move it to another loaction using wires. But if that's worth the effort - I don't know... However, I haven't tried to upgrade to anything more than 3MB. So I don't know if this would work. But theoretically it should, just as it does with 2MB 200LX machines. Mack? Do you listen? Can you confirm that?

I think he runs a terminal emulation to log into a linux computer. So it looks as he runs linux. I also think we should try to encourage all these Japanese geniuses to at least translating their pages to English to make them available to everyone.

Carr. It basically was another killer-app that met its match. I run FW4 on my 200LX (had used this app on my desktops/notebooks since FW2). FW runs like Windows (it called them "frames" before there were "windows") and organizes data elements in nested frames, with one view of a collection of data looking very much like an outline. It includes its own programming language, called "FRED". After Ashton-Tate was acquired by Borland, the rights to FW got muddied and apparently, the (supposed) current owner has taken the code to add improvements. FW has always worked on the 200LX, since it's a DOS application, with the only quirk being that the numeric grey +/- keys on a desktop, which are essential to navigating in FW, aren't evident on the LX. The current FW owner got the notion of modifying FW to run on the 200LX and remapped two keys to support the grey +/-. He was surprised when I told him it was that F11/F12 would do the same thing as grey +/- ... and that F11/F12 were supported already on the LX using Fn-1/Fn-2. FW also had a nice dictionary/thesaurus built-in. If I had a 1000CX (the bare-bones machine) ... no doubt that it'd be FW that I'd run on it. Like the pundits used to say ... its apps were so-so, but its integration using the outliner concept made it greater than the sum of its parts. I was tempted to try FW5, but the asking price was too high for the limited improvements. It's a good program that does a lot of things, but most LXers could do about the same using the basic PIMs. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2001 16:20:22 -0500 Reply-To: MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Oh No!

Networking in DOSEMU is said to be possible, so I will also set up WWW/LX and so on. But first: Post and PE. I have two problems at the moment, which also appear if I run palrun 2 under Windows 98. 1. When NOT using the -w option, I have sometimes a dark screen. For example: a. when in PE, doing a search (F4) then pressing F5 (replace) will result in the replace dialog with a black screen in the background. When I then finish the replace dialog, it disappears, but the screen is not restored but remains black. b. when in Post, replying to a message, entering PE, exiting PE, pressing ESC (I'm still testing around, so no changes shall be applied) gives the dialog "abandon / cancel". When choosing "abandon" I get a dark screen (but Post works, when I then hit Alt-Q, I get back to the DOS prompt). When using the -w option, this is not the case. However you write this has other disadvantages. Is this a normal behaviour, or is this somethin you could fix in Palrun 2.1? ;-) I MUST use the -w option at the moment, without it I cannot work efficiently. 2. In Post/LX: If I use the -p option, Scrolling is not so terribly slow as without -p. But: When I have a message list and scroll through the messages down, Post/LX begins to scroll if the cursor has reached the third message from bottom, as we know. But in Palrun, not the whole list scrolls, but only the last two rows scroll (i.e. UNDER the cursor). Thus the corsor never reaches one of these messages below the one Post begins to scroll. Can you second that? Could that be fixed? I really would like to have a setup where I can simply put my flash card into the Omnibook running Linux, start dosemu with Post/LX in it and use it to send/receive email and to write and read email! That would be soooo cool! ;-) BTW: MM/LX now seems to work flawlessly under Palrun 2. I couldn't hardcore-test it by now, because I have a temporary test-setup without correct config files and paths set, so I can only do all these tests with the basic functions the programs provide. Ah, and one _minor_ bug in palrun 2: When an error message is displayed (e.g. "PAL application file not found", there is no carriage return after the string, so the C: prompt appears directly behind the last character of the error message. At least under DOSEMU, I haven't tested that under Windows.

When NOT using the -w option, I have sometimes a dark screen. The dark screen is caused by a bug in the PAL library. Andreas fixed it and new relreases of his programs will no longer show this behaviour. The bug only happens on desktops, because PAL is platform aware. It acts different on palmtops and desktops. Until new releases are available, the -w switch of PALRUN is a workaroung. It disables all screen mode changes. This is also important if you want to run PAL applications in a DOS window without the annoying fullscreen/window forth and back switching. > 2. In Post/LX: If I use the -p option... the -p shall only be used with PE, as the doc and helpscreen says. In simulates fast scroll by disabling scroll at all. The background is, that PE needs no scroll on the desktop. Again, Andreas is aware of this and will probably make scroll a PE.CFG configurable entry. But POST needs to scroll on the desktop. If you switched it off, it cannot scroll. Similar applies to the -m switch, which detects Alt-m as menu key. You must not use -m with D&A products, because it will disable Alt-m, and you have no way to enter the menu. The background here is, that PALRUN exchanges Alt-m through the menu keycode. But Andreas checks for the menu key AND the Alt key, and Alt-Menu is an invalid keycombination for him. That means: You have to use different PALRUN switches depending on the PAL application you want to run. There is no general setup possible, working in all situations, unless all PAL applications behave the same way, which will possibly happen in the future, but only for still supported programs. HV for example is discontinued and will never take advantage of a newer PAL library. > Ah, and one _minor_ bug in palrun 2: When an error message is displayed > (e.g. "PAL application file not found", there is no carriage return > after the string, so the C: prompt appears directly behind the last > character of the error message.

It is only cosmetic and I found it more important to save some bytes than having a nice appearance in a false configured surrounding. The new bigger screens supported by PALRUN-2 will also only be of advantage, if the application uses them. I know of none than the DEMO in the archive, which I wrote to show the new features of PALRUN. Indeed all features except for the bigger screens are not new to the palmtop, where they have been available (but unused) from the very beginning. Here is a list of the new features: Dec. 03/01: V.2.0 Release by Stefan Peichl: Better memory management saves precious 60KB! PALRUN now only uses 21KB of memory (was 81KB). New MINIPAL uses only 5KB of memory. MINIPAL as TSR takes 3KB of memory only. Support of 640x350 EGA and 800x600 SGA. HP95 Video mode is mapped to CGA. Support of tiny 6x8 font. Support of vertical output. Default screen mode changed to reverse VGA. HFN font size is reduced between 25% and 50%. Optional TSR functionality added. Optional detection of Alt-M as Menu key. Optional Windows awareness. Optional "fast scroll" for PE (i.e. no scroll) Reverse Video is now the default. Command line switches more intuitive now. ASCII character 127 is the EURO sign . 80186 opcodes used for speed reasons. Conditional assembly requires TASM. Bug fixes: - Rep Rule byte bug fixed. - Put & Get image bug fixed. - Plot Line rule bug fixed. - PE Cursor shape bug fixed. - Clip region support added.

It is a collection of files from the HP-200LX which I've developed over the years; they are mostly but not entirely 1-2-3 spreadsheets for various numeric calculations. Here is what's included: 123NOTES.GDB: An HP dBase file with extensive notes about v2.04 of Lotus 1-2-3 and its macro languge. *thanks again Avi & Dave* EATS.GDB: A physicist's profession requires a lot of travel. No point in going hungry, too :) EMvec.pcx: A single page covered with various electromagnetic laws and vector calculus theorums. Can be viewed with LXpic or a similar viewer. AUTO123.WK1: This worksheet, by virtue of its name, is automatically loaded when 1-2-3 is started, if the Worksheet Global Default Autoexec flag is on. I use it in place of HPCalc; it does basic arithmatic with propagation of uncertainties, sums in quadrature, degree/radian convertions. COMPLEX.WK1: This worksheet does complex arithmetic, including both rectangular and polar forms, exponentials and logarithms. FIT.WK1: Fits up to 50 (X,Y) data points, with uncertainties dY in Y, to an arbitrary function of up to 6 variables, with complete covariance matrix. The algorithm does require that the initial guess be fairly good though! FUNCS.WK1: That most useful of all special functions, the gamma function. Also, a note about how to evaluate Bessel functions of the 1st kind (the J functions) using INTEG.WK1. INTEG.WK1: Numeric integration in 1d, with simple 256 point trapezoidal rule, and plotting to make sure you haven't shot yourself in the foot. VECTOR.WK1: Basic vector arithmetic in 3 dimensions, plain 'ol Euclidian metric. It's freeware - email me for a zip file.

I have successfully updated my WWWLX mail setup for point to @shaw.ca instead of @home.com. I am trying to update my WWWLX setup to pick up Shaw's News server.

Gary - normally ROBONEWS/LX is started thus: ROBOT.EXE NNTP Instead, if you use ROBOT.EXE -w NNTP and there is an on-line error ROBOT.EXE will pause and wait for you to press a key befor continuing. I wrote the scripts, and I wonder what the error is. Normally I would reset the HMN to "-25" or so, so on your first run you get the last 25 messages. I am not sure what effect resetting to zero will have - should no give an erro though. Also it's probably best to use the server name rather than the IP numbers - only because it's less error prone to type, and likely to not need changing as often as the numbers. ciao, Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 02:56:55 -0800 Reply-To: sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Avi Meshar Subject: Drives failure Comments: To: Steve MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Steve wrote: > Well I see you are by now restoring things, so > it is probably too late to look at the disks with > a low-level disk editor. But the last time I saw I did not have one here on any of the PCMCIAs, and did not have access to one readily which I knew how to use "fluently".

I thought of various ways to try to walk into the drive and see what is there. Norton utilities, which I had, said that it can recover the drive, all 64MB, but it turned out to be all junk, could not even see literal strings in it. > I have seen Windows corrupt the partition infor- > mation and root directories on a number of occasions. > Norton Utilities Unformat recovered most of the data > on some of those instances.

Thereafter what I _could_ lay hands on was not familiar, and meant I could potentially make the drive unusable, which was not a risk I was prepared to take, and so after about half a day of various trials and investigation, I cut my losses. The interesting point is that I do NOT believe it was a virus, unless it was at once very sophisticated and very simple! The failure here was of two different types of media: A: drive PCMCIA (ATA), and a drive implemented in memory board using RDT2T as the driver. So it seems not that reasonable to assume that the same "agent" caused both failures, unless it is environmental - say a power surge. > But if someone > else "loses" a drive, it might be worth trying before > anything else is done. Agree, Your assumption that I did not is not sorrect. I wanted to see if I can come to some conclusion about what happen, learn something, so it does not happen again, that's why I spent half a day, at various strategies. I did not initialize anything for quite some time, and kept working with the dead machine and so on. I pressed into service my back palmtop and rebuilt there what I could on its C: drive so it could help me with the investigation. It was very frustrating to follow several routes and come up empty each time.

Most of the modems DO NOT require drivers. Waaaay back in the past they did, but generalized on the Hayes commands and relatively standard chipsets. There was a class of modems called Winmodems. They required drivers, but mostly because they were "dumb hardware", and the real work was done by the CPU and Windows O/S. But I think what you have is not of this class of modems. > One last question, what text-based ISPs work the best? I currently use = an > ISP that is local to Albuquerque, but I am looking for something cheap = (or > better yet, free) for when I travel (just in USA). Any suggestions? ISPs are not text-based or otherwise-based. The terms simply have nothing to do with each other. It may be that the ISP told you they support Windows only, but that is literally that: They know nothing about any other ways to connect except a Windows based program, which sometimes they supply, sometimes not. ISPs like this generally will give you sufficinet information to connect with whatever program you want. (FYI, there is NOTHING in the connection software that tells the ISP's server that _you_ use Windows, Mac, a mainframe, SUn workstation, or any of maybe more than 200 different varieties of Operating systems and machines. So the question is rather moot, kinda like "Do you go to school or carry your own sandwiches?" ... Free ISPs are NEVER free. One exception is maybe the college you went to. but your Alma mater may not provide you with a connection either. Check out AT&T 7 plus 7 program. The "free" ISPs derive their income from advertising. This means they will be aggressive about shoving commercial in your face, interfering with your usage. With ad money dwindling, they may disappear overnight, leaving you with email that cannot reach you. The most important thing is to find a company that can connecct you to the Net. Bigger companies usually have better staying power. Once you are connected to the Internet, you can even check out Yahoo's mailboxes at http://mail.yahoo.com - they are free, and I have shown before how you can use these accounts on the Palmtop, not just on the Web. Using Yahoo on the Web pays their way, as they put ever more aggressive ads in front of you. When you travel, AT&T has many local numbers. If you use as the mailbox provider something like Yahoo, subdimension, whatever, you can then check your email from ANY internet-connected terminal (but be aware that your confidential email WILL be on the machines connecting those terminals!) So there is a convenience vs. privacy choices to make. Compuserve is a good service that costs $9.95 per month for 5 hours connect time (Compuserve Classic). This means you pay for the time after you dialled up using their numbers/network. Generally, it is sufficient for light users - you dial in, grab your email, upload whatever you prepared offline to send out, and get out. Consider that too. AOL, the big name, is NOT a standard ISP in terms of Internet standards. They use their own lohgin protocol (i.e. you must use their own program to dial up). They also do not use a standard email server, which means again, you must use their programs. These do not run on the Palmtop. Hope this helps.

Palrun is a program to enable PAL programs to run on a desktop. PAL programs are primarily written to run on the palmtop, though. So, I would expect that the PAL programs are compiled for use on a 80186 processor. Therefore, even if there was a Palrun targetted for a 8086 processor, how many PAL applications would run with it on a 8086 processor? And how would the person wanting to use the PAL program on the 8086 processor know whether it would even run on an 8086? This is not the sort of information I have ever seen in any PAL program's documentation. I would think it is assumed to run on a palmtop (80186) or better computer.

I can ping and telnet and FTP around the LAN and the internet with no problems, but I cannot make it work in Windows networks (Netbeui). what I have collected: lxmnp10b.zip from Rod Whitby's collection and I have gone on to look at the other resources he lists there. I have the ether3.zip from SUPER. what I have noticed: The process used to 'turn on' the card and the packet driver for TCP/IP are different between Rod's batch files and the ether3 package. Oh well. Both seem to work as in I get 'net view' to show most of the computers on the LAN from the HP200LX (the server does not show up, but it probably has something to do with the fact that it is running SAMBA under Linux, but that is not important right now). All of the rest of the computers on the LAN are running Win2000. I probably will not be able to log into the win2000 computers (encryption and a different logon process than what the old WfWg software that we are running here on the LX), but I should be able to access the share (C:\) on the HP200LX. I cannot.

I have logged in to my cell network provider E-Plus using the phone, so that if I use the down-key on the left side of the phone to view the phone status, I see: "GPRS: @WAP over GPRS". I can receive WAP data with the phone. 1a Answer question "connection still active - hold connection?" with "yes" 2. Switch the IrDA interface on. 3. let WWW/LX connect using the patched WWW version and Martin's config.

I got a new card and tried to put two partitions on it to see how the 200LX reacts. FDISK100 seems to set things up more like a big floppy than a hard drive.

About the only scheme that worked for me was two primary partitions. Whichever one was set active was seen by the LX as the A: drive. Setting both active did not give an A: and B: drive.

This is a joke, though not a particularly funny one. If in doubt: "The graphic files are stored on magnetic tape accessed via a modified Radio Shack personal cassette player... The storage media consists of a single TDK type I cassette tape... We estimate that roughtly 4 gigabytes of data can be stored before we have to turn over the cassette..." If humanity had the technology to store and retrieve 8GB of data on a plain ferrous oxide cassette tape -- even WITHOUT the stated limitations of using audio modulation fed through the headphone jack of a standard low-quality audio cassette recorder -- , I have little doubt our palmtop flash cards would store a petabyte or two.

The authentication protocol has changed and that 'broke' the older WfWG software, apparently. To mount shares from Win2k or XP machine on the LX, you have to change the registry to accept unencrypted passwords. Still, the HPLX will only 'show up' on the Win2k/XP machine and you will not be able to mount any of the HP's shares on the windows machine. I have still not figured out how to do this. I would assume that you could load the drivers on boot and then be able to print over the network, but that is not important to me. Any further information appreciated. The link for the information is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q147706 the correct level is '2', Level '0' did not work. With level 2, I was able to mount shares on the LX. I do not find this terribly useful. I would prefer to mount the LX on the Windows machine for backup purposes and file sharing. If anyone has figured this out, please let me know. I find it pretty odd that the 'WfWG' software and drivers we are using will not allow 'shares' to 'appear' in net view (network neighborhood). The machine will appear, but no shares. The reason that I find this odd is that win95/98 shares would appear and be able to be manipulated from the win2k machine, but the win95/98 could not connect to any shares of the win2k machine. The reason is that the protocol on the win95/98 machines would not send the appropriate logon (user/pass) when it tried to mount a share. Further information would be appreciated. What I did finally decide on was to use lxtelnet as an ftp server and use a graphical ftp client on the win2k machine to facilitate file transfers. It is a boat load faster than transfile200 over the serial cable! My router here at home runs a DHCP server and it serves the bootp client (hp200lx) just fine. At work, I had to add the bootp configuration information to the DHCP server setup, but it also works fine as well. If I find I am using it a lot again, I will probably have to spring for www/lx as that seems to be the www client of choice. It is a shame that no one has ported the stripped down dos based lynx for the LX.

My LX installation is about 4.5mb, but includes the entire drivers disk (every time you fiddle with the FW settings (sound, display, memory, etc) you have to insert the drivers disk ... so I just added it as a directory that I SUBST when I need it). Losing the drivers directory will still leave you with a 4mb installation. FW will have to be installed on a desktop, and then the directories are transferred to the LX. Configure the display settings on the desktop to mono graphics, so it'll be viewable on the LX while you tweak it there some more. I have mine set to these settings on my LX (6mb/2x, with 1mb EMS): ÝHardware¨ - Screen driver = "monochrome/graphics" ÝUse of memory¨ - Extended memory = On - Extended memory driver = LIM 4.0 - Extended memory maximum size = 512 - Extended memory/roll-out drive = C - Memory roll-out before DOS access = On I don't use the LAN/Mail options. I think FW preceded a lot of the normal conventions used in email ... I could be wrong. As I mentioned, it's a great program, but my use of FW on the LX has been minimal due to the good built-in apps. The settings for EMS are fairly minimal ... ie, if I worked with a lot of open FW documents, I'd probably need a bigger EMS allocation. FW has a splash screen that waits for you to press Enter, and the keypress can be automatically skipped by invoking FW with the "/t" option (not documented ... at least not in FW1-3). Because it needs lots of RAM, I start FW with Maxdos. You'll notice that there's a lot of reference to navigating "in" and "out" of frames using the keyboard, specifically with the "In" key (grey numeric +) and "Out" key (grey numeric -). On the LX you substitute using Fn-2 and Fn-1, respectively. Let me know (off list) if you need any more info.

Starting charging at such a low voltage is running right on the edge of when the batteries will be too low to power the palmtop. This will not leave much time to get to an AC adapter. And there is the risk of data loss if the palmtop shuts off because of low batteries. I think that is not smart. Besides, the 2.32 volts you suggest as the point at which to start charging is quite a bit higher that what would be considered fully discharged for the NiCd or NiMH batteries. I believe that .9 volts per cell is considered to be discharged, that would make the pair voltage at 1.8 volts to indicate fully discarged batteries. And besides again, there are many people that do not believe that so called "memory" effect of NiCd batteries is because of lack of full discharges, but rather because of over charging. Most NiCd battery chargers work on a simple timed cycle. The charge time is set to the amount of time it would take to fill empty batteries, so if partially discharged batteries are put through this cycle, they will be over charged. With ABC on the palmtop, overcharging is will not happen because the charge cycle is controlled by watching the battery voltage characteristics rather than just time. Also, the palmtop's 100 ma charge rate is not enough to cause damage even if the batteries were charged too long. The bottom line for me is that my palmtop's data and convenience for me is much more important than a pair of $10 batteries. I don't want to have to be bothered worrying about cutting down the life of my batteries from 5 years to 3 because I replace them every two years anyway. And I don't need to worry about watching voltage, etc to know when to manually charge the batteries - that is what ABC is for.

Have you sent an SMS using GPRS? Apparently this is possible. Here I think this type of usage of GPRS has a special pricing plan - where data is charged byte by byte. For internet use I have a plan that charges in units of 10K - my plan allows 25MB a month for under the equivalent of 25 USD per month. They just dropped the charges here by at least a factor of *ten* for me. However - GPRS coverage is not as complete as regular GSM. It is fine in "the city" but not at home - although this may be phone dependant. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 18:19:24 -0500 Reply-To: Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: HPLX and Nokia 3360 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Fri, 7 Dec 2001 15:40:42 -0700, Bob Penick wrote: > I hadn't paid much attention to connecting my 200LX to my cell phone before > now. but I just received a new phone (Nokia 3360) that has an infrared port. Okey.. We have had the 3310 and the 3330 here in Europe for a while. The 3330 has a built in wap browser, which means ofcourse it has a internal "modem". But the 3330 does not have IRda. I see in the manual for the 3360 that it has irda. > It says it's IRDA so WWW/LX might work? It should work as the other irda phones on the market. > The book says it can also exchange > "business cards" with Palms and CE devices. Yes you can beam a Vcard from your Hplx phonebook to your Nokia 3360. Check out http://daniel.hplx.net I wrote a little "How to" there on how to do this with a Irda phone which supports Vcard/Buisnisscards. > Anybody know about this phone > and its ability (or lack thereof) to connect to our palmtops? Should work. You probably have to enable "data" on your subscription though. From the manual page 102: "You can make a serial connection between your Nokia phone and your Infrared-equipped laptop or IR-equipped desktop PC. Once you establish this connection, you can access your phone's information from your PC, or use your phone as a wireless modem" To get irda to work for mail you need WWW/LX. You should also check out http:///www.logomanager.co.uk and see if it supports the 3360.

There is a special ATDT command for GPRS calls, where the different parameters are explained (well, not very understandable). So the "1" in ATDT*99***1# is the "pdp context", and a colleague of mine, who introduced the GPRS network equipment at Swisscom (biggest mobile operator in Switzerland), told me, that this parameter refers to the context identifier (CID) of the data account defined in the phone.

No. I think the Ericsson phones R520m, T39m and T68 are currently world leaders from point of view of functionality.

When you hit F5 it tries and fails. System shows: Zou probably have Port=-1 in your www.cfg.

Link distance 1 cm to 1m at +/- 15 degree Actually this should work for IrDA 1.0, but I would try Port=1 IR=1 This (AFAIK) makes WWW/LX speak the normal SIR protocol over the IR port and leaves alone all the IrDA stuff. It is like connecting both devices with a cable, only physically you use the IR interface. Please report if this has some effect.

I don't think that taking out the backup battery makes any difference in the behaviour of 8 bit characters. ;-) Well, seriously: Actually the only thing I can recommend _is_ to take out all batteries for a while, pressing the ON key to discharge internal capacitors and let it lie around for one day. I assume you don't want to try with an always connected AC adapter? That could clarify if the failure might be a loose battery contact. This is unfortunately the kind of failure which is extremely hard to locate and to solve.

I have found a "quick-and-dirty" solution: voltchck gives errorlevel 0 if AC connected OR voltage above given level, 1 if voltage under given level. So I check first for a level which can never be reached: voltchck 4.00 so I get only errorlevel 0 if AC is connected, because the batteries cannot have 4 Volts. Then I do everything which requires AC. Then I do voltchck 2.40 and let that decide if I do the battery sensitive things.

( I tried them on a dos box under W98se and CP222 worked great, but Morse couldn't figure out the speed of my CPU running W98se - 200 MHz Pentium - so it gave up. ) I checked the alarms on the 200LX, and sure enough sound came out, so the speaker is working. Is there something I need to do to enable the sound when using DOS? Thanks -Mike On Fri, 7 Dec 2001, Robert K. Meyer wrote: > Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 23:01:41 -0700 > From: Robert K.

The built-in datacomm. You can use any terminal emulation for that. Just set it to use COM1 and configure COM1 with serctl /i (so it uses the IR interface).

It is slow, has too little RAM, a too little screen, only balck and white, no multitasking OS.... Well, I really have to get rid of these obsolete devices. I recently bought a Jornada 720 and this machine is really the best I have ever seen: Backlight, which finally makes the battery die sooner heavier and bigger, so you finally have the impression to have a real "working horse" in your hands Windows: finally everything becomes possible which is already possible on the desktop: Fancy error messages, much fun with frequent rebooting, Multimedia: I can now play MP3s on the road! Very important if I am on the way to work (which is abt. 5 min per pedes) or to univiersity. The best: The batteries are empty if I arrive, so I cannot play with the palmtop there which steals time anyway. And last but not least: Everytime I talk to someone by telephone, I have to scribble some drawings onto paper. now it's possible to scribble into the palmtop with the stylus and to save my artworks! One of them has been made available to all of you by Steafn Peichl. It is called "carpet.com" and I think you can download it on Stefan's homepage. ;-) The real reason is: I have just bought a used 32MB DS palmtop (my first one with such a big upgrade! :-) ) and I have several backup machines. I could simply not afford buying such an expensive device without giving away another one to get a little bit of money for that one. Just for the balance in my finances. I still have 2 200LXs DS 5/6MB and 1 100LX SS 1MB as spare units.

Does someone have a clue what exactly this means, and if something could be done about it? My mail program on the 200LX is Goin'POstal, and I can collect (or send) most messages without trouble as long as as they do not exceed 2 or 3KB. If they are bigger, it often fails, with a network time-out message. The progress of downloading (or sending) a message typically goes from 0%, to any value, stands still at say 30%, flashes through till 80%, seems to stop and times out. (Or times out at 20%, or whatever) I don't think it has anything to do with the GSM network, as the same thing seems to happen, day or night, and collecting messages may fail from the first POP server, and proceed OK with the second, all within the same call. My init string is AT&F, and I tried an alternative, without success. My setup is typically a DS200lx, with Goin'POstal, an Ericsson DC23 modem and a GH388.; but I have tried POST/Lx with a SAgem phone with built-in modem, and a cable(no IR). I have never experienced this problem with a land line. I have also tried different ISP's, with identical results. Irritating and expensive, when I try to send pics home! Anyone can give me a hint?

If all you want is to disable this very function from DOS, one could do it in a 500 bytes TSR, but I see, your IC.COM is much more powerful. Good news to see there is a solution for this problem, but as you say, one should be *VERY* careful in using it.

It's not quite as simple. Your mail program uses charset ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) for character encoding, so you cannot compare to the IBM Extended ASCII character set (which I believe the LX uses) directly and expect correct results :-) If we use the binary values in the Latin 1 set for ae oe and ue, we get the following: Char Hex Binary ae E4 11100100 d 64 01100100 oe F6 11110110 v 76 01110110 ue FC 11111100 | 7C 01111100 Now it's quite clear that it's stripping the most significant bit. bye, Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 07:19:35 +0100 Reply-To: "Helmuth E.

Has to give it the 3 finger = salute. you have to load NODELAY before you start SysMgr. You cannot start it from a SysMgr DOS box, like you cannot do with any other TSR. Upon returning from a DOS box, SysMgr reinstalls its own vector table, thereby overwriting (partially?) what a previous TSR did.

Since the infrared will only work if the two LXs are within about eight inches of each other, any program will work just fine.

Is it a hardware-modified unit (RAM or speed upgrade)? If so, such a part of modified hardware could have get corrupted by mechanical stress. The native HP hardware is actually fairly robust. Now I can only suggest that you send it to Thaddeus or Rundel Datentechnik for a repair. Or buy a used unit on ebay.

I think 100 $ is a fairly good price for a 4MB palmtop, even with a hinge crack. Americans may say it's too expensive, because you get anotherone on ebay.com for less. But if you compare this with German (ebay.de) prices, this is reasonable. You can probably fix the hinge crack by glueing a metal plate onto the crack with epoxy glue.

The least I have seen a 200LX go for was $80, and I feel lucky to have gotten one last month for $113, for a unit with a broken battery compartment cover and a few small scratches, which I thik is why I was able to get it so low.

Mike, I'm replying via the list so other can maybe help. If your alarms work that says the LX hardware is Ok. If the ECHO doesn't work that indicates something is happening in DOS. The ECHO passes the ¬G thru the Bios to make the beep; maybe something is filtering the keyboard? If the morse program also uses Bios then the problem is similar to ECHO.

This failure of the A: PCMCIA drive was total. I am now convinced that the FAT was overwritten to an extent that nothing could be found on the drive. I saw nothing on the drive. Looking into it sector by sector revealed mostly junk, not what I expected - text saved on the drive. I think it is possible to easily step on the FAT and destroy it. But I have not seen many times that the content itself will be scrambled. But there it was. That was surprising to me. > I hope you find the reason in order to preevent future failings! So far, nothing has become apparent. I am even more careful about backups now, and it probably makes the gremlin sit tight and not act out in any malcious way. Probably waiting for me to relax a bit! :-( ... Really, the best I have is some electrical thing which was transient, unusual and forceful enough to do the damage.

Try LXPRO or similar programs to control the speaker volume directly. So you can make sure the speaker volume is switched on before you start the morse program. If this still doesn't solve the problem, the program may be currupted.

Apart from the power requirements, the clik drive does not fit physically into the palmtop. Not because of it's height, but because of it's 5mm region which covers a bigger area than a usual PCMCIA card does. The palmtop has a sledge that ends up in the connector. The clik does not fit into the sledge. I checked it with an opened palmtop and one of those really cheap and nice clik drives. I use the clik for notebook backups.

I recently purchased a 128 MB compact flash for my machine and found about a 10 second delay whenever I invoked Filer. I have an old DOS file manager that some folks may find useful. It was written by a fellow named Kevin McKelvey when he was a PhD student at the University of Florida. He now works for the US Forest Service in Montana. Kevin has given permission for the software to be distributed and posted on the Super site, and I have sent the program to Mitch, so it should be available sometime. Or I can email the program to anyone who wants it. FILES is a small file manager. It can sort files by prefix or suffix, rename, copy and delete files, has block copy and delete functions, can view files on screen, print files, and run .EXE and .COM as child programs. F1 brings up a short help screen, but for the most part the program is self explanatory. The command line "c:\files" brings up the color version, while "c:\files b" brings up a monochrome version which some may prefer on the palmtop. It returns the file list on my 128 MB a: drive in less than one second, compared to 10-11 seconds using Filer.

Normally, if I boot after a power down, RDT2T should ask "initilize drive". Must I say "n" then, and look with a dir and some read access if the data is still okay, or does RDT2T not ask at all if I want to initialize the drive if the data is still okay? > So far, nothing has become apparent.

What do you mean by the electrical thing? Electrostatical discharge? This is actually the only non-mechanical force which i can imagine is possible to destroy data on a PCMCIA card. Even magnetic fields would have to be _extremely_ powerful AND alternating to induce voltages in the card's circuits which are able to damage data.

Works already, but the output is not sorted alphabetically. For a sorted output, I must have a way to sort the intermediate CDF file which is created by GDBIO phone.cdf /X /N (i.e., containing note lines). The format if such a file is: D "name2","number2","address2" D "name1","number1","address1" N note for name1 N note line 2 for name1 N here ends the note for name1 D "name3","number3","address3" And it should look sorted like: D "name1","number1","address1" N note for name1 N note line 2 for name1 N here ends the note for name1 D "name2","number2","address2" D "name3","number3","address3" (alphabetically sorted using the name field, but only using D lines.

No. The palmtop doesn't generate enough heat to damage anything while charging. What does matter is using a AC adapter with a voltage greater than 12 volts. That will short the internal power supply faster than anything.

For this purpose, you actually don't need a full-featured PDMDIA drive for your desktop - a Flash or Compact Flash card reader / writer would be fully sufficient. These are also easier to install (at least under Windows) and to handle. Currrently, most units come with an USB port and cost about 50 US$ I think. Newer Windows versions should come with the necessary drivers or they are supplied on CD or diskette. You simply connect the device to your PC (USB or parallel port), maybe install the driver, and then everytime you stick a card into the slot, it appears as a new drive letter in Windows Explorer and you can use it like a hard disk.

I don't know exactly how to handle this, but I know it can be done. Searchin the list archives for "SRAM Windows" or so and you will probably find the solution.

Not exactly physically the same, but check out the HP Omnibook 800CT. It is a very powerful machine (up to Pentium 166 MMX, up to 80 MB RAM). And small, compared to most current laptops. Of course there are newer HP modles which are as small or even smaller than the 800 and more powerful. But they cost 5-10 times the money a 800CT costs.

AFAIK nobody has reported a problem specifically related to circuit "heat fatigue", due to charging on board. The consensus is that it is a risk. But whether it is greater than the risk of mechanical damage/mental stress while changing batteries, is a moot point. Personally I don't think the circuitry can be too bothered by the temperature cycles - otherwise my units would be dead by now. I opted for the easy life, and possible heat-fatigue. After I felt the heat in my old Libretto I realised that the palmtop barely gets warm in comparison. Assuming the palmtop circuitry is not any more susceptible that the Libretto's I figured the risk must be pretty insignificant. I could be wrong of course. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 09:55:01 +1300 Reply-To: Roger Whitmarsh Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Roger Whitmarsh Subject: Re: Text file record sorting (PDB2PIM) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Daniel wrote: >...And it should look sorted like: >D "name1","number1","address1" >N note for name1 >N note line 2 for name1 >N here ends the note for name1 >D "name2","number2","address2" >D "name3","number3","address3" >(alphabetically sorted using the name field, but only >using D lines.

At the risk of being shot down when someone else posts a better and more obvious method, my initial thoughts would be as follows: Let's say your basic file as shown in your note is file1. Copy it to file2 and sort file2 by the first two fields (D/N and "Name n") using your favourite sort program. File2 should then look like: D "name1","number1","address1" D "name2","number2","address2" D "name3","number3","address3" D "...... etc" N note for name1 N note line 2 for name1 N here ends the note for name1 N note for ...... etc The 'N' records might be in any kind of order within themselves, but it doesn't matter. Next, you write a program (or include this in your existing program) which reads file2, D records only. For each D record it reads, it searches file1 for the same record, then writes that record, plus all following N records until the next D record, to a new file, file3. That's it. I'm sure there's a better way, but that will do it. Getting the match in file1 will be slow since it's not sorted and binary search is therefore not possible, but that's what computers are for.

I have an ACE DoubleFlash+ card which is known to create an enormous power surge at boot time so it is rather critical and I've always started charging at 2.33V. I'm doing this for years with various types of NiMH batteries and I've never had a problem. Of course, the 200LX goes into charge mode as soon as the 2.33V are reached during the power surge after boot. The "normal" voltage after flash card initialization is still well above 2.40V. BTW. Although I'm using ABC/LX I've stopped charging my NiMHs in the Palmtop since I bought an NiCd/NiMH charger from Ansmann. The Ansmann charger gets a fuller charge into the batteries and I don't have to care about cutoff voltages, charge times etc. Once the green LED for a cell (it can charge 4 AA or AAA in parallel) stops blinking, the cell is fully charged. Period. Before anyone asks, the charger was quite expensive; around 65 EUR with four 1650 mAh AA cells included.

I know of _some_ (very few) occasions where the add-on T2T memory did die (mine is an example...) Soooo back up back up backup In most cases where there is a power hiccup, the built-in will evaporate, but in most cases the T2T memory remains intact ************************************ I completely concur! I've never lost anything on my T2T memory because of power problems but I could. And I have lost data on it due to other reasons. (File corruption and user stupidity mostly) Just last month (before I started to use the NiMHs) a GDB I use daily wouldn't open. But with a good backup, I only had to bring it up to date. bob ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 08:11:48 +0800 Reply-To: Adrian Ho Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Adrian Ho Subject: Re: C: drive failure In-Reply-To: <3C160C47.24884.60A150@localhost>; from jmusiele@MNINTER.NET on Tue, Dec 11, 2001 at 01:38:15PM -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Tue, Dec 11, 2001 at 01:38:15PM -0600, John Musielewicz wrote: > What does matter is using a AC adapter with a voltage > greater than 12 volts.

Or (IIRC) using an AC adapter with a voltage less than 12 volts, which would make the internal power supply work harder, thus generating more heat than normal in the process.

If you also want to boot to Windows, your Windows boot partition must be located within the girst 8 GB of the drive. They sometimes come with a CD ROM drive. Check on ebay. But you can attach every SCSI CD-ROM drive, PCMCIA or parallel port CD ROM drive, as long as you have drivers for it.

That gives me an idea: Everytime you remove the AC adapter, there should theoretically be a very short high voltage peak due to "opening the switch" when the two metal parts (AC adapter plug and AC jack of the palmtop) are seperated. (As the spark which can appear if you switch an electrical device off, especially if you actuate the switch very slow) There is an inductivity (coil) in series to the AC jack in every palmtop, which I think is used to eliminate these short peaks. If your coil is damaged, maybe a short-circuit between the beginning and the end of the coil, so that it is overridden, maybe such a peak got into your palmtop and destroyed the memory contents.

If you do not start charging until the battery is nearly at the end of its useful charge means that if you have to interrupt the charge cycle for some reason, you end up with very little reserve. If you start at 2.50V it seems an overkill until the day when suddenly you have to go to a meeting, 5 minutes AFTER you start charging. For me, haveing started charging at 2.50V, a one hour meeting is no problem - I have the reserve! You, having waited to 2.33V before starting the charge cycle, you have about 25 seconds to find a set of batteries, or grab a pencil and some paper and run for the sudden meeting! See the difference?

I use an Apoint PenMouse with my Poqet. It's like a fat pen with a 1/4 inch ball at the tip. It works well on small or irregular surfaces (such as my pants leg). You can get one for $9 or $10 (plus shipping) from California Digital, as part of the old "Barbie PC Fashion Design & Color" software package they sell. The main drawback with the pen mouse is that it is "Barbie pink" in color!

I don't know the exact Ethernet specification, but maybe if you connect to an Ethernet with the next node very close to you, the palmtop doesn't have to provide so much power to make the signals appear at the next node. Or maybe connect to a hub first.

Years ago at work I set up an overnight process that would run bat file at a certain time and the bat file would run qedit, loading a macro that caused it to load and process and save a file. Qedit's macro ability is both simple and powerful. I don't remember if the file got sorted or just what was done to it but we used this for a few months till I found time to write a program to do it.

The Palmtop is a Single Speed, the batteries are Ni-Mh 1100mAh, adaptor is a 1200mA 3-12V. Anyone else noticed this before?

The MS-DOS prompt should be present . Can't exit to DOS that way in Win4x - instead, select Start, then Shut Down, then Restart in MS-DOS Mode. You should exit to a DOS prompt; then continue as described... May not be able to do this in NT - if not, try rebooting, then hitting the F8 key as the machine begins to load, then selecting "Command prompt only" from the menu, if it's offered. If not, you'll have to try installing it from inside an MS-DOS window under NT. In 4.90 ("ME"), you may need a clean DOS boot disk. > Additional Set Up for Windows > > Windows Setup is optional.

You guys > know more about this kind of thing than most. Win 9x comes with "deltree.exe", which does just what the name suggests, and deletes a "tree" of subdirectories and all their files (although deltree will delete single files as well, like regular del). For example: deltree /y c:\windows\spool\printers\ Without /y, it will wait for confirmation before going ahead with the deletion (no good in autoexec.bat). Without the trailing backslash, I think it will delete the printers directory as well. There should be no problems running this from autoexec.bat. The only possible problem I can think of (not a problem in the directory above) is if you try to delete a directory with a long filename (eg "c:\program files\gamez\") from autoexec.bat. This will fail unless you use the short DOS 8.3 filename instead (eg "c:\progra~1\gamez"), since the LFN functions are not available until the GUI has loaded.

Try to hold and wiggle the jack, maybe you can reproduce the malfunction. It could also be a bad soldering inside the palmtop's 12V plug or a broken wire in your AC Adapter.

Sounds like your adaptor is not gettingpower thru to your palmtop consistently The most likely problem is a bad connection between the plug on the adaptor and the socket in the palmtop. To test this go into Setup while plugged in to the adaptor and make sure that the power source indicated is always "adaptor" Then try playing with the cable/plug to see if it switches to battery. This wasy you can see if you have a reliable connection. -- ** David Becher ** davidb@netmedia.net.il davidb@cimatron.co.il ** www.cimatron.co.il ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2001 23:23:20 -0800 Reply-To: Ian Butler Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Butler Subject: Re: Battery charging started / stopped / started / stopped...

That happened to me for a while.

A lot of those who went into programming worked with me on various projects and a lot of those on other projects had to interface their projects with mine. So I got to know them pretty well. They didn't know much but they were sharp people. The company chose carefully. The thing that I found most amazing was they had no slightest ideal how computers worked. They had no training on any aspect of low level programming and none had explored on their own. So they had no way to solve problems and debug other than by getting help from older programmers (aka dinosaurs), which they didn't like to do, or guessing. What happened with the better ones was that they learned the ways of the computer like a zoologist might learn the ways of an animal. As a result they became remarkably good at guessing. Some problems couldn't be solved by even the best guessing so if they didn't ask for help they would abandon their work and do it a different way. But they even did that quickly and efficiently because they were always prepared for that. They got the job done without any real knowlege of how computers work.

First, I want to say that I am a complete idiot when it comes to networking and a= ll that (and also other topics, but that is another thread ...) so hammering terms is not useful. There were a few posts in November and Tomas Moberg posted that he uses it all the time and even posted details of the se= tup (repeated below) but I question what he posted - see questions below. ---- From Tomas' post 29 November 2001 ---- I use this every day. Its easy and nice to use to share Your LAN with Your hp200lx via the serial port. Part of my www.cfg looks like this: .. ÝSetup¨ PPP=3DPPP .. ÝScript¨ PPP=3DPPP .. ÝPPP¨ s=3D\r =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D>>> The above fits a script but what's below does not Port=3D1 OmniGo=3D0 PPP=3D1 Modem=3D0 Baud=3D38400 My_IP=3D DNS_IP=3D DNS2_IP=3D Script=3DPPP Password=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D>>> The above fits the Connection entry - but aren't signficant pieces missing? Such as IP numbers?= Also using the identical name for the SETUP (Connection) name and Script name is confusing... I appreciate this beginning, but perhaps Tomas Moberg, David Becher, or Yves can provide more complete setup information?= (I believe one or more of these gentleman had the communication running with WWW/LX). Second issue: Where exactly do you run the mochaPPP software? Their webpage is EXTREMELY cagey about giving this informat= ion up. When I was done reading it, I assumed that it must run on the comuter to which yo connect. IOW: If I connect to a= Windows machine, then I run mochaPPP on that machine, and connect the Palmtop to the Win machine via a serial cable. Is this true? I assumed that because there is NO version of mochaPPP that runs on the Palmtop. I found nothing that state= d that on the website for mochaPPP. Third: With mochaPPP THERE IS NO NEEd to have a mochaPPP running ALSO on the Palmtop - correct? IOW, just run it on one m= achine, the one that you want to use to connect THROUGH. Fourth: How does the Windows machine see the Palmtop? Can it see its drives? Fifth: Can the Palmtop be operated from its own keyboard, or am I confined to using the Win machine keyboard? Anyway, just my first questions to start you all going. From what I am concluding of this software it may be one of the m= ore interesting items around. But I am not sure, because the material I read so far on the website is almost a riddle. Wh= at I read here assumes a lot about what the reader knows and I am waaaay below that in my own knowledge, so I am not sure= if my conclusions are valid at all. I wonder if I am alone here with less than basic knowledge of networking. If not, ma= ybe the "community brain" here could be swayed to make the topic less mysterious by providing tutorial level information = and answers? If you do not want to be identified as the source of the tutorials, you can send the info to me in private, designating i= t as private, and I'll repost it without the name and so on... and I'll use Al's invention: aTdHvAaNcKeS (cute way to say "Thanks in advance) Avi -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 19:12:09 +0000 Reply-To: Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Re: Nodelay Comments: To: Joseph Buford MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Joseph Buford wrote: > All seems to work well EXCEPT when I run a program that > uses MaxDos.

LX is connected thru serial port - only your TCP/IP stack & clients run on the LX. - The windows machine only sees the LX connection...not sure you could run an FTP server on the LX(MochaSoft WWW site implies you can't) - YES! LX behaves as just as if it was connected to a MODEM or NIC - "aTdHvAaNnKcSe" was stolen by me with the permission of the author, so I can't claim it as my creation ;-) Cheers...AJKind PS: once out about 50 tries, I did some bytes transferred to MPPP, but I never got a connection.

This is how I have it set up: 1. Download MochaPPP (mppp.zip) to your WinXX machine 2. Unzip and run setup. 3. Run Mochasoft PPP on your windows machine 4. Enter Configuration 5. Ensure the Windows CE radio button is selected 6. Under "Serial Port", choose the serial port through which the HP will connect to the WinXX machine (in my case Com1) 7. Under baud rate choose the speed at which the HP will connect (choose something conservative to start with like 38400 baud) 8. That's it for MochaPPP On the HP: 1. Run WWWSetup 2. Select ADD (setup) 3. Select External 4. Uncheck the Modem check box 5. Select the same baud rate as above (if you followed my recomendation that would be 38400) 6. Select the PPP radiio button 7. Leave Modem Init blank 8. Leave Dial blank 9. Leave Login blank 10. Leave Password blank 11. IP should be 0.0.0.0 12. DNS and Alternate DNS should both be 0.0.0.0 13. Dialing Script should be Direct_Script (which I believe comes with WWW/LX preinstalled) 14. Select the newly created Setup and make it the Default 15. For some reason I get a message at this point telling me to create the script "Direct_Script" even though I already have one (albeit a very simple one - see below). I ignore this and plow on. To Connect: 1. Run MochaPPP on the windows machine 2. Run POSTLX 3. Press F5 (Connect) 4. Pray! Below I have listed the relevant sections from my www.cfg.

Unerase utilities for DOS will be expecting a FAT-16 filesystem and are *not* compatible with FAT-32. They do not know how to handle the FAT-32 system and can do more harm than good. If you're getting an unerase utility, make sure it's compatible with Win 98 or FAT-32. As an alternative to restoring SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT, Windows keeps backup copies, SYSTEM.DA0 and USER.DA0, so you could use them if they exist.

It is called "Sachsenkleber" (I think in English this should be "Saxon glue" ;-) ). It is only made and available in Dresden, Germany. Dresden is a Saxon city, hence the name. ;-) You can order Sachsenkleber at http://www.sachsenkleber.de It is an industrial glue, actually not available in shops, hence very expensive, but it works. I have applied a few drops of Sachsenkleber to my almost entirely broken hinge, prying it a little bit more apart with a screwdriver, so that a little bit of the fluid gets into the gap. Then the crack has to be pressed together for some minutes. The superfluous glue which pours out of the gap when pressing doesn't become hard yet, it is like superglue. If it's enough pressed, you can sprinkle a little bit of another component of Sachsenkleber onto this superfluous fluid. This component is a kind of powder and lets the glue bubble on the crack become hard. Very hard. EXTREMELY hard! ;-) So you don't just glue the crack together again, but in addition you create a second layer of material over the crack, which helps holding it together. Looks ugly, I admit. But this may even prevent potential thefts from stelaing the LX. And I really don't worry about the look of the case. The Sachsenkleber is a kind of Cyan Acrylate glue, like some two component glues. Not the Epoxy kind of glue. I think Epoxy is not hard nough for this job (although it may also be worth a try). I use my LX daily opening and closing it approximately 5-10 times per day, sometimes much more. And since one week this fixed hinge crack is as solid again as it has never been there. Oh, there is also an English version of the Sachsenkleber homepage at www.sachsenkleber.de (click on the English flag) with all technical details of this kind of glue. So it should be possible to find a similar product in other countries.

The software is called Mocha W32 PPP and is available from www.mochasoft.dk as shareware. 2. You install it on a Windoze machine (I have installed and run it on machines running Win95, Win98, WinMe, and WinNt4) 3. It provides a "pass through" gateway (I am not really sure of the technical term) between a TCP/IP stack running on another PC connected via the serial port. This means that you can run Mochasoft on a desktop PC and and LXTCP or WWWW/LX on your palmtop, and instead of a modem connected to your serial port you connect the HPLX to the desktop machine running MochaSoft. 4.Setup: In my case I am using a single speed Hp200LX running a modified LXTCP A) On the Windoze machine: - Install Mochasoft - On the configuration page set "Windows CE", and the comm port and Baud rate (for a single speed Hp200LX I use 19200) - Once you start it up, it sits there waiting for you HP200LX to start a connection. B) On the HPLX -The following is my chat script for connecting to mochasoft: ECHO ON TIMEOUT 120 '' CLIENT -the following is my pppd.cfg for mochasoft: local crtscts asyncmap 0 I also have the namserver set to the nameserver of the local network 5.That is it. I found it easy to connect. The only problem (and it was a big one) is a "bug" in Mochasoft/LXTCP or actually in Mochasoft/WATTCP (the TCP stack on which LXTCP is based). When resolving a host name, WATTCP automatically adds the domain name, so if you are trying to connect to "yahoo.com" and your domain is "dasoft.com", WATTCP will first try to connect to "yahoo.com.dasoft.com". Only when this fails will it try again without the domain name. Unfortunately there is a bug in Mochasoft that it ALWAYS returns an IP address even if it cannot resolve the name correctly. So then what happens is that the host returned by a DNS resolution rejects your messages. I fixed this by modifiying WATTCP to suit my needs, and rebuilding the LXTCP suite with this modification. I have written to Erick Engele (the Wattcp author) and he states that Wattcp works according to protocol. I have written to Mochasoft and they say they will fix their software in the next release if and when it comes about (!!) I hope I have made myself clear. Any questions -feel free to ask. I have not made the modified LXTCP suite available as I have not had the time to package it set up web page for downloads etc etc. If there is a demand for this I will try to find the time to do it....

Norton unerase system.dat and user.dat are 8x3 file names so no worry about long file names. I use the DOS unerase.exe in W9x Norton utilities running off a floppy. It can handle FAT32 but will truncate long file names. Whatever you do, DO NOT boot windows, do not copy files to/on the hard drive. Backing up registry files could cause problems. Booting to DOS is OK, but don't write to the HD. 2. Scanreg from DOS I would archive/backup the entire hard drive with ghost or ezi etc. Running scanreg.exe will sometimes allow recovery of previously saved registries. If data is critical, I would only do this when I knew I could restore to original from an image. 3. Data recovery Even if one cannot boot windows, data can still be recovered with long file names if you know where data is stored. I use a utility from ITS-Systems that allows me to boot to DOS accsssing long file names.

It runs = on the desktop. It allows POST/LX running on the HP200LX to send and retrieve mail while you surf the net or do your online banking on the desktop. All this with a single phone line. The physical connection is easy as you don't have to replace your flash = card with a modem or network card, you simply plug in the serial cable between = th e HP and the desktop and voil=E0. In MS Internet Explorer (or Netscape) you have the option to open multiple windows sharing the same connection while browsing the net. MochaPPP is a = bit like one of those windows which is exploited by the HP200LX via the = serial cable. My WWW.CFG contains the following lines. You will see that I use a = frequency of 38400 bauds, you should define the same in MochaPPP. Also do select WindowsCE (not PalmPilot) in MochaPPP to allow the connection. The procedure to connect is as follows : On the desktop: 1. Connect the HP to the Desktop via the serial cable 2. Launch your favorite browser on the Desktop (e.g.MS Internet Explorer) (it will automatically dial the phone and open an Internet connection) 3. Launch MochaPPP (it will plug itself in the open Internet connection) On the HP: 4. Launch Post/LX with the MochaPPP www.cfg inserted 5. Ask Post/LX to retrieve the mail as you would do usually (F5) 6. When you have finished you can close MS Internet Explorer which will = hang up the phone and close all Internet connections.

Luckilly enough, I had a full archive of the files so I could restore the damage files :-) I read the pages from Daniel Hertrich, (www.daniel-hertrich.de), about HPLX and EMI and possible solutions. But the problem is, if the mobile is more than 20 cm away from the HPLX, the IrDA connection does not work so well ; putting the mobile closer to the HPLX seems to increase the risks of EMI. Have you experienced similar problems with the Timeport? What solutions have you experienced?

Palmtops with 32MB or more would be, I think, because in these palmtops additional wires are mounted, which are address lines and they are some cm long so they could act as antennas and the address values can thus be affected by EMI and data could be written to a wrong address that way. But again, you would be the first person who experienced such kind of affection. It would be great if you would try to find out if it is really EMI which causes your proglems. > I read the pages from Daniel Hertrich, > (www.daniel-hertrich.de), about HPLX and EMI and > possible solutions.

Yes, htis is the same problem as with the Siemens phones. Probably Motorola also uses low-power IrDA chips. :-( Please download Stefan Peichl's Ring.com (peichl.hplx.net/ring.zip) and fire it up, press Enter once to enter debug mode, place your telephone 10 cm away from the LX and dial a not valid number. This causes the phone to connect to the network for some time (but they won't charge you anything, since the number you've dialed is not valid). Then please write down some of the higher numbers which appear on the upper half of the screen and tell us what they are. This would be interesting to compare to values other telephones cause. Try the same test also with a distance of 20cm and 30cm.

I have expected numbers around 100 or 200...! ring.com counts the characters coming from the IR receiver circuit. The GHz-signals a phone sends are not detected, because it is a too high frequence. But these signals are pulsed by a frequency of a few kHz, and these pulses cause induced voltages in the receiver circuit which are decoded by the iR decoder as incoming characters (nonsense, of course). And this causes the disturbation of real incoming IR signals. So if you get numbers of only 1 or 2, there should be no reason why data should be disturbed, and that means weak disturbing signals which can not at all cause data corruption on your drives.

The card that interests me the most if the 'socket low power lan card' (CF adapter) as it is even lower power consumption than the Accton or Silicom. Etienne reported that the LXEN2216 driver works with it also, but I have not tried it myself. The best price I have seen so far is about U$80.00. It may be worth it for a bit more battery life if it works. I will see if there is one at a local store and try it if I get a chance. Of course, I will post if I have success.

I do not yet know if it is an ASCII-input Yes, it takes ASCII, and can either interpret HP escape sequences for fancy effects or Epson MX80 sequences (I think this depends on one of the DIP switch settings). HP made these printers with four or five different interfaces: 2225A is HP-IB, 2225B is HP-IL (and battery-powered, for use with the HP 110 and Portable Plus), 2225C is Centronics parallel, and 2225D is RS-232 on a DB25S so you might want to keep your eyes open for one of those. I've also seen some of these printers with a DA15S connector (narrower than a DB25) but can't remember what the model number those were, maybe also 2225C as I think they were also considered parallel. If you need to get ink cartridges, the ca. 1990 HP QuietJet printers used the same sort. There were also two flavors of ink: earlier cartridges worked best with special HP ThinkJet paper, later cartridges were made with ink that worked OK on plain paper. -Frank McConnell ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 22:54:39 +0100 Reply-To: "g. van wirdum" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "g. van wirdum" Subject: Re: Printers Comments: To: Leo Bellantoni MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I would have to check which one the 2225C is, but I do have a 2225B here. The difference probably is the interface. Mine has HP-IL, and I used it (it still works, but I use it only very occasionally) with the HP-41 programmable calcuputers and the HP Portable Plus "laptop". Great machines, all these! The 200 LX does not talk HP-IL, allthough I believe there was a third-party IL-module somehow for it in the early LX years. If your interface is serial, or if you have a suitable interface adapter, the Thinkjet should work with the LX. It accepts, according to a soft-switchable mode, Epson printing codes and a more powerful early (the earliest?) version of HP-laserprinter codes (PCL, perhaps avant le mot). In case you need, I could scan or photocopy the complete code tables for you (but allow some time...). I actually wrote a graphics printer driver for the Thinkjet for use with the T-Master programme suite (does that still exist?). It was an excellent printer for those days, with quite good graphics capabilities, too. I assume most anything the built-in laser printer driver of the LX sends to a printer is understood by the Thinkjet. Be aware there are two types of printer cartridges for it. The one (HP 92261A) is for special inkjet paper (the white, smooth quality, HP 92261N for 2500 Z-folded sheets A4), the other (HP 51604 A, same as Canon CJ-3A) for normal paper. I am not sure the 92261 numbers still exist, but about a year ago there was no problem to obtain the 51604A or the Canon).

Most of the info is what Mark Wallace-Jones already posted. Available at http://www.mochasoft.dk. Click on Download and get mppp.zip. This is a 32-bit version that will work with WinCE and Palm Pilot-like devices. The website has details. Unzip. Run SETUP.EXE on the desktop. It is fast. I have problems installing the product where I wanted, but it installed instantly in the default libs suggested. Run MPPP.EXE on desktop. Speed set to 57600 (mine did not work at 115200). Tell it it is a WinCE. Tell it the proper com post where you plug the cable that goes to the Palmtop. Next: Connect the serial cable to a serial port on desktop and to the Palmtop. I had troubles until I realized I was using a Palmtop Serial cable with a crossed over line, which required the black crossover connector. Once that is done connection was immediate. So use a REGULAR serial cable, not one for a modem. Next, on the Palmtop: WWWSETUP.EXE, press SETUP, then "+" to Add a "Setup" (a Connection). As Mark detailed: External modem, uncheck modem (tells WWW.EXE it is a direct connect), PPP connection (vs. SLIP), Setup up baud rate. My 115200 could not work, too many errors, but 56700 was fine. The SAME BAUD rate must be set on both ends: MochaPPP and WWWSETUP! Modeminit blank (type one space!) As in Dial=3D, login, password. MyIP, DNS1, DNS2 all 0.0.0.0. Name the script under Script=3D My WWW.cfg sections: ---------- WWW.CFG ÝGlobal¨ ... Setup=3DmochaPPP ÝSetup¨ ... mochaPPP=3DMochaPPP Direct ÝScript¨ ... MochaPPP_Script=3DDirect Connect script (When I tried this name mochaPPP_Script I got a message from WWWSETUP that there was no "mochaPPP_Script" in the CFG file. Uppercasing the "M" worked.)

In any case see above whet the script should be. Start up WWW/LX and tell it to start (spawn) Post/LX. Make sure the Setup for mochaPPP connection is in force (CTRL-F5 in Post/LX). F5 will create the PPP connection with MochaPPP, and you can see the MPPP.EXE screen giving feedback about byte numbers, etc. I am now going to try in the next mailrun to see if I can have a browser downloading something while Post/LX can also get stuff on the same CIS connection. After a few more days, when we have more experience, I'll put a FAQ item on D&A Website. This is waaay cool.

I would like to be able to do the same thing as mochaPPP provides, but with a Linux box instead of Windows. I have already a working internet connection from Linux (DSL) and I have IP forwarding and IP masquerading enabled. This works great when I connect my Omnibook 800 and my palmtop to the linux box with Ethernet cards. I can access the Internet from these devices, too. However, it would be nicer to connect the palmtop via serial cable to the Linux box, because this makes PCMCIA card swapping superfluous. At least everytime I only want to download email, and this is by far the most often usage here. ;-) I think the Linux pppd should do the job I need, but I have not figured out how to set pppd up the right way. Also I don't know how to set up WWW/LX correctly so that I can use the PPP over serial line correctly. Any hints?

You of course already need to have the Microsoft IR stack installed and working and in the case of a desktop some sort of IR dongle. I use it with WWW/LX and my standard CIS setup and IR. I actually prefer it to MochaPPP for dial up connections as I find it more reliable over IR (obviously if you are using a desktop with no IR dongle then this will not work for you). I use MochaPPP mostly when I want to pick up my email over my network at work. In both cases I use IR to connect - who needs cables! The web-site says the software will not work with Win2000 - I have managed to get it to work with Win2000 but I needed to install a separate driver. If anyone wants help with this, give me a shout.

The next step for me is now to make this also work with my Ombibook 800, as I also swant to connect to the Internet with the palmtop when I am in the university using my OB800, which is connected to Internet via wireless LAN all the time. I hope I can make it work over IrDA - that would be indeed the most convenient way and a challenge in addition! :-) Since there is now an IrDA driver for the OB800 for Linux, it should not be a big problem.

If I do a "modem 1", it says "found" if Linux is connected. my setcom.bat says "external modem found". But I would like to be able to let setcom.bat choose the correct www setup ("pppd_linux" in my case) ir not a modem, but the linux box with its pppd is connected.

There was another spreadsheet out there -I haven't got a copy any more and I can't find it on either the S.U.P.E.R. site or the very useful http://www.simtel.net/pub/msdos/ location- which "did" multiple cell optimization. However, I looked at it once upon a time and concluded that it does not really do optimization in multiple variables. Rather, it loops over a sequence of optimizations, each in an individual variable. You might as well write an HPLX system macro to jump back and forth from 123 to HPcalc and solve for each particular combination of cells. This algorithm is not a very useful thing; in a multidimensional space, finding the optimum one dimension at a time is worse than finding... never mind. If you are looking for the minimum of a quadratic, I have an algorithm which maybe you could modify. If you are looking for anything more complicated than that, I would suggest getting a high level language compiler running, (rather than Lotus' macro language) and then write some code, starting with http://lib-www.lanl.gov/numerical/... their simplex algorithm is a good start but it won't tell you if your "best answer" is precisely found or if anything close to it is pretty good. > Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 12:14:58 -0500 > From: "Corso, Tony" > Subject: leads DOS Whats BEST for 123?? > > there were a couple of "optimization" programs for 123 v2.4 Ý"whats > best", and some others¨. > > They essentially amounted to a "back solve" function that could accept > MULTIPLE cells as input parameters Ýand that need for multiple input > cells is why the 200lx's built in backsolver tie-in to the calculator > wont work¨ > > Any leads on where to obtain copies? > > Tony Leo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leo Bellantoni MS 231, FermiLab Batavia, IL 60510 Pager:(630)266-3803 "The more I use computers, the more I like pencils." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 09:42:44 -0600 Reply-To: Leo Bellantoni Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Leo Bellantoni Subject: Fluff: A nice site.

The other alternative, running Post/LX directly on the Linux Laptop using DOSEMU and PALRUN turned out to be impractical due to crashes of DOSEMU and because of the hassles copying Post/LX files from ant to the flash card a lot.

Many years ago, (just looked it up - it was just over seven), I bought a bottle of screen cleaning liquid from Educalc called "Snap". I seem to remember the blurb saying that it was the stuff they used on the telescope lenses at Mt. Palomar. Their '96 catalogue said, "the only cleaner recommended by HP for cleaning computers and calculators". I've used it on everything and it works well. Most importantly, it hasn't appeared to harm anything like plastic or screen coatings etc. It not only cleans, but it leaves a sheen on the glass that repels dust and further muck so the screens stay cleaner longer. The bottle says: Mist Products Inc., 16 Watch Hill Rd., Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. 10520 I'm about a quarter of the way through so 30 years supply for $4.95 was pretty good :-) The same invoice shows my HP-16C for $34.95 which wasn't bad either! Personally, I'd seriously consider trying a product called (in the UK anyway) Rain-X. It's for motorcycle visors and does pretty much the same thing - leaving a glossy sheen. Also, have a look at camera lens products, they're far more delicate and far more "coated" than an LX screen. One caveat about the spit & shirt-sleeve technique (shame on you Ed ;-)) although this warning applies to all techniques, is that wiping the crud, hard, across the screen might scratch it. Be gentle with the liquid phase until all grit is removed before polishing. Not quite an answer to your question about the wipes, but I think anything designed for palmtop/laptop screens will be 100% safe with the LX's screen. --=20 Chris Randle ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 10:14:56 -0600 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: Printers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Leo Bellantoni wrote: > > I'm sorry - I should add some more information.

The MX80 was a printer that printed plain ASCII text with imbedded control characters. It does recognize TABs (9) and Newlines (either 0DAh or 0Ah) and Form Feeds (0Ch) so it should work on normal text. There are also characters you can insert to change the pitch and underline, etc but I don't remember what they are. They shouldn't be hard to find on the web. If you use a word processor and set it for a generic printer that should work just fine. I think most word processors generic printers were simplified forms of either the Epson or the IBM printer and for simple text those are the same. The MX80 was the standard printer on most PCs back in the days when PC meant Personal Computer and included Apples and TRS-80s and other microcomputers. These mostly used 0DAh as a line termination character but TRS-80s used 0Dh and a some used 0Ah so I think the MX80 had a dip switch setting to control that. If I remember right the MX100 was the wider version of the MX80 but I'm not sure I have that right.

I made a date entry column in Excel like 12/15/2001 and, after converting and opening in 123, it shows up fine (after widening the cell) in the spreadsheet, but the displayed value (in the data entry field) is: 37240. What the heck is that number? I noticed 37241 gives 12/16/2001 and 1 gives 01/01/00. Does that mean it's the number of days "AD"? I'm sure this was addressed in the 123/Y2K discussions; but I'm just now noticing ! Also, and I promise to write it down this time, how do you make the boundaries around the cells visible again, when you open a 123 file in Excel?

I clean the LX screen in pretty much the same way as my lenses. I usually carry a micro-fiber cloth used for lens cleaning, which has fibers small enough to remove fingerprints from glass without the need for a solution. These are available at any camera store, and some stores even carry them for cleaning eyeglasses or drying hair (because they're very absorbent due to the small fibers). Basically, any cloth/paper for cleaning lenses/glass will do. Blow / brush off any loose dust and debris with a blower, a fine brush or whatever, and then wipe gently with the cloth. Then, if the screen is still smudged with fingerprints, fog it with your breath and then wipe it again gently with the cloth. Hasn't hurt my LX or lenses yet, and it works as long as I'm still breathing. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 15:14:30 -0500 Reply-To: Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: Modem.com etc. In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit You could probably right your own front-end script that watches the com port and ignores modem related commands (atdt, etc.) and responds with 'OK' until it's ready to start pppd. then just start pppd and you're good 2 go. > -----Original Message----- > From: HPLX Mailing List Ýmailto:HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu¨On > Behalf Of > Daniel Hertrich > Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 4:04 AM > To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu > Subject: Modem.com etc. > > > Stefan, > > do you think it is possible in some way to distinguish > between a modem > connected to the palmtop's COM port or the serial cable > leading to the > Linux box? > > If I do a "modem 1", it says "found" if Linux is connected. > my setcom.bat says "external modem found". > But I would like to be able to let setcom.bat choose the correct www > setup ("pppd_linux" in my case) ir not a modem, but the > linux box with > its pppd is connected. > > Thanks > daniel > > -- > http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact > > ** 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: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 15:14:30 -0500 Reply-To: Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Linux PPPD --> www/lx (WAS: MochaPPP) In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I got it working as well.

The static charge would make those old meters read funny because the needles had to overcome the charge to position correctly. A little careful cleaning with windex or a mild soap solution would not only clean the display but also remove the built up static charge so it stayed cleaner longer.

I was so happy with the printer that I offered to forward the following message to the list. Note that to use the printer with the LX you will need to buy a serial cable from pentaxtech.com. A 6 inch cable will cost ~$40 plus shipping. (For those unfamiliar with this printer it is a thermal printer but uses its own special paper that is of higher quality than typical thermal paper. The printer emulates a HP laserjet IIP.) The printer is a very nice package for on the road printing and is faster, more durable and has better print quality than the Citizen PN60 which I also have.

I don't think that it's possible to use this connection for backup (i.e. file transfer) purposes. But there are other options for that. Lots of options. Please go to http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/rs232 and jump tu the guide how to connect a PC to the LX. I have added links to various pieces of software which do what you want. The easiest would probably be Transfile Win200, but has other problems, such as changing the file date and time when you copy files over to the PC. And you need a patch to make disappear the common error that it sometimes stops while transfering data. I have this patch, please drop me a line if you need it.

I have also experienced this, but this also happens sometimes if you have an external modem connection. I wonder what causes this - if there is no data transmission, there should not be anything what could occupy CPU power of the palmtop. I always disconnect the connection after up/downloading to avoid this. I use the dis.com as externel for that.

MODEM checks for the CTS signal. Usually CTS is only set, if you are connected to a modem. I wonder why Linux uses CTS for a serial connection, which could be replaced by a 3-wire null modem cable? To check for a real modem. one should try to send AT commands and check for an answer. I think, PORT1.EXE from Andreas (included in SETCOM.ZIP) works that way. Indeed this solution is slower, because you must give the modem time to answer. It is especially slow, if there is no modem connected and a timeout occurs. Only for this reason I initially wrote MODEM.

I've been trying to generalize LXSTAT for all maschines in the LX-family and am suffering under lack of technical documentation of 95LX. I haev done some work by exhaustive search of the I/O ports and BIOS data area ... :( and it's extremely time-consuming. I hope you could help me on that. I need description of the BIOS data area and the I/O ports of the 95LX which is quite different from those of 100/200LX using Hornet chipset. * Please share your notes on the BIOS data and I/O ports of the 95LX. I've gotten only some bits of them. There is a detailed description of one or two I/O ports regarding IR (in the file "ir.doc"). * How does "BATTCK.COM" make it to check the voltage of an SRAM? But, I'm not even sure that the output of BATTCK.COM is correct ... comments? How does one do this on 95LX *and* 100/200LX? * Is there a description of the CardBIOS of 95LX (if there is any)? * Also, in order to understand some of CardBIOS, I'm in need of the complete files of CICDEMO. (David has not included the include-files in his CIC200.) (I've already downloaded LXCIC from Stefan and Rod.) They are both good references. * Anybody has noticed that the Timer0 (of 8254) on the 95LX is running on mode 0? (while 100/200LX in mode 3 like most PC's) What's going on there with the three 8254-channels on the 95LX? Any comments? And there is an very interesting effect to reprogram the Timer0 of 95LX to mode 3 (using a new version of LxStat) and "IC.COM 8". I need explanations ... * While on the 100/200LX the BIOS time are the RTC time are always synchronized on deep-sleep-wakeup, they are always synchronized on the 95LX. That is, I can make the heart-beats much faster (e.g. 60 Hz), on my 200LX, and then the BIOS time will run faster. But they are synchonized by pressing OFF/ON. On the other hand I never have made it to disturb the BIOS time on 95LX. == Non 95-specific == * What's an algorithm for determining if there is a battery on the PCMCIA card? Thanks in advance for any info!

Well, RTS/CTS is AFAIK a common handshaking mechanism, not only used by modems. Missing handshaking lines lead to many problems in data exchange with null modem cables. So I think pppd and WWW/LX make use of this hadshaking even when connected via direct serial line. > To check for a real modem. one should try to send AT commands > and check for an answer.

Only for this reason I initially wrote MODEM. AT commands are probably the only option here. Well, is the timeont of port1.exe customizeable? Well, I just tried it (without a connected modem, but without pppd on the other side, either) and the timeout was only one second or so. So it is no real disadvantage for me. Thanks for the advice. I'll probably replace modem.com by port1.exe now in my setcom.bat. Have to build a new setcom.bat anyway.

I couldn't find much on the web. But I was looking for MX80 stuff so I don't know. I'm not familiar with that particular printer but I've written MX80 drivers and, in particular, drivers for Panasonic printers that could be in either IBM or MX80 modes. So I got pretty familiar with them. The only HPs I wrote drivers for were Lazerjet II printers. And something for an old plotter but I barely remember that. Anyway someone said it had an MX80 mode and I was commenting on how that can be used. The Panasonic printers were the only serial printers I've dealt with. They came parallel and in most cases thats how we used them but there was a replacement interface that would plug in and make it a serial printer and I had to deal with that from time to time. Thats not an area I have a lot of knowlege about.

A Dos text file has lines terminated by a carriage return followed by a newline. That's 0DAh or char(13)+char(10) at the end of each line. In some cases it may only be at the end of each paragraph. A unix text file has lines terminated by a newline only. That's 0Ah or char(10). A simple test for this is to load the file into Notepad. It handles the Dos files just fine but if it's a unix file the lines don't terminate properly, they just run right on. And you probably will see a little black block where each line should terminate. It doesn't recognize the single newline as a line terminator and instead tries to print it and I think the black block is what it uses for an unknown character. As far as I know this only works in Notepad. Word or Write can handle either kind of text file gracefully so you can't really tell the difference. But in Notepad you can.

I've always kept it in mind. It suggested that any cleaning of the screen might be harmful and the wise course is to care for the screen in such a way that it doesn't need cleaning.

I have several laptops and several PDAs of various kinds and still I don't think I clean a screen more than every couple of years. Then I just use water and a soft cloth.

The technique for cleaning optics (lenses, filters, etc.) that I was taught in my grad school laser lab, is to drop a bit of ethanol on the surface, lightly lay a lens paper across it, and then pull the paper horizontally across and off of the surface. With my 200LX I also avoid touching it, but it invariably needs to be cleaned every so often. I gently blow off as much dust as I can, find a soft cotton cloth, moisten the surface with a bit of pure water, and then gently wipe. -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 19:39:13 +0100 Reply-To: "Bel, Michel" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Bel, Michel" Subject: Accton card MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Folks, I can buy an Accton Ethernet card.

However, if you unplug the network cable and leave the dongle plugged in, it shoots up to about 350-400ma. The EN2216-1 is probably lower. documentation lists the power usage at 130mA at 5V using RJ-45 (280mA using BNC). - the EN2216-1 uses 110 mA while the EN2216-2 (i.e. with coax) uses 200 mA. The current limit for the HP200LX being 150 mA, the EN2216-2 will not work while the EN2216-1 is OK. However I seem to recall people mentioning they used 2216-2 without problems, as long as they used only the RJ45 connector. The 2216-1 has only a RJ45 connector, while the 2216-2 has both a BNC connector and a RJ45 I seem to recall I bought my 2216-1 for 20$ two years ago (+shipping, duties,VAT), so I figure your present offer is fair.

Yang Why is that you can get either a big keyboard or no keyboard at all? I have finally retired my handheld Hewlett Packard 320LX, which though a bit worn from years of service managed to find a new home through Ebay months ago. The front latch and stylus were gone, but the bidding among the four interested parties was reasonably heated, and before I knew it my palmtop was sold. Not that I have sworn off "checkbook" sized machines. Unlike others who complained about the small size of the early handheld Windows CE machines, I remain enamored of firm, tactile "qwerty" keyboards, and though my HP 320LX is gone, an even older DOS-based HP 200LX has taken its place while I evaluate whether I want to fight with its legacy operating system or consider another machine. The HP 200LX, my favorite palmtop of all time, was and is made for techies who like hot keys, macros and batch files. When Hewlett Packard chose to discontinue the HP 200LX, my excitement for personal digital assistants was deflated. I have never really forgiven Hewlett Packard for discontinuing the HP 200LX, but if I were to be totally aboveboard, I and others like me were more victims of Palm's success at finally and truly making the palmtop popular on a mass scale. The problem is that an assembly line mentality still pervades the personal digital assistant market, even as desktop manufacturers have begun configuring machines to user specifications. I bought the HP 320LX when it first came out, because I feared getting left behind in what I thought would be a tectonic shift in the PDA market towards Windows CE. I bought the machine at a liquidation price at an Egghead store (the company at that time was closing all its physical locations). At first, the novelty of having mini versions of MS Office applications was exciting, but it wore off over time. The processor was faster and more elaborate than that of my old HP 200LX, but the operating system was likewise more complex and bloated, and the device thus seemed slower, not faster. The HP 320LX boasted a wider screen, but the screen also made the device larger and heavier than the HP 200LX, 11 ounces versus the sprightly eight ounces of the HP 200LX. The stripped down Pocket Excel was laughable for anyone used to any of the full versions. The HP 320LX sat in my apartment for months, lightly used, until the idea of reading e-books on the device grabbed hold of me. Once I became accustomed to reading a horizontally-oriented book, I knocked down some hefty classical tomes that had been on my reading list for years: Tolstoy's War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Joseph Conrad's The Jungle, D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. As much utility as I finally got out of the HP 320LX, though, at the end of the day it was too big for me to comfortably stuff into the back pocket of my jeans, much less the breast pocket of a suit. Others since then have tried to convince me that Windows CE has made quantum leaps since its clumsy beginnings, but the machines only seem to have gotten larger. I own an IBM Wordpad z50 and a Sharp PV-6000-both Windows CE-based handheld PCs. They are useful, but not small enough to become my daily personal information manager. Hewlett Packard's own Jornada 720 handheld PC is a fine machine, but again much heavier than the original little handhelds. The Compaq iPAQ does not do it former journalist. I need a keyboard. -- R.K. Meyer MSEE K7PPC bmeyer@union-tel.com Elk Mountain WY http://w3.union-tel.com/~bmeyer/ His name...

Yang Although I am tempted, I cannot really blame Hewlett Packard for abandoning checkbook-sized machine aficionados like me. I am sure that somewhere in Austin or Singapore or wherever the company makes its decisions these days, a marketing person determined that there were not enough people like me. Maybe they are right. Not everyone appreciates the numerical keypad of the HP 200LX like those of us in the financial industry. A product planner might simply view a keypad as a waste of already precious keyboard real estate. Psion made a less than stellar foray, at least from a marketing point of view, into the checkbook-sized market with its Revo. What stumps me, however, is why Hewlett Packard, Compaq, Palm, Casio and Handspring all seem to be chasing the exact same markets: why do they believe that there are only two key markets, large keyboards or no keyboards at all. They have relegated the rest of us to using legacy machines. Someone in the HP 200LX community has created software to convert the contacts database to and from MS Outlook, but it is not quite ActiveSync. A vendor has created web browsing software, but such an application MS Pocket Explorer comes "free" on Windows CE machines. Still, supporters of the HP200LX remain staunch. One vendor that sells refurbished HP 200LXes says that it has sold or serviced 12,000 of the units since they were discontinued. A user group in Japan has floated the idea of a user built DOS-based palmtop and has even supplied specifications for the machine on the web. An email mailing list remains heavily trafficked with tips and suggestions on how to use the device. So for now I am going to be a Luddite and explore how to again use one of these age-old 80186 machines-until someone begins manufacturing a small palmtop for people like me, or until I lose heart again, go with the flow, and buy the kind of machine that everyone else is getting.

For this feature the outbox displays the next due date of the dig. Digs can be scheduled in daily units or in terms of minutes and hours. Certain days and months can be excluded. The scheduling can be by the clock, or relative to the time of the last dig. So, you can allocate digs to the morning or evening, and exclude them on Sundays, for example.

Would anyone please give me a hint? My wish is that at least the following functions should be built-in in the CAS: LU-decomposition, QR- decomp. Eigen-decomposition, SVD (I call it *the* algebraic swiss knife), ... and that user-programmable numerical iteration should be supported. These are supported on the HP48 by third-party software. They are support on the HP49 *built-in*. The HP49 even does *symbolic* eigen-decomposition! And I've even heard that (again, from google-group-search) the CAS on HP49 outputs a principle vector in place of a "missing" eigenvector when the matrix is defective! That good idea interests me very much. :) As for RPN, I still really have to try to work with it. Where do I obtain free material, application notes, to introduce myself into RPN, so that I can't live without it? I'm seriously considering getting myself a HP49. But I'll also be asking myself, why do I have to, when I already have a 200LX in my pocket? (Which, supports so many programming languages for free.)

Yes, buy it! 20$ is good, but be sure to use the EN2216-2 only with the RJ45 Ethernet, but with BNC/Coaxial: The 2216-2 has a BNC connector in addition to the RJ45 (the 2216-1 only has RJ45), but the BNC Ethernet needs more power than the RJ45 one, and the 200LX can't provide enough power.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, as I've said, I'm hacking the LXSTAT for *all* LX's palmtops and more features. One bad thing is that the size of the binary is growing. Please allow me to say: I hate that! The new version is currently 25649 bytes (pklited). The source is a single C-file of size 192159 bytes (incl. comments). My question is: How do I make (using TCC v2.0) the binary even smaller? (Or do you suggest another compiler? An ANSI one please.) And yes, please give me any advice even if that only reduces it by 1 byte. Because the program is very string-manipulation oriented (for a "natural" command-line-interface), rewriting it in assembly language will kill me. I'll describe as follows the efforts I've done thus far. Please comment if you have objection or better idea. Also, please explain me things if you notice that I don't quite understand something. And, let's make, for the time being, readability, maintainability, ... and so on minor issues.) * I do use "goto" that is usually considered a "bad" style whenever it saves me some bytes. :) * I use inline ASM whenever I know that it reduces the size. But it's not quite clear to me, when exactly will the binary smaller. Would you also experiment and share your results? I'm not sure which registers I'll have to push. And, I have no idea how Turbo C is doing it when C-statements and inline-ASM are strongly interleaved inside a function. But please don't tell me to read the assembly output. I can't read that language of angels! Or you'll have to teach me that. :) * More functions seem to increase the size. So, I'm eliminating unnecessary modulization and combining them to a single function. * I avoid local variables and try to share some global ones whenever it is safe. (Of source, this is destroying capsulation, but ... it's a minor issue now.) * More arguments to be passed to a function seeem to increase the size. So, I pass them via global variables whenever encapsulation is not absolutely necessary. Sometimes I do need an argument, for example, scanning the serial-ports at different base-addresses by the same function. * I compile with tcc -d -mt -lt -O -Z but -d (merge duplicate strings) sometimes does not work. That is, the output of help-messages are corrupted. But not always. Thanks in advance! Rudi PS. Turbo C/TCC is a freely available 16-bit ANSI C compiler by Borland and runs on all of our palmtops (incl. 95LX). PS.

I have a bunch of utilities written for the 95lx that come with a windows help file that explains their functions. There's no source but about 4/5 of them are written in assembly and only a hundred or two hundred bytes long so it'll be easy to see how they work. It probably won't be a lot harder to trace the functionality of the c programs. If you want to send me a private email I'll send it to you in a reply.

There's a bug in the Jaguar's emulation of the 8254 chip in mode 3. Mode 0 works correctly and can be used in the same way with a slightly changed technique. I first ran into this problem way back when in the days when the 95lx was king, while trying to write a background music driver for a silly little animation I did. I mentioned it on Compuserve's HPHAND where there were such luminaries as Mark Scardinia but no work-around was offered. Then a new guy joind the forum. I wish I could remember his name. He was student who had played with the 95lx the first half of the summer. He spent the second half of the summer telling all of us things we didn't know about the 95lx. Then he was gone. Sometimes I wonder if it was a dream. :) Anyway he was the one who conceived the idea of using mode 0 as a workaround for that bug. I'd never used anything but mode 3 so it never occurred to me to look into the other modes. I was still trying to get mode 3 to work. I have some notes about this somewhere but they might not be possible to find at this late date. All that old stuff is on floppies and I have a couple of thousand poorly organized floppies. I used to just know where everything was but that's no longer the case. I will look. > * While on the 100/200LX the BIOS time are the RTC > time are always synchronized on deep-sleep-wakeup, > they are always synchronized on the 95LX.

On the > other hand I never have made it to disturb the BIOS > time on 95LX. The timer isr I wrote for the 95 works fine on the 100/200 lx with no interference with the clock. I can't remember now but I think it ran the clock about 100 times faster and then called the int 8 handler every 1/100th time. That worked cleanly on the 95 and the same code worked fine on the 200lx. Although I made that determination many years ago and haven't looked since, so I could remember that wrong. Offhand I can't think of any reason it would be a problem on the 100/200lx. By the way that does use mode 0. > == Non 95-specific == > > * What's an algorithm for determining if there is a > battery on the PCMCIA card? There was some method of getting the condition (probably the voltage) of the card battery. If LXSTAT is the program that shows a bargraph of the 3 batteries it uses that technique. A trace should find it. I also might have some notes on it.

I have one of these, a serial if I remember well, and perhaps I can dig it up these days and see whether I can make a connection between some HP-IL device and the 200LX. Here is the quotation: The HP-IL Adapter This adapter adds an HP-IL interface to your 95LX, without giving up your RAM card slot or your serial port. The HP-IL interface occupies the memory card slot, adding the HP-IL interface and another RAM card slot (i.e. you don't loose your card slot). It allows you to use HP-IL printers, disk drives, plotters, modems, and video displays. Availability........

I have no idea for a solution at the moment. You also said, you use an IR connection at university. The problem with IR is, that every sent character is immediately echoed by the hardware. That means, a simple check for an echo coming from the modem with a wired connection does not work for IR, because IR always echos, even with nothing connected at all. Checking for an OK as answer to AT means to implement full interrupt driven serial communication for the utility, which is overkill IMHO.

It doesn't work with Paledit but I don't use paledit as a text editor I use dexter. Dexter runs in text mode. When I write a messsage in PNR it swaps out to the text editor and then I can use the dictionary. Post/LX does the same but the dictionary won't run- it just gives me an error.

I don't think the errors are memory related. I get the same error if I run Maxdos and the text editor alone. It seems almost any 200LX program that swaps out prevents the dictionary from popping up.

However, the 2.4 kernel will do iptables, ipchains or the older ipfwadm but not at the same time. You have to load a kernel module for which one you wish to use. On redhat, the kernel will load automatically. This means that if your start using ipchains you won't be able to use iptables until you unload the ipchains module. IPtables is orders of magnitude higher in capabilities than ipchains.

Don't get me started! I already got whacked on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper for that one.... It seemed that subsequent connections would not negotiate properly because tghe ppp daemon was not being reset after every connection. Without the persist parameter, the ppp daemon will terminate when the connection terminates and the init daemon will respawn him.

An ANSI one please.) The single most important consideration in optimizing is to write the program small. Use small algorithms. :) That sounds funny when I say it but it's the major factor in producing a smaller program. Think of ways to do things with less code and data. And dont decide that you've done that by looking at the c. Do look at the asm. Even if you can't read it you can see what produces more code and what produces less code. You don't have to guess. Try two ways to do something and compare the size of their asm output. Use the same techniqe to determine when to optimize with asm. In this case you can gain by reading the asm output but it's doing the same thing you're doing in asm and it should be simple enough to see which is larger. I don't remember which registers you have to preserve. I think I remember that TC2 was pretty lenient about that. I looked it up just now but all I can find is the statement that if you use SI or DI then TCC won't use them for register variables. I think I'd write something with inline asm that changes DS and see if it preserves it for you. You might do the same with SS and CS and BP. Don't run it. Just look. :) * I do use "goto" that is usually considered a "bad" style whenever it saves me some bytes. :) I'm not sure that will save you bytes. I'd try a loop both ways and see what the output looks like. * I use inline ASM whenever I know that it reduces the size. But it's not quite clear to me, when exactly will the binary smaller. Would you also experiment and share your results? I'm not sure which registers I'll have to push. And, I have no idea how Turbo C is doing it when C-statements and inline-ASM are strongly interleaved inside a function. But please don't tell me to read the assembly output. I can't read that language of angels! Or you'll have to teach me that. :) You don't have to read the asm to do some optimizing, but that is the best way to find out what you want to know. There's a lot to learn from it.

We all work pretty hard at keeping the tone of this friendly and, at the same time, somewhat serious and professional. I think our choice of words is part of that. If raw language became common here it would change the nature of this group. I'm jumping in here to give my opinion not because I want to get into the argument but because it is my opinion. I don't think any harm was done. But if that kind of language became common here then harm would be done. By the way, when I'm talking to my friends I tend not to use words like that. But notice that I said "tend" not to. There are times when they're the best choice. They do convey something that can't be conveyed any other way.

Those of size 100-200 bytes are the easier ones to trace. Much more easier than C-programs (for me). > There's also a lot of information about 95lx in Ralf Brown's > interrupt list. Hmm. I've already searched thorugh his lists. Not much that I could find. In order to "stat" the current speaker-volume on 95LX, I had to search exhaustively, because no program I was able to find prints that value. I got your programs, it would have been much easier to find out which byte in BIOS area or port it is reflected. > There's a bug in the Jaguar's emulation of the 8254 chip in mode > 3.

Your reply is very informative. Don't tell me it has a bug in the "read-back" function of 8254, such that I have not even fetched the correct operating mode! So, let me know a little more about your project that time. Which channel were you using for background process? I use the channel 0 on 200LX in its original speed (18.2 Hz). This freq. is bad (too low). I did not bother to reprogram the timer0 with another higher frequency, because any program making use of Timer0 and loaded afterwards will encounter unexpectedly a different freq. then ca. 18.2 Hz. And there is no officially reliable way to ask for the divisor a 8253/4-compatible timer is programmed to run. (Although I've made LXSTAT to show the freq. of all timers using some tricks.) So, reprogrammign Timer0 to another freq should be treated as a "bad approach". The HP95LX seems to be reprogramming the Timer1 to the highest divisor 0 (or 65536) every system-tick, because although I was able to reprogram it to another freq. but next time I "stat" the freq. it is again back to 18.2 Hz. This machine must be using the timers in a quite peculiar way ... > I mentioned it on Compuserve's HPHAND where there were such > luminaries as Mark Scardinia but no work-around was offered. > Then a new guy joind the forum.

This is why I appreciate the contribution of google.com (and previously dejanews?) so much. I did find *few* very useful posts about 95LX on comp.sys.palmtop. But HPLX-L is not collected there. It would be very nice if this list is also archived there! and the Compuserve: HPHAND! That is, it would be nice if lists.google.com (*) would exists! (*) NB! The above does not exists. > The timer isr I wrote for the 95 works fine on the 100/200 lx > with no interference with the clock.

If it is true that you've programmed the Timer0 on HP95LX to a freq. other than 18.2 Hz, then I'm missing something! (help!) Because I cannot program the Timer0 on HP95LX to another freq!!! It's no problem at all on the 100/200LX, but on the 95LX for me. The 8254-emulation on 200LX behaves as expected. I think I'll be trying another program that manipulates Timer0 on the HP95LX in order to see if that was a plunder of mine. > > * What's an algorithm for determining if there is a > > battery on the PCMCIA card? > There was some method of getting the condition (probably the > voltage) of the card battery.

I use only the bit returned by 100/200 BIOS-service to say "card battery ok or low". I suppose Stefan too in his LxPro (which is always loaded on my palmtop). Even the program BATTCK.COM for 95LX displays 5 Volts in case of a flash-card on which there is no battery at all.

You don't have to click on anything. I think POST/LX has been "authentication-ready" for a year now - it always *tries* authentication with an SMTP server first and if it is not supported, it doesn't bother sending the password. If it is suported it will try to send an encypted password, and if that is not supported it sends the password in plain text.

Probably your SMTP server only allows relaying messages if you dial into their own network? And the PC which runs MochaPPP uses another network to access the Internet? What SMTP server are you using?

I am using this 200lx much more than my ipaq, which in my opinion is only useful with a wireless lan connection. I have been using my 200lx so much lately. A project I have been working on, I redid with MMLX. Suddenly I felt I understood the problem much better and was really innovating and thinking outside the box. I have been using TTLX to keep tack of time also. I create my own databases etc. Plus, I hook up my lan card and send and receive email. Quicklx is helping typing speed etc. I was showing this machine to a senior in high school, and they said they would rather have a machine like the 200lx because it seemed so functional. They didnt like poking or writing on the palm or ipaq. I just really like this machine that has been around since 1994.

You don't have to click on anything. I think POST/LX has been "authentication-ready" for a year now - it always *tries* authentication with an SMTP server first and if it is not supported, it doesn't bother sending the password. If it is suported it will try to send an encypted password, and if that is not supported it sends the password in plain text. I think I have only seen one SMTP server that did fully encrypted authentication. There is a "tip and trick" about this dated 1-1-2001 entitled "Problems with old SMTP servers".

No need to wonder about our level of intelligence or ignorance, unless it is to truly eduate and enlighten.

Before you judge too fast, have a look yourself. this is no joke. The HP cards really are sold for these obsolete prices. Probably the vendors have bought way too much of them and didn't resell them quick enough, so prices of cheap-made flash and CF cards dropped so fast that the vendors of the HP cards couldn't catch up with it. So they hope some dumb people still buy these cards only because "HP" is written on them and HP guarantees compatibility with their products....

Once this is done, all which is necessary is to find out which COM pirt is assigned the the IrDA device (via the IrCOMM protocol, don't know how this has to be set up in Windows), and you can then make the software (MochaPPP in this case) talk to that COM port. That should do the trick. Of course on the LX side you can ONLY use WWW/LX with IrDA setup.

Thinking about the type of program that lxstat is, I would imagine the most efficient way to reduce the size is to make sure that you are NOT using ANY of the int86x family of functions to call interrupts. Try as much as possible to use pseudovariables for the registers (_AX, _BX etc). or do the calls in asm functions. I reduced the PAL library a lot this way. If you can try NOT to use printf at all but do your own formatting. (This can be painful), also avoid doing: puts("abc\n"); puts("def\n"); Rather use: puts("abc\ndef\n"); The other thing you can do is to look (a really good look) at the MAP file produced by the linker. Are there functions that you dont need? For example (IIRC) turbo c automatically links in a function called getenv(). You can eliminate its code if you dont use any environment variables, by adding a dummy function: char* getenv() {} If using duplicate strings doesnt work, find out why. You can normally reduce size a lot by using it. Also if your source files are multi module (more than one source file) check whether you can reduce size by making text strings global to the program. Finally I have found that a newer compiler sometimes compiles smaller. I often devlop on the palmtop using TC++ 1.0 and then release the software after building with BC3.1 on the desktop. Without having the source code, I cant think of any other ideas. -- ** David Becher ** davidb@netmedia.net.il davidb@cimatron.co.il ** www.cimatron.co.il ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 15:16:37 +0800 Reply-To: Adrian Ho Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Adrian Ho Subject: Re: C language: how small can binaries be?

In that case, try doing away with string handling entirely. Two ideas off the top of my head: Ý1¨ Command-line arguments could be single characters instead of long strings. Ý2¨ Instead of printing status/error messages, return specific error codes instead, and let batch files do the rest. There are probably dozens of tricks along these lines, but they and Barry's algorithm suggestion boil down to one thing: Don't use or create any code you don't absolutely need. As to how you determine what you "absolutely need", more time spent in the design phase has been known to yield suprising insights into this matter. - Adrian ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 16:16:48 +0800 Reply-To: jimmytan@yeos.com.my Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: jimmytan@YEOS.COM.MY Subject: Pocket DOS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi everybody, Just wondering has anybody tried this?

It runs pretty well on a Jornada 680, even better on a 720. The downside was being able to run only one DOS application at a time (Software Carousel would lock up when starting, and I could not get DOSShell to swap sessions ... and only one copy of PocketDOS can be opened by WinCE at a time, much like the way only one DOS application can be opened from System Manager on the 200LX), and the lack of dedicated function keys on the keyboard was a big disadvantage too. Other than that, I liked it enough to buy it. However, I only ran WordPerfect 5.1 and Quicken 8.0 and a couple of other text-mode DOS applications on it; since graphics emulation is the slowest part of both XT-CE and PocketDOS, I would imagine that games or other graphics-mode applications would run significantly slower on PocketDOS, and therefore the user would have a far less satisfying experience with PocketDOS than I did. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 05:14:17 -0500 Reply-To: mikeschn@ameritech.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Schneider Subject: Re: Pocket DOS Comments: To: jimmytan@yeos.com.my In-Reply-To: <2920076817@yeos.com.my> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I run pocket dos on my 720 and it runs good, albeit a little slower than my ds LX, It runs the dos programs I throw at it.

Let's have a little peace and friendship and try to get along. We're adult's after all. Barry (modern day barbarian and part time ignoramus) P.S. I live in the country. I don't have any animals but I see them all the time and I've never yet known of one that used foul language. I suppose they must be better educated, more cultured and more intelligent than we are. Perhaps we should consider being more like them. I wonder if the cows point us out to their calves as examples of how not to behave. I wonder why the monkeys in the zoo always laugh when we walk by? They must really enjoy our antics. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 16:19:15 +0100 Reply-To: Yves Leurquin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Yves Leurquin Subject: Re: MochaPPP and WWW/LX Lan Authentication MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tony, > Mail client?

(If there is enough interest I could set one up - those interested should email me privately so I can gauge interest). I will try to cover a number of points in this one message so as not to saturate the list with non hplx related emails. Sylpheed is an email client that a number of people I have come to respect like that is supposed to be fast and stable (although still at version 0.6) and does support SMTP-AUTH. I recently downloaded a copy but have not tried it yet. HP, I also prefer Mozilla over Netscape but have been using Konqueror in preference over either of them. For email I was mostly using kmail for a while but concluded that the convenience of the hplx with post/lx can not be beat and use it exclusively for daily email. Kmail does still get used to send emails with large attachments from the desktop and to receive emails with large (typically images) attachments - I use the size cutoff in my post/lx setup to control this. Unless you have a very recent disk set the version of Mozilla you have will be older than the version Daniel mentioned - better to download if possible.

It will go through the driver and therefore not be transferred in stacked format. Then, you will have all you LX files on the PC/Mac and you can move them back to a new non-stacker card via the same method. If you need the Mac serial cable, post a message on this board, I believe someone had one for sale a couple of months ago. METHOD TWO: Another way to it is to move as much as you can to your C: drive (first maximumize C: drive size through setup by using less RAM for memory.) Then take out the stacked card and insert an unstacked card (Like a Sandisk, that needs no driver) and move the files from the C: drive to the unstacked A: drive. Repeat until all files moved. (This is definately the "last resort" option as it will take considerable time). METHOD THREE: Use another LX with an unstacked card in it and transfer via the IR port....this will take a long time if you have 20 MB card. METHOD FOUR: Do some research, you may find a later version of stacker can read the old 2.0 format. You may even find that the drivers might be available on the Net for download. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sidney Ho" To: Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 2:10 PM Subject: Re: Ace Cards & Stacker Compression > I have some old Ace PCMCIA ATA flash cards, 10 mb and 20 mb--very costly in > their day.

Even a modem that doesn't use more than the 150 mA will shut down the LX if you plug it in when the LX is on. The best thing to do is look at a spec sheet and see what the current requiremnts are for the modem.

A www log would maybe show what is happening. > Any help will be appreciated in tracing and fixing this > problem. The HTTP 1.1 authentication would have to be handled by HV when it formulates the HTTP request. There are different forms of HTTP authentication - from my reading they only have a loose connection to the HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 standards. In any case they require far too much resource for inclusion in HV - they don't just send id/password in plain text - they require encoding etc etc. I doubt whether e-mail makes any use of the cache. Maybe it hits a firewall? Maybe, for you, your IT admin people could disable the cache and disable the firewall? :) Maybe MochaPPP itself doesn't work so well on the LAN? I don't know.

Richard and Ian, please think about what you're saying before > you post it. Sigh. Apparently my ironic humor is not as obvious as I thought it was. So, let me explain again. When I said the above, I wasn't being serious. In fact, for the most part I agree with Richard. My point was that it is ridiculous for anybody (except the list owner) to demand that somebody stop doing something because it offends somebody else. If you don't like it, hit the delete key and move on with your life. If you REALLY don't like it, hit the delete key, put that person in your killfile, and THEN move on with your life. Now, notice that I said it's ridiculous for somebody to DEMAND that the list change to suit their whims. ASKING is an entirely different matter. Richard would have gotten much further and prevented this entire thread had he merely said something like "Profanity makes me uncomfortable. Could we please not use it on the list?" rather than wading in with both barrels blazing about how people who use it are unintelligent, uncultured, uneducated ignoramuses who are little better than animals. Had he asked politely, it's almost certain that he would have been listened to immediately and this whole thread would never have come about. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 01:20:58 +0000 Reply-To: Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: Fluff: Re: Offensive language on the list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Are we reaching the point where this OT subject has been discussed ENOUGH ??

I believe the name derived from the fact that Netscape was originally derived from Mosaic, but had become so huge that it was now Mo-ZILLA (a play, of course, on Godzilla). Some time during the 4.x years of Netscape, they decided to release the source code to the browser, minus some proprietary gobbledygook, under their own open-source or open-source-ish license-- I believe called the Netscape Public License. Hackers from all over the globe soon turned it into an even bloatier complete browser than Netscape 4.x was, while doing soe admittedly remarkable things for its ability to render (mangled) pages previously accessable only to Internet Explorer.

Only annoyance is that most of the plot in Wasteland (and Bard's Tale too, IIRC?) was contained in a booklet, partly as a copy protection scheme and partly because of memory restrictions (at least in the 8-bit versions I imagine). This means you either have to take the booklet with you (if you still have it), or run the game under a task switcher and have a file viewer app running as another task (since the booklet can be found as a text file on the net nowadays...)

The > Outlook converter that I did seems to work for both file types. Thanks for replying. Andreas Garzotto's adbio is used to dump/load data to the hp's appointment book. It was initially written for the 100. It works on that platform in both directions. For some reason, it fails quite often on the HP200 in reloading data. Apparently, even Andy Gryc was not sure what caused this failure. There may be some subtle (very subtle) difference in the formats for the 100 and 200. Was wondering if you had ever found anything in your dissections of the data file in your Outlook programming. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 03:29:29 +0000 Reply-To: fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

With John's suggestion of using lxcic (thank you Stefan), that kicked my modems into action. The 3CXM556 works fine and reliably. Connects at 37,333 using a land line and 4,800 (typical around my area) using the cell phone in analog mode. Mr. Kaufman, the cell phone plugs directly (with adaptors) into the LX if using digital service. So in digital territory (can't test tonight), the ST7868W is the modem and connects at 19,200. For the Motorola Montana 33.6 modem, it connects at 38,400 on land line and completes handshaking half the time. However, when I run HV, the most it has responded is receiving 512 bytes. It basically locks up. I've tried setting www from 9,600 to 38,400 with no changes in HV's response. So the Motorola does not appear to work in the LX. Have not tried it with the ST7868W as I don't have the special cable. Both modems get somewhat warm, the 3Com a tad warmer. It does work on batteries. The LX shut down after a few minutes on a set of 1500mAh that have been heavily used for nearly a week. Put a fresh set but have not tested run times.

Pardon the late reply , but I get the list in digest form and usually only read my e-mail once a day. I didn't ask anyone to leave the list, or to stop posting, so I think this kind of response is uncalled-for, and, frankly, rude. Although I believe that the only excuse for rudeness is rudeness, I also believe that "a soft answer turneth away wrath", so I will refrain, and maintain some semblance of maturity and dignity. I was only asking that members not post profanity to the list, and making the observation that to some people, profanity is a manifestation of several weaknesses, including: lack of vocabulary, lack of speaking or writing ability, lack of self-control, laziness, etc., etc. While, at times, a colorful pronouncement might be applicable, such words are typically overused and serve no purpose but to give the speaker something to say, without requiring him or her to think about what he or she is saying. Those words that can be termed "biblical" (like "he11", "d@mn", and "a$$") don't bother me as much and can be ignored. However, such "Eddie Murphy words" as the "f-word" (f*ck) , the "s-word" (sh*t), etc. are patently offensive, vulgar, and obscene. And THOSE are the ones about which I was protesting! I enjoy this list. I have been quite entertained by some of your posts, and have gotten some excellent help here and had the opportunity to help others as well. It has been a very rewarding experience and I do not intend to leave until the list or the HPLX is nonexistent. I will not be forced off this list by those whom I am sorely tempted to refer to as "cretins", but won't because I decided earlier not to be rude and, therefore, will simply refer to as "dissenters". Those list members, dissenters, who don't like me or my opinions are welcome to do so, since I may hold the same feelings regarding you and your opinions; as is our natural right. I only request that you practice some sensitivity, civility and courtesy, and not post profanity to the list. Is that so hard to understand or do? Those who agree with me: I appreciate your support. Al Kind: Is there any policy regarding this? If so, could you post it. If not, could we/you make one? Thanks.

Because this program tries to be self-documenting and to free the users from maintaining more than one files. LXSTAT.COM alone is designed to contain all essential help-messages, examples, and error messages specific to it. I've forgotten to mention something in the first post. Efforts have been made to avoid including the Turbo C floating-point library. One single statement containing e.g. "27.46 * regs.h.al" will result in drastic change in binary size because the compliler will include the whole floating-point facilities. All fractional outputs of a number has been done in LXSTAT by special manipulation using integer arithmetic. This saved ca. 14 Kbytes! In fact, C codes can already be compiled very small. For example, fectching the first instruction pointed to by a far pointer in the interrupt vector table of DOS can hardly be better re-written in assembly than compiled in C using proper pointer manipulation. (Yes, I've tried that and I could not beat the compiler. :) But I'm still very curious what remains redundant in the resulting binary of LXSTAT.COM :) I suspect the Ctrl-C handler for catching the KILL-signal could probably be included in the binary by the compiler. (I'm not sure.) If this would be the case, I would try to get rid of it! And I'm surious what else would the compiler include to my binary ... > As to how you determine what you "absolutely need", more time > spent in the design phase has been known to yield suprising > insights into this matter. Yes, I agree that the design affect the size significantly. I think the design has been fixed though. It allow the users to type e.g. lxstat display mode = lxstat mode (I use goto here!) lxstat off lxstat serial line DTR high lxstat timeout 3 lxstat charge timer 7:30 lxstat battery nicd lxstat litesleep disable lxstat charge enable lxstat typematic lxstat 8254 18,0,2 lxstat IRQ 4 0 lxstat alarm +0:30:0 ... (they are checked by the first letter only) I'm aware that it is a dirty hack of "natural language processing". However, this is still a research issue and adopting any algorithm will surely be huge in size! Or, ... does anyone has a good idea?

Indeed, I face the same problem when connecting at the office. I think = that the problem lies with WWW/LX which might not be HTTP 1.1 compliant. Try using HV and read the error message that is sent back by your office = network proxy. Maybe there is a way for MochaPPP to solve this by sending the required authentication whenever needed but I am no expert in that field.

My trusty 4mb HPLX developed a hinge crack in a very bad way after about 2 years of constant use. Every now and again I would check for a crack, and never saw one. This week I had a very bad crack, and on removing theright hinge cover, saw that the hing itself is starting to suffer damage. So I went to Daniel's hinge crack page, and from ther to Alan Striegel's repair page and decided to glue the crack as well as glue a metal sheet over the crack for support. Having very few tools at home I had to improvise. In order to put pressure on the crack while it was being glued, I jammed it between books in a bookcase and the side of the bookcase, with a coin covering the hinge. This kept the crack closed while the glue was drying. For the metal sheet to cover the flap, I removed the metal catch from a disk drive - the one that covers the disk when the disk is not in use. It is very thin and at the same time strong enough. After 24 hours intraction with epoxy glue, my palmtop is now back inaction. Many thanks to those who have published solutions to hinge crack problems. -- ** David Becher ** davidb@netmedia.net.il davidb@cimatron.co.il ** www.cimatron.co.il ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 16:19:02 +0800 Reply-To: jimmytan@yeos.com.my Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: jimmytan@YEOS.COM.MY Subject: HP 95LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi everybody, An HP 95LX just landed on my lap.

As of today I will continue to use my HP200LX. However I am preparing myself for the swith. POST/LX does not run under PocketDOS but PocketOutlook will allow me to do e-mail. Not as good as POST/LX but it should work (also with the cellphone). PExcel and PWord are OK. I will miss graphs and such goodies as GRAB and FIND/LX. My major concern was with PocketQuicken and PIM/PE. Fortunately PIM/PE exports *.CSV and Outlook imports *.CSV. I have switched from PocketQuicken to Quicken v8 for DOS which runs well on the HP200LX, the laptop and under PocketDOS on my Jornada720. So no problems with converting to a different platform.

Mobile phones are dangerous, aren't > they? I really cannot imagine that the coltages are SO high that they cause data corruptions. But anyway - try to put your phone as far as possible form the LX when connecting to the Internet, so you surely won't get data losses due to the cell phone disturbance. The intensity of the electromagnetic field around the antenna of a mobile pone decreases with the square of the distance.

Much faster. Over the serial line, it is about as fast (slow ;-) ) as over a 56k modem. But well - I mainly use it for email and Roboweb. So it makes no big difference for me if I use serial or ethernet. So I rather use serial, so I don't hae to swap cards and I can access the flash card during the connection is established. > I use a EN2216-1 now and the speed is okey.

But unfortunately, this is not possible for us. The solution would be simple: Simply pass data inside the phone from the IR to Bluetooth and vice versa. No big job, it only had to be programmed into the firmware of the phone. The people at Ericsson had to be convinced to implement that. This would be an ideal solution for printing over Bluetooth, or connecting to another computer. Well, no: The only program which can do IrDA on the palmtop is WWW/LX. And WWW/LX cannot print or transfer files easily (Only via FTP or HTTP). So This would not be really useful for us. But exactly this kind of ideas is necessary to make things possible which noone has ever thought of before. Firmware programmers whould ask people like you what is missing in their products.
