Figure you'll need about 420KB of disk space for the Software Carousel software installation, plus an amount derived from however much memory space you need for your work areas. E.g. I have six work areas, each 552KB, and my swap file takes up 3162112 bytes, which is about 200KB less than 552KB * 6. You can set the sizes of the work areas, so if e.g. you know that some of your apps would be happy on a system with 256KB RAM you could run them in smaller work areas and thus save on swap file space. You can also run SC using EMS swap if you have a an EMS driver for your additional memory.

I know that if you use a speaker with a much lower impedance than the built-in speaker, the sound is much louder. That's one way around it.

More like because on AC the palmtop's cpu does not go to sleep (light sleep). This is the "sleep" mode that palmtops use in between activities that require their attention. This type of sleep is built in to preserve battery. In fact, the cpu does not run faster, but you do not experience the time it takes to crank up to speed. This is a tiny amount of time, but it accumulates. I believe the cpu will check this every 1/18th of a second, so that is probably the amount of time you save when on AC, and if you apply it to almost every letter you type it can really be noticeable. I suppose what I am trying to say is that the chip runs at the same speed, but the machine is more responsive. My notebook has a very short time setup to quiesce the disk (I don't like the sound...) and when I do something it takes the disk some significant time to rev up to full speed. This is similar, but for the chip, and of course the timeframes are much shorter on the palmtop. You can set up light sleep so it will not happen, but I would recommend against it, because it REALLY increases the consumption of the power from the battery. Hope this helps... Avi M.

I was running SC from a 1.6MB disk swap file and would have about 600KB or so worth of disk space left after swapping to another work area. But after installing EMS (Trimm) with 1.6MB of dedicate EMS and no disk space used as storage per. SC's setup. I would have 1.05MB worth of disk space left, instead of 600KB plus the swapping is much faster. Also before I installed EMS I was unable to open a file in PE while installed under POST/LX as a external program. PE would run alright. But if I tried to use ÝOpen¨ (pick.exe) I'd get: "Not enough memory to run external program". But with EMS installed it work just fine. So go figure. Regards, Qman...

Any opinions? John: Output volume from a speaker is proportional to input power. Increasing the voltage with a transformer will not increase the power to the speaker, just the voltage. The available current to the speaker would be reduced so as to preserve the power. The only way I know to increase the volume would be to actually increase the power to the speaker, which would require some kind of amplifier circuit (were you perhaps suggesting a magnetic amplifier rather than a transformer?), which in turn requires more power from the batteries, something we try to avoid with these small computers. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

To be more precise, the palmtop enters light sleep if it is running on batteries *AND* if keystrokes are intercepted by an INT16 interrupt, which is done in almost every program. NOTE: The code to enter light sleep is embedded in the INT16 interupt service routine of the palmtop. Usually this is no problem, because most programs are constantly waiting for keystrokes and do a little work after receiving a new keystroke and then are again waiting. So you will never remark the light sleep in between keystrokes. However if a program constantly does something you can see, like a game or LXPIC in video mode, then you can 'see' the light sleep as a slower graphic performance. If you don't want your program to behave like that, you may not use INT16 to intercept keystrokes, but you have to select a different way like checking the keyboard buffer 'by hand' for a new key. I did that in LXPIC. Therefore LXPIC runs at the same speed with or without the adapter plugged in.

However, the modem didn't come with a definitive spec sheet and so the issue of power consumption was always in question. Thanks to Dennis, another poster with the same hardware as I, who's found a spec sheet buried in the flash upgrade file downloaded for the modem from the Xircom website, and the figure is 283mA, typical at 5v!

Anyone who wants to try this modem in their LX should do so only with the greatest caution, and be prepared for smoke and flames. I can't explain why my 2x/6mb LX seems to handle this modem well, but it could be that the 28k connects and downloads haven't reached "typical" download levels yet, and that a catatrophe awaits me around the corner.

If they are, my experience with Renewal brand will be applicable. Renewal brand rechargable alkaline's have about half the capacity of a cheap NiCd or NiMH. That capacity grows even smaller with each charge/discharge cycle. After fewer than 50 cycles, they're useless. Craig Honey asked: > Documentation with batteries states must use charger specifically for > rechargable alkalines - I guess this will then present a problem in use > in 200LX? - Do anyone know? I haven't had time to dig into the technical pages at BTI's site, but I did once study over the data at Ray-O-Vac's site: http://www.rayovac.com/oem/renew.html I recall that the special charger is essential, since it operates by applying short pulses of current, followed by checks of battery condition (especially temperature). There is no way I would try charging Renewals in a 200LX. Given the delicacy of the battery cover latch, any battery that can't be charged internally is out of the running. The one application I've found for Renewal is in portable radios that spend more time stored than in use. The lower voltage and rapid self-discharge rate of NiCd and NiMH made them unsuitable for this application, and I was stuck using alkalines. Here Renewal has made sense, operationally and financially. -Jim. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 08:18:39 -0800 Reply-To: zot2u@earthlink.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: zot2u Subject: FS: 6meg HP200LX, acces., Libretto access, & Prolinear 386 palmtop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit $400 HP200L 6meg palmtop Many accessories available for the HP200LX: 170meg HD (with pcmcia adaptor) $150 quan. 1 130meg HD (with pcmcia adaptor) $125 quan. 1 buy both harddrives for $225 quan. 1 Megahertz xjack 28.8K pcmcia modem $50 quan. 5 3Com xjack 56K pcmcia modem $80 quan. 5 A/C adaptor HP original $35 quan. 2 Serial cables $35 quan. 20 Serial cables + Puma Intelsync. $40 quan. 20 Serial cable with Ethernet plug $10 quan. 5 Light clip $25 quan. 1 Backlight kit $100 quan. 10 leather cases & bags $10-100 quan. 10 Portable 3.2gig pcmcia HD for Libretto $275 quant 1 Large Full Size keyboard for Libretto $75 quan. 5 Prolinear 386 palmbook with CGA driver for Windows 3.1 $500 quan. 1 ...this is a perfect replacement for the HP200lx ...no more carrrying around the Newton keyboard (built-in) ...no more trying to adapt for a RS-232 or PB25 port (these are built-in) ...no more buying an a/c adaptor (included) ...no need to get more ram (4meg ram standard) ...no need trying to get a double slot card adaptor (this has 2 pcmcia slots) ...no need to buy a carrying case (included) ...runs DOS just like the HP200LX ...runs HP200LX applications if you get Palrun LASTLY So.

You may not like my advice, it can be expensive to implement! Buy as much memory as you can afford. I'm spoiled rotten, I have a 32MB upgrade (from Times2Tech). Buy some flash cards too. Not only do they make convenient backup storage for your valuable data in the palmtop, if you also have a desktop or notebook with PCMCIA slots they can be convenient for software installation too. E.g. for Software Carousel I copied the installation diskette to a directory on a flash card using my notebook PC, inserted the flash card in the palmtop, and ran the installation on the palmtop from the files on the flash card. Much easier than fussing with Interlnk/Intersvr. TAKE A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING SC! It wants to run a "disk optimizer" so it will be able to allocate its swap file from contiguous space (not sure why this matters on the palmtop where the swap file isn't on rotating rust but oh well). I had no problems with this but it is better to be safe than sorry. All that said, I don't mind if you cc: me to get my attention but you should probably post to the list, where you will get the attention of many folks.

Of course if you just Actually, one of the best things that a 28.8 and above modem gives you over a 14.4 is improved retraining. From my experiance, phone problems (such as your wife picking up the phone) tend to lock up a 14.4. You have no choice but yell at her while you redial . With a 28.8 and above, the modem will usually recover after she hangs up the phone and yells back "well how the h*ll was I supposed to know you're on the computer!"

Well, I've download at 96KBps (that's kilobytes, not kilobits) during an 800K download, via the Accton EN2216-2 ethernet card... perhaps there's some fundamental difference that prevents a PCMCIA modem from getting that fast, but it should at least be possible... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 18:17:21 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: FS: Pocket Modem I have the following for sale: Microcom TravelPorte MNP Class 10 Pocket Modem It's a 14.4 data/fax modem that is a tad larger than a pack of cigarettes and will run off a internal 9 volt battery or with the supplied AC adapter.

They work differently as far as interrupts and onboard buffering are concerned. It wasn't until the 16550 type uarts started being used that you could go much over 19.2k on any intel box because of interrupt latency. Even with a 16 byte buffer on a 16550 uart the interrupts come pretty fast at 56k, something like an interrupt every 3ms which doesn't leave much time for processing. Pete Peter W.

I wasn't dredging around for a 56k modem for the LX, but thought to mention this experience with the Xircom only because another poster had been casting for 56k experiences. At 283mA of current however (per the spec), this modem may be too hot for the LX to handle anyway.

That is, I'd have to be actually dialling in to a service that provides a 56k connect, and I never verified that I had done this. Further, the firmware revision on the flash for the modem was out of date (1.49 vs the current level of 2.0x), and I haven't figured out how to do the upgrade yet (the upgrade procedure locks up my Win95 machine). There's a real possibility that I'll just be giving this 56k modem to my son anyway (and keeping my SimpleTech 33.6k), so I'm not sure how much time I'd like to commit to upgrading and testing a modem that (on paper at least) is incompatible with the LX's power requirements. - Longden "Peter W.

If I understand correctly there is some question of how fast a connection the hp200lx can sustain, even with the double speed crystal. I see you are testing a 56K modem but you connected at 28.8K. Has anyone actually connected and transfered a file at anything over 40K on an hp200lx? If not isn't the idea of finding a 56k modem that works rather silly. Of course if you just want something to share with another computer then that makes sense. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 18:24:05 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: 56k Xircom Modem Comments: To: Steven Lawson Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii FWIW, I think I mentioned that midway thru one of my download tests (using the 56k modem, but with a 28k connect), I got the "battery low" message (I had started the test when the batteries were at 2.38v), but after pressing ESC, the download continued.

Of course if you just Actually, one of the best things that a 28.8 and above modem gives you over a 14.4 is improved retraining. From my experiance, phone problems (such as your wife picking up the phone) tend to lock up a 14.4. You have no choice but yell at her while you redial . With a 28.8 and above, the modem will usually recover after she hangs up the phone and yells back "well how the h*ll was I supposed to know you're on the computer!" Now, I don't know how well a 56k retrains since I've never actually gotten better than a 28.8 connection here in the middle of the woods.. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 20:25:12 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ted Heise Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ted Heise Subject: Re: Screen Driver for WP 5.1 In-Reply-To: <27C2A34636D@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Mon, 1 Feb 1999, Peter W.

The display mode that works on my 200LX is Graphics Screen Type set to "CGA 640X200 2 color" (obtained by selecting IBM CGA) and Text Screen Type set to "Auto Selected". Peter is essentially correct, but it *is* possible to select screen attributes in the setup (Shift-F1) under Display to represent bold, underline, and other formatting with various combinations of greys, highlights, and reversed video. The graphics preview mode works, but just barely on the 200LX. I don't find it worth using very often.

The included files will allow you to (some of the time) boot minix from the RAM disk or flash disk of the palmtop. BACKGROUND sometime in 1998, the information on how to boot minix on the palmtop was posted on the web at www.erols.com/rld/ The method mentioned was very compilated, involving reformatting a flash card under linux, installing minix on it, and using special software to boot it. With the release of minix version 2.0.2, Minix now has support for using a large DOS file as a 'virtual' hard disk. It also is supplied with a program that will boot Minix from the MSDOS prompt. To get this new version to its current state has taken less than a day, showing that it is realtively easy with the new version of minix. There are still some problems, however, that appear to be identical to those mentioned at www.erols.com/rld Often the palmtop will lock-up part way though booting, and at best only one or two commands can be executed before it crashes. This seems to be somehow related to special interrupts on the palmtop, and can probably be fixed. INSTALLATION Now for the fun part! To run minix on the palmtop, you will need about 1.5Mb free space on your ram disk or a flash card. Simply coppy the included files to a directory, and type BOOT DISK.NEW to start minix. You should have as much RAM as possible allocated to system RAM (this can be changed in the setup program in System Manager) and if possible, no drivers loaded in your config.sys or autoexec.bat file (I found that the Times2Tech speed driver interferes with minix) OTHER That's about it, so far. I've only used minix information from http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/2.0.2/index.html to get this up and running. Anyone who would like to experiment a bit more can get all necessary files from here. If you would like any further information, please email me: tpitman@southcom.com.au Good Luck!

I have currently whittled the kernel down by 1/3 and got rid of all the protected mode stuff to clean up the code for debugging. No matter what I try so far in version 2.0.2 it still has the same crashes. I will probably figure it out given enough time.

Any opinions? John: Output volume from a speaker is proportional to input power. Increasing the voltage with a transformer will not increase the power to the speaker, just the voltage. The available current to the speaker would be reduced so as to preserve the power. The only way I know to increase the volume would be to actually increase the power to the speaker, which would require some kind of amplifier circuit (were you perhaps suggesting a magnetic amplifier rather than a transformer?), which in turn requires more power from the batteries, something we try to avoid with these small computers. -Chris Lott ------------------------------ Chris Do you think the speaker circuit is as perfectly matched as that? If I increase the potential across the speaker won't it cause the circuit to use more current as long as the battery can supply it and the chip driving the circuit can stand it? It probably only uses a milliamp now doubling it it would be 2 milliamps. I orginally thought of just tapping the batteries but that would create a constant drain at the speaker unless I could turn it off somehow but it would increase the IE going to the speaker. A logic on/off switch/amplifier to increase the gain, there's 18 volts at the video, wouldn't be that hard to build maybe amplifier gate upping the gain to 10 or so and use the + speaker as one input and the other coming from the video but then I would have to build some sort of board instead of just glueing on a transformer:-). And solder in a couple of wires to the board. (and would there be timing problems then??). Or use an op amp and try to increase the gain. Problem with both is powering the circuit. I thought a 2:1 step-up transformer would do pretty much the same thing as a magnetic thingy (don't know if I could find one small enough) for the small amount of volume needed since the coils would have a tendency to store power plus without an external tap the power management would stay the same since the speaker would still operate according to the built-in circuit--it would only use power when the speaker circuit is on. And if its too loud put in a limiting resistor. Probably sound wierd though.

I know that if you use a speaker with a much lower impedance than the built-in speaker, the sound is much louder. That's one way around it. (Of course, that most likely requires using an external speaker...) __________________________________________ I thought about that but I don't want to use an external speaker and have no idea where a speaker that size could be found ith half the impeadence.

Thanks also from me! Maybe you remeber I posted a message a few days or weeks ago: "my palmtop slows down if playing sound...". That's the solution: When running with AC adaptor, it worked fine, but then I ran the same app. with batteries - and it was very slow.

John: Obviously you've given this more thought than I, and may even have the advantage of a ciruit diagram of the existing amplifier circuit. It is true, that if the original circuit has enough reserve power capacity, and if you can deal with the impedance matching issues, that you could utilize a transformer in the manner you described in your original post. I've read in previous posts on this topic that the built-in speaker is 4 ohms. I would like to know what the audio driver transistor or chip is (exact part number) and perhaps see a schematic before I would want to comment further.

If you carry on with the way @date works in years prior to 2000, you will find that it continues to work until the year 2100, when it does indeed break. @date expects to be passed three integer parameters for the year,month,and day in question and returns an integer, which is the number of days since 1/1/1900. The month and day parameters works just as you might expect; the year parameter works in a somewhat non-standard way, certainly not Y2K compliant, but logical nonetheless. The year 2000 should be keyed in as 100, 2001 as 101, etc... and the function returns an error only when you reach the year 2100 (key as 200). Ah well, I guess I'd expect from LOTUS nothing less than yet another entirely logical way to represent a date, and confuse us in the process.

I installed it there a long time ago, trimming the files to a minimum (see list below) and it works just fine. However when I start it up, the early boot screen shows (with WP5.1 box in the middle) and it seems to stay "stuck" there, until I press F1 (cancel) twice. Then it opens up normally and is ready to go. I now clisk F1 automatically at that point, but wonder why it does that on the HP. It is as if it was waiting for something or a file and wont continue till I tell it to forget about it by pressing F1. Do others have the same problem? What could be the problem?

Another problem I have is that if the palmtop times out in WP51, or if I turn it off in there, often it will not turn back on-- I push ON, the screen flashes on for an instant, and then it shuts back off. I have to ctrl-shift-on to get out. WP51 is fantastic, it just has a few little things that could be improved. Anybody volunteer to write a TSR to fix it all?

All you have to remember is the year parameter is an integer starting with zero referring to 1900, 1 maps to 1901, 2 for 1902...99 for 1999, 100 for 2000, 101 for 2001 ... 199 for 2099. Incidentally, @date gets an "A" for knowing that next year is a leap year, but it gets an "F" for erroneously making 1900 a leap year. This would make the count of days since 1900 off by one.

Simply press S on that message, and the S toggle will go out. Also try pressing F1 (you know, the Help :) ...) and then search for Send. The second occurence gave me the meaning of the S being the send toggle. You can also press Shift F1 and try topic 4 for example, the List view... Quite instructive. The operative word is "toggle".

John: Obviously you've given this more thought than I, and may even have the advantage of a ciruit diagram of the existing amplifier circuit. It is true, that if the original circuit has enough reserve power capacity, and if you can deal with the impedance matching issues, that you could utilize a transformer in the manner you described in your original post. I've read in previous posts on this topic that the built-in speaker is 4 ohms. I would like to know what the audio driver transistor or chip is (exact part number) and perhaps see a schematic before I would want to comment further.

Well, actually, I wired in an external jack and plugged a pair of headphones (or an external speaker) in there.

As a previous owner of the 95lx & 100lx - I was gutted to discover that the IR shareware utility "Remote Commander" - doesnt work on the 200lx. Especially since I had learned the setup of several now dead remotes, on my previous PDA - and was even considering IR window blinds - is there any IR S/W for the 200lx worth investigating ? 2. My 5Mb(doubled to 10Mb) PCMCIA has a subdirectory on it (\DATA) which is garbage (any access causes DISK ERROR). The remainder of the disk has been works fine - for 2years now (lowering the urgency). Since this is the boot disk - how do I best sort this out - re-initialise it? It was shipped already doubled - so Im unsure what S/W to move to C: beofre wiping the disk (if that is the best action) - can you advise ? 3. Has anyone any views on the HP200lx Back-light upgrades ? I must confess this has always been one of my HP bitches and looks interesting! Michael. PS : Has anyone noticed that duracell batteries will recharge in the HP200lx while on deskpower? I know this is probably bad - but my AA last up to 6months before needing to be changed (when they drain completely) - it makes all the PSION & Palmpilot users I work with green with envy ? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 04:34:50 PST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , al chin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: al chin Subject: chinese fluff Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Roger do you have twin bridge? win98 (chinese ver)? where are you?

This basically means that you are trying to run INSTEMM from System Manager and not giving it enough memory to complete the task. It is always better to run INSTEMM straight from DOS outside of System Manager. Check what version you are using also as it should be version 1.3 of the INSTEMM program and version 1.4b of the TREMM.EXE driver.

I get some "pips" which goes like this pip pip pip (Last one higher than the others) and it does not launch the application. Only application that will start (which are in the moreexm.ini) are Pocket Launcher and it "clear" the screen this time when it launches.. Have any other experienced this problem. I use Moreexm, mml, Pocket Launcher, Exkey to redirect the Alt+Menu too ALT+F9 for the 123G and Tesklist. Can anyone help me?

I have already determined what interrupts are being used and what routines they are calling, but it is still taking time to figure out what is wrong. I have stabilized the keyboard input up to a certain point thru the boot process by messing with the keyboard interrupt, but it still looks like some more tweaking is necessary.

I have previously asked how my phone database could have been screwed up. I have now finally tracked that problem down to another problem with the notepad database. At times my notes database gives me an error of "insufficient memory" when I enter the note itself by F3. I hit return to acknowledge the error message and the note is left displayed but with tons of screwy symbols all over it. I can not edit it any at this point. If I either hit F10 to exit the note or reboot the machine directly at that time, the results are the same. My note database is fine, but if I had my phone database open at the time of the error, it is screwed up and unrecoverable as a clean file. I can still get into my phone database to read it, but it is screwed up. I know that I have enough memory at the time as from the applications manager (&...) I still show 301k of memory still available with the note and the phone databases open. I do not remember if I have had the "insufficient memory" message in the notes without the phone open. I will make note of any more of the errors for that info. Does anybody know what causes the insufficient memory error in the note database when I have plenty? I also have plenty on the drive space.

I think you are right, because If I start win 3.11 after starting the net (c:>net start), I receive an error message telling me I will not be able to share any date (even you can access to the share of another computer).

That died; but Unix-on-LX resurrected by now. I would like to tell that Richard Dubs, who first reported about Minix crash on LX is still working on MinixLx, with the same new version 2.0.2, that Mack uses. Let me tell you a few words about Minix: It was written by A. S. Tanenbaum, a famed computer OS & network theorist from Netherlands. It is recently maintained by his staff at Vrije Univ. Minix is an implementation of Posix, available in 16-bit 32-bit and 32-bit virtual mem. build. 16-bit/tiny is for the LX. The 32-bit Minix was used as early cross-compiler platform for Linux by Linux Thorvalds. Regular use of Minix is class courses held using the book "OS design and Implementation" by AST; this book deals with Minix source course and basic OS ideas. Minix OS copyright is held by Prentice-Hall, but it is free for educational use, can get it right from . The 2.0.2 version of Minix, that Mack and others have mentioned is a minor update, that hosts a "cheat mode" to use keep using Int21h DOS interrupt instead of Minix BIOS harddisk driver, thus enabling Minix to run from Win95 V86 box; as originally intended. It is also easier to install on 200LX, then regular ver. 2.0.0. Richard Dubs sent me these two emails about his recent experiences with the newer version of Minix v2.0.2. I quote them here. This newer version is very well suited for the HPLX, but the unsolved crash problem is still there. Cause is now suspected to be use of FlashDisk/PCMCIA driver. So memdisk may help. My previous effort for recruiting volunteers failed, as there was now way to simplify the first kind of very complicated install process. With new Minix version this has changed. If you have a 8/32/64 MB machine, you can try out Minix with much less pain, all to do is written in Mail#1, Paragraph#1. And see, if running from a T2T memory disk eliminates crash, or 100LX/700LX/1000CX version behave different, than 200LX. If this DOS-under-the-hood version can be fixed to work reliably on the HPLXes, then regular Minix with flashcard must be possible to patch, too. Then that will open the way for 4-7 other native OSes for the palmtop; so it enter the next century on a rock solid open multi-OS basis, perpetuating its value to all power users.

So memdisk may help. Unfortunately I don't think that is the problem since I have been testing it on a 64MB palmtop and there is no change except for some tweaking I have been doing to the code. It is still unstable and I might try to find that book you referred to so I can get a better grasp of the overall concept and how it task switches. I am working on some ideas for debugging it, so it could take a while. There will be a lot of specialized work to be done to the kernel to support the palmtop directly such as the keyboard, the low power state during idle, the on key, and the timeout process. Most of those items don't work at all with the exception of the keyboard which mostly works.

(Note: Corrects prices.) Hewlett-Packard Co. ÝNYSE:HWP¨ has chopped up to 25 percent from the price of its OmniBook notebook PCs, and up to 66 percent from OmniBook accessories like extra batteries, DVD (digital versatile disk) drives, and port replicators. Laura Demmons, HP product marketing manager for the mobile computing division, said the firm's price strategy is "in response to changes in the marketplace to offer notebook PCs at the best possible price." "These notebooks are mainly for corporate users," a spokesperson told Newsbytes. "They include features designed for corporate system administrators like manageability and security solutions." She said two featured models showed the "most significant price cuts," but the firm also reduced prices about 16 percent on other OmniBooks. The price cuts are partly in anticipation of new model introductions to follow, according to another HP source. HP's OmniBook 7100 notebook PC got the full 25 percent cut. It is designed to replace a mobile user's desktop PC and has an Intel Pentium II 266 megahertz (MHz) processor, an 8.1 gigabyte (GB) hard drive, 32 megabyte (MB) memory, a 14.1-inch XGA thin film transistor (TFT) display and a standard CD-ROM and floppy combination module. The cut brings the 7100's price from $3,999 down to $3,199. The OmniBook 4150, a slim-line expandable notebook PC, has Intel's Pentium II 300MHz processor, a 6.4GB hard drive, 64MB of memory, a 14.1-inch XGA TFT display and 24X CD-ROM drive. The price for a 4150 has dropped 17 percent from about $3,976 to about $3,399. The firm cut 66 percent off the price of nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are designed to slide into the systems' removable devices bays. The battery is now $45. A removable 2X DVD drive module will sell for $175, down 60 percent. A port replicator, which gives users extra ports for peripherals, has been cut 44 percent to about $55. The spokesperson said the optional components all work across the OmniBook line. HP has a site on the World Wide Web at http://www.hp.com .

I've fired off a message to dasoft. As a beta tester, do you have any debug capabilities to see what could be happening? I wonder if it's related to my ISP's mapping of this domain name to their own actual URL. The faith.presby.org actually points to ro.com/~fpc, although I don't know exactly what mechanism they use to perform the mapping. Also, the following URLs also map to the above location: faith.presby.org/fpc ro.com/fpc Again, I don't understand the mechanism that's used. We started off with the faith.presby.org/fpc, and were told that was the best they could do. After about a year, and registering with many search engines, they told us that it was no problem to do just faith.presby.org, without the /fpc. Unfortunately, many of the search engines linked our entry to the *resolved* URL, ro.com/fpc, so when they made the new update, we had to end up with all these confusing (to me) different mappings. This might be related to the problem, although I've never ran into a browser yet that coughed up on our URL. Any insight or education would be appreciated. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

The advantage is not having yet another piece of hardware (the dongle) to lug around during your mobile computing experience. The XJack series had a pop-out which would allow you to plug the phone line connector directly to the card.

Dunno about the Greenwich convertor, but the BSE S-P convertor I use needs to be fed 9600 baud. If you're using any DOS comm software, you'll need to reset COM1 to 9600 from whatever the comm stuff uses. mode com1:96,n,8,1,p should do the trick. I have to do this for all DOS software that prints. Launch from a batch file that includes the mode command... Doesn't help much for the built-in 123 though --- Check in SETUP to make sure "COM1 Power in DOS" is turned on! No problems here printing from 123.

I've fired off a message to dasoft.> I just had a similar problem trying to download the Bible modules that Tom Hoover has at his web site that his "HisWord" program uses. When I tried to download either of the Bible modules, at his site, using WWW/LX (the latest version) from my LX, I would get some strange errors. I would either get a "Login denied" message, or the download would start, and then lock up in the middle of the down load. I was able to go directly to The Online Bible company's web site and download those modules. I have never had a file yet, that I could not download using WWW/LX from my LX. I emailed Tom Hoover and notified him of my downloading problems. He emailed me back and told me that he downloaded the files from his web site, without any problems. I emailed him again and asked if he tried the download using his LX. He said he didn't, because he doesn't own a copy of WWW/LX. I forwarded this problem to Avi @ D&A to see if he had the time to look into it. I am still awaiting his reply. I don't know if these two issues are related, but I thought I would share them with you. Tom Hoover's web site is at: www.pobox.com/~thoover. If anyone wants the "Hisword" program, it is awesome. He took the DOS version of the Online Bible program, that does not work correctly on the LX, and wrote a system manager program called "HisWord". It works great on the LX. Both the KJV & NIV version Bibles fits on my flash card in less than 6 meg. I had to send away to the Online Bible company for the NIV version because it is still copyright protected, the dual KJV & NIV modules only cost $22.00, and they still sell it.

Before us serious Unix bigots can really just run Minix and nothing else on our palmtop, we'll need to divise some PIM software. I've been pondering that one.... _____________________ Why not port the Lotus PIM software over. > How does it use memory--does it need more than 640k? Do you need to have > expanded or extended memory? It uses memory pretty sparsely. I don't know the OS overhead requirement, but it'll run fine in 640K or somewhat less. I don't know whether any of the funky expanded memory systems are useable with it. While it's been a long time since I've really looked at it closely, I'm pretty sure it supports swapping. It manages memory by mandating (enforced by the compiler) that all programs run in "small memory model" --- 64KB code plus 64KB data, or less. Like V7 on a PDP-11. This lets it use the 8086's segmentation registers for memory management, relocating running programs on the fly as needed. ___________________________ It uses memory sort of like System Manager complient programs then. > Can you run dos programs like you can in OS/2? Nope. In theory I suppose one could come up with a dos emulator that serviced DOS syscalls (interrupts), and teach it about a new executable type, and add limited, fragile support for .com files. AFAIK this hasn't been done. Probably never get working support for EXEs. ______________________________ Kind of reminds me of OS/2. OS/2 doesn't have a lot of end user apps either (one of the problems) but its great the way it handles dos apps--makes up for the lack of OS/2 applications. Any body know if there's a version that will run on a 186?

Two ways: 1. Create a new folder (call it Archive) and make sure it is on drive A: somewhere. Then mark all the messages you want to move to this archive, then SHIFT-F9 Move, and select Marked. Then you can zip the Archive file on A. 2. I simply created the archive on A (I have a 160MB drive) and whatever I want to save there I move to it. It is gone from C: (after packing of course).

Christopher Lott" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "R. Christopher Lott" Subject: WWWLX and Ethernet - WORKING! Content-Type: text I have finally gotten my WWW/LX and Acton ethernet card to work! I have no idea what went wrong earlier. I did catch myself (once, only) running WWW on top of an existing WWW. That was clearly a no-no. Anyway, I've used it several times since then, and I've been happy. I transferred some e-mail archives to my POST folders using a nifty technique I've developed, but never used extensively because of the slow phone line connections. But today I sent over a fairly good sized archive 100+ messages. I'll be trying larger ones tomorrow. Here's what I did. This requires some UNIX expertise. I will be intentionally vague about the steps - if you know UNIX will enough, you'll be able to follow me. If you don't, I'm not sure I want to be responsible for accidentally mis-typing a step and you losing all your important mail messages! If you can't follow these steps, get some help from someone who can. Just for use with POST, I've created a soft link in my shell account mail folder directory (~/Mail for me, I use elm). This soft link links my system inbox to a folder named "in". Using my mail reader, elm, I can see the name of my system inbox on the screen header information. Once I have this link, I can save any one or more mail messages to the "in" folder, and then they are treated just like new incoming mail. All the original headers are still intact (unlike if I forwarded them!). Note, on my system soft link is necessary - cannot do a hard linke because the system incoming mail folders are stored on a different file system that's just mounted on the user device. Hardlinks cannot span file systems, at least on the Linux server my ISP uses. Then I go to my palmtop and connect using WWW/LX and ethernet, and download all the messages. In my case today, all of them were immediately directed to a particular folder by POST by use of an entry in the Ýfilter¨ section of POST.CFG. Worked like a champ. Maybe this is an obvious technique, but it took me awhile to realize this was possible, and I could effectively transfer mail messages from my shell account to POST without losing the vital header information. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

In Lotus I use the following setup in /worksheet/global/default/printer these are my setting: margins left 4 right 80 top 0 bottom 0 interface 2 serial 1 (I thought that it defaulted to parallel 1) name: system printer setup string: \027\069 (this resets my HP printers to the top of the page. Without this, the next page starts printing a few lines down, and the next line a few more) page length 66 ÝX¨ send line feeds baud rate H 9600 delay 1 Make sure after you make any changes, you quit once, and then update, otherwise your changes will not be saved. Also I think that your changes will not be made to existing spreadsheets that have already been saved. Go check the settings of each spreadsheet that you want to print to make sure they agree with the setting changes you just made above. Also here is what I have in my autoexec.bat file so that I can print from a DOS program, with my Belkin serial-to-parallel converted cable. Autoexec.bat mode com1:9600,n,8,1,r mode lpt1:=3Dcom1 It seems crazy, all the printer outputs from the LPT1 are converted to the serial port, ran through a external converter that converts it back to a parallel signal, that ends up at my printer, but it works! I have to use the HP connectivity cable to plug into the LX, and then I plug the Belkin cable into the HP cable, then I plug the Belkin cable into my printer. I thought I would be nice to just have one cable, instead of two, like the Greenwich cable. I called Greenwich to inquire about their cable. I spoke with their tech supt department and told them that I was using a 200LX, and that I wanted to print not only from inside of system manager, but also from outside of system manager from a DOS based program. They told me that their cable would do what I needed. I purchased the cable directly from them. I could not get the printer to print from my DOS based accounting program that I was using to run my small business. I contacted Greenwich's tech supt and told them about the problem. I was told that their cable would not print from DOS. They apologized for misleading me into buying one, and gave me a RMA number to return it. If I remember correctly, it would also not print from Lotus for some reason, but I won't swear to it, it was a while ago. I hope this helps.

I got the LXSTAT program from the SUPER site and call it during the autoexec: LXSTAT N and this forces the NiCad setting. LXSTAT is a utility that does a host of LX related settings (displaying them and setting them)....very useful for automating some things. Often when my battery settings go awry, my contrast gets mucked up too... so my autoexec actually has: LXSTAT N d c 22 and this not only forces NiCad, but sets the Display Contrast to "22" which is about normal. I'm not a Buddy user...but I'm surprised it doesn't do some of the same things.

Glad you can print using the Belkin. I still can't understand why the Greenwich S-P cable shouldn't work in DOS. My BSE S-P convertor is a small (about the size of a printer connector hood) line-powered device, that attaches to the end of the HP cable. It couldn't care less about whether i'm printing from the PIMs, 123, or DOS apps, as long as it gets fed 9600 bps... I've been using it for about 5 years now with no problem (with both a 100LX and 200LX). The only screw-up with printing from DOS has been after using communications software that uses a different baud rate. It needs to be reset to 9600 before using DOS progs to print. I launch them using a batch file that includes: mode com1:96,n,8,1,p Then everything works fine. Never had a problem with 123 (This is also in autoexec.bat along with mode lpt1=3Dcom1) -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 10:20:52 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hplx Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hplx Subject: Re: Trying to register Tiles Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" New games, bottom of files page. --- comports.com/hplx ---- http://fly.to/hplx <--old stuff is new... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 10:28:06 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Paul Lusardi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paul Lusardi Organization: MBTA Subject: Even a blind horse finds water once in a while....

The palmtop uses X-ON - X-OFF software handshaking for printing. I think some programs (maybe the built-in 123) expect to receive X-ON before starting. If the printer is already powered up and online when you start the program, the S-P convertor won't send the initial X-ON character. You might need to put the printer offline (sends X-OFF), then back online again to start. I leave the printer offline until ready to print.

They're metal, circular, with the inner section being about 50% of the diameter. They don't 'move', they vibrate. I believe they are capable of putting out a greater volume with more clairity for their volume (cm¬3) than anything else, thus they are used when a 'loud' volume (dB) in a small volume (cm¬3) is required. :) Loud, meaning a tiny little speaker like cellphones have can't quite match the output of a peizo, but that might have changed.

No problems here printing > from 123. > > HTH > > -Peniel Hi, Here is a correction to my earlier reply. A co-worker of mine pointed out the the mode command in my autoexec.bat file, did not allow him to redirect the screen output to the printer when at the DOS prompt he typed: "dir>prn". The screen would just sit there with the cursor flashing. I tried this and got the same thing. I swear to you that I ran a DOS based accounting program from my LX for almost two years, using these mode commands in my autoexec.bat file, and I never had problems printing anything from that program. I have just started using PE from D&A a few months back, and noticed that I could not print from PE. I never got around to figuring out why. So I decided to call HP tech support for the LX today, and picked their minds. I was told that I had to change the mode command that I had in my autoexec.bat file from: mode lpt1:=3Dcom1 to: mode lpt1:,,p I made the recommended changes. Now I can redirect the screen output to the printer, and print from PE (now a great program, that I use just got better! Hint Hint Avi!) The only drawback with redirecting the screen output to the printer, by typing at the DOS prompt: dir>prn, is that my HP Laserjet5L's just sit there after receiving the data. I have to press the button on the front of the printer to get the printer to start printing. I looked in my HP Laserjet's manual and found a statement that said "If the data (middle) light & the ready (bottom) light both remain on, there is unprinted data in the printer. This usually happens when you perform a "print screen" function in DOS or use software that does not send an "end-of-job" or "form feed" command when it finishes printing a file." I also noticed that in the back of my printer manual under configuring the printer port, there is a mode statement: "For MS-DOS versions 4.0 and later, add this command: mode lpt1:,,b For earlier versions of MS-DOS, add this command: mode lpt1:,,p I decided to call HP printer support to find out if there is some way of configuring something so that a form feed gets added after a dir>prn command gets issued, and to ask about the mode difference lpt1,,b & lpt1,,p. I was told there was no way to automatically send a form feed after the dir>prn command, and to use the lpt1,,b mode command, because I was using DOS 5.0 on the LX. I changed the mode command to: mode lpt1,,b, and I don't see any difference between the two, so I took the manuals advice, and used the "b" in the command. Sorry if I misled you, I think this will set it straight.

The HP is more versitle with its PCMCIA card slot, IBM compatibility, 80x25 screen suited for wordprocessing / online etc., while the Palm is easier to use, small enough for places even an HP cant be placed, is VERY actively supported by 3rd party software, and is vastly superior in connectivity (Hotsync) to a desktop machine. It all depends on what you want to use it for, if addresses, email, syncing with a desktop, a pen interface for drawing, etc. are your primary concerns the Palm wins due to these features and its small size, but if you need to run DOS software, telnet or other terminal applications, like a keyboard over a pen, etc. then the HP is the definite winner.

Could it be possible to use both a Palm and an HP in concert? The idea is as follows, your HP stays in your pocket and you hold the PP in your hand. The two "talk" to each other with some sort of low (very low) power RF connection supported buy the card slots in the two. Both machines act like one better machine with the benefits of the HP's advanced keyboard and large memory, (assuming upgrade) multiple IO ports, and "DOS" compatibility and the benefits of the PP's backlight, pin graphic input, and hotsync features. A person "armed" with both units, configured in this way could enjoy the input features suiting the application of the moment. Sure, who wants to carry two units, sure _none_ of the communication between the two exists, and I'm sure the number of users would never justify the expense of design, but who keeps care of blind horses anyway? :) Phil >-----Original Message----- >From: Dan Ridenhour ÝSMTP:driden@STLNET.COM¨ >Sent: Friday, February 05, 1999 4:16 PM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU >Subject: Re: Even a blind horse finds water once in a while.... > >I (being somewhat addicted to little handheld computers since the Tandy >PC-2) have both a Palm >and the HP 200lx (100lx actually).

I believe they are capable of putting out a greater volume with more clairity for their volume (cm¬3) than anything else, thus they are used when a 'loud' volume (dB) in a small volume (cm¬3) is required. :) Loud, meaning a tiny little speaker like cellphones have can't quite match the output of a peizo, but that might have changed.

If you mean the lithium battery in the LX, I usually replace mine when the LX complains about the backup battery voltage being low. My 95LX ran for more than a year on its lithium battery, and come to think of it, so did my 200LX (still does in fact).

Since the battery is not very expensive I would recommend replacing it at least once a year. However, if you ever let your main batteries get really low, and the backup battery comes into use to preserve the ram, I would suggest replacing the backup, along with the mains, ahead of schedule. Remember, it is far better to replace a good backup battery than to need to rely on a less than healthy one. cheers...

The test for the HP200LX is the same for the HP95LX holding down the esc key And pressing the on key, then letting both go. Your display should have all the components in the system,then you press the space bar to tag each of the test you wish to Perform. Do not test the serial port yet I will explain later when you receive your cable. By the way your printer cable should be a GREENWICH INSTRUMENTS SERIAL TO PARALLEL PRINTER CABLE. You can buy it from THADDEUS COMPUTING for $69.95 that is the cable I use and have no trouble printing from HP95LX in any apps. Of course we are on line with other HPLX users and if you ask them for recommendation You will get a number of good cables to use.

What makes you think it does not work on the 200LX? Have you tried it yourself? If you mean that the trouble is with a double speed 200LX, then you just need the newer version available at www.palmtop.net (I think). As for that Stacked flash card, I would like to see you get rid of Stacker of you can afford to lose the storage space. Without Stacker, the disk will read and write faster and you will recover about 45K of valuable system RAM. To remove Stacker, you need to copy all of the data off the card that you can. Then reboot and press the Alt key to get the boot menu. Select the choice to not process the startup files. This will boot but not load the Stacker driver. Then use the D:\DOS\format command to redo the flashdisk without Stacker. All that is left is to put a new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT on the new A: drive and reboot. Here are examples to work from: CONFIG.SYS files=45 buffers=20 break=off shell=d:\dos\command.com /p d:\dos AUTOEXEC.BAT set comspec=d:\dos\command.com path D:\dos;D:\bin prompt $p$g c: cd \_dat 200 > PS : Has anyone noticed that duracell batteries will recharge in the HP200lx > while on deskpower?

Do not set the battery type to NiCd and enable charging with any kind of alkaline batteries in the palmtop. You are playing with wire and run a very real risk of the batteries leaking or exploding and damaging the palmtop. The supposed recharging of alkaline batteries is done in a very special charger that pulses the batteries and carefully monitors the process. The palmtop's charging process is entirely different.

MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT To counter these over-cautious and wasteful recommendations, I would say it depends entirely on the voltage of the battery. If you have used the same backup battery for 5 years and it still reads 2.90 volts, keep on using it. Lithium battery chemistry is extremely stable and the manufacturers speak with confidence of 10 year shelf lives. For the most part, the time a backup battery spends in the palmtop IS shelf life. It doesn't get used at all unless there is no other power available. So when you replace the AA batteries before they are completely dead or while on the A/C adapter, the backup battery is just waiting -- not working. Okay, yes, there is about 3 seconds when you have one AA out of the system, but the palmtop is turned off so the current draw is very small. >From: Bulent Bicioglu ÝSMTP:bbicioglu1@MMM.COM¨ >Sent: Sunday, February 07, 1999 5:29 AM > >Can anybody give an idea about when it is the right time for replacing > bakup batteries? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Feb 1999 10:10:36 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Rich C.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sounds like Walter Francis and I have the same problem. I recently bought a 300MHz IBM Thinkpad 600 with Windows 98 installed. I downloaded Transfile 200 from HP (file tf103) and started backing up my 200lx (8meg, double speed). Part way through the back up Transfile gave me a "No connection to HP palmtop. 1) Check cable... 2) Enable server mode..." message and then an error message "Could not open {filename}". After pushing the appropriate software buttons the back up would continue for a bit and then repeat the messages. I have tried all the available baud rates from 4800 to 57600 with similar results. The program hangs at different places during the back up and I have changed cables and tried to back up with a different 200lx to no avail. Both the 200s back up fine on my old Thinkpad 760 with Windows 95, so I think the problem must be in Windows 98 unless the Thinkpad 600 is too "fast" for the software. Any help will be deeply appreciated as I desperately need the machines to communicate.

It almost seems like the latch isn't catching quite right, although I can't see what is wrong. I've tried inserting a small piece of rubber band behind the latch, and this seems to help.

One thing is that a program does not always release all the memory, but the OS should always be able to regain it once program-execution has ended. This is what doesn't happen when you use WinCE... AFAIK, it is fairly common practice on UNIX (and other probably) platforms, to have long (forever) running processes re-exec themselves, to avoid them eating more and more memory because of memory leaks.

Sorry, have to disagree with this... Lithium cells are stable and have a long shelf life, but at the end of life, the voltage drops like a stone. During most of their useful life, they are almost exactly 3.00V. When they're down to 2.90, they're probably about gone.

I replace my coin battery every 9 months, and recommend the same, or no more than a year to anyone. If you had a battery that went into low power, i.e. you saw something like Recovering from Back up mode, I recommend to IMMEDIATELY change the coin battery! Anyone suggesting to use voltage as the measure is plain wrong, and gives really really lousy and dumb advice. Do not follow this. Let me give you a case in point. That voltage is a momentary measurement. ESPECIALLY with Lithium batteries, the next moment it can drop to zilch! Meaning, you have no backup and more liekly than not your data just became bit ashes! Your hair will beshortened violently - soon! :) These batteries contain so little charge, that playing a savings game with them is plain dumb. It saves maybe $2.00 and guarantees to waste you hours and hours of restoration time. Unless you get paid $0.02 per hour, spend the damned $2-3-4 and get a new coin. (BTW, these are the guys that send me a message because they lost their machine and lost their registration for WWW/LX Plus! :) ...)

Create a subset based on the category word(s) you want to delete. = 2. Activate the new subset and for each record in the subset, pull down= the category list box, and, for each of the words to be deleted, highligh= t the word and press DEL. Merely deleting the word from the visible catego= ry field will not delete the word from the category list. Deleting the category words from one record does not mean that the category words will= automatically be deleted from all the records in the subset. = Once the category words have been deleted from the records in the subset, they will also disappear from the category list in all other records in the database. 3. If there are a lot of records in the subset, you can expedite the process by using a System Macro to record the keystrokes needed to delete= the words from the category list and then playing back the macro for each= record. Note that the record will disappear from the subset when the category words have been deleted. The record will still be available in t= he All Database Items subset. The category field will be empty. = 4. Caution: if you delete any words from a category list, be sure to review any subset definitions that were based on these old category words= . They will no longer be valid and should be deleted or changed. If you want to make extensive changes to the category list, it might be easier to use the File Modify command and delete the category field altogether. Then close and reopen the database and use the File Modify command again to Add a new category field. Finally, you'll have to go through the entire database and reset all the category fields and the subset definitions. = ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 02:16:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Keefe Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Keefe Subject: Builder lite MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 >>Has anyone used the "BuilderLite" compiler on the LX.

I took the circular cap off the right of the hinge. Just use your fingernails to prise it off, It is a bit tight, but using metal may damage the surface. i then put some teflon lubricant I use in my pushbike in there. You have to be very careful with this, as putting too much in is irreversable. You should see that there is a metal axel surrounded by a metal shroud which is the hinge mechanism. This is where the oil goes. Try putting a little in, work it in, then repeat until the hinge is as you want it. As for the crack, I got some electricians tape, tishues, and superglue. put the tape on either side of the crack, as close as possible. This will protect the surface of the palmtop. Next, put a little preassure on the crack to open it up, and put some super glue in the crack. Again, be vary sparing with the superglue, I have heard that it reacts with the plastic, and the plastic will melt. This is probably why the seal is so good. Use the tishues to wipe any excess superglue away. I then opened the palmtop as far as it would go, placed it on a surface with the keyboard and screen facing the ground, and placed a small weight on it to keep the crack closed tight. I used a book. The repair job on mine is hardly noticeable, and is still going strong.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I am not a pc programmer so I don't know how pertinent my comments might be but...a few months back I put a bunch of scanned pages into a pdf document and out of curiousity tried to read it in Acrodos. The funny thing was that it did display - partially. It had trouble displaying the whole page - especially if you tried to move around the screen. But it did display. (Afterthought - I created the .pdf to be backward compatible with 2.1 - don't know if that matters of not.) Being a curious person, I looked at the .pdf with list and some of the readable text in the .pdf reminded me of a saved fax file. Would it be possible to convert a .pdf that way? Print to file using a fax driver and displaying with a fax viewer? Assuming there is a usable fax viewer for the LX? Of course, if you have Acrobat Exchange, there are converters out there for pdf to html, an expensive solution but also a possibility.

Comments: To: Terry Owen MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I looked at .PDF quite seriously back in 1994 when it was `new'. I implemented a bunch of programs that I needed back then to let me manipulate the objects inside a PDF file. So I became quite familiar with the innards of these files. While some aspects of handling a PDF are quite simple, the general problem of displaying a PDF file is incredibly complex, as true PDF *subsumes* all of PostScript, and PostScript is an incredibly complex and rich programming language in its own right. If you have looked at a PostScript file in any detail, you will have some feeling for this possible complexity. *Some* postscript files are almost directly readable: they can contain long quoted strings of legible ASCII. *Other* postscript files, though, can be incredibly obscure, placing characters in different fonts in an unusual order in what might appear to be nearly random locations. Letters can be formed out of line segments and arcs, and may never appear as ASCII characters in the PostScript source at all. If you are willing to accept the fact that you would get only a partial solution which might work well sometimes but fail rather miserably at other times, then you have some chance of success. However, the liklihood that anyone will produce a reasonable rendering engine for postscript on a machine as slow as the 200lx (even a double-speed 200lx is pretty slow) strikes me as pretty small. The strength and the weakness of PDF/PostScript are tied pretty intimately to one another. The very richness and complexity that lets these two languages represent such elaborate pages is also the source of the difficulty in rendering them. It seems to me that the only liklihood of success is to take some approach that does all of the rendering on some other device, and then move the images from that world onto the 200. This is essentially what you would get if you printed the document and then scanned it back in. Not a very satisfying solution, of course, but it is the only practicable approach I can see if you need to handle a broad range of PDF files.

"pages" are not in any particular order either. 4. the vast number of commands that need to be decoded - even if just to be skipped over 5. the difficulty of processing multiple methods of text rendering ( single quote, double quote, and a couple of other commands mean different things) Maybe you can find someone who's young and energetic to do this as a public service.

I am not a Lithium battery engineer nor chemist; I only know from personal experience that these cells last for ages in this application. My first HP palmtop was the 95LX and I have replaced its backup battery exactly once in its lifetime (since 1992) and it only ran down because I parked the machine for over a year without plugging it in or changing batteries. That said, I do practice the most careful backup procedures on a frequent basis, so the loss from a power failure would never be more than a temporary inconvenience. But I have never had one actually run out on me, causing data loss. For those of you without the discipline of frequent backups, or who may not replace low AAs as soon as the warning sounds, then, yes, the sky is falling and you should take the most conservative advice. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 22:29:15 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Winfried Zettelmeyer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Winfried Zettelmeyer Subject: Re: miniture printer Comments: To: Orin Keplinger MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Haven't you mentioned in past posts that you have your 200LX printing = to an > HP 6P? > > I have a 6P connected to a Sysmex 9500 CBC setup.

If your rules > are different, modify. You're right, if I just take the integer part, but fortunately Lotus can round to the nearest digit. I'm doing it like this (assuming the value I want is in A1): (@ROUND(A1*4,0))/4 That rounds up at anything >= 0.5, so 1.2499999 will round up to 1.25 without a problem. If you just do @int(a1*4)/4, then 1.249999 will indeed round down to 1.

Many programming languages use INT as a "rounding integer" function, but Lotus 1-2-3 uses it as a truncate integer function.

You're right... you need a rounding solution. Fortunately, Lotus allows you to round to a specified number of decimal places (like 0 in my example) but that won't help directly when trying to round to something other than the nearest tenth, hundredth, etc. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 22:50:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Charlie McNeil Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Charlie McNeil Subject: Re: FS: HP200LX and related bunch o' stuff (UPDATE) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello Everyone- I've received a great response to my post of HPLX items, and I thought it might be OK to post an update in the interest of saving everyone's time re: items that are already sold.

My Palmtop has gone berserk! Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Well, I never thought I would be writing this group looking for help...but the time has come. I have a doublespeed 200LX with 64mb upgraded memory and I use Software Carousel. I have a macro that automatically backs up everything from C: to my 220mb A: flashcard daily. So what could possibly go wrong - EVERYTHING!! Out of the blue, all my databases, my phone book, my appointment book - have started giving me indications of corruption. Each of these files sporadically will not open. Fortunately, I am able to copy the backup file from my A: flashcard back to the C: drive. That is until recently when apparently my macro copied all corrupted files on C: over my good files on the A: flashcard. GURU CHALLENGE # 1!!: The main damage that was done is in my appointment book which won't open. First question - How good is garlic at repairing a corrupted appointment book, or does anyone have a better idea on how I might be able to recover the appointment book data before I toss in the towel? Next question - has anyone experienced similar sporadic corruption problems and did you find a resolution? I suspect that I might have allowed some of these files to get too big, but I'm wondering if there is another variable at work here that I'm not considering. I don't believe there is a virus on the palmtop since I have not downloaded any new files to this computer in over 6 months. GURU CHALLENGE #2!!: Next problem I'm experiencing - Whenever I try to go to System Manager by pressing the &/More Key from the topcard, my screen creates the top icons (Appt, Phone, Note, Memo, DB, Quicken, Lotus and DOS), and then slowly creates what looks like the standard 200LX topcard speckled background picture for the lower half of the screen instead of creating the rest of my icons! At that point, the palmtop locks up and needs to be rebooted. Like I said, everything is a mess!! I copied a backup of the appmgr.dat file to my _dat directory in the C: root, but this did not fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on what other files may need to be restored or what other fixes I might want to employ? I'll be very impressed if anyone has a solution to either challenge, but here's putting you guys and gals to the test! Thanks in advance.

There is a computer reseller here in Utah that is looking to get rid of some of their old PC (DOS and 16-bit Windows )software and hardware. For instance, I picked up Lotus Magellan 2.0 for $8. Yes, I know it's free at Lotus' web site, but it's nice to have the docs and diskettes. They also have: MSDOS 5.0 if you want the complete package. Windows 3.0 if you want to try it on the Palmtop. WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS (then you'll have a license and can use 5.1+, if you want to) QDOS Collection by Gazelle Systems (nice file management, backup, etc.) Partition Magic for $19 (then you can get the upgrade and rebate) ...and many/much more.

Hey anyone there listening? I still see post about what version of Acrobat reader runs on LX. NONE and no new reader will ever work, you just can't write one! The solution is to use , the free online PDF to HTML and PDF to TXT converter service. It does the job on a big remote server, just type the URL of the desired PDF file. It works, even with 2000kB files and is of quite acceptable speed, IMO it's easy to use WWW/LX or Arachne to view at the resulting HTML file. This method must be satisfactory, as if you do not have access to the Internet on the palmtop, then you won't read PDF files there; as the only source of PDF's is the Net or some CD-ROMs (later is not commonly attached to HPLX). Spare your efforts for more useful tasks, then writing PDFreader.

Before us >serious Unix bigots can really just run Minix and nothing else on >our palmtop, we'll need to divise some PIM software. I've been >pondering that one.... Actually there was a simple GUI for Minix v1.5, not X, but gui. I know, that there are two DOS-based X-servers (btw, for X-window server means client and vica versa), one runs on 8086, other one supports 286 w/CGA. Both are free sw, so we may get the source and port them to create X for Minix, when it matures on the LX. For PIM, noone said here that Minix should be dominant OS for HPLX! More like a dual-boot system, that more and more desktop PCs use. Regularly you'll run ROM-DOS 5.0 or IBM PC DOS 2000 on LX and boot Minix only when you have time for a longer session. Minix needs about 2min to boot, 1min to close, so no useful PIM for it. Instant on Unix is generally not a good idea, very picky about filesystem consistency, so no crashes please! Main Minix use will be educational, otaku and some networking. >> How does it use memory--does it need more than 640k? Do you need >> expanded or extended memory? In theory, 512kb is enough for OS, but nothing else. 640kb is OK for OS and programs; however if using shell with command history and scripting (ash), even won't fit. Quite restricted. Minix does not support LIM (expanded mem.) by default, but had a beta version EMS driver for ver. 1.5; I got it via e-mail w/ code. This is one area, where MinixLX can contribute to the regular distribution in the future. >It manages memory by mandating (enforced by the compiler) that all >programs run in "small memory model" --- 64KB code plus 64KB data, >or less.

OS/2 version 1x and 2.x will run on 286, 3.x and up need virtual mode. Let me theorize on Oses for HPLX. Minix has educational value, which may make LX a common tool for IT students, just like the 48 is for sophomore engineers. Minix will also serve as base for ELKS to LX. Solid MinixLX can sell a few thousand brand new 200LX PCs. ELKS is the link to Linux, which assures non-commercial palmtop sur- vival into XXI century. Also gets a load of future applications. Linux fans may wish to own smallest Un*x box, buying n*10,000 units. There is Coherent, a commercial 16bit Un*x from now defunct company, should check for abandonware status. It has more functionality com- pared to Minix, as it was made for work, not edu. IBM PC DOS 2000 may be the choice of those, who ought to keep using non-Y2K progs, like M$ Word 5.0. It has some methods internal to command.com helping out failing programs. Other just stick to ROM based Dos 5.0. This only help keeping the already existing user base. All the above four are defensive approaches, they can only delay LX fate of production end by H-P, but not prevent it. QNX version 2.x should be the real gem, that makes H-P think about new 386+ LX for QNX v.4 business. (Ver. 2 can run on 8086, but V4 needs 386+). This real-time OS enables use of LX as control panel/ network adapter inside sophisticated workgroup printers, scanners. However, as promising as it seems, it requires big bucks and at least semi-official support from QSSL. (Home-made 486 upgrade to HPLX is impossible, it's way beyond the skills and tooling available to individuals. Most we can expect is H-P making a new version or selling 200LX production equipment to a 3rd party for further development if the need for palm-sized full x86 machine w/ open OS emerges. When other companies tell H-P they want to buy 20,000+ 486 palmtop a year for OEM, then H-P starts thinking or not. Above QNX thing is one such possibility).

I went through this situation about a year ago. My 200X was new and the hinge was pretty stiff. I didn't see any sign of the crack, but it was a hot topic at the time and I was worried. I took off the caps and added a drop of light machine oil at each hinge. I worked it around for a while and it didn't seem to help so I added another drop. I worked the hinges again for a while and suddenly the joints got very loose. The lid would not stay in place after that. My remedy for the loose hinges was to take a wash bottle of absolute ethanol and rinse each hinge, then open and close several times. I repeated this process a few times and ended up with just the right amount of tension. My thinking was that the ethanol would rinse off the excess oil and then evaporate. I don't know if that is what actually happened, but it seemed to work.

The beauty is that the lubricant istelf dries, and does not attract dirt or other particles. It is designed for use on bike parts, like the chain, and gears. In that area you do not want a petrolium based oil which attracts and builds up dirt. With the teflon oil, the drying actually changes the lubrication effect, luckily for this application, it makes it slightly stiffer, possibly helping in the case of over lubrication. But I suggest using small amounts with waiting periods between.

A solution for you might be to buy and install desktop v2.4 (I know...sounds dumb), and that version is EMS capable. The LX version of 123 was specifically crippled to prevent activation of EMS support. It sounds like you have the RAM and disk space to spare for the install.

You can also turn the palmtop on and off during charging so that you can swap PCMCIA cards. Charging will stop while the palmtop is off and return to the charging mode when the palmtop is turned back on. This also has the effect of restarting the charging timer. It also allows you to experiment with running the main batteries down to a lower point by short-circuiting the low battery message for those that like to live on the edge. This option should only be tested with rechargeable batteries such as the Nicd and Nimh types. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. You can also get rid of the low card battery messages for those of you with PCMCIA cards that erroneously give that message. I have included this functionality in a new version of my speed upgrade driver which will be placed on my site as soon as more testing has been done. The BIOS Message Killer is available from the Super site at www.palmtop.net Cheers, Mack Baggette ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 14:17:19 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Skyglobe icon MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Anybody have a good astronomy-related icon that I can use for SkyGlobe? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 17:18:04 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick McGouirk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick McGouirk Subject: Upgrades and Silicom NIC's Comments: cc: Mack Baggette MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0010_01BE5519.51D77290" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0010_01BE5519.51D77290 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've seen recent posts on HP-LX talking about how the Accton card is the = only network card that works with the DoubleSpeed upgrades.

It should work fine. (Although you should be able to run your software on an Accton card just as well.) You may have hope: there's a report of one Silicom card working in a double-speed palmtop, in Germany. So... maybe you've got one of the lucky ones. Odds aren't good, though.

Mack might want to answer this one, but from what I understand the card does a memory check and with the speed upgrade installed, it thinks the card's built-in memory is corrupt. Nothing seems to help it... slowdowns or anything. At one point I tried wiring up a dual-mode two-crystal 200LX that could be switched between regular and 2x mode, but it... didn't work out, shall we say. But, there's a report of a Silicom card in Germany that works with a 2x palmtop. So... it MAY work. But the Accton cards are cheaper anyway, and I like the connector better, so I probably wouldn't get a Silicom card anyway. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 18:01:24 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Accton Ethernet Card help needed I got this card a few weeks ago and am finally getting around to playing with it.

You must have the 802.3 protocol running on the Netware server too. Do you know if that frame type is being used on your server? It can be used in conjunction with other frame types, so adding it should not be a problem. > The TCP/IP stuff is also a bit of a nightmare.

The net.cfg file is quite simple and there should be a sample of it with the accton card in the netware odi directory. If you only specify one frame type then you only need the frame ethernet_II or whatever you use line in the net.cfg under the "link driver" section and indented a few spaces. As far as tcp/ip we have been using the odi packet driver shim for a long time. That allows programs that expect a packet driver to work ontop of odi drivers. I think it is included in most of the packet driver collections. With this the configuration is the same as a packet driver and is usually documented in the particular software's manual.

The Accton cards don't have an ODI driver that works on the 200LX, so you have to use PDIPX to make it work.

When I tag a dir on the NT box (still in Filer on the 200lx, but it is the Remote Window) it only tags the dir and the first file in that dir and that's all that is copied over. I have to separately tag all files under each dir I want to copy across and do several separate copies... What's the deal? This is very inconvenient if there are multiple subdirs to be copied across.

I can connect, but can't access any web pages. Is there a special trick? I just moved into Metricom's Puget Sound service area (Redmond, WA, to be precise), I need a new ISP, the idea of wireless internet and e-mail on the Palmtop sounds great, and Metricom just cut the price of their original model wireless modem in half, $300 to $150. (What more incentive could you want). Anyway, once I got a chance to look at them, I promptly fell in love with the newer, smaller, longer battery life SE model ($350), but when I tried it out in a computer shop this afternoon I couldn't get a response from Metricoms DNSs, and got time out no response when attempting to access a web page with its IP address. WWW/LX appeared to connect just fine using PPP and CHAP/PAP script, and Metricom's help desk could see my connection, but once connected I got no further response (judging both by HV's error messages and by the little transmit and receive lighting bolts on the Ricochet SE's display). The help desk, of course, said that the Palmtop and DOS are not supported platforms. I used Datacom to query the modem about the transmitters it was connecting to with no problem. The technician/ salesman at the computer shop was equally puzzled (as well as a bit intrigued by the 200LX). Any and all help appreciated.

I quit all applications, took out the batteries, and replaced the full Alkaline ones. When I turned on the palmtop I noticed that I was welcome to my new palmtop ( I mean I lost all data in C: drive). My backup helped me but I wondered about the reason of that. I've being using my palmtop for about 4 years with the same backup batteries which show 2.92V nowadays.

The program would present a PPP/SLIP interface on the COM port, and forward the packets out the ethernet card. Do either or both of these programs exist? I sure could use them here lately.

Hi again, Brian- OK - I think I see what's wrong. You need to specify a working directory for the MaxDOS session when using WWW-Post/LX. Try this: c:\bin\maxdos.com -dc:\wwwlx c:\wwwlx\www.exe -d "!post" ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Adding this is like doing cd \wwwlx from the DOS command line. Otherwise I think WWW/LX and Post/LX will look for their config files in c:\bin instead of c:\wwwlx and fail...

It will be available to everybody, with some groups reserved for particular people (i.e., beta-testing groups, etc.) The advantages are that it will be "pull" rather than "push," i.e., you can fire up News/LX or another newsreader to get messages whenever you feel like it.

It will be available to everybody, with some groups reserved for particular people (i.e., beta-testing groups, etc.) The advantages are that it will be "pull" rather than "push," i.e., you can fire up News/LX or another newsreader to get messages whenever you feel like it. Plus the messages will be pre-categorized for you, so you can subscribe to only the groups you care to read.

PCMCIA parallel port v. Serial-to-parallel converter Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have at least one thought on the possible differences between using PCMCIA parallel port cards and serial-to-parallel converters. I have a TransPC card and to my knowledge, there is no way to enable this card in the config.sys "stage" of DOS start up. Ok, you ask what is the significance of this "problem"? It's only a problem if you need LPT support before you get a DOS prompt (yes, autoexec.bat occurs _after_ you get a prompt, autoexec.bat is a batch file). An example of this effect: you can not use the "sys" driver for your Zip drive, you must run the Guest program and "lose" the low memory it consumes (program + environment). If you could enable a TransPC card in config.sys, like you can a network card, you could load the driver (which uses less memory) before your command.com is installed. Then you can load any LPT port dependent stuff like, Interlnk, or any printer specific driver. Ok, you did not request this rant, but I hope it brings to light a possible "problem" you might encounter, using a PC card vs. an external converter.

Most of them are annoying messages like "BATTERY CHARGING STARTED" and the "CARD BATTERY LOW" message when a network card is being used. It also allows turning the palmtop on and off during charging. However, for the daring risk-taker, you can suppress battery messages as well. It's completely configurable. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 20:34:25 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Cavendishl@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Lynn M.

He who would trade Freedom for Security deserves neither. Second, the inability to turn the machine off during charging in order to pull a flash card is a pain, and is cured by this program. Third, the NiMH batteries which Times2Tech offers (and which I highly recommend, by the way) are safe, even for writing to a flashcard, far below the level where the "Low Battery" message starts. It is very annoying to be at the Bank or Grocery Store and keep getting that annoying beep while writing checks (i.e., Quicken entries) or following a Grocery List, and knowing that you are safe for yet another hour or more.

Plug the ADAPTER (stop any charging, if it happens, and make sure the machine is turned off!!!) 3. Remove the Main batteries. Put new ones in. 4. Remove the backup battery. Put in a new one. When you removed all the batteries the palmtop got reset. This is how it is shipped from the factory - empty of data!!! If you MUST change batteries with no adapter plugged, make sure shut down all the apps. Then make sure you have a FRESH backup battery in the palmtop. Then take out the main batteries, and put fresh ones in. This procedure is RISKY!!!! It relies on the power in the backup batteries to hold up the stuff in your C: drive!!! If your backup battery is not fresh, you CAN (and probably WILL) lose your C: drive and come back to a new, brain-erased machine, like from the factory! If you do this exercie several time, say 3-4, I would then take the backup battery and toss it, ad get a new fresh one to put in. Each time you remove the main batteries, the only power that is in the palmtop is the backup battery. After a few times of this, get a new insurance policy! :)... Avi M.

So in AppMgr entry you'd see something like: Path: c:\wwwlx\www.exe -d "!post"|285 Which would allocate 285K to this combo. If you have Path: c:\wwwlx\www.exe -d "!post"| Then the combo will take EVERYTHING it can find, making it impossible for Memo to start. In any case, I am not sure that 285K or any allocation, is now possible to run WWW.EXE and pOST.EXE and MEMO or PE.EXE, if we also consider that most people have some TSRs running etc. There just may not be enough memory to do this... I recommended at some point a dual icon approach: 1. One entry in the AppMgr has Path: c:\wwwlx\www.exe -d "!post"|285 But you only use it to press F5 to go online. 2. The second entry has: Path: c:\wwwlx\post.exe| And you use it ONLY to read your email and reply to it, but not to press F5 to go online. If you do, POST.EXE will complain it cannot, that WWW.EXE is not in memory. This guy can actually call PE to be its editor, or Memo if you prefer. This gets around the problem of having so much in memory nothing works anymore. Maybe Brian will see this and try this approach. Avi M.

This prompted me to do some experiments on how the 320 will handle DOS programs when running the DOS emulator. The HP 320LX is a 44MHz machine with 4MB ROM and it could run the DOS programs (I used askSam PIM with >500kB information file) without problems. The overall response times (screen refresh, searching etc.) was about 3 to 4 times SLOWER than on my double speed 6MHz HP 200LX. It took some time to get the DOS emulator running, so to help others perhaps wanting to try out the same on other WIN-CE machines I attach a brief description of how-to-do. - I downloaded the self extracting archive XTCE_210a_SH3.EXE (XTCE_2~1.EXE) from WWW. -To run DOS on a WIN CE machine first make a directory on a Windows95 machine, extract the self extracting archive XTCE_210a_SH3.EXE (XTCE_2~1.EXE). Using H/PC link (supplied with all XT-CE machines) install XT-CE on the handheld HP PC. - Make a DOS 6.22 (or DR-DOS) bootable disk with simple autoexec.bat and config.sys files and copy to this diskette the programs you want to run under DOS (e.g. keyboard and screen drivers /include them for e.g. in the autoexec.bat and config.sys files on this disk/ and other programs e.g. NC or anything else you want to try out. - Using one of the extracted files DUMPDISK.COM create a diskimage of this disk into a file (e.g at the DOS prompt type dumpdisk a: c:\directory where you have dumpdisk\name of file e.g. DOS622.DSK). - Copy this diskimage file to a flash card, insert this into the Handheld PC and run the icon for XT-CE. - Follow screen advice. - You will end up with DOS running on the Handheld PC. Because the XT-CE emulator is unregistered every now and then you will end up seeing a "Splash-Screen" asking you to register the product. Wait for approx. 10 seconds before the Splash-Screen disappears. AS THE POSSIBILITIES OF SPEEDING UP THE WIN-CE MACHINES ARE LIMITED (they would end up with far too big power drain), I feel that for a long long time to come we will have to rely on our SUPERB 95, 100 or 200LX PC. Even when the prices of the handheld WIN-CE machines go down so dramatically, they are no replacement for people working in DOS. As I have been lurking on this list for a long time, I want to thank all of those, that make it so useful and interesting. So much for a test of "new technology" All of You have a lovely day Ales Bourek {:> bourek@iol.cz bourek@med.muni.cz ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 11:40:31 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , BOUREK Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: BOUREK Subject: one cable for printing and serial connections MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, To make things even smaller and versatile, I have customized the original serial-to-paralell Greenwich cable enabling direct printing from the 100/200LX. After dismantling the snap-box of the original cable, which houses the Greenwich circuit board with electronics, you will find, that only some of the wires in the cable are used. Strip the insulation a bit further on and using a mutimeter and original serial connection cable from HP find out which pins of the 9 pin RS 232 serial female connector correspond to which pins on the HP female connector used for pluging into the 100/200LX. Fine solder the leads from the striped cable from Greenwich to a serial 9 pin female RS 232 connector and also mace connection where appropriate with the 5 wires already soldered to the Greenwich circuit board. The RS 232 connector can be attached to the original Canon printer connector housing, when the back hole used originally for cable throughput is enlarged. The cable of this modified connector must come out from the side (a crude ASCII drawing is following). If all goes well, you will end up with a compact connector enabling you to print and connect to serial ports of other PC's when you are on the road. There is no more need to bring two cables, a printer and serial. For those of you, that do not have the original serial HP cable and are interested, I will post a mail which pin in the RS 232 female connector corresponds to which in the HP female connector.

Great for sorting thru my digital albums now, and when I want to send a bunch of pictures to someone, it's just a matter of copying a crop of pictures for preview and deleting ones I don't want to send using LXPIC. However, the DEL function doesn't seem to work on the Omnibook 800, using LXPIC 6.1 (or 5.0)....but it does work on the LX and desktop just fine. Just wondered if the handful of OB-800 users out there have had the same problem (and maybe have a workaround....or even care?). I haven't checked the keyboard scan code yet for the OB's DEL key, but I guess that'd be the next step.

Lithium Ion batteries have a funny discharge curve. They last for quite some time at hi voltages, as you have experienced yourself. Then they'll have a short periof time when the voltage will drop from about 2.91 to 2.5 volts, then they'll drop like a rock at the end from approximately 2.5-2.4 to nothing. The time spent in each stage is about 80%, 18%, and 2%. I.e. the end comes extremely fast. When I used Lithiums, I got about 40 hours at high voltages, then about 20 hours between 2.9 and 2.5v, then about 1 hour from that. So you want to be very very careful at the backend of the cycle, they will drop like a rock. One more important caution: The hours I got on the sets of batteries I used, is not necessarily what you will get. There is no way to tell what you will get, because the usage varies so much. Some activities on the palmtop take more power, others less. So "Your Mileage Will Vary!"... Avi M.

After dismantling the snap-box of the original cable, which houses the Greenwich circuit board with electronics, you will find, that only some of the wires in the cable are used. Strip the insulation a bit further on and using a mutimeter and original serial connection cable from HP find out which pins of the 9 pin RS 232 serial female connector correspond to which pins on the HP female connector used for pluging into the 100/200LX. Fine solder the leads from the striped cable from Greenwich to a serial 9 pin female RS 232 connector and also mace connection where appropriate with the 5 wires already soldered to the Greenwich circuit board. The RS 232 connector can be attached to the original Canon printer connector housing, when the back hole used originally for cable throughput is enlarged. The cable of this modified connector must come out from the side (a crude ASCII drawing is following). If all goes well, you will end up with a compact connector enabling you to print and connect to serial ports of other PC's when you are on the road. There is no more need to bring two cables, a printer and serial. For those of you, that do not have the original serial HP cable and are interested, I will post a mail which pin in the RS 232 female connector corresponds to which in the HP female connector.

They die pretty quickly. You don't have to change the batteries immediately but I would leave the HP turned off until you can a new pair installed. Also, be sure you backup is ingood shape. I always have a replacement set with me so this isn't a problem (for me). Since mine last about 2-3 months this occasional event is worth the bother for the long life they give me. cheers...

It just sounds similar - OK in W95, not in the LX. The problem I saw was that I connected OK to our company dial-up service, did all the tricky authentication etc. But I could not reach the POP server except by IP address. I was advised by Steve Lawson to try some of the utilities that hang round with WATTCP, and so I hooked up MT and a couple of NSLOOKUP type programs (apologies to the authors for not recalling who wrote what). This showed that any attempt to talk to the DNS server failed. I could ping it (I could even Telnet to it by address) but DNS queries failed. So my advice for step 1 is to try and identify the default gateway for have been set up by the Ricochet service with - I guess this is the nearest point to you on the net, like the dial-in server. If you can ping that then you *do* have a connection of some kind. Then try to ping the DNS by IP address (you can always use your W95 box to work these addresses out). If that works then try an NSLOOKUP package, there are all sorts of debug hooks in some. At the end for me it turned out to be a filter in EPPPD that was designed (I think) to filter XON/XOFF out of the data, but this caused the DNS packets to fail, don't ask me why it should, I'm not clever enough. If your symptoms are similar, see if you have similar controls you can adjust.

Each NiMH cell is rated at a little over 1.3V nominal. Two of them will give nominal voltage of 2.6+. They can certainyl be pushed up, but it is meaningless, and they drop to their normal range. In their operating range they spend a lot od time (i.e. between 2.6 and 2.40) and that is what is important, not the peaks. NiCDs are similar in voltage, a bit higher. Generally NiCDs can hold a max of about 850mAh in the AA format, and the NiMH hold about 1100mAh in the same format, i.e. a little better energy density. They both have excellent operating range and recovery in the low range. You'll get about 25-35% more service time from NiMH than NiCD, but the NiCDs may be less expensive. One more thing to consider is that NimH are much more ecology-friendly! Avi M.

It seems though that the application Mgr when closed will take down Post/LX, no? Separately, there is a great little program called CLOSEFLR.COM by Mark Scardna (is it on SUPER? I dunno...). You run it once. It change APPMGR.DAT file (in C:|_DAT) so that the specifications for Filer are such that when it runs and you close it it will actually close, releasing 56K of memory. Normally when you shut down FILER, it just goes to sleep, but still keeps the 56K memory. The proper procedure: 1. Run CLOSEFLR. 2. Start FILER blue button. 3. Don't quit FILER!!!, just press blue & buttom (MORE). 4. Move the cursor to highlight Filer. 5. Press F6. Check the memory! To restart Filer, you have to press the button two times, that is normal.

The way Ricochet works is so: It is a Hayes modem to the LX (or Win95). It is a radio outward from the modem. So it sends these radio signals to a network of repeaters which ultimately leads the signal to a computer they have which connects via landlines to their main computer. I believe the TCP/IP protocol runs on top of this radio signal. and talks to their "central" computer, which behaves like the "dial in" computer. The login process seems to work fine, since Tech support can actually see the connection Sharon made (and I presume I make etc...) Using these beasts on Win95 is no problem, but something is missing in the LX side. I posted another message here with a summary of my discussion with my partner, Andreas, who wrote WWW/LX Plus. > Then try to ping the DNS by IP address (you can always use your W95 box to > work these addresses out).

I have spent lots of time on it in last two days. So far we have learned a lot, but it is not working yet. Andreas (whom I called in Switzerland) and I discussed this. He thinks that perhaps what is in the way is a proxy server on the Ricochet side. Anyone knows anything about that? He seems to think that Win95 sets this up automatically, I just don't know. My own Win95 installation works flwlessly. The Modem was recognised instantly on my OB800 Win95, I just created a connection, put in the data, and away we went! But I have no indication about any proxy server, and in fact, if anyone wants to give a tutorial about it here, Go for it! I did a PING to their two DNS IPs and I get a flood of packets coming from an unknown host according to PING/LX. Also created a few other little things for Andreas to look over. unfortunately, he is going to be unavailable in the next week, and the week after, I'll be at a conference in San Francisco... Yes, I am taking my Ricochet to the Land Of Ricochet (SF Bay Area) but that is no guarantee I'll have success, and/or time to work it. So perhaps this info will add something to the communal knowledge... Any ideas anyone?

This is certainly not correct for Win95. If you check the size of the swap file, you will see that during periods of inactivity, Win95 will purge the swap file and its size will drop way down.

The quick entry feature is excellent BUT it loses much of its value to me because when I press F2 to enter a new item, the first field the cursor goes to is not the date field. Therefore I either have to cycle forward all the way through the memorized transaction or press Shift-Tab to move "back" to the date field. Both are inconvenient because with the memorized transactions other than the date, all I usually need to enter is the amount. Is there a way to have the entry screen start at the date field? I have not found it if there is one.

As long as you use them in a high voltage range all will be well. They start at around 3.2v as you said. I may be a bit conservative but I always change them out at about 2.65v. Experience has tought me that online modem runs below 2.65v make them dip quite a bit but later they recover some giving you a false sense of security. Also at 2.65v they are about 95% used up, so because of the sharper drop off at the end of the cycle I don't risk it past there. I know they are more $$ that rechargebles, but life is simple with never having to worry about recharging, etc. Normally they last abuot 3 times longer than Alks, but you will have to go through a few sets to know better for your setup and useage pattern.

For me the relevant questions are how much time it would take to produce the program, and how slow it would be once it was up and running. We earlier had a brief discussion in this thread of a 100 hour estimate. In private discussion, I argued that this was a *very* substantial underestimate of the task, if the goal was to produce something that truly could handle _most_ PDF files. PDF subsumes PostScript, and it is easy to see from either the size of the PostScript Red Book or from the size of GhostScript source / image that handling PostScript is a large (multi thousand hour?) task. Adobe's Acrobat reader is a couple of meg. That, of course, is only the .EXE file. Undoubtedly a meg or two of .DLLs also get called. Given the limitations of addressing in pre 286 CPUs, I'd hate to guess how much time and effort might have to be devoted to shoehorning these huge piles of code into a 200. And, running the whole thing on a 7mhz machine probably wouldn't be very satisfying, nor would looking at it on a CGA screen. The problem with PDF is that its strength and its weakness are tied to one another. The very richness that allows it to be an effective format for communicating complex documents places considerable demand on the computational resources necessary to support it. I agree that someone *could* produce a PDF reader for a 200. It's just that I don't think it would be a very satisfying `life's work'... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 10:21:50 -0600 Reply-To: Mack Baggette Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mack Baggette Subject: Re: Is my double speed working?

If the DX150 were then to receive a Form Feed command (FF), it = would advance to the top of the next sheet and be ready for a new print job. Some word processing software sends a FF (form feed command; ESC C; or CHR$(12); or Ctrl L) at the end of printing. Some do not. Ex: PE will not, Memo does. If you want to do your own FF, then push the ONLINE button once (go off line), then press the FORM FEED button). These key and light combinations= should be on an informative decal on the bottom of the printer with the serial number. Hope this helps a little, Bob Pigford BTW - If your Diconex 150 is the SERIAL ONLY version, there is another DIP switch inside the machine near the serial connector for setting communications parameters if needed.

The Hebrew fonts and definitions are in the standard keybez.kit file found in d:\bin (you can edit the file after it has been opened by keybez to remove the other languages.) I don't remember all the details as it has been years since I set it up but the details are in the manual and in the file as well. All that is left to do is to press the CTRL key every time you want Hebrew in a DOS app or system manager app. QTEXT activates Hebrew automatically using F10 and shift-F10. Some limitations: 1. keybez conflicts with buddy. DONT use them together. 2. You shouldnt use Hebrew as the primary index in a database eg the name in the phone book app. It really messes with sorting and the quick search. I DO use Hebrew in addresses and in notes. 3. You might notice that there are no Hebrew letters on the keyboard :). I have found the best solution is 2.5mm white rub-on Hebrew letters which fit nicely to the right of the relevant key. You have to cut out each letter individually, which is a really long tough task, (I have done it 3 times in the last year) but ends up looking not bad.

It would be useful only if the applications used most frequently were significantly faster if light sleep was disabled. My own experience with disabled light sleep (a Simple Tech flash card which disabled light sleep against my will) indicated that the slow programs I use were still slow, and the speeded up things (like the Freecell flying cards) were not of sufficient benefit to justify a 50% drop in battery life. Perhaps all of the "speed freaks" should do a test run of disabling fast sleep to see if it helps them any. Incidentally, the original poster noted that searches in Info Select were faster.

I can use 'ctty COM1:' as soon as the PC has bootet to connect to the 200LX such that the 200LX is used as display and keyboard for the PC. I would like to take the PC with me but without monitor and even without the keyboard! 'No keyboard connected' is the problem because during POST the PC checks for the keyboard and if it's not connected, the boot process is holded and an error-msg is displayed (and it beeps of course). Is there a way to build or buy a 'keyboard connector, which fools the PC during POST? Many thanks in advance.

SX vs. SE and original models - I went out to buy an original model Ricochet modem because of the recent price slash and because Metricom's web site claims slightly better battery life for the original than the SE. The various retailers I talked to (while trying to find a place that still had original models in stock) said that didn't match their experience - the found the SE to have much better battery life than the original. I knew I did not want the SX because Metricom claims only a fraction of the battery life of the other two for the SX, and describes it as less durable as well. Upon examination, I found the original to be slightly thicker, significanty longer and significantly heavier than the 200LX (its battery pack alone is as big as an old pager). The SX is slightly wider and/or slightly longer (I wasn't paying close attention) than the 200LX, and did not lie flat against it due to a connector bulge at on end. The SE seemed like the best fit with the 200LX with its long battery life and small size (about he same thickness and about half as long and a little more than half as wide as the 200LX), and it has an informative LCD display the others lack. If they hadn't dropped the original from $300 to $150, it would be no contest (SE & Sx are both $350), but even at more than twice the price I'll choose the SE over the original. > > So far you have helped A LOT!!!

I have a need to use a backlit machine for Ham Radio Packet use periodically, so I needed to use the 360 instead of the 200. Before I found the XTCE DOS emulator I used the internal comm program, but I lost many of the features of a "real" packet program. I loaded a registered version of XTCE (registration is needed to have the serial port active) and have been using it for packet for about a month now. I agree with the speed problem - there is a noticable delay from a key press to screen input - but for this purpose it works great. I agree that while XTCE will allow DOS to run on the CE machine, it is no substitute for my double speed 200! But for this specific purpose it saves battery power... Also, since the Dump Disk program makes a disk image of the boot floppy, you might as well make a boot disk from your original DOS diskettes with ALL the DOS utilities on it.

I use Radio Shack 23-525 1200mAh Nickel Metal Hydride Rechargeable batteries. I live off my 200LX, using it several hours a day. These batteries easily last me 3-4 days on a full charge without recharging! Nowadays, I rarely put these batteries to the test since it is simply a matter of getting in the habit of using good charging strategies - no different than having good backup strategies. I always keep my palmtop in recharge mode and plug it into the AC every night before going to bed. I also never use a modem card or do intensive power draining system backups without having it on the charger - my macros automatically runs daily backups at 3am. I now have 2 AC rechargers - one for my home and one for my office...I use them like docking stations on my desktops. Finally, on long business trips in the car, I keep the 200LX hooked up to my lighter recharger attachment that I purchased for dirt cheap from Thaddeus (I highly recommend having this accessory). If you get in the habit of following a similar routine and use good NI-MH Rechargeables, you will quickly find that battery life is never an issue again. It's just not worth risking running out of battery power and draining your emergency backup battery. Keep in mind, if your batteries ever die in the middle of doing a backup of important files such as large data bases, there is a strong chance that this will cause irreversible corruption of those files. So plan ahead. If you have good recharging strategies in place, you will have no excuse for avoiding high capacity flash cards, modem cards and double speed upgrades due to power consumption issues. You are much better off taking advantage of every bell & whistle you can benefit from on the palmtop for optimal utilization, and simply forming good daily recharging and backup strategies. Gary M.

It is very simple: OPEN "COM1: 1200, N, 7, 2, RS, CS, DS, CD" FOR RANDOM AS #2 OPEN "test.dat" FOR OUTPUT AS #3 A$ =3D "D" FOR i =3D 1 TO 10 PRINT #2, A$ IN$ =3D INPUT$(14, #2) PRINT #3, TIME$, IN$ NEXT i CLOSE #2 CLOSE #3 END Note that the 1200 baud connection limits the number of samples per second. I suspect there are more commands available to talk to the meter but the "D" (send data) command is the only one documented. GaryS > I recently acquired a Radio Shack digital multi-meter (Cat.

I think that a double speed upgrade takes of about 25% of your battery time. I use a 64MB & Double Speed upgrade from Mack, and with a 220MB SanDisk card inserted all the time. I get up to 20 hours of usage from 2 ordinary alkaline batteries.

Or more properly, DOS sees the palmtop as being a PC/XT with one diskette drive (the PCMCIA slot). When DOS finds itself running on a single-diskette machine, it automatically ASSIGNs b: to a:.

Interestingly, the SDK states that drive B: is reserved for a second partition on a flash card... but nobody has gotten this to work in the palmtop yet. It might work for a second PC Card socket, if somebody cared to add one. :) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 10:11:27 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , M Cordrey Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: M Cordrey Subject: keyboard scan codes In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I recently saw on the list that someone had a list of keyboard scan codes for the 200lx.

Have you checked that your BIOS does not have the facility to disable keyboard checking. I have seen several which provide this (and several that do not). There are "keyboard simulators" available here in the UK which are small boxes which plug into the keyboard position and provide the correct responses.

I have seen figures quoted of around 10 to 15%. In support of this figure, I recently upgraded my palmtop to double speed, but have only been through one charge cycle so far which gave 10 hours usage (using 1500mAH NiMH). Typically I used to get between 10 and 12 hours before the upgrade so it seems that doublespeed has not had much of an effect.

Hmmm... Are you using this card in a 100LX or 200LX? The 100 can't use a lot of the newer cards without an additional driver. No problem for the 200. The ACE driver works, but the company is out of business. If that's the problem, maybe someone on the list can help.

I wonder were all these (hundreds or thousands) of palmtops have gone, especially because every one had a flash card in it. I cannot remember if they were 100LX or 200LX. The software was DOS based and written by a (palmtop power user) conductor himself, as one of the conductors told me when he saw me working with my palmtop.

I used one of these cards for a LONG time and found that regular DOS format gave me a 2 MB disk and the special program gave me the 6 MB. I can dig it up, if you can't find/don't have it ÝI think I got it last in a web search¨. I forget the parameters BUT remember, if you type the command SMFORMAT from its directory Ýor it's in the PATH¨ WITHOUT any additional instructions or parameters, it returns a short set of instructions. You can use various switches and parameters to specify the size you want Ý2-6 MB¨ and the MAX amount of files you'll be permitted in your root directory. It's an odd card and the file limitation in the root directory sometimes caused me to corrupt the whole thing, I imagine that it uses a compression scheme of some sort, but the modem *sips* power! I used to go onto CIS for huge lengths of time .... 'Course you ARE at 2400bps.... Don't totally rely on it to keep data ÝI corrupted things quite often¨ and kept a small, reliable 2MB card w/ the drivers, etc. on hand for the SMART card (so I could recover in the field). I found my old Compaq Laptop w/ win 3.x, CardSoft PC Card support etc. could recognize w/ the card as memory and it was a wonderful way to me to quickly port. my LX back-ups to my HDD. I've both upgraded PC Cards (and laptops) and found that I can't convince Win98 to recognize it; so I don't use mine much anymore.

Either you have a 100LX, and the friend's flashcard is NOT a compact flash, but an older Linear Flash card. If this is the case, then you need the Acecard driver for your 100 to recognize the ATA type compact flash. The other possibility is that your palmtop is haunted.

In addition, you can set it up so all of this is toggled on/off with the F3 key from the main status screen. One more thing, rather than use alot of commas it recognizes a semicolon and pops up a dialog at each one to allow you to continue dialing. All of this is setup in a Locale record. Once you receive your manual, have a look at the "dialing gymnastics" section. For now, move from field to field and read the "Hint" for each field. The way the "Dialing order" field works is this: You order the letters PNCS in the order you want the fields dialed. The letters stand for "Prefix, Number, Card, Security-pin". This allows you to handle billed cards (usually dialed *after* the ISP) as well as prepaid ones (usually dialed first, then a pin, then the isp #). The dialing options in GP are *very* flexible, and should be able to handle most dialing situations. If you have any questions, please email me (preferably at the support address). Hopefully your manual will arrive soon and help too. Oh, you can split your calling card between the card and pin fields if you need more room too. > Hi > > Has anyone used GP from a phone (i.e. hotel room) where a long dial string > including a credit card number was needed.

The only slight problem I had in getting it to work was having to increase the timeout value in my www.cfg when waiting for the login prompt (in the Pipex script) - don't know why that was necessary, as it worked fine with my other 9,600 bps modem. Just for the fun of it, I cranked up the baud rate to the maximum 115,200 in WWWSetup and surfed away using WWW/LX. To cut a long story short, it was *fast*! While I appreciate that the actual baud rate was presumably considerably less than 115,200 bps, it was certainly a pleasant change after using 9,600 bps! -Mike ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 13:53:12 +10 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Alain Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alain Subject: Re: Double Slot/Speed Comments: To: "R.

There is no real loss from what I can tell from my 32 meg doublespeed. Depending on how much I use a modem and flash card I get anywhere from 9 to 24 hours on 1300 mAh NiMHs, if I let them get low (stay below 2.40 volts). On a single speed 2 meg I would get 8 to 14 using the same type batteries. I charge them to 150% capacity in the 200LX and recharge whenever. Did you make sure you conditioned the batteries when you first started using them by giving them a couple deep cycle charges to let them reach their full capacity? You need to do that with all nickel metal hydrides and Nicads. Of course if you use them they will deplete but 2 hours a day does not seem like much (you will only drain your battery at the most a quarter which will take about 4.5 hours of charge to replenish) unless you are leaving a pcmcia card in the slot and its not kicking into sleep mode like a modem or network card. Maybe you are undercharging them and they won't hold a good charge now. In that case do a couple deep cycles. Don't overcharge them though.

I have also seen utilities which will convert csv files into adb or gdb files at the supersite (www.palmtop.net). Why wouldn't this be a quick and painless way to convert the appointment file? It seems to me that a batch file or macro recorder could automate the steps on the desktop, then a utility like Transfile can move it down to the 200LX. When I get a chance to try this, I will post my results.

I hadn't realised that they had stopped using the LX's on the trains. As far as I know they are still being used - I get comments from conductors every time they go past and I am using mine. I tell them I am writing emails on it and they think that's amazing though they are very proud of the software they use on theirs as well. Anyway - I will have a poke around and find out what the story is. If they are being phased out (which is probably more likely than a bulk replacement) then I will try and find out what is happening to them. I must admit though, I would be surprised if they were 100/200 LX's and not 1000CXs seeing as they are only being used to run a proprietary piece of software.

Very cool but highly unlikely. The closest thing to a Linux palmtop would be an IBM pc 110 booting from flash with a minimal Linux install. From what I read, this configuration still draws too much power for a fair comparison to the LX. The closest we'll come to on the LX is Minix. It's a small unix made for small machines. Some of the "really smart guys" on this list are working on it. However, Minix will still be pretty limited because of the lack of apps. It does come with a development environment so maybe some apps can be written/ported. Until someone comes out with a really low power 386 chip we'll just have to keep on dreaming. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Dowell Ýmailto:sdowell@HARRAHS.COM¨ Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 1999 11:13 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: ÝHPLX-L¨ Linux...

If Thaddeus is out of 1000CXs, my next bet would be to try Mr. Palmtop/The One Stop Palmtop Shop (http://www.mrpalmtop.com). They advertise new HP 1000CX / 2MB RAM Palmtop PC, model F1222A at $429.95 ea.with no mention of negative availability. However, you may be able to get 200LX 2MBs at that price, especially if you are making a bulk purchase of four units at once. A search at PDA Page (http://www.pdapage.com) turns up the following: OnSale (http://www.onsale.com) lists them at $365.30 ea. with no mention of negative availability. TechStore (http://www.techstore.com), Calico Software (http://www.calicosw.com), and CMP Express (http://beta.cmpexpress.com/store/start/index2.html) all list them in the range $360-$400 *BUT* they are out of stock/on backorder at this time.

As a result I may have forgotten some of the details of this, as I did it some time ago. Basically, I create a *.CDS file containing appointments I want to add to my HP. This is a CSV file with "Date","BeginTime","EndTime","AlarmTime","Description".... (details may be wrong, but the idea is right). Xlate is set to specify a CD->200Lx translation, picking up the fields in order. This converts the .CDS file into an .ADB, and I then use a Merge step to merge this .ADB into my regular APPT.ADB It all works pretty easily, except for the fact that Xlate is quite mysterious about errors, pretty much saying `You're Screwed' (not literally, but you get the idea) when it encounters something wrong. I counter this by having the Perl program that writes the .CDS file be pretty careful, and do some error checking on its own before trying to write the .CDS. As you can see, it's by no means one-stop-shopping, but it does work well enough to be useful and isn't enough trouble to cause me to try to do any better. Hope that's what you wanted...

I recall reading in the original press release announcing the 1000CX (available on CI$ HPHAND?) that it was intended to be sold in large lots, to corporate clients. The idea was that these corporate clients could then develop their own custom applications to load them with, then deploy the units for their staff to use, or re-sell them in specialized, vertical markets. It may even be the case that HP only built them in lots, when they had an order to fulfill. I suppose it's possible that the odd dealer bought 1000CXs in a lot, and sold them individually as-is. But it's likely that few new ones are available for sale now, and most used ones were once corporate equipment turned over to the employees. How about it, List members? Who has a 1000CX, how did you get it, and whose has the most recent serial number?

I probably should have been a bit clearer. I was fishing for the Sandisk 48mb CF card specifically because a poster had earlier commented on a significant savings in power consumption compared to the SimpleTech 40mb flash card that both of us had (something like doubling the battery life). No doubt the TDK CF would also work in my 200LX, but I'd like to know how it compares to the Sandisk (and my SimpleTech) in terms of power usage. I don't want to get a great deal, but end up no better than before in terms of battery life. - Longden "Peter W.

They are quite small, 90 mm (w) x 90 mm (d) x 30 mm (h), and self-powered by their own bank of four AA batteries. On the back they have a female D-sub 25-pin connector. The manual states they provide a centronics interface through a D-sub 25-pin male connector and cable to a parallel interface connector (Amphneol 57-40360). The infrared specifications are given as peak wavelength: 900 to 1050 nm with a sub-carrier of 500 khz. They are supposed to interface with the OZ-9000 organizer at a distance of between 20cm and 80 cm. Probably the SHARP ASK protocol? Power consumption is .086 Watts. There is an external connection for a 6 V dc external adaptor (accessory) but an operating time of 200 hours with alkaline batteries is claimed. Weight with batteries is 175 g. I bought one with the idea of a fast printer connection to my parallel only Diconix portable. Anyone have any ideas as to whether such a lash-up can be made to work? Also any interested parties in having me pick up one, as there are still several l in the bin. I opened min up and peaked inside but really have no idea what I was looking at. . .the board appeared fairly simple, probably an asynchronous translater of IR to digital.

Netscape Calendar already does file import/export with the HP LX! For those not commandeered into Outlook, this is a very viable solution; I recommend you look into the Netscape calendar system. Unfortunately, Netscape does not have the calendar application available on their Unix products, but the server does run on Solaris (and others, I believe).

David Ness said he has a perl solution utilising the merge xlate/facility. Sean Hoger said he has just about completed a utility to create a cdf file from outlook which would be compatible with the adbload utility. I could see that with the program automating the xlate/merge step, as well, this may be an option. Problems I can see: 1) David Ness says the xlate/merge is a little flakey at times, this is not good for automation. 2) Can the program "push" the keys for the connectivity software? I have done this before, but do not know if it can be done for a dos program running in a dos window. 3) The cost of the connectivity pack. If we where to tackle this correctly, and bypass the connectivity pack idea, we would need a full description of the adb file. Does anyone have these details? Could we get a group of coders to work together on this? Who would be interested in donating time/existing source code?

So I believe that this If I remember right, the application was written in 80x25 text mode. Should not be a big problem to rewrite it for use in the much better readable 64*18 zoom mode. If the IT departement needs technical assistance in how to do that, I would volunteer ;-) My last program LxTel runs in 64x18 text mode on the palmtop and in a centered 64x18 window within 80x25 on any desktop.

When the co went to NT I found that it would only work intermittently at 115k, always at 19.6k. I transferred the loaded program to the NT(rather than reloading from FFD) and that's the way it worked. Unfortunately the CO has the system locked out from any changes to the system setups. After your post, I started looking at the setup for CPack and found that if I closed everything that it worked fine at 115k.

What I said (or at least what I _meant_ to say) was that Xlate/Merge had poor error-reporting characteristics. If you screw up an entry it doesn't say much about what is wrong. For example if you gave it a time like "15:00" instead of "1500" it might just say `Blah" about the particular line. As a result of this, though, I _do not_ think that `this is not good for automation'. What I _do_ think is that you ought to build in some facility to `proof' the input records for correctness before handing them to Xlate/Merge. I have no idea what all of the rules of Xlate/Merge are, but I doubt if they are very complex. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 10:51:14 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bruce_Martin@MANULIFE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bruce Martin Subject: Re: 1000CX availability Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I received the following yesterday from M.

I had one of my previous palmtops that I got from the HP extended warranty exchange program, that had a extremly tight hinge. I was concerned that the case around the hinge would develop a hinge crack so I lubed the hinge with a drop of WD-40. This made opening and closing the hinge much easier. My plan was if the hinge got too loose, that I would try to reverse the WD-40 effect by using a drop of alchol on the hinge, but fortunatly the hinge never got too loose. The reason I choose WD-40 rather than silicon or light machine oil, is for its penitrating abilities. I found this to work very well, and posted a message to the list about what I did, and why.

A trial version available on Netscape servers, but it is about 17MB and it is limited to US customers only, if you take the 128-bit version (US Government worries about the Communist insurrection ... or some spying, or whatever...) The stuff works nicely, but I find their desktop calendar to be eh, well... "counterintuitive" is too mild, it is more like "user hostile" :) --- But the menus specifically mention HP 100/200LX and the ADB can either reside on the desktop itself (you shuttle it around with some connectivity) or directly on the palmtop (but you must be connected via serial, of course. The Magic version is not out yet! :) ...) It is a nice bonus, because it can also mean you can coordinate a workgroup's calendar, and I believe they even talk about being able to do it with remote users over the web... > commandeered into Outlook, this is a very viable solution; I > recommend you look into the Netscape calendar system.

Perl can be a bit tricky to master, especially if you don't know the C-like syntax. I'd suggest that the original poster start with SED (the Stream Editor) and Awk, to get aqainted with regular expressions (a _very_ powerful string manipulation tool) and, to some extent, the C-like syntax. Bear in mind that SED and Awk were designed specifically for scanning and altering text files and SED isn't really a programming language per seÝ*¨. Still, for the project the original poster described, Awk should be able to do it nicely, if slowly (but that's another matter). Awk and SED can both be on SUPER (www.palmtop.net). On the other hand, I'm sure the Rexx crowd would suggest Rexx. I have not had much experience with this programming language, but its Pascal like syntax may be easier to learn than Perl, especially if you already know BASIC. Both Rexx and Perl are neat and flexible programming languages and people are using both on the LX with great results. I don't know where you can find Rexx, though. There are several commercial Rexx versions that will run on the LX, and also free implementations. One is called BRexx and I'm sure one of the Rexxers will post a link to it... (Walter?) Ý*¨ Some may disagree on this. However, to all intends and purposes, SED shouldn't really be considered a programming language. I have seen complex programs, such as a calculator (SED doesn't have any arithmetic functions) written in SED, but it wasn't pretty and didn't serve any purpose other than prove it could be done :-) Cheers, Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 19:11:55 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Al Kind Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Re: Digital Camera and 200LX page (Came for DOS readme) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 02h01m35s ago ...

Well, Awk is "AWKward" if you ('you' not referring to anyone in particular) try to use it as a general purpose programming language. It is meant more as filter for text-files, and for this it performs quite well, providing a fast way of accessing the data in these files. As with any language, Awk has its odd twists and skeletons in the closet, which you either love or hate. I cannot speak for others, but I went from BASIC/Pascal style languages to SED+Awk and then to Perl and C(++). Knowing Awk before I tried Perl was helpful to me, but it may not hold true for others. Looking back, I have only used Awk once since I started using Perl... As for regular expressions, they are such an integrated part of Perl that they're hard to avoid I think, but perhaps you are right and they are not the first thing you should concentrate on when learning how to program.

They are DesignSoft. So I thought to go to their office again and did that. I must tell, that I have visited them about 5mo. before and they promised all kind of written stuff and pricing info postal mailed to me. Well, I never got anything. This time they told me that program should cost app. 80USD (IMO it's ridiculously overpriced) and will be sold direct to overseas (US) customers, payment via credit card - if there are at least 12 or so interested people. They mumbled some stupid sentences about that they need time to produce new Palmtop Circuit software packages, etc. They again promised to call me back two weeks from now, when boss returns from abroad. I will keep you informed. I would appreciate a short e-mail from those who actually may consider buying Palmtop Circuit, so I know what to tell them when conctacting them next time. However, have you considered that even if you can buy PaCi (btw, this is children's word for horse in hungarian language), you are likely to get no user support or any uprades for your money? Practically what you get is the physical data storage (3,5" diskette) and a sheet of licence paper, plus manual. Does it worth buying? Sincerely: Tamas Feher PS: I have an idea, that might be interesting for you; when running CPU-intensive, but non-interactive tasks on the LX. Circuit Simu is just one such field. So, I think someone should write a TSR version (terminate and stay resident) of the routine found in Haruya's LxMidi player. That is for turning off LCD (detach from bus) for 7% CPU power boost. I am aware of an LCD on/off program, found on SUPER. But that is not TSR. I guess, the TSR could be used this way: Start PaCi or PSpice, enter data, work with files inter- actively, set the circuit analyzer prog to beep when it will finish running the job, run the session, press TSR hotkey to turn off LCD, leave the LX alone 30-45min. while it works (it can take this long!), then it beeps, press hotkey to wake up LCD and go on. What you get is reasonably less running time, maybe up to 4 minutes spared for a session. Probably the existing code-piece from LxMidi is quite easy to modify to be TSR for an experienced programmer.

TIPI was on a PTP disk a few years ago. I think the author's name is Kent Peterson. Maybe you could find it on palmtoppaper.com or SUPER. It's a nice Forth-like language with some features from Basic. It ran a little slowly on my old single-speed 100LX. Haven't tried it on a 2x machine. This is getting away from the original post re string handling, but I'm partial to Forth. There's a version called HP-Pygmy on SUPER that has a lot of palmtop-specific enhancements. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 09:31:28 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Terry Owen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Terry Owen Subject: Tipi (Was RE: Programming for non-programmers?)

Note that the new version 3.0 of PAF for DOS will not run (reportedly) on the 200LX. It requires a 286+. Which is too bad, really, because it has a much better interface than the 2.x series, which is not available anymore. I could be wrong about 3.0 needing a 286, but that's what I've heard... anybody have better news? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 07:56:44 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Programming for non-programmers?

I questioned this and he reacted very firm and said this was due to the more sensitive flash memory of this modem. - Could not verify it yet. My LX goes always through the x-ray (several times every month), nothing noticed; nevertheless I do not let the modem go through. (May be it is more often found on asian airports?)

In the meantime I have got a 1414 LXM (8 MB, favourable offer from Mobile Planet) myself. Since however the vendor here (largest portable shop in the Funan Center, which is one of the two big IT shopping centers in Singapore) seemed very serious about this (he did not try to sell me anything else and only explained the details after being asked) I take no chances. If I recall it correctly he mentioned that his customer complaints were linked to x-ray machines in Vietnam and China. He did mention that the memory became so corrupted that it could not be restored by a simple backup (which he referred to both the more sensitive memory as well as particularly strong x-rays). Although I still have my doubts my consequence is: the lx passes via the machine, the card openly in the box. ... unquote I was later told that not the x-ray should be the problem but rather strong magnetic fields generated by some - mainly older - machines. Really do not know but trust the dealer that there is an issue - which seems to be confirmed by your case. Hope this shed some light - even if it cannot help. Kind regards Hermann Michael Blum (As an introduction to the list: I have been a lurker here for more than a year by now - bought my first lx in 94, operate now 2 Ýa 200 when at home and a 700 when on business trip, which is currently nearly every week for 2 days or so¨, am totally depending on them, missionaried recently two colleagues into buying new ones Ý200LX, couldn't get them in Singapore, although still produced here, which was denied by the Singapore HP staff who tried hard to convince me that the CE machines are way ahead¨, benefitted tremendously from this list Ýand the Compuserve one¨ but hardly ever get to read the messages so in time that it is not too embarrassing to answer by then if I really find an issue where I think I could contribute something meaningful.) ---------- > From: Ronald Fenton > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU > Subject: airport xray machines and data loss > Date: Wednesday, February 17, 1999 7:19 PM > > A recent exposure to airport xray machines appears to have partly > scrambled my EXP 1414 modem/data card (including deleting wwwlx), > caused my HPLX doublespeed to require rebooting, and scrambled some off > my config files on my laptop (Sony Vaio).

There is a Personal Rexx for Dos demo around somewhere (Quercus??) - it'll only run 50 lines of code and the full package is expensive (IMO) but is good for experimenting. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 11:52:47 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: Perl (Was RE: Programming for non-programmer) Comments: To: Terry Owen MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My Perl is much too old for me to have any idea of where I got it, other than to assume it was probably CPAN, or possibly from a CDRom in an early Perl Book.

Nor can I do DIR B: and get a listing of my flashcard, even though that's what *should* happen under DOS. Hmn. A reboot reveals a brief message to the effect that "The device driver loaded two drives - A: B:" What device driver? I don't see anything in my config.sys or autoexec.bat that should generate a message like that. There must be something in the palmtop's ROM, perhaps in the PCMCIA driver, that overrides the normal DOS startup. (I wonder how this affects those folks working on booting their palmtops into Minix.

Let me expain: The loggin facility in WWW/LX Plus is for DEBUGGING. It is there so that IF we cannot figure something out we can ask the customer to generate one. What it is not: It is not something that should automatically be run if you have troubles!!! I found that the vast majority of logs I get is TOTALLY USELESS. There is almost NEVER ANY useful information in them. In the vast majority of the cases it is a waste of time, bandwidth, bits, etc. In all cases where a customer sent a log voluntarily (i.e. we did not ask for it), the log is useless, and gives no additional information, and the solution is elswhere. In most cases when _we_ asked for a log, we had specific reasons and needed to see confirming evidence. That is useful for us. Soooooo - Please, good people, please forget about logs. I will ask Andreas to take out the code and so no logs can be generated in the future, since it is a vast source of waste of time for the customers, for us. It also gives a terrible false sense of "solution" to customers, when the problems are located in other places. That is also a waste of their time. I will also try this out: Anyone who sends logs in is going to the bottom of the queue :) .... You see, since the stuff is sent, we gotta look at it, gotta spend time on it, just to find that it is not useful, that there is no information in it to help out. So it means problems accompanied by logs will take MORE time to deal with, so we will put them off and push them to the back of the queue. How about it? :) Not really, I won't do it, of course! But in truth, I am totally unamused by the waste of the customer's time, and the waste of our time - it is totally unproductive. Please let us ask you for the log - don't just shove a useless log into our faces - it makes our life harder, and it means we can help you less. But I am serious about Andreas removing the code to make logs. We hardly ever use them, and it the cases where this is useful, we can somehow engineer it. So, thanks!

If you look at the program called zipray you'll see what I think is an elegant method. Zipray uses zip and list to view text files in a zip archive. If we had a HTML viewer that could accept input from we could adapt zipray to that purpose. Another possibility is to write a program from scratch that would manage HTML files in a zip archive that would create temp files, view them with hv and then erase them. The one problem with both of these is that you'll need files that have only links to themselves but no other files. That excludes the majority of HTML files. We would have to write a program that's smart enough to read the file that it is decompressing and follow the links of other files to decompress..... Ah, screw it.

We (Thaddeus Computing) worked long and hard to get permission from HP to reproduce both the manual and the SDK. The SDK had been held up for about nine months and it looked like it was not going to be released. (This was during the Corvallis to Singapore transition). We finally persuaded the powers that be for us to be the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the SDK. We subsequently produced it on paper and later on our CD Infobase. Jorgen and his team further refined it for use with HV on the Palmtop (1999 CD Infobase). HP let us scan in the 200LX manual for the CD Infobase. In return they got a number of CD's and the text file itself which HP wanted. (The original version was produced in some obseleted layout program.) Probably no significant harm is done (and maybe even some good happens) to us and HP with the postings, which is why I hadn't said anything. However, I don't really think it is right or legal.

I believe that these are two different cases. Everyone who has purchased a new HP200LX (and most people who have a used one) (and haven't sold it) owns a copy of the manual. If you own the manual, it is certainly fair use to copy it for use on the palmtop. You could also have a friend produce it for you. Posting it would only damage HP's copyright interests if 1) people who did not own an LX (and therefore the manual) were accessing the file. That doesn't seem too likely. Or, if 2) HP wanted to market an electronic version, distribution of a competing unit might be an infraction of their interest in the electronic edition. While there is a possible technical violation, I can not see how HP could prove damages. Now, if HP as that the maverick files be pulled, I think that should be respected, but even in that case I believe that distribution of the file directly to known owners of the paper copy would not be actionable. The SDK is a completely different issue, since it is entirely likely that people who do not own the paper copy would download it. Only direct distribution to known owners would be safe. At least that's my opinion. I could be wrong. Lynn M.

The quality of your telephone line can very for day to day, and connection to connection. The server that you are contacting may be very busy. There are occasions when even the T1 connection at my office takes significant time. For instance, the day the Starr Report was released even very high power servers were downloading either slowly or not at all because of the constant hammering. More recently, downloading income tax files to my 166 MHz OB800CT over a 56K modem was slower than some instances with a previous 14.4K modem downloading unpopular files at odd hours. Moving to a faster modem just widens one of many bottle necks. Lynn M.

As for the price, I'm afraid I really can't remember - but, being in the UK, it was probably fairly high... maybe around UKP150 (???), which would probably be ths supposed equivalent of US$150! I might, however, be way off there! A couple of bad points, however. Firstly, Hayes have gone bankrupt (again), so I'm not quite sure how wise it would be buying from them at the moment. Also, I've noticed that its power consumption might be too much for the palmtop - after under half an hour of use, the LCD screen went noticeably faint. Another time, running on mains power, I couldn't turn the palmtop on with the modem inserted. When I removed the modem, the HP had reset and gave the "Exiting Backup mode" message.

It seems to be working, but you are not finished yet. Now, you have to actually make drive and printer connections using the net utility. This only has to be done once as the program will save your mappings for the next time you log in. If you don't see any available connections in the net utility, then you don't have file and printer sharing turned on at your Win95 box. You will need to do this first before you can do the mappings on your 200LX. Then, you can map as many drives and printers on the 200LX as you have available on the Win95 machine. This will work for anything shareable: zip drive, hard disk, floppy, CD-ROM, printer, etc. -- Mitch SUPER Team ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 11:38:43 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "L.

I move transactions to and from my 200 into and out of outlook all the time with simple CSV files. The Xlate/Merge facility in CPACK is sufficient to handle all of this, once you figure out the formats for the sub fields like date and time (easy enough to do from both products by just experimenting with a couple of appointments.).

I bought my Dslot almost a year ago and don't need the patch, or it makes no difference if I use it. My late reply probably means you've already tried your iuntended setup. I'd be interested to know how it went. I had troubles with wwwlx 2.0 using flash as the storage space with a modem in the double slot - seems like something to do with timing of the PCMCIA read/writes. No combo of CIC drivers or that DS patch helped - though I think I remember nettamer working ok. I hold out hope that the latest version of WWWLX might fix the prob. All in all I am pleased with the doubleslot. Makes a nice place to dock the lx. Something I'll mention but not recommend is that the lx and doubleslot, while powered only by the lx on the ac adaptor will actually spin up and run my pcmcia hard drive for 5 min before screen fade!

I liked what you said about "letting you down on your busiest day"...computers and Murphy's Law seem to go hand-in-hand for me also, so simple works better for me. Clearly, YMMV depending on your mix of apps and the resources you have available (RAM and disk space), so I'm perfectly content with someone else saying SC is "bullet-proof"...maybe for them and the way they work, but not for everyone. Intelligent users will pick and choose the tools that gets the work done and toss the rest. That's why the one common link here is that little gray box (regardless of what else is in it). - Longden Mikhail Epelbaum on 02/20/99 11:24:01 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Mikhail Epelbaum To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/WL/Candle) Subject: Endless setup - rhetorical I have given a workout to Software Carousel and seem to have to retire it. The memory constraints are just too severe. While it is convenient to have all the important software at hand all the time, dealing with the consequences of a major crash is a nuisance. It's almost like Windows environment - seems stable, then lets you down on your busiest day. It's actually not SC itself, but other programs that run out of memory. One of such crashes (caused by dBase) had even damaged doublespeed structures, with unpleasant sequelae. I've encountered the same problem in many different computers and software configurations. (And not just computers, come to think of it.) Things are nice and neat and smooth, until you give them a real business test. Then weak links begin to identify themselves, and eat you time. Am I the only one with such a jaundiced view? Am I asking too much - that software and hardware just work and let me do my business, instead of an endless setup procedure? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 14:55:38 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Darren Frick Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Darren Frick Subject: Re: program wanted Comments: To: Patrick West MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Folks, > >I'm not much of a programmer.

I think it is exaggerated by a lot! You'll probably find somewhat different values, but the most restrictive part of the test is that the palmtop CANNOT use the full 33.6 speed!!! Let's get real, it helps :) > Of course, the compression of a 33.6 > modem can work better. Really? You mean if I have a 1MB text file the 14.4 modem might compress it to 50%, but the 33.6 will get as much as say 80% compression? You cannot mean this, do you? Maybe you mean the 33.6 compresses faster? I doubt that this is a big difference, since it is done on a packet basis, and they are small relatiley, so your overhead in the process becomes an overwhelming part of the time. > But in real life you feel the differences only when > you download big files. HTML files and mails can be compressed by the modem. I beg to differ! I get 200 emails per day and compression or not makes almost no difference in time. Also, when compared to a similar monolithic d/l of the same size, i.e. 1MB file vs 500 messages of 2K each is not siginificantly different. The reason is that the Internet is not just a direct connection between your machine and the peer. Packets travel all over and take different routes, sometimes surprisingly circuitous. A message of 1MB can download rapidly, except one packet which is still being delayed somewhere on a server along the route. Until that one packet arrives, the 1MB download is not complete. Another such download immediately after the first can have COMPLETELY different routes and the timing will be completely different. So rather than measuring a monolithic download you want to measure a "representative workload". Yours will be different than mine. In addition, this workload measurement must be repeated many many times to account for all the craziness of Internet, the different times, and so on. All this means that the numbers we got are a nice idea, and they are fine to use. To make the assertion it is invalid and only a 1MB file transfer timing is, is a little out of whack: I rarely download such files! Avi M.

I bought SC donkey's years ago and it crashed (probably, I suppose, due to some stupidity of mine like changing something in one session when I forgot I had it open in another) and I realized that (1) It encouraged me to use it in some way that ended up being punished for; (2) I couldn't quite figure out what I would end up by being able to do, that I couldn't do otherwise and that I really needed to do; and (3) While it might add a tiny + by working perfectly, it had already added a huge - by screwing up, and I figured this would probably continue, for me at least. Perhaps I am intrinsically a `single thread' person. I tend to close things when I am done with them. I don't tend, I guess, to be using my Palmtop simultaneously for several things, and, on top of it all the HP200 (and I still have only a single speed) seems fast enough for the kind of things I use it for, so I don't mind ending one thing and then starting another. So, I third Mikhail's (and Longden's) observation. Let me offer a possibly related extension to chew on (I'm not sure if this is a corollary, or a lemma, or simply an unrelated observation) but I have also found myself giving up on attempts to stretch technologies (both hardware and software) far beyond their original intention. I went thru a period where I used \TeX for everything. I might even have tried to write a C-Compiler in \TeX. Given the flexibility and power, it is probably doable, but it sure would be a struggle. I went thru a period where I used APL for everything. Then there was my Psion-XP (long pre-Psion3) period. Then my HP48 period. Then my HP200 period. (You can tell how old I am because I have been thru so many `periods'). When my cable modem arrived, I was momentarily tempted to see if I could get my 200 to talk to it, but good sense prevailed and I simply did nothing until the urge passed. Lately I've been stretching fewer limits, and trying to use hardware and software of appropriate size and character to the problems that I face. I find it (1) less challenging; but (2) a substantial relief. Of course everyone's MMV... Longden Loo wrote: > > I largely agree.

Do you think, this is true too, if you have a POP3 connection to your ISP? Of course, if you use a Mailservice like Hotmail or gmx.net, it will travel on any route on the web. So Avi is true: If you use the Modem on the serial port, it doesn't matter a lot if you have a 14.4 or a 33.6, because the LX has no FIFO buffer. Especially if you use it mainly for mails. But if you use a PCMCIA-Modem or a PCMCIA-Serialport, it makes a big difference. Those will use a FIFO buffer. The FIFO buffer can hold data, while the LX makes an interrupt. If you have no FIFO buffer (like the serial port on the LX), then the datastream would be broken by the PC-hardware-interrupt (he has to do this interrupt while saving on the disk). Because the datastream breaks, the lost part has to be sent again. The data protocol interpretes this as a line problem and goes down with speed. As I remember, the save speed without FIFO is about 9600 bps. You can check any PC for example with MSD.EXE. Have a look on the serial ports. If it is a 8250, it has no FIFO. The 16450 and 16550 have a FIFO buffer. -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 11:09:09 +0100 Reply-To: Stephan Goeldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: Re: program wanted Comments: To: Darren Frick MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Basically the file uncompresses when accessed and then >re-compresses when closed.

I do have CPACK so converting the ADB files to CSV is no problem. My interest in the data structure format of the ADB file was to go directly to the format that Outlook desired. If I'm going to write a program, I might as well make it a one step process. (I still write small .exe files using Turbo Pascal from 1985. Since it was designed for the PC-XT with the 8087 processor, it still makes good code for the 200.) As I noted below, the numerical formats for date and time seem incompatible (though you seem to have overcome this hurdle). What are you doing to convert the date and time formats from 200LX to Outlook format? A routine in Excel perhaps? When I tried to import into Outlook, I was not successful. I'm assuming that it was because of the format mismatch.

I would never give it away for any reason and never had any problems using it, and I think I am a power user. It is like having 5 palmtops in front of you, each doing a different task. But instead of 5 palmtops it's all in one with hotkeys to switch to the different sessions. If I had any problems concerning SC in conjunction with other software, I would tend to replace this other software, but not SC. In one session I have constantly running WWW/LX, the second important program, I would never give up. I could give up all built in applications and replace them with other similar software, but not these two!

If it does not work or loss of characters occurs, then this is due to the software, serving the serial port and not the hardware. I am sure about that because I see transfers rates at 115200 baud every day using Eric Meyer's ZIP transfer program. I can download a 1MB file to the palmtop in 90 seconds. This is very close to 115200 baud and even includes saving the file to disk. Serial port transfer programs must: 1) put the serial port into interrupt mode 2) use a transfer protocol Point 1) assures, that the computer interrupts any running program when a character is available and calls an interrupt service routine to put the received character into a buffer prepared by the software. Point 2) assures, that once the buffer is filled, the software can say to the sending end: please stop for a moment, I have to write my buffer to the disk. I'll inform you when I'm done. This is also called handshake. Various forms of hardware and software handshake exist. That this works is proven by the above mentioned assembler program ZIP and several other communication programs I wrote in my profession as a programmer. However if a program is written in C or a worse lanuage ;-) it is possible that the interrupt service routine which has to put the received character into the buffer, takes so long, that another character is already available before this service routine saved the previous. Then indeed you loose (overrun) characters and have to use a lower speed in order to give the service routine more time. NOTE: The service routine has to be supplied by the software which wants to use the serial port in interrupt mode, it is not built into ROM! It is ABSOLUTELY crucial, that this routine is optimized for SPEED, which can only be done in ASSEMBLER if your hardware is not at least a 486! The code overhead of a C program compared to an optimized assembler program can easily be at a factor of 10, meaning the C service routine takes 10 times as long as necessary. Hope this clarified some things!

Reading .ADBs is difficult (because of all kinds of complexity associated with recurring events, etc. IIRC) and writing them is (nearly) impossible---one wrong bit here or there and you can freeze your 200 dead in its tracks. Also, making things a `one step process', while understandable at one level, is usually a bad idea. The more each piece of software does, the more likely it is to have to change when *anything* changes. I'd do things in several steps, but then time them all together with a .BAT or something to make it easy on the people involved, but allowing the various pieces of software to each focus on their narrow tasks. Restructuring text fields is the core of what PERL is all about. Larry Wall's original problem, IIRC, was just this kind of incompatability across several different `systems administrator reports' that he wanted to merge into consolidated reports. PERL makes recognition of `fields' easy, and makes modification of the fields according to rote rules easy as well. Of course, there are myriad other possibilities. AWK would work. SED would probably be ok. EMacs could certainly do the job. Most BASICs would not have a very hard time with it. APL, J and K could actually do the restructuring as well, although it would be a bit more obscure. In any event, I use PERL for this particular step. Sidebar: A couple of comments on HP200/Outlook might be relevant just for perspective. Moving my current appointment list .ADB from the HP into Outlook takes 15 seconds on my Dell 200 to go from .ADB into CSV (.CDS). My process takes 4 seconds to produce the 127k file ready for Outlook. Outlook takes 41 seconds to load the items. I have 1455 items in the current file, in an .ADB of about 130k. Total time 1 minute, but adding the (few) keystrokes to move from step to step makes it really take about a minute and a half. As time passes I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with Outlook. I have no idea of how it organizes information, but at the moment I have about 380k in current and historical .ADBs and a 90K name and address file. I keep my past calendars in appropriately named subfolders in Outlook (`1995', `1996', ...) Somehow this appears to translate into an 18mb (yes, 18 megabyte!) .PST file. I have no idea what causes this apparent inflation from less than 0.5meg of raw data, but it troubles me, and makes me realize that in the long run I don't like to count on things that behave in ways that surprise me. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 12:59:47 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: OutLook beta testing Comments: To: "L.

I have used \TeX for years in such situations, but I *would not* recommend it, as it is too complex for what you'd get out of it in this kind of case. My personal evolution with calendars has taken a different turn of late. I have tried (sometimes only very briefly) lots of calendar-related programs (Time & Chaos, Zoot, Agenda, Ecco, Above & Beyond ...) and have found them all wanting in important dimensions. I now keep the `definitive' copy of my calendar in, of all things, a text file which I then `blow out' to my HP200, my PalmPilot, my Libretto, Outlook, ... Since the base file is simple Ascii, I write all kinds of random remarks into this calendar, and I find that being able to recover them from the `past' is a nice feature. > L.

This is something I'd like to understand because I would hate to be passing up opportunities to do somthing that would be useful, just because I am ignorant of the possibilities. Both of you mention WWW/Lx, and clearly use your 200 for communications. I can well imagine how having this up while you were doing other things could be useful, particularly if you had any spare machine cycles available after handling the COMS (do you, by the way?). However, I usually `connect' with a cable modem (1Mb+) and _never_ connect at less than 57kb even if I have to use a phone, so I'm not tempted to use my 200 for this. So I suppose one reason for finding it useful goes away in my case. What other processes are you likely to have open at the same time? I would guess that 2/3 of the time that my HP is `awake' I am in DOS editing a file, running a piece of PERL code or playing around in the J or APL interpreters. The other 1/3 of the time I am in Appointment Manager or in the Phone Book---although my cellular phone now means that I use the phone book less and less, and I don't find much natural `crossover' between these tasks.

I was going to stay out of this as these discussions tend to just go round and round but when someone as reputable as Stefan wades in then I have to say something :-) I had the misfortune to be one of the first users of S/C. When Sunshine Software first released the software for the palmtop I and a few other Compuservers were the first customers. The product was less than reliable but after some unofficial `beta testing' (we had paid for the product) it became much more stable. Since that time I have had little or no trouble with the program provided that I do not try to squeeze the memory resources too much. I currently run five sessions on my 32MB D/S 200LX and switch frequently between them. Closing and opening applications in a serial fashion without S/C is not an option. I beta test for D&A and two of my sessions are devoted to their products. Being able to use S/C to close down one of those sessions (Andreas occassionally makes coding mistakes) while maintaining the others has been most useful. Once every few months I will close down S/C and check my disk for lost clusters/files etc but this is usually a pointless exercise. S/C is the single application that most permits me to continue using the palmtop on a daily basis. Oh and I think I am a power user too!

But you seem to imply that the added commands I listed are somehow beyond the capabilities of the 200LX, a point I think many of use would disagree with - I certainly do! The OPEN and USER commands are simply allowing manual access to functions that already exist, and I can't image that adding a simple MORE capability would tax the palmtop too greatly. I guess I'm saying that I accept without reservation your conclusion (no new commands), but reject your reasoning. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

I could not imagine using my palmtop without it. I have 200 running in one session, allowing access to appointment book, phone book, and Lotus 123, all of which I need at the drop of a hat. In another session, I have WWW/LX running. This allows me to switch between reading/writing mail, and organisation tasks at two keystrokes, and more importantly, I do not loose my current task in either session. I then have other less important stuff running in other sessions, like geo clock which shows a map of the world, with the daylight and night areas. Also a local map in another session.... I think the most important thing is having the memory to run SC effectively, I have 32mb, and 2x speed upgrade. Anyway, for some it works, and others it doesn't.

In my field, there is very little DOS software left, (everyone uses you know what...). And paying agencies keep changing their data submission requirements, so you can't just stay with an old package. The heavy accounting/billing package I use wants 75 files in config.sys, I'm sure this is the one that strains palmtop resources. It runs OK on 200LX, but add the additional overhead of SC and, after a while, there's trouble, always with other applications, when they attempt a new task. In this context, the added convenience of SC is an illusion, much like the famous "ergonomic graphic interface". I am not a power user - I don't even want to be one. I do something else for a living.

I have an inventory database on the palmtop. Well, that's sort of true, except for the fact that it lives in a couple of 1-2-3 spreadsheets (one of which dates from my days as a 95LX user), a couple of GDB databases, and a dBase-format database that is where new entries go (and where the other stuff will go someday, converting the data would be some work and some of the stuff needs re-inventorying besides); that latter database is maintained with Alpha Four and FoxPro (eventually just FoxPro). Sometimes, while I'm entering inventory records, I want to look at the information in the older databases, or I want to look up something in my phone book or appointment calendar, because it helps me remember when I got the thing I'm inventorying or where or who I got it from. Without SC, I'd have to save and quit the MS-DOS database application, exit MS-DOS or restart SysMgr, look up the information I want in the SysMgr database(s), then close SysMgr apps and get back to MS-DOS, restart the database application, get back to the record I was working on, and resume working. I tried this for a while, with MaxDOS. It worked, but it was a pain to go through all that, and it provided plenty of room for error. SC lets me accomplish the same end but faster, plus saves me having to go through the extra steps to switch applications and remember where I was and have to get back there. Seems trivial, doesn't it? But this is the one big time-and-sanity saver that makes SC worthwhile to me. -Frank McConnell ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 21:53:04 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Word Processing I'm curious as to what the most popular/most used word processing software is for use on the LX?

Several people around me use Outlook, and I have successfully used Perl to move Outlook-exported contact lists into the 200LX. I agree with your ideas about how to go about it. I have not attempted to go the other direction, but it should be even easier since there are many fewer fields to hassle with. And I haven't had the need to do it with the calendar. But if anyone wants my Perl code, let me know. I doubly agree with your uneasiness regarding Outlook. I installed Outlook 98 on my notebook last month, and it took me about two weeks to finally get frustrated enough to dump it. It was slower than I could believe software could be (I hear Outlook 98 is much much slower than the previous Outlook). When you reply to messages and choose the "> " style of quoting, it breaks each line into two unequal-length quoted lines. While it was downloading messages (at least on our company's OpenMail), I could not use Outlook at all (like to read/compose). The address book is slow and cumbersome. The "rules" to sort incoming mail into folders didn't work as it seemed obvious they should. And on and on... Having a program which integrates e-mail, a calendar, and contacts would be nice, but Outlook 98 seems to try to do too much. Boy, wouldn't it be nice to have software that's as intelligently designed as the 200LX built-in apps, in a Windows environment, with connectivity?

There is some consolation in knowing that it is not simple ineptitude or bad luck which has caused me to have the problems the we have both encountered. While I am by no means a MicroSoft `basher', I have come to believe that they generally build software that superficially looks wonderful but that often is conceptually *very* poorly thought out and quite likely to collapse under pressure. Outlook certainly looks wonderful in the 10 minute demo. But under the pressure of scale, and as I try to do more, I find more and more poor behavior and barriers to progress. As time passes I am ever astonished to find that as people run into the awful behavior of some of these MicroSoft programs, their attitude seems to be `guess I'd better get the latest version' rather than the `I think I'll dump this crap' that the software so richly diserves. Well, I guess there are a lot of people who never end up pressing any of the boundaries of these programs. That must be it. I suppose that also explains the phenomenal success of the Palms---which I find almost equally mysterious.

All the other programmes (POST/LX, GOIN' POSTAL, LXTCP) slow down the communication. I don't know the reason, but I've noticed that all of them are modular ones (have more than one component).

It's not my intention, of course, to harm the distribution of this programme, but if there are no suggestions, there will be no improvements, too. At this moment I'm using NETTAMER to download my mail, and POST/LX to read it and send it. To do that I use a small convertor of 11kb, that changes the header of the message so it can be compatible with the POST/LX. And here I am, caught in the middle,between the speed (offered by NETTAMER) and functionality (offered by POST/LX). So the question is not whether we need a faster modem, which would give us 16%, but whether we need a faster mail programme, which would give us 500%.

David, I am very interested getting a copy of any PERL scripts you may have written for 200LX to Outlook conversion. I used to program quite a bit of PERL a few years back, and I am converting my "base set" of appointments to Outlook, but still use the 200LX. Any enhancements or changes I would make to your scripts I would post back to this group. ...and another idea to bounce off the group... I am also starting a project to get my 200LX to interact with my Nokia 6160 cell phone. I hate to admit it, but I sometimes (frequently) do business in my car, and I am constantly having to look up phone numbers (more than the 199 that can fit inside the phone). I realize the danger in doing this, so I am investigating a way to allow the 200LX to control the Nokia for dialing, and to allow me to choose numbers without taking my eyes off the road. I am thinking about putting together a program which talks to me (similar to an IVR) using a program I found on the supersite, which would link to my contact database, and then send commands to the Nokia for dialing (I may need to add an external speaker to do this). I want the "send" interface to allow me to use a single keypress (i.e. spacebar) to cycle through the options, so I can feel for the key without taking my eyes off the road. I know Microsoft is working on a version of Win CE for cars to do stuff like this, and although I am quite familiar with VB, I think CE is a P.O.S. and am not much impressed with any of the CE handheld devices. I think most of the pieces to do this already exist and run fine in the DOS world, and can be cobbled together for a proof of concept. I recently bought some software and a serial data cable ($59) from Paragon Software (www.paragonsoftware.com) which allows the Nokia to connect to a desktop PC over a serial cable and synchronize its contact database with Outlook. the cable should work with the 200LX serial cable with a null-modem adaptor inserted. I plan on decoding the protocol with a serial protocol analyzer and use it with the 200LX to manipulate the phone (apparently Nokia is very tight-lipped about documenting the protocol without paying $$$ for the documentation). Any comments are appreciated! Am I foolhardy to try this! I may prototype this first in Perl (or Clipper), then convert to a compiled executable. My goal is to get it working on a 2MB 200LX with a flashcard to hold the phone database (not necessarily the built-in phone database, but possibly a dbf file), but I am not averse to upgrading the memory if I need to.

I mostly work remotely over a modem, and although I felt CC-Mail had its limitations, it still worked better in a client-server mode than outlook does over a slow phone line. I found a couple of switches in Outlook helped its performance: I turned off the automatic view pane where every time you highlight a new message header it automatically pulls the message up in the view pane. I set the autosave feature for open items to 0 (ie off) since every three minutes Outlook would go to sleep while I was trying to write a message.

Several people around me use Outlook, and I have successfully used Perl to move Outlook-exported contact lists into the 200LX. I agree with your ideas about how to go about it. I have not attempted to go the other direction, but it should be even easier since there are many fewer fields to hassle with. And I haven't had the need to do it with the calendar. But if anyone wants my Perl code, let me know. I doubly agree with your uneasiness regarding Outlook. I installed Outlook 98 on my notebook last month, and it took me about two weeks to finally get frustrated enough to dump it. It was slower than I could believe software could be (I hear Outlook 98 is much much slower than the previous Outlook). When you reply to messages and choose the "> " style of quoting, it breaks each line into two unequal-length quoted lines. While it was downloading messages (at least on our company's OpenMail), I could not use Outlook at all (like to read/compose). The address book is slow and cumbersome. The "rules" to sort incoming mail into folders didn't work as it seemed obvious they should. And on and on... Having a program which integrates e-mail, a calendar, and contacts would be nice, but Outlook 98 seems to try to do too much. Boy, wouldn't it be nice to have software that's as intelligently designed as the 200LX built-in apps, in a Windows environment, with connectivity?

First, FoneSync is about 1mb + about 2mb of .DLLs. While this is no direct indication of the `scale' of the problem, one can infer that there is some reasonably complex stuff going on. Second, the goal is pretty obscure anyway. Managing a 616x with the 200 can only be *harder* than doing it with something like a Libretto, and that would be tough enough. And a Libretto doesn't cost all that much more than the phone these days, and often costs less than a souped up 200. Third, the `dialogue' between the serial port and the 616x is pretty obscure, at least in the attempts that I made a while back to investigate this. My best guess is that figuring this out will be difficult, and that it will only be the first of many steps needed to establish useful communication. Finally, reading the 200 screen in a car is harder, for me at least, than reading my 6162 screen. I can read my 6162 in a dark car and I can find numbers on it without much difficulty with a couple of button presses. It would be much harder, IMO, to do *anything* with a 200. A better approach, it seems to me, if you don't want to dial directly on the 616x is to see if you can sign up for one of the services that will allow you to `dial' by voice commands. I understand they are becoming more widely available---although since I have no interest in this I haven't researched availability at all. If you succeed, of course, I'd be very happy. However, having read all of the Cellular/Nokia newsgroups for some time now, the number of discovered `secrets' for the 616x series is pitifully small, so I won't be holding my breath expecting success. figliozi wrote: > > ...and another idea to bounce off the group... > > I am also starting a project to get my 200LX to interact with my Nokia > 6160 cell phone.

Put your rubber band piece in place, put the latch piece on top of it. (The rubber band piece should be large enough to hold the latch up to a flat position, but soft enough to unlatch.

For Avi's info, QTEXT for Windows has a keyboard template that matches the DOS version pretty well. There are a couple of differences because the HP's keyboard does not duplicate a normal full size one. Also the Windows software has a list of keyboard commands, at least some of which are the same as the DOS program. (You can get this from the trial version available on the Web. If you cannot find it, let me know and I will try to extract the info and send it along. I'll be gone for a few days so it wouldn't be till the weekend.) One further question: I know that QTEXT for DOS can show either latin or Hebrew letters. Is there a way to set up the program so that the various commands, help files, etc are shown in English? My Hebrew knowledge is very limited, so I wasn't hoping to use the program for actual Hebrew word processing, but for copying some Hebrew text into the HP for inclusion into other documents.

Start the application with the "en" parameter: "qtext /en" on the command line, not just qtext which defaults to Hebrew. It will then appear in english. Press F1 for help in English. Press F10 to switch between English and Hebrew. To switch between English and Hebrew in editing use F10 and Shift F10 (for the cursor).

The link used by FoneSync *cannot* (to the best of the current knowledge I have been able to dig up) be used to perform phone functions. It can *only* be used to move phone data. That is why you need different cables to use the phone as a modem. So, if I were you, I'd make sure your #3 is doable before I spend one second worrying about anything else.

The cell B4 has a name, and that name is "\0", which is the special name of a cell you want to be a macro that executes at load. In the display line, it substitues range names for cell addresses where it can, but when you edit, you see just the cell address. I suspect you don't want this cell to be an auto-execute macro (since you're calculating with it), so turn that off by doing a ÝMenu¨ Range Clear, if I recall from my Lotus years. -Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 00:33:14 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Thomas A.

AT&F and see if that makes a difference.

    - the Comm config (only the com port changed, I used the default init string on

    - user setups (the directories for editor and download area were different).

Well, I'll try to make a small table. Software Carousel DOSShell Alarms wake up palmtop Yes Only in SysMgr Alarms will go off no matter what session the palmtop is in. Blue app keys open app from any session Yes No Pressing a blue app key will switch to the SysMgr session and open app. Runs specified files/batch on startup Yes No Allows automatic file/TSR loading in each session. Two key switching between sessions Yes No Shift-F1-F10, as opposed to Shift-Tab to cycle. Price $79+ Free There are more.. A bit minus for DOSShell being that it corrupts a graphic screen when you switch to it from another session. Easy to 'fix', but still annoying. Fix is to open another window (such as F1 if it opens a help window, then ESC out and everything is clear..) Alarms are a big plus for S.C., DOSShell can handle them with limitations using programs that pull the next alarm from the stack, but need to switch back to SysMgr to grab the next alarm, etc.. The menu key in DOSShell sometimes stops working. S.C. preallocates all required disk space for sessions, which is a plus and a minus. Minus is all that disk space is being unused if you're not using it (makes me wish there was a dynamic allocation option for little-used sessions) and plus is that you never have the darn error about not having enough disk space to swap to another already open session as DOSShell does. There are more..

Yup, and I considered responding as you did, but decided to wait and see if you would. Kazuhisa Terasaki (that is his name, right?) who works at Puma on their sync products told us that Puma has vowed only do WinCE and Pilot software from now on. Looks like we'll have to turn to somebody else to get a good Outlook sync program... although for my opinion on this, you can check out my "Humorous HPLX-L FAQ" under the question "Can I sync up my 200LX with Outlook 98?" Oh, one thing Kazu told me that was very interesting is that he has a site, www.smartbookmark.com, where you can bookmark sites in case you have multiple locations you use Netscape / WWW/XL / IE4 / whatever at.

Comments: To: Peter Maddern Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'll speak for Framework, since I've used it for a few years on my desktop (and now the LX... Framework-4). The database stinks. At least in comparison to the built-in LX database, and most modern ones. Lots of things you take for granted (like named subsets on the LX) or disk storage vs RAM (like Dbase or any real DB) are possible in Framework, but you generally have to code some of the features yourself (using the built-in language, FRED). Want to search a particular field for a string?....code a FRED function (tho the drop down menus do allow you to search the whole DB without regard to field). The out-of-the-box DB in Framework is similar to a spreadsheet, both in concept and execution. You can tailor the views (one record per row, one record per screen, etc), but there's very little to aid you in building radio buttons or selection lists, or more importantly to do the most basic queries without writing a FRED function to do so. In that sense (to me) it combines the worst parts of a GUI and a command interface. The GUI methods are so generic that they're almost useless, and the commands (FRED) are not even close to English-like. All of your database is in RAM. The great promise of Framework, way back when... was that it would serve as a front-end for Dbase (made by the same vendor), but for probably marketing reasons this never happened. There are functions that will allow you to access DBF files in FW, but even the recently mentioned DoDBF program (tiny) that Mitch mentioned does a better job at browsing and searching a DBF file than FW. FW's DB is good if: 1) you have a small DB (say 100-200 records) that partners with a spreadsheet or a document or 2) you really like to program a lot (in FRED) FW's strong suit has always been that the entire package is better than the sum of its parts. The ability to organize your data in an outlined structured method is a FW trademark that's hard to describe (or to beat...I still use it for any project of complexity...tho this is not the DB aspect). Aside from that, lots of people coded entire applications including turnkey DBs using FW as the foundation....it's possible, but be prepared...it's not for people who want gratification right out of the box. - Longden Peter Maddern on 02/23/99 12:18:16 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Peter Maddern To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/WL/Candle) Subject: Anyone heard of these?

I do it all the time, but mostly to get keys working again, not just to make those extra clikcking noises go away. Basically, you carefully remove the overlay, then carefully pry up the plastic keyboard underneath. You don't need to remove the whole thing-- just the part near the location you want to clean. Once you have enough room underneath, lift up the plastic overlay and clean the contact points and the plastic bubble above it with an alcohol-dipped cotton swab. Let it dry, and then reassemble the thing. Should be fine.

Basically, assuming it comes off nicely, you just put a thin screwdriver or something like that in near a corner and pry it up a bit, then peel it off by grabbing a corner. You don't need to take anything apart to get the keyboard off, although if you want the whole thing off it's sometimes easier if you take the bottom apart and push the pegs out of the holes. But just for cleaning, it can be done externally. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 19:01:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , CavalierLW@NSWCCD.NAVY.MIL Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Leonard W. Cavalier" Subject: Re: HP Omnibook 800? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I agree, the Omnibook 800 is about the best overall notebook computer package I have ever seen. Great balance of features and size/weight, very powerful subsystems, and that great keyboard! I had always admired the "packaging" of this series since it first appeared as the 300, I think. But it had always been way too expensive for me. When I somehow stumbled across the deal at Micro Warehouse, I coudln't help myself. At the time, they had sold out of the 800CT (P166MMX, TFT, etc.) for $1499 so I had to get the 800CS (P100, DSTN, etc.) for $1199. Four or five months later, I found out the 800CT was being sold again, this time for $999! Once again, couldn't resist. Too bad this form factor has been abandoned. A notebook this size with truly full-size main keys remains unmatched in the market.

Comments: To: tnemeth@COMPUSERVE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I think your problem with the COM port takeover has nothing to do with Win98, but all to do with the Storm Technologies Scanner. I have a "Smart Page Pro" from these folks, I went through some grief with the software installation as well. Turns out a program is installed to run automatically at startup (by shortcut placed in C:\Windows\ÝProfiles\User\...¨\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) that constantly monitors the port to which the scanner is supposed to be connected, so that anytime you place a page in the scanner it will automatically start the scanning software. In my case, that program is called "Watchdog." See if this or some other program you recognize is running by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and looking at the "task" list, and/or look for it in your Startup folder. Just take the shortcut out of your Startup folder and re-boot, and you should have control of your COM port back. (Vent follows) This annoying situation happens with the installation of many a device or program these days, especially scanners. I guess they are trying to make it easy for computer-clueless folks, but it irks me that I have to go on wild-goose chases to track down these miscreant installation monsters. It appears the manufacturers assume you are only installing their device or program on your computer and nothing else matters. And all for the sake of having a scanner start up when you insert a page, rahter than you first double-clicking on a desktop icon, let's say, to start the software? Good Lord! One thing that would be helpful - at installation, provide a button called "Advanced Options" where you are told what other things will be surreptitiously installed on your achine and give you the opportunity to say no. This way the average fool doesn't have to fret over installations questions he/she doesn't understand, but those who know can get more control. I guess such people are a very tiny minority of the consumer market, though. Finally, that Smart Page Pro is a nice color page scanner overall, but I realized after I bought it that the reason the scanning program always crashed when I scanned a regular 8 1/2 x 11 color page was that it only scans to 10" length!! The spec was on the box, but I didn't notice it. Who would have thought? Sorry if this should be posted to the Scanner annoyances list! |-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Nemeth ÝSMTP:tnemeth@COMPUSERVE.COM¨ > Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 1999 12:57 PM > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu > Subject: HP link to Win 98 - com1 problems? > > Hi Folks, > Longtime lurker taking a peek over the foxhole... > I have been exasperated trying to link my HP200 to my IBM Aptiva 333 PII > monster.

Started with a 95LX 1Mb seven or so years ago, now I have a 200LX 2Mb that I have been using for three or four years. My question - is there any way to stop the Appointment Book program from automatically saving the file after every little change? I frequently use some macros to shift things around, but they run slowly because, I surmise, of this autosave every time you make a change. The autosave is a nice feature most of the time, but if I could disable it temporarily while running macros to re-organize things it would be great. I seem to remember reading about this some time ago, maybe in an issue of the venerable HP Palmtop Paper? Thanks. And by the way - I own and have *tried* to use, in addition to the 95 and 200LX, an AST GridPad (Zoomer), an HP OmniGo 100, and a Casio A-11 (Windows CE - an absolute joke!).

This is the blurb: The database normally marks each changed record (either modified or deleted, but *not* added) as "garbage" on disk. The next database action that can be undone (either an add, delete, or modify), collects garbage in the file by moving the file around to collapse out the deleted space. For large files, this can take a long time. The database is smart enough to not bother collecting garbage if there is nothing to collect. In case you wondered, the purpose of the database garbage collection is to keep files small (which is normally desirable :-). FASTDB intercepts all calls to the database garbage collection, and forstalls them until the file is closed. Instead of multiple calls to compress the file throughout its use, you only suffer through one while closing the file. This has two implications. First and foremost is that until you close the file, the file will not be garbage collected! If you're changing a lot of records, or even a few on a large file, this can be an enormous time savings. The second implication is that for each change you make to the file, the file will grow. Since the "marked for dead" records are never packed out, your database files will slowly keep increasing in size until you close the applications using them. This probably won't be a problem, but you have been warned in case you are tight on space to begin with. - Longden "Leonard W.

I had the hinge crack appear a few months ago and I have lived with it and been careful during use. I was in two minds whether to glue or try to melt it back together. I decided not to glue and tested a heated up tiny screwdriver on an inconspicuous part of the machine. It worked perfectly. I used the heated screwdriver to melt the joint of the crack and pushed the two halves together with a pencil. I had to re-melt and re-model the joint to make it look half decent and smooth and to ensure that the repair went right into the full depth of the material. It is not as smart as before but it is solid and has saved me 180 ukp that was being charged by HP for the repair. The price of 180 ukp is fair but I am glad that I am saved that expense at least for the time being.

Works great for English as the center language, as it translates to French, German, Spanish and Italian, and back. On a flashcard I have installed the free version of the WINDI dictionary. Here, you can declare any language of 6 (the above plus portuguese) as the center language and get translations of all other 5 languages in one table. Collins normally has more words (though no Portuguese). For Umlaute you create the trema (2 point on top) with FN+u and then type the letter where you want the trema to go. O-Umlaut and A-Umlaut, though not U-Umlaut, you can create directly with FN+4 and FN+5. I never write EsZet and use double s. I think EsZet was banned anyway through the Rechtschreibreform.

Smith / Patti Smith" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Richard A. Smith / Patti Smith" Organization: Orion Enterprises Subject: PAF 3.0 on the Palmtop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all; Due to some inquiries that I have received about running Personal Ancestral File 3.0 on the HP 200lx palmtop, I am sending this message to all interested parties on the HPLX Mailing list (ie: If you're not interested, then stop here. ) BTW: If anyone would like to get the previous version of PAF, ver. 2.2, I can get it for you -- I'll have to check on the price. Version 3.0 is available at www.deseretbook.com for about $20 US. An extremely reasonable price for such useful program, if you're a geneologist! 1. System Requirements: The PAF 3.0m packaging states that the program requires a 286 processor. However, I am running it on the palmtop with its 80186 processor. Chances are that the processor requirement is simply an issue of speed. On my doublespeed 200lx it's not too bad. It also requires 2.5 MB disk space and 640K RAM. 2. Installation: The installation program sets an environment variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT so that PAF can find its configuration files more easily; it's: SET PAFCONF=d:\pafdir. Where "d:\pafdir" is the drive and directory where PAF is installed. I don't know whethere or not this is absolutely essential, but better safe than sorry. I installed PAF on my desktop computer (a Pentium, 133 MHz) and then downloaded it to my palmtop and configured it on both at the same time, so I could read, on the desktop screen, the things that where hard to see on the palmtop screen. (Which is a little bit of a violation of the license agreement, since it says "only one computer ... at a time", but very helpful for configuration.) Which brings us to: 3. Configuration: When you first enter PAF, it shows an introductory splash screen with version and copyright information. This will be a little hard to see on the palmtop, but just press enter. You are then brought to a list of data files to open. This screen is also a little hard to see, but it's easier to see the filename that is highlighted. The bad news is: these two screens will always be this way, and there doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it. The good news is that the rest can be configured as you like it. Once you've chosen a file (I recommend setting up a data file on the desktop before you download), you can press F6 and then Y to get the Utility Menu. Press enter on "Change Program and Printer Preferences", which, fortunately, is the first menu item. Press the down arrow 14 times to select Black and White under Color Options, then press Enter to select it and F1 to continue and F1 again to save. After this, you can go back in to the Utility Menu and change other options, since now they're much easier to see. The odd thing is that these settings seem to be saved in the data file, because you have to set these options again for each file -- which is a good reason to have as few data files as possible. But, the larger the data file, the slower it will be. That's the tradeoff. 4. Religious Affiliation (not that it matters here, but we're curious): I and some of the other LDS (ie: "Mormon") people on the list have been wanting to get together with other LDS 200lx users. I would also be interested to know the religious affiliations of non-LDS people who are using PAF. So please make yourself known by joining the newsgroup hp200.mormon at news.hplx.net or by sending an e-mail message to myself or to David Sargeant (david@hplx.net). Also, you will need a username and password to get on the newsgroup, which David can do for you. (Thanks, Dave. I hope you don't mind the free advertising! ) Thanks.

On the LX, I believe that region (high memory) has already been reserved by the system for various LX related items, and the loadhigh or devicehigh commands will simply not find the region available. TREMM only acts as the driver for expanded memory services, but I think that area (expanded memory) is used for data and not to load or execute programs (as the high-memory region would do). Expanded memory acts as a swap region for many programs (executing in low memory) to allow them to run in less RAM by letting them swap non-executing parts of the program (buffers and arrays) to the expanded memory region until they're needed. But if you prove me wrong, let us know...loading high would definitely be useful. - Longden Jim Sanders on 02/25/99 04:53:38 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Jim Sanders To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/WL/Candle) Subject: Memory Is it possible and how can you add devices from config.sys in expanded memory using tremm?

Unfortunately, the 200LX screen is a custom .. Hitachi, i think .. that can't be purchased by mortals. They refuse to sell the screens to anyone besides HP. So.. there aren't any replacements. However, it may be that the 200LX screen can be modified and a backlight put in.

I believe what it does is reset the card, so it's not in I/O mode anymore, and then the packet driver can't work anymore. You could probably get it to work again by unloading the packet driver, turning the unit off again, turning it back on, and then re-running OP2216 and PD2212, but... that's probably too much trouble. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 16:42:47 +0000 Reply-To: fcampoy@gbt.tfo.upm.es Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "fcampoy@gbt.tfo.upm.es" Subject: TCP/IP libraries In-Reply-To: <199902242007.VAA20758@prometeo.activanet.es> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi all, i am developing an application on C language.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Took me a few minutes (after worrying about the Win95-only documentation) but after searching the EXP Tech Support information pages I figured out that loading the cellular driver into the modem is easy, but gonna be kinda annoying. Basically, the driver is a 5K text file, you go into a terminal, type at¬c2, it says "DOWNLOAD INITIATED..." and you upload this text file to the modem, afterwords (until powerdown) it always talks to the cellphone when you dial out. I was hoping it was a flash kind of deal, where you did it once and it was saved, and some command was given to select cellphone usage. But it wouldn't appear to be the case. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this process simple? A script in Datacomm would work.. Maybe other terminal programs. Any small programs you know that I could just fire off and it upload this file without any intervention, such as just before loading WWW/LX? Maybe the program mentioned on their webpage for DOS does this, but it's not included on my disk. Anyone possibly have this software? Hopefully EXP will respond to my query soon and maybe offer me such a program. :) Otherwise, seems to work! -- Walter Francis HTTP://wally.hplx.net ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 19:18:37 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Neil.Somers" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Neil.Somers" Subject: FS: 1Mb200LX 4Mb Card and...

I put my palmtop in my desk drawer and lock the drawer. I had to provide an Ethernet cable and power strip (routed through the back of the desk) to get this to work. The "disturbance" you are experiencing is part of the network card's "normal" behavior. After power is removed, you must re-start the card enabler and re-run the packet driver. This won't work due to the fact that the enabler will report the existence of it's self already in memory and not "re-bind" to the card. I have had some luck un-installing some drivers and re-installing them. A big headache. Stick with a re-boot. Phil > >Is there a way to password-lock the 200LX while it is still on?

But since it appears that a number of subscribers also own/use HP OmniBook 800's, which run HP LX PIM programs, I thought this reply meets the bare minimum relevance threshold. Focus: customer service from retailer CDW and OB800 memory upgrade issue. I had purchased a 16Mb memory upgrade for the OB800 from CDW a while ago, and I chose the Visiontek brand because it was significantly cheaper than HP or even Kingston and they had it ready to ship next day. After installing it, the OmniBook would lockup ar random rather frequently such that I had to perform a reset to get it back. Not very good for holding onto your data and/or document changes. I exchanged the memory upgrade for another of the same thing, and this time the computer would not even boot up with it installed. I noticed that the way the little card was designed, it was quite possible that the leads on one or more memory chips were lightly touching the metallic coating on the inside of of the cover of the memory upgrade compartment. I insterted a thin piece of plastic to prevent this, and sure enough the computer booted up and ran fine. But I did not consider this an acceptable solution, especially since I get a nasty surprise if the plastic insert slipped. So I called CDW and explained that I thought the design of this brand of the memory upgrade was flawed, and they were very good about the matter. They replaced it with the HP model, and a 32 Mb one at that, since it was more readily available. So I would caution anyone against the Visiontek memory upgrade for the OB800, unless they have redesigned it. I later installed a Kingston 32 Mb upgrade in another OB800, and that was trouble free. Now the prices are so low that the differences between brands, if any, are not worth the risk. And finally, I obviously would recommend dealing with CDW. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lynn M.

It allows PalmTop and notebook/laptop computers to use devices which require more power, such as PCMCIA disk drives, and it adapts any PCMCIA Type I or Type II slot to handle Type III (or thicker) PC cards. Plugging the PalmTop Adaptor into a Hewlett Packard PalmTop LX-100 or LX-200 adapts the PalmTop for use with PCMCIA disk drives, ideal for mass storage and easy data backup capability. Software is provided to support the use of disk drives with HP LX-100/200 PalmTops; however, to initially load the software onto a HP PalmTop, a computer with a 1.44 MB floppy drive and a serial port with a serial cable are required. Internal/external power to the PCMCIA device is switch-selectable. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 22:26:43 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: SV: IrDA link!

The only solution I have now is to take a daily back-up onto the PCMCIA card and on the PC using Transfile utility. Haven't yet tried automating the daily batch process to take the back-up.

This is the full registered version that comes with 35 fonts plus a utility to convert TrueType fonts to the .ff1 format it uses. The full installation takes several megs - I think about 5 or 6... EVP does a great job of "palmtop publishing" of posters, flyers, signs, and brochures= . Speed isn't fast enough on the palmtop for fast touch-typing, but neither am I 8-) You can use it with either a mouse (or trackball or touchpad), or with the built-in keyboard "mouse". EVP has drivers for a bunch of different printers, plus support for printing to .pcx files (150 dpi or 300 dpi). All the fonts are scaleable from 4 points (too small for me to read) up to 144 pts (2 inches high). Some of the fonts don't look so good in the tiny sizes. At 12 pts and above they all look pretty good. All fonts can be used as normal, bold, italic, and bold italic. Of course not all look right with the variations. Print quality on my Canon BJ10SX is excellent at 360x360 dpi, very good at 360x180, good at 180x180, and abominable at 60x60 I use the printer in Epson mode, and those are the choices. Printing graphics thru the serial port is s...l...o...w (not exactly a surprise at 9600 baud). I don't have a parallel port card, but print speed should be quite decent. Print speed is also a lot better if you have EMS memory. EVP is a very good WYSIWYG DTP program, but not fast enough to do word processing or text editing. Of course, you can prepare the text on VDE or your favorite editor, and import into EVP. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 05:48:28 -1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bob Graham Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Graham Subject: PE too slow for my laptop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm using WWW/LX with POST/LX Ver 2.0a and PE 2.1.

Error MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit After some testing using only one .MDB file, I wanted to start with a real application. But the following file operations don't work: With 'OpenFile...' and 'Create File...' I get the file menu, select a file name, hit return (or F10 - ok), the tortoise appears - and is not willing to disappear. I have to reboot (Ctrl-Alt-Del and sometimes Shift-Ctrl-On). When I start Pjt2 after that, the file is loaded resp. created and can be worked with. I'm very surprised, because my 2times 5MB 200LX works very reliably. I've checked for directory naming (A:\_DAT; C:\_DAT; Pjt2 home dir), checked disks (A:, C:) - it stays the same. I don't use compression, but Key200 - nothing special at all, I think. Does anyone of you have (had) similar experiences? - Thanks in advance.

Hello all, About euro: look at IBM PC-DOS 2000 to see how they replaced a character to fit the double-lined E character into table. Also, there is a new CP character set included that hosts the Euro sign natively. IMO, computer industry should be careful about taking advices from EC executives. Considering how bureaucrating and slow- minded is the EC, they can ruin the whole IT industry! Probab- ly worse than Microsoft... I would like to welcome the success of LxTel by Stefan Peichl! This is a new innovative use for the LX, an offensive approach to keep the DOS palmtop alive. Usually we talk about implementing functions on LX, that are already available on desktops; thus working in a defensive position under pressure from ever coming new Win* applications. The more new fields you find for LX, where no computer was ever used before; the higher value the work has. HPLXers always excell in this regard, so let's see some more new ideas! These are the kind of features that really amaze others and make them buy a unit themselves in the luckiest case. I found an old IBM brochure dealing with enhanced connectivity of AS/400 Advanced Series. There was a photo in it showing a Newton, a tablet version of Thinkpad710 and a HP95LX 1MB unit. The 95LX was docked to something called SKYSTREAM, looked like a sidecart; similar in shape to Atari Portfolio port add-ons. I guess it was a kind of wireless service, but in PCMCIA TypeI? Sincerely: Tamas Feher. PS: Is here anyone on the list, who operates or manages AS/400 machines? I'd have a question concerning TCP/IP software. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 14:40:26 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Alan Peres Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alan Peres Subject: Phone.pdb won't sort In-Reply-To: <001001be614a$1d52ea80$0601a8c0@m5.technoir.nu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Suddenly, my phone.pdb file won't sort.

I'd have a question concerning TCP/IP software. I think the skystream attached to the serial port, not the pcmcia slot.

Hmmm... I don't think so. Mikhail suggested HTMSTRIP. This may be your best bet. You can configure it to translate most of the HTML formatting tags to your choice of strings. You could, for example, have it change

to whatever control string your printer uses for double-high double-wide etc. Then print the converted document. > BTW, it seems to me that using HTML is the easiest way to add fonts & > formatting to a document (since I already know the syntax)... > Unless someone knows an easier way.

Well - I'm using VDE for most documents. It's more of a sophisticated text editor than word processor, though. Does handle proportional spacing, bold, underline, italics, dbl-wide, dbl-high, dbl-wide+dbl-high, etc. No embedded graphics or scalable fonts, and it's not WYSIWYG... For fancy stuff, I use EnVision. Does graphics, multiple scalable fonts, and lots of cool DTP stuff. But you already said you tried it, and don't want to use it... Problem is - to print DIRECTLY from HTML docs with all the formatting intact, you need to have scalable fonts and the appropriate printer driver resident on the palmtop. (Back to WinDoze, GEM, or EVP...) Sorry, this probably doesn't help much. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 27 Feb 1999 09:02:02 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Donglok Kim Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Donglok Kim Subject: Pocketjet serial cable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I was asking serial cable for Pocketjet to Shier but they are not replying me back.

Yep! Aside from some other wonderful things (like displaying Hebrew) keybez also redefines the sort order according to the "font" you have loaded! If you look inside the *.kit file, I think that something is mentioned there about this. If you use Hebrew for names in the phone book, it will also mangle the quick search feature.

I am trying to use LXTCP to set up email and newsgroup access for Palmtop News Reader 3.0. My service provider is ibm.net. I am awfully close to having things configured, and I'm hoping someone could spend a moment to help me out. I am using DOSPPP v0.6, and its EPPPD driver. I have successfully made a connection and can PING to the nameserver. However, I am relying on a BOOTP server to do the configuring, and so I don't have a WATTCP.CFG file. According to the LXPOP docs, I need this file to run LXPOP, as well as other parts of the LXTCP package. I've tried creating a WATTCP.CFG file with just the information that LXPOP specifically needs (e.g., pop.server, smtp.server, etc.), and leaving out the other stuff that EPPPD looks for, since I don't know some of the other things that are normally found in that file (e.g., my_ip, netmask, gateway). Unfortunately, that then confused EPPPD. When I removed WATTCP.CFG, EPPPD was fine, but LXPOP was confused. What is going wrong here? Thanks for any help you can provide, and thanks to Rod Whitby for creating the LXTCP and PNR packages. I think that they will be the ideal setup for me, since: 1) They have low disk storage requirements. 2) They are standard POP mail and NNTP news programs. 3) They have a nice .EXM interface which allows good menus, F-keys, and zooming the screen. Goin' Postal can do the first two, and palmtop.com can do 1+3, but LXTCP/PNR is the only one that does all of them. Thanks again and cheers. J. P.

Here is a GENERIC procedure to assign icons to apps, even if the icon is not in the same subdirectory, or not the same name. Follow these steps carefully: 1. Open Applications Manager, press Add 2. enter the name 3. in Path: field enter the name of the icon (i.e. a:\misc\icons\www.icn) - NOT the program, but ICON you want. 4. Tab to the little icon window. The icon you named should appear now. If not, you did not enter its full path name correctly. Redo. 5. When the icon appears, tab more until you are back in the Path field. Now enter your PROGRAM patch as you would normally. 6. Press F10. The icon can be deleted if you want to save 1K or 2K (maybe 512 bytes :) ...) It is now embedded in appmgr.dat in C:\_dat. You can add/change icons in existing apps by simply moving to the path, highlighting it then Fn= - COPY. then enter the icon's path, tab to the icon window to confirm, then back to path and Paste.

Quite seriously, though, HV was never intended to print, only to show on the screen. Adding the code for print formatting would make the program unusable on the palmtop because of the size. > BTW, it seems to me that using HTML is the easiest way to add fonts & > formatting to a document (since I already know the syntax)... I think you confuse something: The fonts I see on my machine when viewing document XYZ.HTML are totally specifiable by me. I can tell my browser exactly what to use, which I like, overriding anything that you think I should use. Even those tags that specify the font to be used, _assume_ that my machine has the same fonts. But that is entirely not reliable, so using html for font formatting is rather the worst way to go. The only way to assure yourself that _your_ of fonts is what I see in a document you publish is via PDF. > So how do all you palmtoppers dress up a simple document?

I am curious how much storage the whole setup takes on your disk? Our product, WWW/LX Plus v 2, meets #2. The storage requirement is about 500K installed, including email, newsgroups and browser. Significantly less without the browser. As to #3, PAL library was created for exatly that purpose, to provide the System Manager GUI. We use that in Post/LX (and in HV). You can download the full code of WWW/LX Plus Version 2 from http://www.dasoft.com and try it out. The download is limited only in that it operates in Demo mode, allowing 16K of transmission before it stops operating. You may restart as many sessions as you wish, though, to test it out. Avi M.

Well, that is different than HTML printing... Your best bet would be one of the word processors such as LetterPerfect, WordPerfect 5.1, and Word 5.5 (DOS), and others too. They run on the palmtop, take minimal learning (you said you do not want to learn TeX!) and they have some good capabilities in the font arena and image embedding. HTML as a font embedder is actually the worst choice, as I explained in my prev. message, since _I_ choose the fonts which will show on my browser, not you. Avi M.

You are correct to omit netmask and gateway, but must include in your wattcp.cfg the following line: my_ip=bootp I think this is probably the only thing you need to add, but for reference I'm including the step by step process I followed for my setup. Ted -- Theodore Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA ------- Begin include -------------------- It may be helpful to see my setup. Here is a brief overview. I put my program files in a directory named c:\lxtcp, but you can pick any directory name you want. I have the following files in my working directory (c:\lxtcp): chat.exe epppd.exe lxntp.exe lxpop.exe pnr.exm pnrti.exe pppd.cfg termin.com wattcp.cfg I have created two subdirectories (c:\lxtcp\filed and c:\lxtcp\mailbox) for saved messages and incoming/outgoing messages. My pppd.cfg file has: com2 38400 crtscts connect "chat '' AT&F OK ATDT7757000 CONNECT" user "xxx" passwd "yyy" namsrv 206.64.96.2 namsrv 206.64.96.3 where the strings after chat describe alternately the commands to the modem (AT&F and ATDT7757000) and the responses expected (OK and CONNECT). If you need a different initialization string for your modem, put it in place of the AT&F. Also, put your own local dialup number in place of 7757000. I think with an external modem you would need com1 instead of com2. Replace the xxx with your username and yyy with your password. The namsrv numbers should be the IP numbers for the DNS for your ISP. You may need to ask your ISP. Or check their web page. You don't have to have two different numbers, but it can help at times. My wattcp.cfg file contains: my_ip=bootp domainslist="nlci.com" smtp.server=smtp.nlci.com nntp.server=news.nlci.com pop.server=pop3.nlci.com pop.username=xxx pop.password=yyy lxpop.spooldir=c:\lxtcp\mailbox lxnntp.spooldir=c:\lxtcp\mailbox The bootp lets LXTCP get the IP number from the server (for use with dynamic IP assignment). The gateway and netmask are not needed, you can omit those lines. Next, you will need to replace the nlci.com, smtp.nlci.com, news.nlci.com, and pop3.nlci.com with the names of your ISP servers for each of these services. Again, xxx and yyy are your username and password. The last two lines tell lxpop and lxnntp where to look for messages--rename those to match the directory names you chose. Finally, (almost there :) you will need to have pnr.cfg in your c:\dat directory. The following lines must be in it: ÝPNR¨ user=theise host=netins.net name=Theodore Heise folder=c:\lxtcp\filed spool=c:\lxtcp\mailbox timezone=-0500 The user, host, and name can be whatever you want--they will be used on outgoing messages. The folder and spool must match the directory names you picked above. Timezone is relative to GMT, the -0500 is applicable for Eastern Standard Time (U.S.). Feel free to e-mail if you have questions.

I am not sure I know what you are talking about. Let me check what I wrote on the Webpage. I assume you mean D&A Software since you wrote "supplier" and we are producer, but also supply it to individuals and dealers... Or did you see it on someone else's webpage? Aha, I see: FAQ question 2: The point is that in DOS the screens are generally not in graphics mode. So Magnify cannot use the image of the screen in the screen buffer to enlarge the pixels. In most DOS applications you CAN use the zoom, and that can give you some relief (this is built into the palmtop!) There is NO way around it. Let me explain: The graphics screen is stored in a specific memory location which the hardware knows to display on the screen. Magnify goes to that buffer and picks the chunk of the screen that it is supposed to magnify (that is the lense size.) It then scans the pixels in that chink of screen. If the magnification is 2x, then each pixel is doubled. For magnification 3x is is tripled, etc. Example: Normal size letter in pixels: x x x x x x xx xx x x x x x x 2x magnification: xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx Notice that the magnification doubles the number of pixels in both directions? After this is down for all the pixels inside the lens, this is copied on top of the graphics screen buffer. In non-graphics mode, the letters are formed in a completely different way, and there is no screen buffer that we can play with. > I use Info Select and although I've got it set so one note at a time > shows in the screen in the medium zoom mode, sometimes I have difficulty > reading certain characters so I zoom to the largest magnification then I > often have to mess about with scrolling to the right off screen. It wouldb e wonderful if the product was sensitive to the screen mode and adjusted its own display to the "viewport" you use when you zoom in and out. > The "Magnify" software would be great for this situation if it worked in > DOS exactly like it does with the built - in apps. This will not happen, because we simply do not have the information to play with. In text mode, you have no control over individual pixels... Sorry to bear some uncomfortable news. Avi M.

West Texas is a long way from a coral reef. Aha! Yes. Well we have an alternate plan. It is basically the same principle, but was designed for more landlocked locations. So here is how: You utilise the machine as a planter. You must empty all its innards, and send them to people who salvage metals from the boards (there is lots of gold in them that boards ... Hrrrr...) With the money you get, you buy soil and seed, and you fill the cabinet with soil (you can also bury it partially in the ground) and plat the seeds. Soon, you'll have flowers, tomatoes, bell peppers etc, even corn growing out of the S36. A good use for it (finally!) Some suggested similar treatment for the WinCE machines, but alas, they are too small, so mostly they are good as platforms to grow bonsai trees. Please remove the batteries first... You can use the pen to help aereate the soil for better water retention. The reflective screen can be strategically directed towards the sun to reflect its rays to the backside of the bonsai trees. The keys on the keyboard are excellent rootholds for the little trees. And they can always use the pMSIE _if_ their ISP uses CHAP, since keying on the keyboard maybe a dangerous activity, potentially toppling a tree trying to enter and umplaut or some other accent with a key combinaiton, and losing its roothold. One danger is the stgnation of the O/S, it may cause rootrot, so beware... I guess that is it. Enjoy... Avi M.

If what you are looking for is a PIM, and you are looking for an adjunct to your desk top, a WinCE machine makes sense. Every machine has tradeoffs, and the 200LX's may not be for you. However, if you are looking for a computer that you can have with you all the time, then a WinCE machine is NOT for you, and the 200LX (modified by T2T) is, in fact, the sweet spot.

If your unit is "locked" (password protected), then someone finding it doesn't get to see the topcard when they turn it on, and hence can't find out your name and telephone number to return it to you. After reading the thread, I've decided to make sure PW protection is off when I travel, and to also make sure I quit all apps when I'm not actively using the unit, in the hopes that if I do lose the LX, it will come back to me. I may someday make a new topcard with Reward if Found and contact info in (on?) it, so I can go back to PW protection. Just an observation.

It is entirely possible, depending on the state of your palmtop when you lost it and who finds it, that the person who finds it might never be able to turn it on, or get to a topcard. Heaven knows, my mother wouldn't figure out what the heck it even was. Who knows- maybe the batteries will be dead by the time it's found. I used a self-adhesive mailing label, then taped over the entire label with clear packaging tape. Very durable. I lost my palmtop when it slipped out of my pocket while watching July 4th fireworks in Philadelphia, and after spending the night lying in the grass somewhere in the dew, someone found it and contacted me. The very kind woman who returned it even declined the reward! I carry my palmtop in a Ripoff case now, and I also purchased a backup machine. I was REALLY lost without it. Cheers, and I hope nobody here loses his/her LX! J. P.

OBO. I am the original owner of this handheld, it is in very good condition with the exception of the latch which holds the lid closed, it is a little weak from years of use. This doesnt effect the use of the unit at all and the only reason im parting with it is that I have a 100lx now and my 95lx has been setting on a shelf for a while. Please send inquiries to me via email at driden@stlnet.com. Thanks, Dan Ridenhour driden@stlnet.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
