There is only an update, not a whole package v1.3, because there are only 2 files modified / added compared to the previous version 1.2. So if you already have version 1.2, you can simply download the update-ZIP and install it. If you either use an older version of LXTeX than 1.2 or no LXTeX at all and you want to install version 1.3, you have to install v1.2 first and then update it to 1.3. But that's very easy.

A few days ago, we had a simple trial where someone with a Nokia WAP prototype cell phone dialed up over our access server just as anybody else. However, to do anything useful, this cellphone relied on a so-called WAP server which is more or less a proxy server which translates "normal" web content into WAP-form. This meas, a WAP device typically implments a PPP stack upon which WAP is layered. > There are some wapservices here in Norway, and there will be much > more soon..

So it is contraproductive, when the market pushes WAP browsers for devices, which can use normal HTML browsers (as PDA's, HPLX etc.). http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990725.html There will be a smaller WAP-network which will loose. Think of the VRML browsers. Where are they today? There is a better solution: When a Webmaster has to present his data to WAP devices, there are 3 ways to do it: *** present a WAP-only page *** present a WAP version beside the HTML site *** Let the webserver/gateway do the job The first solution excludes the internet users, which can't process WAP sites (e.g. HV users). Metcalfe's Law says, that these sites will loose after some time (e.g. like Compuserve). The second solution doubles the work of the Webmaster. It is nearly impossible to do something like this, if a lot of deep, reliable and up-do-date data should be available. The third solution is the right one IMHO. The apache server can do the job. It is possible to check out, which type of browser the client uses. This is practical, if you want to check, if the browser does e.g. frames or JavaScript etc. You can then redirect it to a frameless or JavaScriptless page. This is already done by a lot of websites. Now instead of redirect, the server could be able to translate a site into a WAP-version. If the server cannot do it, a Perl script should be able to do that. There already exist some WAP-Gateways which should be available soon. Some on the list mentioned, that it would be nice, to have a WAP browser on the LX. This suggested, that it needs a special browser, to get WAP content. Perhaps HV doesn't do WAP, but this is not a question of the client, but of the server. Think of Metcalfe's Law. And Goeldi's Law (g) is: "When the content is really important, there will be a way to open it to ALL of your visitors. Your visitors don't have to buy a special ticket, to get your content. When this is NOT possible, your content is not really important" The solutions should look like this: ÝWAP site¨ --> ÝWAP code¨ --> ÝGateway¨ --> ÝHTML code¨ or ÝHTML site¨ --> ÝHTML code¨ --> ÝGateway¨ --> ÝWAP code¨ VRML is dead. It was called the ultimate webdesign kick. WAP will need a functionality to translate for non-WAP browsers. Otherwise it will be dead too in a few years. -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 14:30:59 +0100 Reply-To: Stephan Goeldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: Re: Backlight in Europe MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >>have't anyone seen atleast one handheld-contrast >> as good as the LX? > >Yes, I have.

And for others, it's neither nice to have nor a need. In the same way that, for me, conversion to Outlook is not a need or a nice to have at all, because I don't use it. For all those who do, though, Outloook <-> 200LX conversion is a desperate need. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 14:42:24 +0100 Reply-To: Stephan Goeldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: Re: Gsm coverage in US+BIG GOVERNMENT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > This is something I have never understood..

ISDN is 64kbps or 56kbps per channel depending on how far you are from the telephone company's switching office, and other factors like line quality.

But that's just my opinion. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 15:25:18 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , JEZ.CUNNINGHAM@ALCATEL.FR Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jez Cunningham Subject: IR printing via laptop to LAN printer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="Text" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've got my palmtop successfully spewing out infrared - but I don't have an IR-enabled printer to listen to it. (I suppose the analogy should be 'look at it'?) And I've got my laptop (at work) connected to the LAN with an IR port looking for something to see and do. And it's connected to a Laserjet printer. So it seems I ought to make them talk so they don't feel so lonely. On SUPER there is a DOS utility called OMNIPRN that will read data in from the palmtop via a serial port (eg COM1) and output it to the PC-connected parallel printer port (eg LPT1). It works as intended - but it couldn't listen to COM3 (default IR port) and it's hard-coded to LPT1. I like the idea of replacing the serial cable to COM1 by infrared and also replacing LPT1 by the lan-connected laser-jet printer. And then running the utility in the background in Windoze95. Any programmers looking for a nice little project? (And while I'm looking for something to point my IR beam at (having given up on the TV which is too far away) I'm wondering if I can control my daughter's Furby????)

Not floating point math. The instruction set in the Intel chip is probably richer than any in a CE device, but the 80186 is 16 bit and clocked at a much lower rate.

Not simple, tho you can try experimenting with gdbdump/adbload combinations. Problem is that the formats may differ slightly and require added programatic tweaking, resulting in more time than a manual effort (tho that's no excuse if you're a programmer). If you go this route, I'd suggest working out the (related) details for going the other way in case you change your mind later about using Todo. >Each database record is keyed on the Date field, so perhaps >it could copy that, go into Todo, go to that date, and then >copy the note field over to an entry on that date.

I haven't tried a lot of macro-chaining, tho I know it's possible. Maybe one macro can end by referring to another macro, which when done, refers back to the first ... and loop that way? Another thing to try would be keystroke emulation programs, and just build a script with 830 iterations of the same sequence.

I've had to part with my Konica Q-Mini recently and am looking for a replacement digital camera that works well with the 200LX. I know Avi has recently gone with the Canon A5, but only the A50 zoom seems to be showing up on the market ($320 low). Would appreciate any leads on a nice digital camera in the $300 price range (less is always better) which has your personal recommendations (otherwise I can read spec sheets like anyone else). Some cameras are plain lousy image-wise, and other cameras may take good pictures but are a pain to transfer or display on the LX. BTW, those of you with digital cameras ... how are you making the prints? My previous cameras came with image manipulation software that left a lot to be desired when it came to making a simple set of prints. Problem is that ink and paper are expensive, so I didn't want to print a single 4x6" shot on a 8.5x11" sheet, nor did I want to spend a lot of time merging, cropping and rotating images manually to print each sheet. I found Win 95 software called "Qimage" on the web ($30 shareware) that basically is supposed to let you 1) designate the files to print, 2) desginate the layout to use 3) hit the print button, leave and come back when the stack of prints are done. Anyone else use this for printing?

It was written in a technical magazine about the question, why the 56Kflex and V90 standard are 56kbps and not 64kbps. They wrote that the secure ISDN standard in USA is 56kbps and that this seems to be a standard there.

Another reason, from my own personal point of view, is because the US residential market is very different than the Norwegian residential market. Residential wired local phone calls have always been nearly unlimited for a simple flat monthly charge i the US. US residents didn't even consider paying by the minute for local phone calls until cellular and digital phones were introduced into the market. Because of this, it took longer for the US residential market to accept "per minute" cellular and digital phone charges for local calls. Huge, long term marketing campaigns preaching the benefits of cellular and digital phone service were required to break into the US residential market. Cheers!

Not only did the reps I talked to proclaim to be experts in those issues, but the welcome recording Compuserve plays while a customer is on hold actually states that they routinely record those conversations with tech support reps for training purposes! My conclusion from this is that their tech support training program is then also highly questionable, at best. It's no wonder that public sentiment indicates that bad information is routinely given by Compuserve's tech support reps. Thanks for the warning.

John Vander Stel Grand Rapids, Michigan BTW, there is actually a good reason why I won't be installing the newest version of Compuserve access software to establish my new account. I run an extremely flexible, but non-standard network that Windows doesn't even know exists. Due to that, Windows 95 wrongfully reports that my network card is not functioning, when in fact it's working great. ;-) Loading internet access software written for Windows 95 or higher causes Windows 95 to insist upon automatically installing it's own network card drivers, thus killing my network.

With my old Kodak DC-20 and LXDC, I was able to control the camera, use the 200LX as a timer to take group photos, view the pictures (not very well, but you could get a rough estimate of how it turned out), download pictures to the 200LX for additional storage on the road, etc. Now I have a SoundVision MiniCam 3209, which takes CompactFlash cards, so I can view the JPEG files with LXPIC and copy them to the palmtop to free up space on the CF card. If a program was written specifically to control this camera over its serial connection, like LXDC did with the DC-20, I could do neat things like change the shutter speed from the palmtop, or even possibly display live video from the camera (though that would be pretty slow on the palmtop, of course). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 20:47:54 -0000 Reply-To: abmenezes@mail.telepac.pt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Antonio Queiroz Menezes Subject: FLUFF: Re: 200LX and Digital Cameras ... other questions Comments: To: Longden Loo In-Reply-To: <8825683A.005EF556.00@n-smtpmta.candle.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/enriched; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT 0100,0100,0100'm trying Qimage.

It's smaller than a 200LX, but the keyboard has almost no travel at all, and there's no expandability or serial port (that I could see). It might have infrared, in which case it would be a handy little e-mail and maybe web terminal, but it seems it would be much harder to type on than a 200LX because the keys have almost no travel -- very tricky to tell if you've hit a key or not. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 14:20:20 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Comparison of 200LX to Psion Revo In-Reply-To: <0FM200K6QZ9XUK@mta3.rcsntx.swbell.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 1 Dec 1999, David Ball wrote: > Just as a matter of interest, have you or anyone else had a chance to > to see the Psion Revo and how it compares to the 200LX?

(Admittedly as our company will make a profit from the backlight solution, I am not exactly objective. However, if the backlight product ends up not being good or useful, our company's reputation will suffer.) Anyway -- I like my backlit palmtop ... a lot more than I thought I would. I can't imagine not having it. It's not that I use backlighting that often -- maybe 15% of the time. However, when I need it, I need it. It is great. I find from time to time I am in dim light (and occasionally) no light situations. It is great to be able to pull out my palmtop and use it. As someone else said, it completes the palmtop's "mission" -- pocket PC available any time, any place. I can't wait until we are able to offer it. In the Palmtop Paper that we are mailing out this week we say we hope, "First Quarter, 2000". Realistically, for those who have ordered backlighting on a new palmtop (by sending us a $500 deposit), at best we will be able to ship by end of January. However, beta testing STILL has not started and probably won't for another 2 weeks. Late January means everything will go OK during beta, we will be able to get parts, and our techs will be up to speed. Unfortunately, as we have already seen with the delays, seldom do things all go right in high tech. That's the latest scoop. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 13:44:47 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Fryday Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Fryday Subject: Palmtops on About.Com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit http://palmtops.about.com/compute/palmtops/library/weekly/aa112899.htm Psion and CE only...

It works excellent. I have published some example codes (4DOS batch) on that page. The timer batch file I use very often on the field to take long series of pictures every somany minutes. Last summer my Olympus hung up (read my previous technical problems on my page), and bought a NIKON 700. The other program CAMEDOS refuses to communicate with Nikon camera's, but PHOTOPC runs OK. BTW On my Windows98 machine I use photopc also without problems. I have a download script, a picture erase script, and a timer script running under 4DOS.

And there's me, too... Finally I can use the palmtop in my bedroom late at night for some word processing, or in the living room while watching television in extremely dim light. I can AT LAST take notes in a darkened lecture hall. The other day I did some budget work while at the movie theater watching "Double Jeopardy." Without my backlight I would have been forced to sit through that whole movie, which I found dreadfully boring, with nothing to do. For me, the backlight is definitely a must-have. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 15:55:02 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Brown Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Brown Subject: keyboard templates MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I was just curious to know if HP ever offered those plastic overlay templates for our palmtop's keyboard.

From what I've heard, the Revo has a screen resolution of 480 x 160 pixels and no backlight. Psion users like its contrast better (the higher-end Psion models have horrid contrast IMO).

As far as I can remember from the cursory glances I gave to the reviews, it's little more than a cut down Series 5, with the major downer being a smaller screen (which means that many apps written for the Psion machines won't work properly on it).

It is marked *IGT International Game Technology 20MB* and is about half again as thick as the Simple Technology 16MB card I was using. It slid in my 200LX effortlessly and I didn't realize it was as thick as it was until I took it out and looked at it again. It was packaged in a single layer of bubble-wrap which went completely around the card and was taped closed. This was wrapped in a sheet of regular bond paper and was stuffed into a small manila envelop along with a thank-you from Scott. It appears to have suffered no damage in transit and immediately existed when FILER was started. I have done a back-up to it and erased same with no apparent ill effects. Bottom line - no complaints.

The use of typedef struct does not generate code in the same way that a definition of a function does.

The declaration tells the computer "set aside this particular block of switches using the format as given by the SDLGITEM definition but call the block "LGITEM".

"a" and "b" can now be used in the equivalent fashion. > write the same thing as follows: > > typedef struct SDLGITEM { > int PosX; /* relative horz position of item in dialog */ > int PosY; /* relative vert position of item in dialog */ > /* (snip) */ > }; This is ok. You've just defined a structure with the name SDLGITEM without defining a type in the same time. > struct SDLGITEM DLGITEM; > So this __IS__ a declaration, which should produce code. Or am I wrong? Yes. You're right. It declares a *variable* with the name DLGITEM to be a struture SDLGITEM and allocates 5 integers, ... for the variable DLGITEM. You can now do e.g. DLGITEM.PosX = 5; *But* only if the first typedef (1) is commented out, so that the name "DLGITEM" is not reused. But this may not be the intention of the original header file. Because it is *unusual* to declare a variable (DLGITEM) in a header file. A header file is intended to be included to many files. A header file usually defines structures or types, but seldom declares a variable (with memory allocation). And your __IS__ may be the main reason for the warnings that this may be not what you want. In other words, the purpose of defining a type DLGITEM and a structure SDLGITEM of the first typedef (1) in the original header file is to facilitate free choises of (2) and (3) in your C codes in *.c files that include this header file. > This is, what my compiler (HP-UX 10.20, gcc) says: > > gcc -O2 -DUSE_UNIX -DUSE_X11 -c -opm.o -I../../src/inc pm.c I suggest additional options -ansi -pedantic -fbounds-checking if the bounds-checking package is included in your gcc.

BTW: They've really never gotten along any how and things have gotten worse since the hint/talk of backlighting. (:-) My first Mini Flashlight (StreamLight) of almost 20yrs ran away, we all went to work one night and Mini failed to come home. I haven't seen her since. As a matter of fact I posted a $20.00 reward. After about a month or so I bought a new one (Radio Shack brand). Now thats when the problems started. For no reason the flashlight would jump out of my mouth onto the palmtop. HEY! BTW: This is a true story, no joke! Its like this, you can wreck the car and thats fine.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I did have this problem with GP going through one route to our corporate servers. I then switched to going via Compuserve (we have a route through there) and it went away. I'm told that we haev now changed the dial-in servers so it may be OK now. Basically it was a problem 'with the ISP' - in my case my own company. The software/hardware in use was not set up to work with anything other than Microsoft stuff. A common problem is an absolute refusal to negotiate an MTU size below 1500, but I was also having trouble trying to find an acceptable set of quoted characters - it only seemed to work if all characters were quoted. The symptom I had was that it was chronically slow and always timed out after a few messages. As I never got to the QUIT command I never cleared messages from the server, so it got quite unusable. One thing that pointed the finger was that it did not happen when I accessed my own Compuserve account with the same settings. I'd recommend that you try (perhaps one of the free POP services) another mail server/ISP and see if that is OK. Don't expect any sympathy from your ISP if you are not using Windows 9x or NT. Remember that if you have one of the above you don't need a mailer, you can type POP commands in from a terminal - Telnet to port 110. There are places to get the list of commands - I found a good precis on Compuserve's pages about their POP service. Not a way to to business, but you can check it is working. Normally you wil be railroaded into accessing their POP server through their dial-in. You cannot AFAIK access e.g. Compuserve's POP or SMTP servers from the wider internet. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 16:10:06 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: Time outs with CCLXPOP?

Travel refers to the up-and-down motion of the keys. On the Revo, the keys barely depress at all, and there's no real tactile feedback to tell you if you've actually hit a key. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 00:20:28 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , chris@AMLOG.DEMON.CO.UK Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Randle Subject: Re: Backlight in Europe MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="__next_part__1295445143__" --__next_part__1295445143__ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Wed, 1 Dec 1999, Stephan Goeldi wrote: > Has the Psion 3a backlight? > Is it a color screen? > > -goe- Nope, the the 3a did not have a backlight - the 3c did.

The prototypes buzz, but Mack is building a new board that will not buzz any more than the 200LX normally does (some users have power supplies that do buzz when charging or when a high-drain PCMCIA card is put in). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 11:26:55 +1030 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Collins, Barry (FORENSIC)" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Collins, Barry (FORENSIC)" Subject: Backlight and Batteries MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Hi All, For those of you with long memories, there was a discussion two years ago on possible ways of increasing the battery life for the HPLX Palmtops. At that time I wondered about using the thick, hollow hinge of the palmtop as an additional battery cradle but was told by someone (I can't find the reference) that the hinge tube was used to take the web of wires from on side of the body to the opposite side of the lid. The implication was that it would be impractical to re-route the wiring merely to accommodate extra batteries. However, with the almost certain advent of backlighting, there will be extra power demands to sustain it; so the need is greater. Also, since the installation of backlighting will mean opening the lid and altering the wiring configuration anyway, it could reduce the cost of additionally re-routing the web of wires supplying the lid to make room for extra batteries. Unfortunately the diameter of the hinge tube is not large enough to take the usual A4 cells but it does seem, from an external perspective at least, that up to three of the thinner A3 cells could be fitted in. That would probably have to be a separate power supply, reserved for backlighting, with separate access by unscrewing(?) one of the end caps. Just think, for a little extra cost (presumably a fraction of the cost of supplying the backlighting) the extra power problem could well be solved!

Additionally, there's no practical way to reroute the ribbon cable running from the screen to the motherboard. Finally, the driver circuit for the backlight fits inside the hinge, so it would be impossible to add batteries in there anyway because the room is already used by the driver circuit board. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 09:40:55 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "R.S."

It would program the power up alarm to wake itself up at the next appointed time to that new picture and repeat the cycle.

Well, his original question reposted by you prompted me to wonder if just loading the buddydos tsr in front of sysmgr would work. Then you replied so ..... Now, before you scoff, I have had buddydos working on a laptop computer using a hacked up buddy.env file. So give it a shot or shall I??? Not only did smartcaps work but d-click. Clearly, some features don't understand a non-hp keyboard and computer. I did have trouble figuring out some of the puncuation/case stuff. I got the basic buddy.env file setup on the HP. Then moved it checked results. Played some more on the hp, checked it again, back to hp and into and out of a patcher program. So maybe it would work IN FRONT of sysmgr?????

It's a GPS unit -- global positioning system receiver. It receives signals from satellites and tells you your position on the screen. Not a phone, PDA, or anything high-end like that.

Also, many parents wake when their kids are dreaming happily, nightmare, waking, freezing, etc, at least when they sleep together. Mothers more so, maybe. I am like this with my son if we sleep together, although I sleep heavily normally. But it does not work over distance for me. Some other mothers I have talked say it works over distance too, but I always put that down to wishful thinking. :-) The alternative crowd will consider this energy thing normal, I am not 'educated' enough though. My wishful thinking collides a little with common sense and technical education. One wonders when triangular printed circuit boards are sold to balance your energy and people start babling about E.T. abducting them for their sperm/eggs to advance their race or that there are 10.000 alien ships from the gamma quadrant protecting the earth... Although my father could find water with a forked twig and I practice martial arts now and again where energy flow is important. Too many contradictions for me at this point in time.

Another win would be, that, if you could access websites through a WAP-gateway, that much more sites are accessible for the LX. e.g. frames, tables etc. Too many "Webdesigners" don't care a lot about the bandwidth of "less-is-more"-communities as we are.

Brian, This is a good point. I've had similar experiences with LXPOP, but not recently. I *do* have stashed away a couple of e-mails=20 that managed to choke LXPOP.

It seems pretty cool, with more of an emphasis on puzzle solving (it actually reminds me of a cross between Rogue and Ultima). Is there a way to make ZZT more legible on the LX screen? How much memory is required to run ZZT? I have to exit the System Manager in order to free enough memory to run it (this loses some of the spontaneity factor of "playing a quick game" that Rogue has). -- Terry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 00:52:41 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Terrence Chun Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Terrence Chun Subject: Re: Nesting "Groups" in HDM In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain On 03-Dec-99, Russel Brooks wrote: >> DOS Only: 539k >> HDM lvl 1: 532k >> HDM lvl 2: 529k > > Not free but too expensive either for the flexibility it gives you with > the nested menus.

As far as I can tell, SMMx, being designed with this feature in mind, doesn't use any extra memory when opening a sub-menu. It just closes the old one (I presume) and re-opens it when you go back, whereas HDM just loads itself again. Perhaps this can be fixed, so HDM behaves more like SMMX in this regard, (which would be a good idea because sometimes HDM makes the screen go blank when escaping back to a previous menu, and only a ctrl-lshift-on will make it come back on), if anybody has the skill and time to modify and recompile it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 07:49:22 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bob Meyer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Meyer Subject: Re: Microsoft plan to eliminate DOS support from Windows2000 Comments: To: patrickwest@uswest.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hey, thanks for link.

From my limited experience (spending a year in a foreign country), I think that the huge cultural differences that are supposed to exist between countries are often vastly exaggerated. It's all too easy to forget that deep down we're all human beings (strange but true!), and we have a lot in common (eg. the LX!). Usually, what's funny in one country is funny in another, so carry on joking, everybody - even Lars! :-) And if anyone is offended, well... blame me! > >From one thing to another,Goldie,this law of Metcalf,is it something = like Murphy's law?which is:If something can go wrong,it will.

Hello all, I've been following the GSM-IRDA interference thread and all related wireless networking things. Here is an idea: I guess an LX user (who has an OGO700LX or a 64/96MB 200LX with Nokia Datacard in the PCMCIA slot) could almost double his/her data bandwith by using TWO mobile-phones simultane- ously and achieve 2x9,6 or 9,6+14,4=24kbps speed. One phone is a Nokia 2110 (for OGO700LX) or compatible, which goes into Datacard. Other is a 8110 or so, hanging on IRDA. You dial up the same ISP with both phones. All you need is driver to handle the traffic-splitting for the two phonelines/modems; which service is implemented in the OS by Linux, WinNT, OS/2 for desktops using land-lines. Probably this may also be done under DOS. I guess the problem is, there are 2 major TCP packages in use by LXers; thus coding must be done twice for WWW/LX and LXTCP. This reduces the chance, that anyone would undertake the task. Some questions arise: How many of you carry two GSM phones simultaneously? (Plus a GPS, beeper, ham radio, Iridium, INMARSAT, etc.) What happens if two phones work, less than an armlenght apart from each other? Do they get jammed?

I'm afraid that since I've started using software carousel on an 8MB upgraded unit, I've stopped worrying about memory requirements. If anybody is pondering the upgrade - don't! It moves the 200LX forward a decade in terms of usability. I'm sometimes wish I'd gone for 32MB instead of 8MB, but that's WANT rather than NEED. As for screen settings, try adjusting the grayscale with Fn-/ together with the inversion setting Fn-* and contrast Fn-- & Fn-+. I usually find a happy compromise in there somewhere.

Someone had the gall to suggest I just buy replacement batteries Probably will. Some alternate power methods for the 200Lx; Anyone have additional ideas? Source weight mAh eqv. charge batteries?

Pack 1Lb- 1500+ probably a bad idea Car power cable 1Lb- 6000++ Definitely Solar power 1-2Lb 250+ Not quickly When at a desk etc., AC power's also do-able, just disable Battery Charging when appropriate. Small lead-acid batteries are not horribly heavy, can be charged quickly, but that cord can be inconvenient. We don't need a golf cart battery on a 2-wheel carrier for the 200Lx, unlike SOME laptops Could charge your NiCad/NiMH internals off this for a larger Lead-Acid, or just extend life when at a desk. Lots of small 12V batteries for under $10 out there (but those're HEAVY, one's $7, 4AH 12V with a carry case, new, would run a 200LX for a month maybe, but weighs 3 pounds probably ) Most of us just carry a couple extra batteries, this works They can drain down though, if not handled right (or if older NiMH's.) An external battery back could be made that would sort of "snap" onto the right side of the 200Lx, using either a couple NiMH batteries, a very small lead-acid, or even a Camcorder Li-Ion battery, you'd need a DC-DC converter for this (unless a 12V lead-acid); securing it there's rough though - Wish there was a good way to lock such a battery in place, will think A battery pack with a cable can be done, same as a Lead-Acid, it's as inconvenient (if lighter!), though. Could put batteries under the 200LX, that might be bothersome to some people though. Maybe behind the display, snapped onto the display, but then the machine would be top-heavy... Hmmm, there are those new "paper" thin type batteries I've heard of, have never seen them for purchase though. Won't more than mention fuel cells or microturbines today Car power is pretty do-able, so long as you filter that power so it won't destroy the 200Lx, easy enough to do with existing equipment (Radio Shack probably sells this already ) Yeah, Solar power isn't perfect for backlighting, think charging a spare pair of batteries at a convenient location though. Solar's lots cheaper than it once was, but huge area's still needed (say 10-12 of the 6" square, $5 panels Jameco sells, to give you 9VDC at 600mA in bright sunlight, so you can charge your batteries quicker; 3 square feet is not simple to carry...) You can use mirrors to raise the power output of solar cells, to some extent, don't melt the cells though Mark David Sargeant wrote: > > Unfortunately, the inside of the hinge tube is flat along the bottom, and > so AAA batteries won't fit either, that I've seen.

I know there is a version 1.2 in the works, but I don't want a combined LXMTA as I don't use LXNNTP. 1) Version 1.1 of LXPOP scrolled progress messages down the screen as e-mail messages were received and deleted. In version 1.2, each progress message overwrites the previous one as if there is no line feed. Is this a new feature? I liked being able to scan the list as messages were downloaded. Is there a way I can set the new version to act as the previous version did? 2) The new LXPOP parameters in LXTCP.CFG are not very well documented. What's the difference between the savesent and the nodelete=smtp parameters? And what does the minimum free space mean? lxpop.savesent=1 lxpop.nodelete=smtp ; Don't delete sent mail. lxpop.minfree=-1 ; Set to minimum free space. 3) Up until now I'd been using a version of LXTELNET (a beta maybe?) that would let me ftp from a telnet session on my shell account back to my palmtop without entering any login or password. With LXTELNET v 1.1 I haven't been able to get this going. I have the parameters below in my LXTCP.CFG, and a file named passwd.cfg in the working directory with nothing but a password in it, but it doesn't seem to work. I get a message to check password. Do I need to use the v 1.2 LXPASSWD.EXE somehow? ftpd.enable=1 ftp.passfile=passwd.cfg 4) Okay, last question. If you've read this far, thanks! I have a number of e-mail boxes on many different servers, and at least 3 ways of dialing up. I really like Goin' Postals approach to this, but am sticking with LXTCP because I like the PNR interface better. The way I've been handling this is to have 3 CHATSCR files, 2 PPPD.CFG files, and at least 3 LXTCP.CFG files (with the various smtp and pop3 options I have, I actually have 8 possible combinations). At any rate, I've been copying these files back and forth as needed, and I *still* have to do frequent editing when I'm dealing with hotel room dial-out prefixes. I'm thinking of trying to use LXBatch to put together a batch file that will let me enter the info to be patched into the various confic files as needed. Does this sound like a viable approach? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks for any input form the list. Rod, if you're listening, thanks for a SUPER package!

Lacks the memory utilization features (as well as everything else) in xcopy, but it did do the job of file synch by dates nicely, and was tiny.

You could use the Archive attribute and then use xcopy /a or /m. When you copy files the first time, do an "attrib -a /s" command in the root of the drive. Then, next time, use xcopy /a/s to copy all files that have been changed. The /m slash does this also, but then removes the Archive attribute for each file after copying, so you won't have to do it manually. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 23:07:49 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mark Willis Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Willis Organization: Occasionally happens here.

I've used the command xcopy /M /S to copy files with the archive bit set (This means that the file has been changed.) The /M turns the bit off so you won't copy the file unless it's changed. (/S does subdirs.) My pet peeve is that the database files have the bit set merely by opening and closing them even if you don't make any changes. None of the xcopy clones that I tried could deal with this. The database files are always included.

The new Nokia Datacard supports higher speeds but draws too much power to be used in the hplx.. As for new technology we here in Norway will probably have GPRS by the end of year 2000(approx). This is a packet technology which will provide 115kbps. And then there is "EDGE" which will provide approx. 384kbps. (Mainly for US). We will instead go for UMTS with 2mbps in approx year 2002.. UMTS will be a international standard which will also be used in the US (still some frequency problems to solve over there (As Avi wrote was the case regarding Gsm too..)

Does anyone have any other suggestions? You could do something like the following. Have one batch file, say pppon.bat which you run like pppon config1 In the batch, it branches depending on %1 and would then call pppd like pppd file config1.cfg where config1.cfg is a pppd.cfg file. Note: if you have a file named pppd.cfg it will still read it also. In config1.cfg, chat uses the file option for the chat script connect chat -fconfig1.scr Finally, the batch file sets the lxtcp.cfg variable as set lxtcp.cfg=lxtcpcf1.cfg This is from memory, so verify the syntax from the docs.

Since my 8M 200 is too small to hold my copy of the Collins Electronic English Dictionary, I had kept it on my Simple 16M A: drive. It always worked perfectly from that location. Upon receipt of Scott's 20M disk I did a few simple tests of the disk and reported to this group that I had experienced no problems. Now it came time to copy the dictionary over to Scott's disk which I did by first copying from the Simple disk (not the Collins CD) to my desktop PC. From there I swapped the Simple disk for Scott's and reverse copied those files from the PC to the LX. I can't believe I wouldn't have tested it when I completed the copy but I just don't remember testing it. Anyway, a couple of days later I had occasion to use the dictionary and when I called it by pressing ENTER on the icon as I always did, it came up flashing between a normal dictionary screen and a black screen about twice a second. Pressing to exit and then re-starting it made no difference. Re-booting () made no difference either. Since I could see the screen about every half second, I decided to enter a word to see if the dictionary itself functioned. Entering a word (any word) and pressing enter presented me with a dialog box which said *The speed data does not correspond to this version*. I have no idea what that message means. At this point I'm starting to think that maybe the copy operation went south and even though the file byte counts matched, I knew you could corrupt a file and have the byte count remain the same. So I erased the contents of the DICT directory on Scott's disk, inserted the Collins CD in my PC, hooked up my HP power supply and using the Connectivity Pack once again, marked and copied all the necessary files, AGAIN. This time when pressing ENTER on the icon, the LX screen blanks except for a blinking cursor in the upper left corner and will not respond to any keypresses except . Sorry for the excessive bandwidth but anybody have any ideas?

Release Candidate 3 supports *important* DOS apps (i.e., I was able to run the tools in CPACK and transfer files between my 200 and my Omnibook 800 Ýalso *not supported*¨ via serial, open appointment, phonebook, and database files) Notice: all the article *really* says is that MS is removing the *prompt*, and that's not, as of RC3, true. Under "Programs|Accessories|Command Prompt", I got a Windows 2000 command prompt for Microsoft Windows 2000 ÝVersion 5.00.2183¨. The Omnibook was upgraded from W95 to W98 to W2K betas 2, 3, RC1, RC2, Build2176, and RC3. User Suspend works, but I auto-hibernate. I also ran the HP-PIM apps which came with my OB600 on the W2K OB800; again-no problems. Next question - how many *serious* developers *for the desktop* are still developing for DOS or Windows 3.x? They've had 5 years to transition for pete's sake! People on the W2K beta newsgroups are running Quake & Doom on their machines! Consider the source of this nonsense. MSDN's latest newsletter discusses *what* MS has done - eliminated the ability for a 32-bit app. to "flat-thunk" into a 16 bit app. If you don't understand thunking, you've probably got more serious problems with your app already. Conclusion - the article was written by someone who a) is uninformed about W2K, b) didn't check their facts, and c) as we read further down has an agenda themselves every bit as pernicious as they accuse MS of - just no real native vendor support.

That should be v 1.0 and 1.1. > nodelete = having sent the mail KEEP the file and dont delete it. > savesent = the files named outgoing.s* appear in the "sent replies" folder. So savesent puts it in "Sent replies" and nodelete leaves it in the "Mail replies" folder? If you set both you'll have 2 copies of sent mail--do I have that right?

Examining the sheet I see that the printer starts printing from the beginning up to about the 3rd Lotus column of the seventh line. Then it starts all over from the beginning (A1) up to the seventh line again, then changes page and prints with standard font (Courier 10) instead of the fonts established in the setup command, always printing only seven lines and starting all over again. When I print to my Pentax pocket jet with exactly the same settings apart from the port (which I set to No.2 IR in Lotus), it prints OK. The printer works completely normally with IR and Memo, obeying to all the setup commands. I have set the speed to 9600 as usual within Lotus (port to No. 4=IR of course). What I do not understand is why the printer starts several times from the beginning, there is no command for several copies, AFAIK. Does anybody have any idea how to print the entire print area just once ?

Most basic data processing/manipulating applications, including text, derive little if any benefit from the GUI environment. And there is a long history of a great many small specialized data processing apps for which there is no return benefit in porting or rewriting them to run in Windows, which is no small task BTW. Even the standard apps of word processing, database, and spreadsheet are much more productive in DOS; the only thing GUI and time has added to them is in a fancier, easier, reporting presentation, and device drivers. By way of example, how many mainstream Win text processors can block a column of tabulated text? How do you print a sorted directory listing from Win? In short, there are a great many, very valuable, things which can most easily be done from the command line, and with simply coded batch, rexx, perl, or dos programs. And they aren't just power user utilities. If you use VDE on your palmtop, why not use it on your WinBox? Do any of the MS Office apps provide script recording as easily or usefully?

So you might as well back it up anyway. OTOH, people running Dbcheck on a regular basis might have an added incentive not to backup if there's no need, provided Dbcheck would be able to note if there's been a change or not. I'm not sure if Curtis' analysis goes to the byte level (probably just does record level checking), but if it did, a possibility would be for Dbcheck to do some kind of checksum on the database and log that checksum for comparison the next time around. If the checksum matches, the db is unchanged regardless of the archive bit or date flag. This is conjecture since I don't do databases nor checksums... and given the added work, it may be wiser (as already suggested) to just do the backup. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 23:03:16 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Appointment book record limit?

All files check out OK except one, the bad one is an ADB file I have created with the appointment book on the HP 200 LX. At the beginning of each month, I use File -> Remove to extract the appointments of the previous month into an ADB archive I call MONAT.ADB (Monat is the German word for month). This is the DBCHECK report for November's MONAT.ADB: MONAT.ADB: File type: Appointment ... Data error: record number 34 doesn't exist . 1 db header, 0 card def 0 categories, 27 fields defined 0 view point defs, 1 view point tables 2 smart clips, 1 lookup tables 58 data records, 37 with notes Found records: 131 Garbage records: 0 Expected records: 282 Deleted records: 152 Error: a data record contained an invalid value. MONAT.ADB had errors. The appointment book application can open the file without any problem. I'm using the HP Connectivity Pack to translate the file into comma-delimited format. This also works alright. However, if I use the HP 200 LX appointment book to create a new file, say MONAT11.ADB and try to merge MONAT.ADB into the new file, this fails with message "Memory requirement exceeds application's internal limit". BTW: Exactly the same happened with October's MONAT.ADB, only there were two non-existing records instead of one. Any idea, anyone?

My email server is IMAP-only, but I like the ccmail interface, so at present I use ccLXPOP to send my mail via my SMTP server, then use LXMTA to grab my IMAP mail, then call ccLXPOP with the -offline switch to index the downloaded IMAP mail into a ccmail-readable file. As long as I don't have a pop.server= entry in my wattcp.cfg then ccLXPOP won't try to receive mail, and you can tell LXMTA to receive only, without connecting to an SMTP server. You have to remember to delete the incoming.mai file after ccLXPOP has indexed it, otherwise it gets re-indexed next time. I was impressed at how well these two programs work together.

I've always liked PC-File very much. It goes way back and should be available on most DOS repositories. One search found version 6.5 at a Simtel echo: http://www.qdnet.pl It appears that version 7.0 is the current offering at $130 US.

That's irrelevant to the issue at hand. The false claim was made that W2K was abandoning DOS and W3.1 apps. Consumers, who after all buy most machines, prefer a GUI/WYSIWYG environment regardless of whether it could be done more efficiently in a character-based environment. The market has shown this. Any efficiency losses have been counterbalanced by faster processors, cheap RAM, and cheap storage. In any event, the real question isn't whether the *application* benefits from a GUI, it's whether the *user* benefits from it. >And there is a long history of a great many small specialized >data processing apps for which there is no return benefit in >porting or rewriting them to run in Windows, which is no small >task BTW. I don't dispute that converting an app to take full advantage of *any* GUI is non-trivial; I never claimed that it was. I did contend that anyone selling a *mainstream* application has had 5 years to port to another environment, be it Win32, OS/2, xNIX, whatever. If it's a horizontal application, they have every reason to port, using available tools which have been steadily improving, but some of which have been around from the days of Windows 3.x. Vertical, limited-market applications can usually justify retention of a legacy platform until the next release, assuming the vendor isn't blown away by someone else who made the jump first. >Even the standard apps of word processing, database, >and spreadsheet are much more productive in DOS; the only thing >GUI and time has added to them is in a fancier, easier, >reporting presentation, and device drivers. > Which are major gains for both the end-users who don't have to worry about inconsistent operation, and the developers, who only have to write to one interface. Further, to quote, I believe, Jerry Pournelle, "All computers wait at the same speed". How many people can keep up with WordStar 3.x, Word Perfect 5.x, or Word for DOS on a PII/366? >By way of example, how many mainstream Win text processors can >block a column of tabulated text? I only have access to WinWord 6, 8 (Word97), and 9 (Word 2000) at home - *ALL* of them do, either with the mouse or from the keyboard (Alt-drag or Ctrl-Shift-F8, then mark with arrows).

I was thinking of inverted caps, like cOLUMBUS, for example. The word "I" can be caught by Quicklx, with a simple notation on the ini file, though. I was also thinking of frequent words which must be capitalized (Christmas, not chritsmas, etc). All those types can be caught by Quicklx.

As Longden has pointed out, it's not so much a problem of slippery as that you can't tell when you've hit a key without checking the screen to see if it showed up.

I'd like to share my problems with post/lx. hoping that we can find a solution together. I have a registered copy of www/lx 2.1e and I use it twice every day to down/up-load my emails. I've encountered some problems with the way post/lx formats the email messages: it usually looses all the formatting, and when I receive my currency update they are almost un-readable. I have a similar problem with LXDR: I can't use it to read the hplx digest and the genetic alg. digest I usually receive in my mailbox; this is due to the fact that the subject is usually put with the field 'from' on the same line. Besides of that when I compose a message and see the 'preview' of it before sending it, it completely lacks of the formatting I've just done in PE. Any idea to solve this problems?

Well, most of the people who want to connect to the phone via irda are already able to simply connect phone and LX with a serial cable, because a modem is already inside the phone. And the wired serial port is in no way affexted by the field around the phone's antenna. So the solution with the cable is already there and there's no need of an external modem.

The main benefit is TSR RAM use. 6k for CIC100 vs 816 bytes for LXCIC (at least on my version). Stefan is also around to make any tweaks needed, whereas CIC100 works for you or it don't. Another contender (short-lived) was altcic which turned out to be an illegal hacked version of some Japanese software. I don't have SC so I can't volunteer configuration information relative to modem use, but I believe LXCIC will run in a separate SC session whereas CIC100 had problems in that regard (this is from the dark recesses of my memory). - Longden (forever in the dark without a backlight .... but I'm a mushroom, so who cares?)

How does this affect the >Appointment Book? Will it go south at about 5000 appointments, or will it >continue indefinitely? The appointment book's files seem to be handled by some common code in the LX which handles the other kinds of files, so I'm pretty sure that the same limits would apply (but I'm not finding out!). I'm not sure what causes the 5000 limit, but my guess is that it's a limitation of the size of the lookup table. There are eight bytes in the lookup table for each palmtop record. Each data item (todo, appt, or event in ApptBk) takes one record, each note takes one, plus about 30 for the field definitions etc. The header of the lookup table has a two-byte field indicating its length, which would make for a maximum size of 64K bytes. With 5000 data items, if 3000 of them had notes, there would be around 8030 total records, so the lookup table would be 64246 bytes, very close to the largest 16-bit number, 65535. This is my theory, anyway, but I'm not going to test it with my own files. Especially since the file would become cumbersome for the LX to handle long before it gets to this point. -- Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 22:44:14 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: DBCHECK Errors with ADB Extract File Comments: To: BOCHE@DE.IBM.COM In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ulrich Boche wrote: >All files check out OK except one, the bad >one is an ADB file I have created with the appointment book on the >HP 200 LX. >This is the DBCHECK report for November's MONAT.ADB: > >MONAT.ADB: >Data error: record number 34 doesn't exist >Error: a data record contained an invalid value. You can see exactly what record has the error with the "/d" switch, like this: dbcheck /d monat.adb > monat.txt This will generate a large amount of text to the file monat.txt, which you can then open with any text editor that can handle large files. Notepad in 95 and 98 can't, but Notepad in NT can. Then search for the word "error", and you'll see the data item where the error occurs. You could then try to delete the offending item, but it might not be accessible from the Appointment app. You could use the connectivity pack to export everything to a CDF file, and then load that CDF file back into a clean ADB file, but this will cause all your repeating items to be expanded into separate ones, which is a pain.

I was answering to the idea someone expressed of having smartcaps with less of a memory overhead than buddy, rather than comparing the two programs' functionality. Buddy takes about 46k of memory, while Quicklx takes about 5.8k, depending on the size of the ini file. Also, I use a few TSR programs which contain some of the essential functions I need from buddy, without the memory penalty (besides quicklx, I also use lxshift & numlock). If someone would make a standalone smartcaps, that would round my collection nicely (I know buddy has a huge array of functions, but for what I actually need, buddy is overkill and a memory hog to boot, on our palmtop, that is).

It was designed for use in only one SC work area, but turned out to be so small, that it doesn't hurt to be loaded resident in autoexec.bat. Thanks to Mack and Rod, it also supports network cards and allows to switch the palmtop off and on without loosing the network connection. This is a real plus! I don't want to start a new SC discussion, but everybody with enough RAM or a (fast) flash card should consider getting this 'cannot live without it' piece of software. It's value in terms of $ is just the price of a palmtop multiplied with the numer of SC sessions you want to run. I have 10 sessions running, hence my value of SC is $2000, assuming I had to buy 10 used palmtops for $200 each. It's really that simple: SC just offers you up to 12 virtual palmtops in one physical.

Since, as you point out, keeping the same pixel size and increasing the number of pixels makes a non-standard screen, there is another option. The screen _could_ be made a bit larger with the same number of slightly larger pixels. This would have the result of increasing the font size for those of us who are growing older (that is, everyone except Fred ) Yes, I know this is academic, because we have been told by those who KNOW that no one is interested in making monochrome LCD screens in this size.

If you have a low bandwidth, high latency link (perhaps a low speed modem, or a poor connection from your ISP to the backbone) then you might try putting the following line in your tcp.cfg file: mss=512 This causes small packets to be sent, which seem to do better when you're getting timeouts.

Ted (& others), note that as of version 1.2 (currently in late beta testing) I won't be distributing the individual LXPOP & LXNNTP executables, as LXMTA will replace them. Have you compared the size difference between LXMTA and LXPOP (I haven't, but I wouldn't think it was too much as the TCP/IP stack and the C library functions are the major part of the program size). All new features (like IMAP support, and anything I add in response to your suggestions below) will be in LXMTA only.

This is a new feature, as I personally preferred to overwrite successful messages so that error messages wouldn't scroll off the screen.

ÝFor those who didn't know, Ted is the reason why PNR is better documented than LXTCP - he did major updates to the PNR doco before the last release¨. Ted, do you want to help out with the LXTCP doco too ? :-) Set savesent=1 if you want to keep a copy of your sent mail in another folder (they're stored in "Sent Replies", and you can save them into a normal folder). nodelete=smtp (renamed to smtp.delete=0 in LXMTA) means that you're testing out a new SMTP server and you don't want to delete the messages until you're sure that they're getting through. Note that the messages will continue to be resent every time until you delete them in PNR or turn off nodelete. minfree=65536 means that LXMTA will not download a message if it's going to cause your free space to go below 64K. minfree=-1 means keep downloading until you run out of space. > 3) LXTELNET > ftpd.enable=1 > ftp.passfile=passwd.cfg Typo in old doco - ftpd.passfile > 4) Okay, last question.

Maybe you can use the GP dialler for the PPP settings, and then take advantage of the new LXMTA command line options for the TCP/IP settings.

I may move the swap file back to my LX, for speed, but It's working Ok. I've been switching all my "C:\...." refs to "A:\...." BUT today was my first day leaving the CF card (in its PC-Card adapter) in my home computer; so I have NO real data w/ me in my 100LX today :-( Sad feeling, when you're hunting for a key phone # and discover you haven't copied the A:\_dat\phone.pdf to the c: drive! BTW, for some reason Buddy refuses to load in my current config. I'm trying to load it in the MOREEXM.ini (may've spelled that w/ one too many "e's") and I get an error message saying it's not an EXM(!). I know I'm pointing to the .EXM file and the right drive. The only way I can get things to work is load buddy.com, in one of the SC sessions. Any help in advance is appreciated! TIA, --tim CPT Tim Raymond 13th Corps Support Command Public Affairs, Ft.

Steven kindly gave me permission to put it on the games.hplx.net site, but putting it on SUPER as well would be a good idea. I've often wondered whether there might be any way of allowing people to automatically upload submissions to SUPER. If such a system was implemented, it would probably save a lot of time and effort on the part of the good folks who have to maintain the site. Of course, the occasional inappropriate program might have to be removed, but I reckon it would encourage the submission of a lot of programs which might otherwise be lost to the palmtop community.

One more snippet of functionality in addition to those already mentioned. I keep a permanent SC area just for use as a DOS prompt.

That is true, because all you do is enabling the card for I/O. This information is nowhere stored in the palmtop's memory, hence it works in every SC session, but has to be done again after changing cards and/or an OFF->ON transition. If you load LXCIC resident, it just enables cards after every power ON or media change event, and you don't have to care about. It is not necessary to load it resident, it is just convenient. In your case you could also use the PreOnline=3DLXCIC setting of POST/LX which would do exactly the same what you do manually by switching to a DOS prompt session, call LXCIC and switch back again. Should save you many keystrokes, and you still don't use LXCIC resident, that is, no memory at all is taken away from WWW/LX.

It is not necessary to load it resident, it is just >convenient. I have a problem when loading lxcic resident in one SC session. And it's quite reproducible to a certain point. Say I load lxcic/l in session 3, no cards in the slot. Then I switch to session 2, turn off the lx, insert ram card, turn on lx. At this point it is usually locked up, only ctrl-shift-on brings it back. Once there was some text about llraserv on the screen, and once it went directly into diagnostic mode. A couple times my C: and F: drives were corrupted. It doesn't matter wheter SC loads lxcic during session init, or if I do it at the prompt. I've also tried a couple different ram cards. I've trimmed down the system to just the basics trying to find the problem. In config.sys I load rdt2t and spd31 and run rdswap. In autoexec.bat, I only run helv.com (replacement system font). None of the SC sessions load any tsr's. I've started loading lxcic/l in my autoexec.bat, and so far no problems, but it would be great to use it in just one session. Does anyone else have problems like this, or any suggestions?

Type lxcic /w to repower the card. This is only half of the truth. It will tell you that it powered down and the modem is not available. Unfortunately some modems still drain the same amount of power as they did during an online session. I monitored this with abc/lx. The voltage decreased permanently. Only OFF an ON stopped the modem from draining power. I am glad that in the latest version Stefan Peichl implemented a complete reset of the modem, it is switch /de, which is the same as OFF and ON. LXCIC is a great piece of software, small powerful, very efficient.

It goes like this: 1/ You load LXCIC resident in one SC session - it tells CardServices (which is outside of SC and always resident) to call a certain routine whenever a card is changed. 2/ Card services stores the address of that routine. 3/ You switch to another session. SC moves the code for that certain routine is now on disk or in EMS instead of being in real memory, and some other random code is at the address where the routine used to be (and still would be if you switched back to the original SC session). 4/ You change cards (doesn't matter what card, LXCIC still has to interrogate it to see if it's a modem or network card). Card services retrieves the address of the routine that LXCIC told it about, and duly calls the routine. 5/ Unfortunately, some other random code is now at that address (cause you have switched SC sessions), so something random (and usually bad) happens. Note that in a worst case this could wipe all the data in your C drive. Now you can see why when you load LXCIC resident in one session, and then swap a card (or even turn the palmtop off or on) in a different session can cause the machine to lock up. If you load LXCIC resident before starting SC, then the special routine is always at the correct address, and only good things happen. -- Rod Whitby - rwhitby@hplx.net - http://rwhitby.hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1999 19:55:02 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , al chin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: al chin Subject: Re: R: Re: Native Thai Comments: To: MARK MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ware do yu hang out?????

Before this, I also used a 48 MB CD Sandisk, and it was exactly as fast as my new 64 MB. My 200LX is also a 6MB one, with about 2.5MB free for downloads etc. :-) The only disadvantage of running SC on a flash card is, that you have to care about that you don't remove the card and then switch the WAs. That happens often when I'm in the WWW/LX Work Area, have the CF replaced by the modem card and hit accidentally a blue key that causes SC to switch to WA1 (SysMgr). Not very bad, you don't have to restart or chkdsk your card, but you have to remove the modem, reinsert the CF, hit R for Retry (an error message appeared that drive A: was not ready), then switch back to the WWW/LX WA. Then the screen is scrambled, so you have to do something that changes the contents of the screen, for example Fn-Space to zoom. Then everything is okay again. I recently asked if there is a possibility to disable the blue keys in any way (for example use exkey to map the blue keys to Shift-Bluekeys and vice-versa), but when I tried this it didn't work. :-( GTX daniel -- Daniel Hertrich d.hertrich@gmx.de homepage: http://daniel.hplx.net telephone: +49 (0)177 795 55 49 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 09:16:39 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin_Doering@MN.MAN.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Doering Subject: Re: Windows tool for HPLX Notepad Comments: To: johncarlo@MINDSPRING.COM Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Mime-version: 1.0 JohnCarlo: >I downloaded the hppim=2Eexe file that Mitch recommended and I think I've run >out of 'knowHOW'=2E=2E=2E=2EI want to revise,and update =2Eadb =2Epdb and then= reload >them to palmtop >What do you do with the hppim program?

Backup your data. Use at your own risk. My method is somewhat limited in scope. For the most part, the only program I need to use the system clipboard (outside of System Manager) is PalEdit. Generaly I have the SM running in one SC session & PE in another. Here is how I've done it. 1) I installed Clipvue.exm (which will load/save the clipboard to c:\_dat\clipvue.txt) to hotkeys Ctrl+F3 2) create 2 macros in exkey.ini --- exkey.ini --- Ý200¨ ; load c:\_dat\clipvue.txt to SM clipboard {Ctrl+c}={Ctrl+F3}{F2}{Escape}{Escape} ; save SM clipboard to c:\_dat\clipvue.txt {Ctrl+v}={Ctrl+F3}{F3}{Escape} ----------------- 3) Run Exkey from autoexec.bat before starting SM (exkey -fc:\_dat\exkey.ini) 4) Create 2 PalEdit Macros ; Ctrl+c Save selection to c:\_dat\clipvue.txt #2e03=#5d00#2e63#273a#2b5c#0c5f#2064#1e61#1474#2b5c#2e63#266c#1769#1970#2f76# 1675#1265#342e#1474#2d78#1474#1c0d#1c0d#011b#011b ; Ctrl+v Insert file c:\_dat\clipvue.txt #2f16=#5c00#2e63#273a#2b5c#0c5f#2064#1e61#1474#2b5c#2e63#266c#1769#1970#2f76# 1675#1265#342e#1474#2d78#1474#1c0d The keys used are Ctrl+c to copy & Ctrl+v to paste. In System manager, it is necessary to get the data into the clipboard first (via Ctrl+Copy or smart clip) then execute Ctrl+c. The reverse is true for Paste. It is necessary to press Ctrl+v to get the clipvue file into the clipboard prior to hitting Ctrl+Paste. In PalEdit, I just use Ctrl+c/v for SM clipboard & Ctrl+Copy/Paste for PE's internal clipboard. If anyone can think of a better method, I'd love to hear it.

Thought about going the Ebay route, but wanted to give the mailing list first grabs. Also, from what I could tell, it looked like similar items were going for close to $285 So subtracting the listing fees and such, I'd like to get $250 for the bundle with your pick of the modems. Dont really want to sell in parts (other than the modems) I can ship DHL from work so I'll pick up the shipping as long as its a US street address. The 200lx is in good shape, the infamous "hinge crack" developed on month 9 of its first 12 months, so it was sent back to HP and fixed for no charge.. hasn't been used much since. One of the alkaline batteries that was in it leaked just slightly, so there is a small bit of white residue in *one* of the battery compartments (not a big deal to clean off probably using some sort of plastic friendly solvent?) I just haven't done it because I've not been using the beast for over a year now. Checked it this morning, and it fired up just fine Reason for selling.. our corporate scheduling/contact server software only supports PalmOS and M$loth Win CE (yuk) devices, and for my needs the Palm IIIx is working (for the most part) Aside: ------ It was interesting to hear our corp. IS people's disbelief when I explained to them that I was able to use the lowly 200lx as a 'dumb terminal' when one of our Sun Microsystems servers was stuck at the boot prompt :-) Unfortunately, I cannot do that with a Palm Pilot, but haven't had to since then and when they pulled the local direct-dial in modem, hacking around on the unix network with the 200LX became less feasible (as well as necessary) thanks in advance, pls email if you have any questions or are interested -tim Tim Schneider, Synopsys Inc.

Yes. I have on C: an autoexec that brings me to plain DOS only with the most important drivers (Double Speed etc.). On the CF I have a autoexec. that first checks if C: is still okay (in the case the DS driver isn't there the autoexec brings me into a 'restore mode' in which I can reunzip the last backup uf my C: drive (because if the DS driver is gone, probably the whole drive is gone!)). After checking that, and if C: is okay, the autoexec brings me to a menu: 1. check drives with chkdsk 2. plain DOS prompt 3. Run Software Carousel 4. Make backup of C: Very handy! I restart the whole system every two days, then check the drives, make a backup and then reenter SC.

But if it has more, no problem. Only if it gives too less current, it will become hot and maybe will be destroyed. If the palmtop needs less current than the adapter _can_ give, it simply won't drain this remaining current.

The motherboard of the LX is not large, It reaches approximately from the 'i','j','m' keys to the right edge of the case. On the left side there is the PCMCIA slot taking all the space inside (between the keyboard layer and the piezo speaker). So everything on the Motherboard is very small and tight packed. Even if you removed the whole IR sending and receiving circuit there wouldn't be enough space for a CF card. And you would need a lot of wires to the CF card and a connector and..... There's simply not enough room for that. But what I was thinking of - isn't it possible to replace the data card in the OG700LX by a ATA flash card? Isn't the data card connected to a second full-functional PCMCIA-Slot?

My HP200LX is also an actual serially connected node on my network. My system does automatic backups of all nodes to a Magneto Optical drive every early morning and I routinely use my desktop keyboard and monitor to handle file management on my HP200LX. I too highly recommend LBL for an incredibly flexible network. The only problem I've had with it is that Windows has no knowledge that a network is even installed and therefore sees my network cards as not functioning at all. Due to this, upon attempts to install internet access software written for Windows 95, Windows will insist upon loading it's own network drivers and kill my LBL network. My solution to this problem was to simply install internet software written specifically for Windows 3.x. That has allowed me to surf the web on my networked computers without any problems. If you've found a better solution to that problem, please let me know. I'd be interested in hearing more about your experience with LBL via private email. A partner and I spent quite a lot of time thoroughly documenting the gray areas while setting up and installing our LBL networks. Just let me know if that documentation would interest you. We would definitely be interested in adding your unique experience with LBL to our documentation, as well. Cheers!

Try putting in the 20M card, hitting ctrl-alt-del and hitting Alt for boot options when the screen offers this. Select the option to boot from drive D: - this will use the default config.sys & autoexec.bat files. If everything works, make copies of those files on drive A: and add your own customization. Should work. If you swap cards, reboot, and the Thinfax should boot from C: - and the flash card from its own startup files (A:). HTH Peniel ------------ 01h53m34s ago ...

I have literally done 1000's of them. There are known problems with the palmtops dying that have nothing to do with any upgrade as they occur in the same frequency of upgraded and nonupgraded palmtops. There also is no temperature increase in the CPU with a double speed upgrade. I would not have been able to warranty new or used palmtops nor could Thaddeus if this was the case.

David Shier, of Shier Systems and Software, a long time supported of our platform and community, has announced some time ago that he is redirecting his company to concentrate on project management for mobile computers, and will leave the retail market. Quick/LX is a program written by Andreas Garzotto a loooong time ago, and the only one that was not marketed by D&A Software, since it preceded the creation of D&A Software as a business. David has provided generously all the rights to us, and will direct all sales inquiries to us. We are grateful to him for his generosity and kindness. He has also been a steady supporter and continuing adviser to me, giving generously of his time and advise, and of his vast experience with this platform, community and other matters. So, this means we are going to sell this software. In the next few days I will obtain from David whatever inventory he has of the program, put up on the Webpage information about this product and will gladly take orders! Thank you all for your time and support. Thank you David Shier (and if you have any project management work in the mobile computing arena, please do see David Shier, http://www.shier.com ...)

They said that the increased speed, being outside the design limits of the CPU, may cause additional temp build up. Anecdotal evidence we have all accumulated over the years here indicates that the cpu does not seem to fail. It seems that wear and tear does the trick much faster. For example, we hear more often of a "hinge crack", the break of the keyboard space bar to function right (a break in the tabs holding hthe key), and the latch failure. Also, the "drooping" or "sagging" top is another failure much more frequently encountered. In addition I hear about an occasional strange failure where the circuitry seems to drain batteries like they were going out of style. I heard of one today which drains even when turned OFF - it will exhaust two new batteries and a backup battery in two weeks. I heard similar stories before. I also hear occasionally of a screen failure. But a cpu failure due to heat? Nah!!! Avi The above is my own private opinion.

I'm making 15 for the first batch, a few Newton Keyboard adapters, a few Modem cables (25 & even a couple 9 pin), and a few Interlink/Laplink cables (3 types; 9 pin, 25 pin, and some with both 25 pin and 9 pin connectors on the cables.) Depending on demand, I can make 100+ for the next batch. Soon as I get the potting perfected, I'll have everything but the Newton adapters ready to be made to your specs. I'll make most of these in 1 foot to 3 foot lengths, if you want an extra long cable, it may take a little longer and cost a dollar extra or so. I should be there about Friday? I had a part come out wrong on the Newton adapters, I want to re-make those for the prototypes (about a day extra), and get some feedback from the Beta testers on those, before going to production. Current design has the keyboard connector facing the front of the 200LX, with the cable at the height of the top of the keyboard; I want to not block the Charger input or the IR port; by the time I finish the prototypes, I may lower it a little, I'm thinking. That Newton keyboard connector's thick enough that I don't want to lower it too much. And those using Newton Keyboards will HAVE to pull the adapter out of the 200LX before inserting/removing the Newton keyboard connector, or they'll break their 200LX's motherboard, most likely; Don't do that! So those will be about an extra week or so? Mark -- I re-ship for small US & overseas businesses, world-wide.

I thought you were wondering who lived in Thailand - which we do, we just aren't there right now.

Sounds to me like your paranoia "saved" you from a more efficient tool. But I suppose everyone hears what they want to hear - you hear about the tiny number of problems (which are not substantiated by more than "believe"), and others hear the other side, no problems, again unsubstantiated by more than "believe"... I believe the potential damage is so minute that it is not worth qubbling about, especially when compared to the efficiency and speed gain. Avi The above is my own private opinion.

I feel tempted to say "if you don't know what it is, you don't need it" ;-), however, that might sound rude (*not* my intention!) and it might not be true either. The bourne shell is one of many UNIX shells. A UNIX shell is roughly the equivalent of COMMAND.COM, used for doing stuff on the command line or making scripts (DOS Speak: batch files). Generally, UNIX shells are many times more powerful than COMMAND.COM. If you're not used to UNIX you may find the bourne shell a bit unfriendly. I found it a bit difficuly to set up properly, and I did have some UNIX knowledge at the time. Another nice shell is 4DOS, available from www.jpsoft.com. This is more DOS like, and more user friendly, and it works nicely on the LX too. The problem with using a UNIX shell on the LX is that no commands are built-in (the UNIX mentality I guess) that means that you need an external dir (ls) command, an exernal copy command, move command, etc. to be able to do anything. This means more space needed on the LX, whereas command.com (and 4DOS, BTW) has these functions/commands built-in. As for the shell in question, I tried once and it is really nice, once you get it installed. However, I'm more of a tcsh (another shell) man myself, and free space on my LX was getting low, so I deleted it again...

Me too :-) It is a fine program. I had to buy it from Shier years ago! So I do not mind plugging it :) << ... Quick/LX finishes words for you. >> Two other features: 1. It can replace a string you type. Say I type ASAP. It will offer to replace it with "as soon as possible". Harvard Medical School uses this program for students so they can type some medical abbreviations and the program offers to enter the full long name... 2. It also has a way to execute "macros". When you type something, it offers to replace it with sequences that it actually sticks into the keyboard buffer thus the machine executes whatever is plugged in as if you typed these commands on the keyboard.

I have started to realize the usefulness of xfinder, and I have even stumbled into configuring the viewer and the editor, but I have a few questions that I need help with (some of them are bound to be dumb and/or read the manual questions): 1-Is there a simpler and/or more direct way to transfer filer.ini and pns.ini settings to xfiler than doing it all over from scratch? Does it end up having all the same usefulness as filer + pns + zipray + unzipto? (I have not been able to find a way to treat lzh files like that). 2-Application manager reports Xfinder uses 44k of memory, but judging by the reported left over memory, it is actually using 82k. Filer is reported as using more memory than xfinder, but it actually leaves more memory left, according to appl manager. Which is true? 3-Why does running exm programs work sometimes, and not other times? 4-How does Xfinder plus xfs compare in transfer speed to say zip.com, or the irda transfer device from palmtop.net plus Transfile? It seems very speedy, comparable to zip. com, though I suspect zip is faster, even though I have not done direct comparisons yet. 5-Is there a way to move the /palmtop directory to flash? I admit I have not finished reading all the documentation. 6-I have not found le and me on the net. Are they any better/faster than using paledit and quickview? 7-How do I configure a default directory view? I want to see c: and a: with double rows every time I start the program.

Hi Chris+Laust, I didn't say that the bourne shell is beautiful, I am running 4DOS all the time. I wanted to express it is great that there is the possibility to learn and practice shell programming on the hplx. You can do alot of powerful things with the combination of bourne shell + (g)awk + sed + perl + tex (i don't use it) on the lx, but it is surely not easy.

I would even say that even if you knew it you might not need it. I don't recommend it as a replacement for 4dos or command.com (well, for command.com perhaps ;) ) but for practicing shell programming on the lx, if you need to practice shell programming like I do at the moment. Wether it's beautiful or not, it's a standard, and for people using perl or awk or tex or any other "unix-like" software on the lx it is nice to have a unix-like shell with it's powerful scripting facility on the palmtop. There are probably also people who use linux on there desktops and like to port shell scripts from/to the lx. Of course it does not turn the lx into a unix machine.

I think that I might still have an old copy of Bananacom somewhere from my BBS sysop days, but where might I find the HP200LX optimized version of Bananacom that you mentioned in your article? Dare I ask if you still have a copy? I remember talk from long ago that Bananacom was a terrific small terminal program. Many users of my old BBS used to use Bananacom because it configured itself and also because it was a no brainer to use. I'd like to experiment with an HP200LX optimized version of Bananacom on my HP200LX to see how well it works with a standard (although, rather uncommon now) Unix shell account for internet access and for access to a few local old style BBSs.

Hello all, A question to those using Accton ethernet with their HPLX: There are CIS upgrades available for download at Accton's website (Card Information Structure descriptor files) This file is similar to what a BIOS upgrade is for motherboard. They only mention better WinNT support as upgrade reason on the webpage and maybe some Win95 functionality. Is it necessary or recommended to do these patches, before the EN2212/2216 cards are being used in DOS palmtop? Or it makes no difference, and thus better avoided on an "Ain't broke, then don't fix it" basis? Also: If one knows the pinout for EN2212-1/2 dongle cable (flat15pin --> UTP/BNC and LEDs), then please write me. If you have a damaged/bad EN2212 card, I would buy it. Thanks in advance, Sincerely Yours: Tamas Feher. ____________________________________________________________ EGON - az ingyenes levelezorendszer http://egon.gyaloglo.hu ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 07:39:39 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Keefe Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Keefe Subject: Re: E-Mail field in Phonebook MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Martin_Doering asked about modifying the Phonebook.

Try putting in the 20M card, hitting ctrl-alt-del and hitting Alt for boot options when the screen offers this. Select the option to boot from drive D: - this will use the default config.sys & autoexec.bat files. If everything works, make copies of those files on drive A: and add your own customization.

Speaking of small terminal programs, I've used a terminal program written by Ralf Brown, the same guy who made the rather enourmous listing of interrupt calls on the PC. It's very small, apparently runs in ~64kb of memory and has fairly advanced scripting features for its small size as well as good emulation of various terminals. It doesn't have any built-in transfer protocols, though, but supports executing an external program when it receives the Zmodem header (for example). The program is available from his home page, but I don't the URL handy.

If you do that, and don't open AppMgr, you'll use about 7K more with XF than AppMgr+Filer. The 82K figure is about right. At least for me, the 7K loss is a good trade for the power of XF. > 3-Why does running exm programs work sometimes, and not other times? Are the EXMs registered in AppMgr or MoreEXM?

I'm not going to attempt to draw a waveform with lower ascii characters, but, an unfiltered power supply produces a crude waveform described above. More exactly, the unfiltered power supply waveform (half or full wave) can be represented by an infinite mathematical series called a Fourier (***note the Frenchman!!!***, you can be proud of him I think) series. As a crude approximation of this series, take only the two most significant terms, the DC offset and the fundamental (1st harmonic) frequency. In the case of the unfiltered supply, because it has a nonzero DC average, it could be thought of as a DC offset. Going beyond with only guessing again, unfiltered supplies give me an uneasy gut feeling that the LCD would be receiving a DC offset (interacting with it's own DC to AC drive) to permanently polarize the display. I'm sure glad the word fluff appears in the Subject!

Well, from what I know NT cannot "virtualize" the display (I think that is what Desqview originally called it, but it fits very nicely) and thusly, it cannot emulate (or catch) direct screen writes done by the app. to the screen memory (and usually to the display as well, but not when you're running it in a window) and display them in the window. Try a program such as MS-DOS Edit, it will fail in a window too. > Is there a way around? A registry key, for example? On Windows 95/98 this is not > a problem - everything runs fine. But at work we just use NT. Not that I know of. It's one of the great annoyances of Windows NT, IMO, but I guess it was done to make the OS more stable(?). If the connectivity software has an option for using BIOS calls instead of direct screen writes, then that might work.

The EXP driver is cranky and does not like other flashcards or SRAM cards in the slot while it is loaded. There is nothing you can do about it that I am aware of. But there are ways to work around it. You can set up a procedure where you reboot after changing cards so that the EXP driver is only loaded when you are using the ThinFax card. When the ThinFax driver is loaded, you can only use the ThinFax card. When that driver is not loaded, then you can freely swap between the flashcard and the SRAM cards. So, you will just need to reboot after inserting the ThinkFax card and then again after you remove it and put either of the other two cards in. This procedure takes advantage of a feature of DOS during boot time. During boot, DOS in the palmtop looks for CONFIG.SYS in the root of the A drive first. If it finds one there, it loads it and then looks for AUTOEXEC.BAT in the same spot. If the palmtop does not find a CONFIG.SYS at A:\, it looks at the root of C: next. If CONFIG.SYS is found there, then that one is used and so is the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. If nothing is found at A:\ or C:\, then the palmtop looks at D:\ and since this is ROM, it will always find the default files there. The memory on the ThinFax card is accessed through a driver, so it appears as drive F:. In other words, there is no A: drive when the ThinFax is in the slot and therefore the palmtop will not be able to find any CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files at A:\ while booting with the ThinFax card. DOS will have to use what it finds on the C: drive for configuration. But, when the SRAM or flashcard is in the slot at boot time, there will be an A: drive and therefore, you can have a different CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT there to allow for a different configuration. So, make your C:\CONFIG.SYS & A:\CONFIG.SYS files to be the same and your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT & A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT files to be the same except that the ones on the A: drive cards do not have the EXP drivers. When you boot with the flashcard in there, the A:\CONFIG.SYS will be used and no EXP driver will load. If you boot with the EXP card in the slot, there will not be any A:\CONFIG.SYS so it will use the one on C: and the EXP driver will load. Since the ThinFax card is also a modem, I would assume you would alsos want to use the modem, so put the CIC100 driver only in the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it doesn't bother to load when you are using the flash and SRAM cards. This, along with the procedure described above will make a simple and effective way to have a dual boot configuration that will only load the ThinFax memory (and modem) drivers when it is needed and therefore prevent interference with the other storage cards you want to use.

The problem has nothing to do with the crystal itself as I have never seen one go bad. The problem is usually in some component failure of the power supply on the motherboard.

Hi Steffen & group - Ed already mentioned the sources for C and Pascal material. For those interested in Forth, the SUPER site has HP-Pygmy Forth (which includes a lot of palmtop-specific extensions) and an additional source file that should make it much easier to implement the HP extensions. Just do a search on SUPER for Forth or Pygmy, and you should find the files.

My experience has been that XFinder can be marginally slower than zip.com when transferring files from/to my ramdisk (c:) but marginally faster when transferring files from/to my 30 Mb Sandisk CF disk (a:). The real value here is that the ability to transfer files is built in to your file browser/program launcher/archive manager/GUI. As with archives, XFinder treats remote drives, directories and files as if they were local, so you can transfer files between machines simply by copying them from one drive/directory to another. If your desktop or laptop is on a network, you can see the network drives on your palmtop too. And xfs apparently runs in DOS or in the DOS windows of *all* versions of Windows. (Hmm!

It should look something like this: %w 01020 The first digit chooses whether the palmtop screen starts split or not (0=full, 1=split). The second digit makes the same choice for all other screens. The third digit chooses the display mode for the palmtop screen (0=icons, 1=list, 2=detailed). The forth digit chooses the display mode for the right window, if a split screen. The fifth digit chooses the display mode for the left window, if a split screen. So in the example above, the palmtop screen starts full screen in icon mode, and all other screens start split screen with detailed display on the right and icons on the left.

I did a bit of research talking to folks at SprintPCS both in shops and on the phone and came up with the following info... I havent put it to the test yet but this is what ive learned. The web plans and pricing are for time using their builtin mini-browser on the phone to access their service which includes mapquest, yahoo, etc. via your phone. Using the SprintPCS phone as a modem with a computer is treated as a standard phone call using your normal airtime minutes. Sor their basic plan they have now for $29.95 with 150 peak minutes, and 500 free offpeak minutes would allow you to use the net for up to 650 minutes a month. They also have a christmas special free & clear plan (free long distance) that is $30 for 300 minutes any time. Im going to be picking up a connection kit for mine shortly so i will report what i findout then.

The EXP driver is cranky and does not like other flashcards or SRAM cards in the slot while it is loaded. There is nothing you can do about it that I am aware of. But there are ways to work around it. You can set up a procedure where you reboot after changing cards so that the EXP driver is only loaded when you are using the ThinFax card. When the ThinFax driver is loaded, you can only use the ThinFax card. When that driver is not loaded, then you can freely swap between the flashcard and the SRAM cards. So, you will just need to reboot after inserting the ThinkFax card and then again after you remove it and put either of the other two cards in. This procedure takes advantage of a feature of DOS during boot time. During boot, DOS in the palmtop looks for CONFIG.SYS in the root of the A drive first. If it finds one there, it loads it and then looks for AUTOEXEC.BAT in the same spot. If the palmtop does not find a CONFIG.SYS at A:\, it looks at the root of C: next. If CONFIG.SYS is found there, then that one is used and so is the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. If nothing is found at A:\ or C:\, then the palmtop looks at D:\ and since this is ROM, it will always find the default files there. The memory on the ThinFax card is accessed through a driver, so it appears as drive F:. In other words, there is no A: drive when the ThinFax is in the slot and therefore the palmtop will not be able to find any CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files at A:\ while booting with the ThinFax card. DOS will have to use what it finds on the C: drive for configuration. But, when the SRAM or flashcard is in the slot at boot time, there will be an A: drive and therefore, you can have a different CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT there to allow for a different configuration. So, make your C:\CONFIG.SYS & A:\CONFIG.SYS files to be the same and your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT & A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT files to be the same except that the ones on the A: drive cards do not have the EXP drivers. When you boot with the flashcard in there, the A:\CONFIG.SYS will be used and no EXP driver will load. If you boot with the EXP card in the slot, there will not be any A:\CONFIG.SYS so it will use the one on C: and the EXP driver will load. Since the ThinFax card is also a modem, I would assume you would alsos want to use the modem, so put the CIC100 driver only in the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it doesn't bother to load when you are using the flash and SRAM cards. This, along with the procedure described above will make a simple and effective way to have a dual boot configuration that will only load the ThinFax memory (and modem) drivers when it is needed and therefore prevent interference with the other storage cards you want to use.

This from the website: http://www.times2tech.com/speed.html Well, I didn't know whether or not to believe this (after all, it's a commercial enterprise in the business of speed-doubling LX's) so I checked my 1983 version of Intel's Microprocessor Data Handbook, and found that the 'absolute maximum' frequency rating for the 80186 clock input is 16 Mhz. At least that says that the LX's CPU chip is built to handle that speed, (or was in 1983). I have assumed the LX was built AFTER 1983 because there *could* have been other (earlier) versions of the 80186 chip (I don't know) that had a lower maximum. I think it's a safe assumption that the support chips (chipset) would probably have the same maximum rating (at least any produced after this date) as the 80186. There is another issue. Since clocking at 2x will cause power consumption on those clocked circuits connected to the clock to approx quadruple (4x) and likewise heat dissipation in those components to quadruple, one must also ask about the thermal design of the 200LX itself. Why did the designers of the LX decide to clock it at less than it's maximum? The real culprit in semiconductor failure is almost always heat. Has anyone stuck a thermocouple inside a double-speeded HP200LX and measured the temperature as compared to a single-speed LX? This would say something about the thermal design of the LX case and how hot the chip set actually gets when it's double-clocked. There is probably some additional theory (or maybe even some hard data) about mean-time-before-failure VS operational temperature that one could use to estimate how much shorter the life of the chipset would be if overclocked. Don't take this to mean 2x clocking is a bad thing. The actual shortening of life from this may be quite small. It all depends on how much that temperature rise inside the LX case is. Rob p.s. if anyone still wants to hear the blurb about why 2x clock translates into 4x heat I'd be happy to post it.

I use my Palmtop, with Post/LX exclusively for all my Jeff Johns replied about LXDR and indeed there is LXDRP which is paid item, not a freebie. I bought it from the author and used it a bit. LXDRP works with Post/LX. I like the program. What it does is open a file which contains the digest and then displays a screen with three parts. At the top it has an index of messages, each message is numbered and its subject is shown. The bottom of the screen shows the message which is marked in the index by an asterisk. You move the asterisk with arrow keys and it opens other messages. Other keys navigate the screen display. In the middle there is a command bar which shows the current message number, the total number of messages, a field for for typing the message number you wish to directly display, and the name of the message file which will receive the individual message if you press the "/" command. The message is simply appended to the end of the message file as specified in the command line. It works just fine. It seems fast, and this impresses me. I had a bit of a problem setting it up because the instructions were a bit too brief :), but Rick set me straight in an email or two. Once the message is added to the message file, you can reply to it as a regular message. LXDRP allows you to sift through messages and only add the ones you want (and God knows there is a lot of stuff on our list that is not worth the electrons used! :) ) I suppose that it can be set up as an external program. Post/LX would then feed the digest item to LXDRP and it can then do its magic. You will experience a reindexing issue if used as an external. I have not tried it.

I am finding that it is much more! But I had to make some drastic changes: 1-Rather than figure out the settings, I downloaded unzip, since changing the settings to pkunzip did not work for me. 2-I was having trouble with the viewer settings, and trying to put things back together did not work, and things just started to act weird, so I decided to hunt for the lattest japanese version on vector. After I did that, I practically did not have to change anything. Unpacking the file on the root of a: ,and running setup.bat does things automatically.

You can take advantage of DOS in another way: If it finds something to load on the A: drive it does. If it is not there, it will tell you so and continue booting. So: In the CNFIG.SYS load the device for the EXP card like so: device=a:\lxmdrv.sys I am assuming you put your CONFIG.SYS on C:. Now let's take both cases: 1. You are booting and the EXP card is in the slot. During the boot process, CONFIG.SYS looks for the lxmdrv.sys on A:. Well, guess what? it is there! So the EXP driver will be loaded, and all is well in the world :) 2. You are rebooting, and there is ANOTHER card in the slot, not an EXP card. During the boot process, CONFIG.SYS looks for the lxmdrv.sys on A:. Well, guess what? It is NOT there. So the EXP driver will NOT be loaded, and that is good news, since you do not want it loaded when you use other cards than the EXP card. Again, all is in the world. > But, when the SRAM or flashcard is in the slot at boot time, there > will be an A: drive and therefore, you can have a different CONFIG.SYS > and AUTOEXEC.BAT there to allow for a different configuration. If you check my procedure, it means ONE CONFIG.SYS, and ONE AUTOEXEC.BAT, both on C: drive, and NO CONFIG.SYS elsewhere nor an AUTOEXEC.BAT elsewhere - less confusion, less mess. Just put the card in and reboot. Oh, yeah, config will complain. It will say that there is an error when it cannot find the lxmdrv.sys on the NON-EXP cards. Great, let CONFIG.SYS complain - that is EXACTLY what we want, that it will NOT find the lxmdrv.sys and not load it, since that lxmdrv.sys is the driver for EXP. > So, make your C:\CONFIG.SYS & A:\CONFIG.SYS files to be the same and > your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT & A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT files to be the same except Nah...

In reply, I recall seeing somewhere in the Palmtop's SDK book an allusion to the clock speed. My impression at the time was that the Palmtop was actually built to handle double speed. On the question of overall heat build up. If you're concerned about this, then I'd suggest that you don't recharge batteries in the Palmtop. That produces more heat than the double speed does. Granted this is not the same as the heat generated by electron flow in the CPU but heat is heat. One of the things that HP Corvallis did right was to design rugged machines based on their years of building calculators. They also printed very conservative specs: well within the bounds of their testing. So why did HP not offer a double speed option? Probably because the marketing weenies decided that longer battery life was better for sales than a faster machine. .ed. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 07:23:20 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: www/lx and irda with Ericsson SH888 Comments: To: Tomas Moberg MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Tomas > Just to be sure after al the discussion about the RF interference with > cellular phones. > I borrowed a SH888 and am now using it to send this message. > > But I did experience some problem when it got closer than 2 decimeters > to the hp200lx. welcome in the club! :-) If you have skills in electronics, please look at daniel.hplx.net/hplxir/index.html or, if this doesn't work: www.user.tu-berlin.de/dherbgba/hplxir/index.html GTX daniel -- Daniel Hertrich d.hertrich@gmx.de homepage: http://daniel.hplx.net telephone: +49 (0)177 795 55 49 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 11:06:27 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Franklin Eekhout Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Franklin Eekhout Subject: Re: External Keyboard Anybody look at the Ericsson snapon keyboard for writing SMS messages?

From the back page of the November issue of Photonics: Kids used to cheat on exams by passing notes. Now teenagers transmit data via the infrared ports of their calculators. "During the test, I can be giving answers across the room," said one student in a _New York Times_ article. Bearing little resemblance to the simple calcu- lators of our youth Ý1¨, these new graphing calculators draw, display text and run programs. In some countries they are used to teach program- ming basics, said technical sales manager Whit Hickman of Hewlett-Packard Co. After IR acces- sories are plugged in, the calculators can be reconfigured into universal remote controls, sending commands to televisions, VCRs and games. It didn't take long before someone figured out how to pass notes on this invisible wavelength. Hickman said the ability to cheat is overrated because the calculators have to be within a few inches of each other to work effectively; none- theless, Hewlett-Packard pulled the infrared feature from one of its latest models of graphing calculators. Of course, considering the time it takes for a kid to modify these devices, it might have been easier to simply learn the answers. The article seemed interesting enough that I thought others might appreciate reading it. My apologies to anyone offended.

The icon sort order defaults to "none". That's needed for the re-ordering to work. It can still be changed to alphabetical or date.

XF R.10 lets you set up a directory for unregistered EXMs. You should still be able to run 'em by pressing enter. (This works for me even for EXMs inside archives...

On the 200, you can type either 100, 200 or $sysmgr (95 compatible).

You can get an EMS driver for the LX that will convert part of the ramdrive into EMS memory. There are two drivers available AFAIK, one Japanese that is freeware and will require some fiddling to get working and one from Times2tech that is only available to T2T customers. However, while these drivers will give you EMS memory, which some programs can use, they will not allow you to load drivers high. I think this is an architectural constraint made by the 80186 processor, but others can probably tell you more. As for 200, it can hardly be called a TSR. It is the System Manager, where all the built-in apps are running. The more apps running the less memory will be available for the DOS prompt. A solution is to download a program called Maxdos from SUPER (www.palmtop.net). It is a TSR that can swap the running program out of memory and running a new one - that is it will swap the System Manager out of memory leaving you as much memory as possible for running DOS programs. Of course, while the SysMgr is swapped out you cannot switch back to it, the way you can with the regular DOS prompt from the SysMgr. In effect, using Maxdos gives the same amount of memory as quitting the System Manager all together (save 5-10kb of memory or so), but with the added advantage that you can have built-in programs open and still run large DOS programs. Make sure you have some room free on either A or C (preferred) for Maxdos' swap file, though. > p.s. one other quickie: I found I can load the system by hand from the > DOS rather than at boot-time. Is there any way to EXIT the system once > loaded (exit back to the bare DOS) ? Erm, you mean exit from the System Manager to DOS? if so, then yes there is. Press the '&...' button, open the menu and choose the item "Terminate {something}" I think (I use it daily yet cannot remember its name...). It is right next to close all apps. That will unload SysMgr/200 and put you back into DOS. From there you can use '200' to start the SysMgr again.

Well, there is no difference between the scripts you specify on the command line or the ones you place in a file (not under UNIX at least), it is only a matter of convenience and a script typed on the command line can always be placed in a file and run from there with -f instead. If what you're looking for are more complex scripts (which you would normally not write on the command line) then the Seder's Grab-bag at http://seders.icheme.org/ might be able to help you. There is also a book on sed, entitled "sed & awk" from O'Reilly that is pretty good (and not surprisingly, it also covers Awk).

I had NO REASON to think you use a bootleg copy, and I did not mean the comment in any other way but the funny comment. Please forgive me if this comment did not come across as funny. I am very very confident that you would not use a program inappropriately. I understand the point you make about the support and development. I think it is a bit like the chicken and the egg: What comes first - the customer base who demand features and development, or the development which generates the interest in the potential customers to become a buying customer... In my humble opinion, and I know Andreas is reading it - at least I hope he does - the customers have to drive the product, i.e. they have to say loudly and clearly what they want, and how, and in detail. This is what makes the author's heart buble over with joy :-) --- someone paying attention (and hopefully $$$) for his/her work. That is why I am asking that you describe more what you meant by scripting.

There is still a 50% duty cycle no matter how fast you switch so it is basically off half the time, but you are switching more often so there is a loss there as well. I can tell you from measuring the palmtop current that it only goes up about 15-25% when on.

I am not sure if Andreas ported anything or not, I never asked, he never told me :-) (Somehow, in the back of my mind I rather doubt he ported anything, because it would take him longer to do that than code his own. And you don't know, but the first cut at the program was so incredibly fast. I say that it would be longer to port because he'd have to adapt and plug in the PAL stuff in each spot, and that would make it very long... But as I said, I never asked, and I really do not know!) Anyway, I am sure Andreas is reading this too and will notice. So the scripts jump into action when there is some event for example, and execute something - such as a new person joining, will spark a "Welcome Joe" message from you or some such, right?

The power management hardware and software in the palmtop will shut the processor down when there is no work for it to do. This happens in between keystrokes and while the user is just reading the screen. And I suppose an argument can be made that the double speed units will actually accomplish their short computing tasks faster and therefore shut down the processor sooner resulting in less heat and less power being used - overall.

I know what 4 of them are Drive B: is traditionally the second floppy drive. Not applicable on the palmtop, but the drive letter is kind of reserved for that. I am not sure what your drive E: is. What happens when you try to go there with Filer? HP's default AUTOEXEC.BAT file loads the ASSIGN command which maps drive E: to be a synonym for A:. They do this because some old DOS programs assume A: is a floppy disk even though on the palmtop it is more like the main hard disk. So, you can tell those programs to use E: and they will be happier. But this is virtually a non-issue and I recommend that you remove any ASSIGN commands. ASSIGN takes up 6K or so of RAM and can cause other problems too. I am not sure what you G: drive is. What happens when you try to go there with Filer? Look in your CONFIG.SYS file for a LASTDRIVE=3D statement. This will give an indication of the highest drive letter DOS can use. Drive letters so not need to fill in just because a higher letter is used. For example I have A-E and then S & W as drive letters.

Yes, those apps do run on the LX under Windows and it is kind of nifty to hit the Windows icon in App Manager and see the Windows 'splash screen' = then have it load up Windows.

The bourne shell is one of many UNIX shells. A UNIX shell is roughly the equivalent of COMMAND.COM, used for doing stuff on the command line or making scripts (DOS Speak: batch files).

With the advent of Palm Pilots and WinCE, I find that a GUI, by itself, rarely impresses anyone anymore. I'm usually mindful of what apps to show what group of people when they ask to look at my LX. For my math class, I demo Derive, but in another two years, the TI-89 which has Derive built-in, will make that demo flat. For most people, I have a set of pcx snapshots to whip thru using LXPIC, with each photo already adjusted for best effect, but now days, someone almost always chimes in "that's like so-and-so pocket computer, only he/she has color!". For my relatives, I look-up Chinese astrology signs on my Lotus spreadsheet... except for the grandmothers who already know or can calculate them in their heads. For the kids, I have a handful of games (mostly Curtis') I can't impress any of my more literate friends with the cheapo dictionary I have because they know most of the words already ... I think I'd need Collins for that. I tell you ... it's getting harder to impress every passing year as Geek-dom slowly moves to mainstream .

Python: I haven't tried this myself, but I have heard of at least one person having success running a 16bit port of Python on the LX. 2. Perl: Perl4 runs well on the LX. While not as advanced as Perl5 (and memory can be a bit tight at times), it is okay for small scripts or just trying out ideas. There is a version of Perl available from www.palmtop.net (in the SUPER section) 3. C++: As with Perl, the versions of C++ that run on the LX do not have the latest enhancements that the language offers. The newest version of Borland C++ to work on the LX is BC++ 2.0. There might be an equivalent Microsoft product that also works, I dunno. 4. Java: no ports that I know of. Probably won't be either. People have other popular scripting languages running on the LX too - Rexx, and of course the bourne shell. > Please respond by e-mail.

There are several versions of C that work on the 200LX, plus Pascal, Basic (several varieties), Perl, assembly, and Forth. AFAIK, Java isn't possible. Not sure about C++. I'm partial to Forth or assembly. Other folks will probably come up with more languages that can be used.

A PDP-11 "lying around"? I thought it was too big to be applicable to that term :-) Anyway, I thought SCO (or whoever owns the rights to the old UNIX releases now?) were allowing free binary distribution of the early UNIXes, while you could buy a license (and get the source) for $100 or something.

I have done quite a few tests in the past with Filer, and its effects on battery current drain, the results of which are a little suprising as follows: 1) When entering System Manager from boot, to Topcard, current = 35mA 2) Open Filer & current drops to 25mA (or 30mA if serial port is on) 3) While Filer is open, even if in background, current remains at 25mA 4) Close Filer & current increases to 70mA and remains there with any application open 5) Close Filer and all applications, sitting at Topcard, current increases to 80mA 6) Return to DOS, current drops to 35mA (serial port power off) or 40mA (serial port power on) 7) Reload System Manager current remains 35mA - cycle repeats. Alternatively power off & on and cycle repeats. To summarise, the serial port, when on, consumes an extra 5mA, to reduce current consumption, keep Filer loaded at all times. Hope this makes sense, they are old notes.

Let me reply to the points you made... 1. Andreas tells me that he never ported anything, IRC/LX is original code. I wonder if the similarity of commands structure and function across all the IRC programs you cite is what confuses you? He has never seen other source code but he is aware that there is some IRCLL source laying about somewhere on the Internet. There was no sense to reinvent the commands, since there is already a well accepted set of commands. It's that "wheel reinvention" thing... :) 2. The introductory texts and tutorial to IRC that I have seen all say: Avoid scripts. This is a fairly consistent message across all the tutorial. 3. The IRC servers I have seen all declare: "No BOTS HERE!". Again, this is a consistent message. 4. Aside from the one example of greeting new logins, what other functionality owuld you obtain from scripting? Is there some useful application? You mentioned maintaining connection when away. How about command AWAY? Already does exactly that. It is server side command. 5. BTW, it is possible to use ROBOT/LX for some of the scripting needs you may have. Hope this helps some. Let me know about any useful functionality for scripts, it is interesting if you have any good idea in that area. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 16:37:22 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Programming the hp200lx Comments: To: Tom Salwasser MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > >> What languages can I use to program the HP200? << > > I've had good luck with Microfocus COBOL on my hp200 (No snickering > please!)

"Not ready reading drive E" when I try to Dir it. It is not assigned. We sometimes use SUBST with EXP storage cards to make the palmtop filer think that the EXP EPROM (where the driver is and the minifax etc) is drive E, and that the F: drive is really A:. Makes it nicer in Filer to see the EXP storage as drive A: ... > F: LX's original 2M C: drive That is because RDT2T swapped the C: and F: names. > G: SecureDevice encrypted drive Yes... > I don't know where that E: comes from. I don't have any ASSIGN or SUBST Not quite... You specified Lasdrive=g in your CONFIG.SYS. But E: is generally used as a "mirror" of A:. There are software packages stupid enough to assume that if you install on A or B then you must be installing on a floppy, and will not allow this (There is a Fax package that does it, cannot recall its name...) So you install it on E:, and all is well. After the girations during the booting of palmtops, this affinity is lost, and E: remains unassigned. Hence you cannot access it. Don't fret it, don't obsess it - it is meaningless... (my famous last words: Next time someone accesses it there will be smoke coming from his/her plamtop :-) ...)

Since the gates are off most of the time (current draw insignificant by end of clock cycle both at 1x and 2x) and they are pulsed 2x as often the current would double and P=IE tells you that the power doubles.

Look for it at www.palmtop.net Ok, actually, someone has already put maxdos on the system. Maybe it's not being used correctly...

Aaah, is this a modem program? (!) Since I just got the palmtop used from someone only about a week and a half ago I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to use the modem yet. It came with 2 actually, an older 9600 baud one and a 14,4, newer. 6.7K is pretty small and so I'm not too worried yet but thanks for the info! The real problem I have is that I don't know what a lot of these things do/are. Once I learned that I can 'turn off' (unload) the system (200 program) that freed up enough DOS for me to do what I wanted to do (basically, to run the Quick-C compiler/assembler). It's pretty big and it takes a while to compile but hey, to be able to carry the whole thing in my shirt pocket I'm not complaining! Thanks again for the info Steve, hopefully I'll be able to get to doing these things soon. If you can tell me any more about how to use (correctly) maxdos, that would be great!

I lost my brain, erm, stuff stored on the palmtop, directly due to some Ratshack NiMH's. I hadn't used the 200LX in about a week (busy, sick, et al) and when I went to turn it on there was nothing.. I put in alks, and the dreaded welcome screen came up.. So I replaced the backup battery and put some alkalines in there. Now, you're thinking the batteries just drained themselves.. Well, one was 1.22 V (without load) one was 150mV. It was working fine before, why it commited suicide I don't know. It's garbage now, of course.

All of it actually. Maxdos swaps the whole system manager setup to disk (or EMS) but only when starting a DOS program that needs a lot of space. For those you can insert maxdos in the path box in the "add application" screen. For example c:\bin\maxdos.com a:\evp\evp.exe Then when you start the app, maxdos does the swap to disk, and gives DOS all the available space (less maxdos itself and any TSRs installed before maxdos). The rest of the time maxdos doesn't do anything. > > > LXFONT 7.4K LXFONT is one of a whole group of font loaders that produce more legible fonts on the palmtop.

In my experience, a regulated supply is good enough that it won't zap anything as hardy as a 200LX. I recall that Thaddeus is selling an unregulated supply that nobody has complained about. An unregulated 12VDC car adapter isn't really an adapter except in the sense that it changes a cigarette plug into a barrel plug - other than that, you might as well be hooking the palmtop straight up to the battery posts. Since an unfiltered supply doesn't seem to affect the palmtop, and a regulated supply is better, there should be no reason to worry.

Doubling the clock rate doesn't double (or even increase) the rate of change of voltage over time. That's controlled by the RLC constants of the circuitry, which don't change. What *does* change is the number of clock *transitions* per time "t" -- that quantity doubles.

Hello all, I would like to know, if anyone uses BOTH Sharp PC-3100 and HPLX DOS palmtops. I know few people had both and device characteristics differ much, so Sharp was used mainly by the less technically oriented crowd; but maybe one answers. I'm especially interested in differences: what you use them for and which is more likely to be carried with you on different occasions. Do you synchronize the two? Now that backlight is coming for LX, comments on low-light readibility of the Sharp LCD are welcome; as well as mails from users, who wear glasses. Does the slightly larger basic font size mean a true advantage over 200LX? I guess the big Sharp keyboard worth the size penalty, but does LCD too? Did you consider it's Y2K condition? I mean MS-DOS 3.30 they have in ROM is not OK. Any solution needed / found? European list members do you know of a place where the Sharp PC3000 / PC3100 can be purchased, used or new? There is an American website, offering new PC3000s for 159$, but I'm not convinced if they're still alive as a company.

If memory serves from my comp.sys.palmtop days (I almost never go there anymore), I think you are more likely to find a lot more hplx/Poqet users than any of the other older palmtop combinations. This due mainly to recent (3 years)deep discounts on a large quantity of Poqets. I am one of those. Does that count? There are a number of hplx/libretto users, plus a huge number of hplx/laptop users, notably among them hplx/omnibook users. > what you use them for and which is more likely to be carried > with you on different occasions. Do you synchronize the two? I used my Poqet heavily in college for typing. Not much anymore, though I keep it, thinking of going back for my Phd. I use flash cards on my hplx, which none of the older palmtops use, so even though synchronization is not too difficult, it's troublesome enough not to do it often. Obviously the smaller one would be carried more. > Now that backlight is coming for LX, comments on low-light > readibility of the Sharp LCD are welcome; as well as mails > from users, who wear glasses. Does the slightly larger basic > font size mean a true advantage over 200LX? I guess the big > Sharp keyboard worth the size penalty, but does LCD too? I don't know about the Sharp, but the Poqet is better than the hplx in ideal lighting conditions. In low light, I don't know of any non-backlit palmtops that are easier to read than the HP200LX. I do wear glasses, and the larger font is definitely worth the low prices you can get these days for an old palmtop. And there is a backlit Poqet which accepts flash cards (the Poqet plus), but with its larger and heavier lithium battery which only lasts a few hours, it really stretches the definition of a palmtop. Most of the older palmtops, including the first Poqet, use AA batteries, which usually last between days and weeks, not just hours. > Did you consider it's Y2K condition? I mean MS-DOS 3.30 > they have in ROM is not OK. Any solution needed / found? The Poqet web site tells us that the Poqet, with DOS 3.30 also, will be ok for y2k (i guess the built-in programs seem so). I think it might be possible to download those from somewhere, though some other Y2K ready DOS application would be better.

And about how many of them had something in the notes field? The sum of records + number of notes fields with something in them is limited to 5000. In other words, a record with notes data counts as two towards the 5000 limit.

Subject: LXBatch, running out of variables? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone ever ran out of variables in LXBatch? I think I have run into the 100-var wall, but I'm not sure. (Don't really want to sit and count all the variables in the source.. :) I am adding multiple UID functionality to LXPGP (yes, I still tinker with it occationally :) and have added five variables, a yes/no to use the MUID functions, and four UID's. However, it won't store all four UID's, only two.. Be it one and two, or one and three, whatever.. (I have it doing a message "@uida@ @uidb@....") And even when I exit out of the dialog for storing the MUID's and reenter, only one is actually there. It would be a big rewrite to read/write variables on the fly, and I imagine it would slow things down a lot as well.. And I've browsed the source and haven't used any variables that I don't either clear or what not.. Scary thing is, most of the variables are assigned when doing some PGP activity, unless LXB allocates all variables in a program on startup (even those in subroutines) or something, I could have even more trouble later on with PGPifying breaking. I'm not the brightest programmer, anyone else have an idea to avoid the variable limit if I have indeed reached it? Maybe hack the binary like I used to do for games, search for 0x64h and change it to something larger.. :) Perhaps I would be exercising my restore script again, though.. :( Thanks! -- Walter Francis http://wally.hplx.net Powered by RedHat 6.0 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 11:25:40 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Fryday Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Fryday Subject: Re: eBay & Palm Comments: To: lfeldman@USA.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What about buying a cheap CE machine on EBay (Casio Cassiopea goe for less than 100$ and using the Pocket Explorer.

It would be nice, but it would be a major undertaking. It took a staff of hot-shot programmers at HP and Lotus several years to get it right... well, almost right. Before that, we need to have turnkey, synchronization software for Outlook, Act, Lotus Notes, Organizer, and the LX. On another note, in reply to the question, "Why didn't HP include the DB apps in its Windows CE handhelds????" I suppose it was because "Access-Lite" wasn't in the specs. As I see it, MS built a machine that would require little or no support. To do that, they left out all the things that beget questions such as spreadsheet macros, commandline access to the operating system, batch files, database apps, etc. --all of the things that I personally find fascinating.

WP is a fully fledged word processor, not "just" a text editor like PE. They serve different purposes - I wouldn't want to write my programs in WP but OTOH I wouldn't want to write text in PE if I needed different font styles, text centering, etc. WP never struck me as a "heavy" program. It's text based, so there is no GUI. It is certainly much larger than PE, though.

The contact and appointment applications have decent capabilities but they are somewhat harder to use than the LX. The operating system is a bit of a hog but 8MB is enough to do the basics. The channel browser is nice but you can do much the same things with HV, although it's a lot more automated when used with IE4 and activesynch. Activesynch is kinda weird. It seems to work sporadically, although I've heard good things about it so it may be something on my end. It's got some features that are nice and it was a great value at $90 total. It's got a voice recorder and the most intelligent handwriting recognition I've seen (Maybe Newton was better?). The virtual keyboard is still faster but I think that, with practice, the handwriting may get quicker. People complain about the OS being slow but I found it to be zippy enough. I haven't gotten annoyed with it yet. It's a little large for a palm device but not exceedingly so. It fits the hand nicely and has space to rest the heel of your hand. It has a burnished aluminum case that is a blue color. The screen is not as good as the LX but is very readable in normal room light. In any dim light you have to use the back light. It's got a feature where you can make the back light come on whenever the pen taps. You can also leave the light on indefinitely until the unit auto powers off. I haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life. It comes with a serial cable and power adapter. All in all, I'd say that the $90 price can't be beat. I recently bought a Casio PV-200 for my wife at the same price and this is a much better value (My wife still likes the PV-200 better, tho 'cause it's simple.) If what you want is a WinCE device then the Nino 210 on onsale auction is a good choice. It can never be a replacement for an HP200LX unless all you use the LX for is a PDA. If you're loking for something that can interface nicely with Outlook and IE4 offline content then the Nino is a good choice. I plan to try running the XT-CE emulator and see how bad it is. Once I have a CF card for it I'll try. Even with 8MB space is at a premium because WinCE takes about 3MB to run. >-----Original Message----- >From: Tom Salwasser Ýmailto:TomSalwasser@COMPUSERVE.COM¨ >Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 1999 6:43 AM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: ÝHPLX-L¨ Windoze CE %$# > > >Message text written by Ed Padin > >BTW: No messages about how "Windoze CE sux".

Turbo C++ v2.0 (or Borland C++ v2.0) is the latest (Borland) C++ compiler to work on the LX, but it also handles plain ANSI C, better than TC2.0 I imagine. I've had TC 2.0 with GUI on the LX and it worked nicely (once you alter the colours to suit the LX). I've also had TC++ 2.0 on the palmtop, but removed it due to space constraints...

I remember now. It had something like 16 lines by 40 characters in the LCD. This was just before they released the HP 125, correct? I was working at a steel foundry as a DP Manager then and we bought the HP 125 (my brother also bought one too). I was looking at the HP 110 but never bought one. I bought a Vector Graphic 3000 as my first computer (CPM O/S). My first HP computer was an HP 95. First HP calculator was an HP 12C. Since the 95, I bought next a HP 100, and now the HP 200.

The 125 was a CPM machine. The 125 looked exactly like an HP2621 or similar 12" screen terminal, except for the HPIB connector on the back for the disk drives, and could have a printer in the top. I had one of these, built out of a HP2621 with a little help from the division that produced them (Santa Rosa Terminal Division?). There was an HP120 which was a similar CPM machine, but was the size of a 2382 terminal with a 9" screen, like the later HP150. The calculator-like machine with built-in BASIC came from Colorado, IIRC, and grew out of instrument controllers. I think that grew into the 9826/36, but I can't recall the model number. HP had their computer development spread all over the place, with not a lot of consistency, although every now and then wierd things would work together. This got MUCH better after we got email by UUCP spread through a lot of development parts of the company. 73, doug ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 21:49:31 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Alchemist Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alchemist Subject: Re: eBay & Palm Comments: To: David Ball MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----Original Message----- From: David Ball To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Date: Tuesday, December 21, 1999 8:58 PM Subject: Re: eBay & Palm >Unfortunately, the Palmpilots do not come with a keyboard...which is >absolutely essential, in my view. There are quite a few keyboard options... Silkyboard is one that comes to mind, its a QWERTY keyboard overlay that overlays the 'GRAFITTI' area of the palm and you can type on it without having an onscreen keyboard overlapping your screen. Just tap away with the pen. A friend of mine uses this setup daily with his SprintPCS phone to telnet into routers and his network. (hes a network admin)... Not a bad internet solution... weighing under a pound all said and done. :) Basically picture a Palm with a tiny keyboard where the 'handwriting' area is and thats what im talking about... works pretty well.... there are 3-4 companies doing it, and there are a couple external keyboards for the palm as well... one even folds up when not in use. Is it an HP? no! can it run DOS? no! but it is suprisingly useful... its no accident that palm is so much more popular than WindowsCE.

It also had an editor and several other programs in ROM. It didn't have Basic in it. I added Pascal 3.02 and used the machine for a couple of years until the Portable Plus came along. It had an 80X14 screen that was almost unreadable because of the reflective coating. (Hence the title for my 17 year running column: "Through the Looking Glass.")

I kept our data base of subscribers on it. I created our marketing literature on it and printed to the LaserJet. Does your HP110 really work? The problem is its battery which powers the thing. Hard to believe that is still working. The HP110is like the HP 95LX (sort of DOS compatible, half screen, good built-ins). The Portable Plus (like the 100LX/200LX) came out after that.

Pick you're favourite. Here's my thinking on the choices. "Several" is the operative word on AA batteries.. Keyboards are, relatively speaking, power hogs. Especially when you turn all the LEDs on at once. If you need 6 AA's, then a built-in li-ion (but, now you have to carry a recharger) pack will be smaller. That's why maybe a cell phone battery would work. You have to carry a spare (and/or a recharger) anyway, so why not double duty. Since you're taking the keyboard from a computer, then maybe using it as the power source is not so bad. Or, if you're near a computer with a keyboard, you'll be near a power outlet, so just use the wall wart.

HP use to sell a unit called Starlink (F1028a) for around $200.00 It was a PCMCIA type II card that ran off of one AAA battery. Also available was a unit called Zap-It by USRobotics ($300.00). If I recall Zap-It required some type of coverage plan, forgot what type if any was needed for the HP unit. I'm not for sure if any of these unit are still available, but a good place to check is MobilePlanet http://www.mplanet.com. Ok! Just found an old number for the HP service 1-800-917-LINK.

Custom electronics inside the unit makes this possible, since the Palm Pilot supplies 5V through its connector. A standard keyboard design is not going to be so concerned about power, and the 200LX serial port does not provide any appreciable power. > There is an adapter available that uses, I think, > two AA batteries and lets you use any keyboard.

I did use a zoom 14.4 pocket modem that cost me $30 on ebay... oh, also about $10 for 2 9-pin serial adapters from radio shak. These CE machines are still not quite up there as far as utility is concerned but they've come a long way. I'd still take an LX over the Nino but I am impressed. The XT-CE does not work well, tho. The little Nino screen can't fit it all in so it's very hard to see. It's like running 80 column DOS apps on the HP95LX... Why bother?

There's supposed to be a limit but I have never heard of anyone that actually wore one out. The general rules is 'Don't worry about it. By the time it runs out it'll be obsolete'. I would say that as long as you use it the normal way one would use it then you're okay. I wouldn't put flash card in, say... a web server but a 200LX under normal use should last for years and years. Also, try to buy a sandisk card. They are by far the best quality card. Stay away from Pretec!!! I bought a 40MB one for $300 and got burned. The thing was slow as hell and died completely after a year. > > >>Net-Tamer V 1.11.2 - Registered > >Way to go!

Take it from a fellow Nettamer Registree, I'm sure Uncle Dave (Colston) is pleased...I just wish he'd come out with a version 2 already... Nettamer is nice but it needs to be cleaned up a bit. Better browser and give us back telnet capability in the palmtop version.

Both binary and source distributions are freely available. There are some major changes from versions 1.X, so please read the lxtcp.doc file carefully when upgrading. A summary of the changes follows: 1/ LXTCP is now linked against the latest version of WatTCP. 2/ The default configuration file name has changed to "tcp.cfg". 3/ DHCP support is now compiled in (thanks to Steve Lawson), but it is not documented yet, so try it out at your own risk of frustration. I'll try to document it before the next release. 4/ The functionality of LXPOP and LXNNTP have been combined into a single executable called LXMTA (MTA = Mail Transport Agent). 5/ Support for IMAP has been included in LXMTA. 6/ Many configuration options have changed and new options have been added - read the documentation carefully so you can update your configuration file. 7/ LXDNS has been added to enable forward and reverse nameserver queries. For the minor changes, please see the documentation. For those who don't know what LXTCP is, here's an excerpt from the documentation: LXTCP is a collection of freeware software programs for the HP200LX palmtop that provides clients (and sometimes servers) for various TCP/IP protocols (such as SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP, FTP, TELNET, etc). Connectivity to the corresponding TCP/IP protocol servers or from the corresponding TCP/IP protocol clients is via one of the following mechanisms: a) a PPP connection via a serial cable b) a PPP connection via a PCMCIA or external modem c) a direct Ethernet connection via a PCMCIA ethernet card At the present time, seven LXTCP programs are available. The LXTCPCFG program checks your configuration file, and (if you are using BOOTP) the response of your BOOTP server. The LXPING program checks your connectivity to other computers. The LXDNS program checks the response of your nameserver, and allows you to resolve a fully qualified domain name into an IP address. The LXMTA program allows you to transfer mail from your HP200LX to your SMTP server, transfer mail from your POP or IMAP server to your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the Palmtop News Reader), and transfer news between your NNTP server and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the Palmtop News Reader). The LXFTP program is an FTP client for the HP200LX with quite versatile scripting capabilities. The LXTELNET program is a TELNET client for the HP200LX with multiple session capability, and also serves as an FTP server. The LXRSH program allows you to run commands on a remote host. Note that the source distribution also includes a preliminary version of an INETD implementation for the HP200LX, including support for the "echo", "discard", "daytime", "chargen", "time" services, and a simple virtual web server.

Because PE starts counting with cursor position 1 you have to move the cursor to position 12 in the first line. There you will find the character '.' which is the ascii code for 0x2E. Overwrite this character with your preferred hotkey. In your case you have to enter Alt-P as decimal value by keeping pressed Alt-Menu and entering 25 on the NumPad. A down arrow should appear instead of the point. Save the file and exit. Now Alt-P should act as the AUTOCAPS hotkey. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 Dec 1999 09:12:58 +0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Rachmat Irfan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rachmat Irfan Subject: Re: AUTOCAPS 2.0 Comments: To: Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain We should give Stefan big Applause for his excellent work !

To the hplx, it looks exactly like a modem, accepting at commands et al. for the ricochet, all you need to do is configure you're dial-up script to use the phone number "777" instead of what you would normally dial. the ricochet doesn't use a login/password as the modem itself authenticates you on their network. i've only used these with pppd/lxtcp/misc. packet driver dos software, but i remember someone else on the list uses it with www/lx for the cdpd modems, the dial-up scripts just use different commands i have yet to try using a pcmcia cdpd modem, so am not sure if it will work, however, my friends have a few different vender models i should try out. --francois On Wed, Dec 22, 1999 at 08:23:26PM -0800, John Carlo wrote: > Francois, > I have just gotten a 200LX /1Mb to replace my 100 and am trying to get > wireless connection using a modem other than the hard wired Megahertz Pocket > modem... > > Tell me how you are configuring the Ricochet to your LX and so on.... > TIA > JohnCarlo > johncarlo@mindspring.com > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Blah...Just Blah.. > To: > Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 1999 12:22 PM > Subject: Re: Wireless 200lx > > > > i've used external cdpd modems (novatel sage and the sierra wireless > pocket > > plus) and ricochet modems without problems.. the cdpd is on the slow > > side but in general has good coverage, the ricochet is speedy in > comparison > > but coverage is limited. > > > > --francois > > > > > > On Wed, Dec 22, 1999 at 10:03:04AM -0800, Ashwin Balan wrote: > > > Is there any wireless options for the 200lx, besides a cellphone? > > > Any help would be apperciated > > > > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > > > > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 19:44:31 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Steven (Casey) Karp" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Steven (Casey) Karp" Subject: Database help needed Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Maybe I'm just dense, but I can't figure out how to do this one...

This isn't exactly what you are asking for, but it should do what you want. Put "-Recd" in the field. The hyphen is a logical NOT, according to the manual.

The major differences between 1.0 and 2.0 are: 1. Version 2.0 is ONLY a threader, very similar to PNRTI for PNR, except that it threads the email into ccMail compatible files. I recommend heartily Rod Whitby's LXMTA as the transfer mechanism to get emails to / from your HPLX. 2. Version 2.0 (in conjunction with LXMTA) will receive newsgroups, and automatically put the data in a folder named for the newsgroup, if such a folder exists in ccMail. I built it to send Newsgroup info as well, but right now I have not gotten that working yet. My next "to do" is to build a method for smart routing of incoming email wrt folders. I am interested in what users of ccLXPOP would like to see in this area. My initial idea is a file that contains the field to look for, the value to search for, and the name of the folder to put it in: Sample: From: mygirlfriend@giggles.org Love Letters Subj: Fluff Light Reading Etc. The test would be a simple "is the string in that field" test, and each received email would be tested against the rules in the order in which they are stated in the rule file - most important first. I would appreciate any ideas you have in this area. Also, if you are interested in testing version 2.0 Beta 1 of ccLXPOP, drop me a note and I'll send it to you right away.

This gave me the following HPLX's to do some testing on: 1. A standard HP 100 LX (I will be selling soon, contact me if interested) 2. A double clocked 5MB HP 200 LX (original 2MB, upgraded to 5MB) 3. A standard HP 200 LX 1Mb I tested the above units with the following PCMCIA Cards: 1. 10Mb HP brand flashdisk (no stacker software installed) 2. 32Mb Toshiba Compact Flash card with adapter 3. 48Mb Viking ATA Flash Card I decided to do some power consumption tests on these. I will discuss my conclusions, then present my data, in what may be a bass ackwards method, but if you don't want to read a long email, you can just read the conclusions. 1. There is almost no difference in power consumption between the IR LED on the HP 100 LX and the HP 200 LX. The difference in range must be due to something else - quality of LED, parasitic load to reduce range, something. This does beg the idea of what modifications could be done to use the current the HP is supplying to the LED more effectively. Current increase from use of the IR LED went from 20 ma (Standby) to 60 mA (IR energized, 115200 baud rate) 2. The CF flash disk is the most efficient in terms of power consumption, followed by the ATA Flash Card, followed by the HP Flash Disk. The breakdown is as follows (these values are all in the non- doublespeeded HP 200 LX) Continuous CF VIKING ATA HP 10 Mb FlashDisk READ: 85 mA 102 mA 110 mA WRITE: 83 mA 107 mA 150 mA The source codes for the programs used to force the continuous read / write tests are available on request. There is one caveat to this comparison - in the double-speeded 5Mb unit both the ATA and the CF card were equally bad at 200 mA during read/write cycles. See below. 3. My double speeded HP 200 LX suffers from the large (Factor of six (6)) increase in standby current draw when that I have hypothetically linked to PCMCIA ATA Flash Disk. I say hypothetically, as I have been unable to reduce the current consumption, even after 24 hours with the battery terminals shorted together and backup battery removed. I intend to try and do some further testing on this, but I use my HPLX too much to support any longer without it. I believe that that difference is due to one of two things: a. There is some sort of interaction between the ATA disk and the HPLX that causes it never to go into "light sleep." I was trying to eliminate this as a possible cause through the 24 discharge test that I detail above. b. The 4Mb upgrade I bought uses more power. I bought the upgrade several (three?) years ago, but not from either Mack or Thaddeus (that was probably the biggest mistake!). Mack has previously noted that the double speed itself causes about a 15% increase in consumption, so I have eliminated that as a possible cause. I plan to do some further testing in this regard (maybe pulling off the 4MB upgrade long enough to do the tests) but I have to admit that is not a top priority right now! This factor of six increase in power consumption is not a huge deal to me, right now because of my usage patterns - most of the time I use my HPLX at my desk at home (where I have an adapter) or at my desk at work (where I also have an adapter). I did note that this was an issue a while back - I had used a set of lithium batteries in the unit (don't remember if it was before or after 4Mb upgrade) and they had lasted over a month. I recently used a set up in under 6 days, but I use my HP a great deal (see comment above about not wanting to be without it for more than a day - maybe two on the weekends!). Hope this is of use to you.

I have ordered one. The blurb runs: Happy Hacking Cradle $49.00. Gives you the power to type directly to your Palmconnected organizer with any PS/2 keyboard. Realize the full potential of your Palm organizer. Respond to your e-mail, create documents, and use more Palm Computing platform applications. The standard PS/2 connector on the side of Happy Hacking Cradle unit accepts any PS/2 keyboard, and the driver software supports both 101-key and 104-key keyboards. The serial port at the back of the cradle enables you to connect your modem or other Palm Computing peripheral. Selector switch on the side of Happy hacking Cradle unit changes active port (keyboard or serial port). Compact size The cradle collapses to 1" x 3.5" x 4.6", (slightly larger than a deck of playing cards) making it convenient for people on the move. Battery Powered Batteries inside the cradle allow you to type without draining power from the batteries in your Palm connected organizer. Type as long as 500 hours on two AA batteries (depending on the power consumption of your keyboard). Seems to me an ace idea. It was something like this I kept pushing at Hewlett-Packard and they kept ducking. My logic is that many business people are travellers like me. We need something to write up our notes. With a proper keyboard the 200LX would have done that for me marvellously. As it was I had to carry my Hewlett-Packard Omnibook 430 and mess around doing transfers using memory cards. I never expected it to be my *only* computer. But I wanted it to be my *only* computer when I travelled which I do extensively. What I now do is use a Sinclair Z80 -- probably before your time, almost no one else has ever heard of it -- which has rubber keys and runs of four AA batteries but has a full sized keyboard.

I haven't tried this lately but I don't recall hanging the computer while using BC 2.0. I never did use EMS with the compiler. Wonder if that might be where the problem lies. Do you have BC 2.0.

These units will work with most modern laptops and Linux, and they come with Win95 drivers (you need to configure them with a WIn95 PC I imagine). Anyone familiar with these units?

Dale: I'll double-check my copy of the 1278 software - I have it around here somewhere. It never occurred to me that it would run on the 200LX - my experience has been limited to using the 200LX as a terminal emulator. I *have* run the software with the miniature TNC (the one that liiks like a gender changer). The company escapes me right now - is that the Baycom TNC? So at least *one* package works with the 200LX - the one I remember is more advacned than just a terminal emualtor, although I think it's pretty specific to that particular TNC. I wouldn't expect to be able to run it with my MFJ 1278, for example. Maybe Jeff can pipe in and help here... I'll reply again when I get my hands on my MFJ software. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Transport. Maybe what I have seen has more to do with PostLx than with Dos email in general.

The question is WHY does E: exist at all? I can only assume HP created the E: drive as part of the DOS kernal because it gets created BEFORE the config.sys is run. The Alternate Boot options allow for NOT using any config.sys (and autoexec.bat) while booting. If you try this you'll find that the E: drive has been defined (although it can't be read). This means it is part of the core LX rom and not something the user caused to be created. cheers...

Maybe you confuse Post/LX which is an email clinet program with HV which is a Web-browsing client? In the case of HV, I made statements before that more and more of the internet is filling with "gadgety" things like Java, Javascript, imagemaps, and so on. These constructs are not well supported by HV - at least by comparison to the 17Megabyte Netscape I have installed on my Omnibook 800CT, for example :) ... More and more Websites have documents that HV is less and less able to "paint" on the Palmtop screen. I also made a statement that we are not likely to change HV, for various reasons. (HV has always been freeware, and always remain so.) This HV issue has nothing to do with email processing via Post/LX. Perhaps that is the confusion? > > I added IMAP support, but every ISP I've seen that offers IMAP > > also offers POP, so I don't think that's a differentiator. > > > Since I don't use Postlx, and I just recently got an external modem for > my palmtop, > I may not know the true nature of previous discussions on this matter. > Something to do with either the connection or the download from certain > ISP's which > previously worked.

Sorry if I sound ignorant on this matter. Ah, I think I know what you may be talking about... Let me reconstruct three possibilities for you: 1. Fairly recently with AT&T Global - they were sending empty pages to HV. It seems to be related to their method of caching after all. This has nothing to do with email. 2. Much further in the past, there were 2 major threads: a. The usage of CHAP in the login process. Most ISPs have now moved to using this protocol during the login. It also happens to be a protocol that Microsoft "invented" (years after it had been in usage on the Internet :-) ...) and called MSCHAP. In fact, they modified MSCHAP ever so slightly from CHAP then "invented" it! So much from Redmond innovation :( MSCHAP is the built-in default protocol built into Windows DUN (Dial Up Networking) facility. There were a few cases of ISPs who utilised some of the more obscure features of MSCHAP in their server software, rendering their servers relatively incompatible with the world, except when the customer ran a full installation of Microsoft Internet connection. This is not as prevalent a case as you may assume. b. There was a discussion about how ISPs combat SPAMMERS. Many of them have now changed their operation so their SMTP server is not publically available, i.e. SPAMMERS cannot use their SMTP server to send millions of junk emails. ISPs have taken various steps: - they require that you login into their netwrok, i.e. use their phone numbers. AT&T Worldnet is a prime exampe. - they require that email you send out carries your own email address. There was one ISP in Hong Kong that used that dim-witted method, causing their customers lots of grief! BTW, Metricom (of the Ricochet fame) is another idiot-ISP requiring such an address...) The problem is that customers cannot reply to messages from other email addresses they have. - they require that you authenticate yourself before you can use their SMTP. That means they know who you are because you gave them an id and password. The way they do it is by requiring you access your POP3 first, then the SMTP, i.e. get your email first (requiring an id and a password). My ISP requores that, and they then let me send over their SMTP anything I want for about 10 minutes before the "window" closes again... Post/LX is not in the way for the first type, or the second type, and for the third type we offer a smple solution: Add in POST.CFG, in the email section for the ISP requiring POP3 access first, the following line: POPFirst=1 which will force Post/LX to get the email first from the POP3 server, providing id and password, then send email through the SMTP server. Hopefully this summarises the three topics for you. If there was another thread on it I cannot right now recall... We wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! Avi M.

It may be the Baycomm tnc your thinking of. Tigertronics makes a very small one, as well. I believe there are a couple of others, too. I do have an update on the problem. I just got a trial copy of XPCOM downloaded and transferred to my LX. It SEEMS to work ok. By that, I mean that it does communicate with the tnc, I am able to change modes, etc. I do receive data, but I have not been able to guess the correct mode/speed combination yet to get anything intelligible. At any rate, my LX does not hang up!!! So, it seems to be something about Baycomm and MFJCom and MultiCom. I would stop at this point and be happy with XPCom, but I also need the Weather Fax and the MFJ programs provide that capability. Let me know what you find out.

Dale: I'll double-check my copy of the 1278 software - I have it around here somewhere. It never occurred to me that it would run on the 200LX - my experience has been limited to using the 200LX as a terminal emulator. I *have* run the software with the miniature TNC (the one that liiks like a gender changer). The company escapes me right now - is that the Baycom TNC? So at least *one* package works with the 200LX - the one I remember is more advacned than just a terminal emualtor, although I think it's pretty specific to that particular TNC. I wouldn't expect to be able to run it with my MFJ 1278, for example. Maybe Jeff can pipe in and help here...

I live in Switzerland, work in architecture/ engineering/planning and am often between USA and Far East. I read the November archives to get up to speed. I didn't want to download the individual Dec. digests so please forgive any inadvertent repetitiveness (or lack of knowledge). I'm a Mac power user but also work with PCs (which is what most of my colleagues work with). Some years back I ditched my Psion 3 for a 3a until I dropped it. Although I had a very heavy investment in proprietary Psion peripherals, I opted to replace it with a HP200lx 2mb and soon bought a backup 1mb unit, flash cards etc. and never regretted it. It always annoyed me that the Psion never accepted standard PCMCIA cards and a modem still is a clumsy external device, even with the latest 5mx. Recently my 2mb unit LCD screen has a problem so I started looking over everything again. Even though the new Psion 5mx Pro has 24mb ram and uses CF, and there were all these Palm type and CE devices, I wasn't really convinced by any of them. All the reasons ever voiced on this list qualify as mine too! Personally the great thing about the HPLX is its power, versatility and form factor. The instant on databases, note-taking and agenda are superb for my needs. The sheer peace of mind in carrying a lot of files/docs that I might need is also very reassuring when travelling. of Anything bigger than my jacket pocket and I go straight to at least a subnotebook. The Win to WinCE conversion inconvenience and form factor are not for me. Probably the "geekiness" of DOS has most prevented mainstream users from adopting the HPLX. However, after several years of comfortable complacency I was shocked to learn that the HP200LX had been discontinued. Further considering that I'm trying to get my 15 year old daughter into serious computing (it seems the tough Swiss gymnasiums (=U.S. high school) don't offer much computing), I've lately taken a renewed interest in the HP as I also want to give her one. She needs a scientific calculator, note taking, agenda so I'm bribing her with some games in one package. Now, not meaning to (re)start several threads, my various questions are: --Are MaxDOS and HDM suitable/sufficient to be a substitute for Super Carousel or just for pure DOS environment apps? --Is Super Carousel more useful for keeping a lot of built-in apps open? --What is the consensus preferred/recommended email read/write/send app? (web surfing is not too important, and if by wireless, far too costly here) --is Accis 4.0 worth the upgrade? I never used my 3.0 and bought it just before Educalc went out of biz. --or should I be using WWW-LX? --Does a double speed upgrade cause any screen legibility problems? (this seemed to be occasionally the case in a November thread) --since I'm not USA based and inter-border transactions in Europe are still a major hassle, is a double speed upgrade a DIY operation or better to send it to Thaddeus when I'm stateside (but I need my PB/DB)? --are there any compatibility/timing problems with a DS upgrade on any apps? --any cons to the known pros of DS/ram upgrades? --on my main HP200LX the screen has a vertical line about 3mm from the left edge. If I massage or bend the screen slightly, it goes away. But sometimes the whole screen gets erratic and shows a heavy pattern of randomly moving black lines (almost as if it was an electrical disturbance). It's enough of a problem that I don't use it any more. I'm fairly handy and was wondering if HP listers would think this is more of a screen problem or a screen cable problem? I read a suggestion on cleaning the cable and that apparently corrected his screen problem? Anyway, before I dive in, a little guidance would be most appreciated. --finally who's a good source for rear battery covers? Best wishes to everyone for the holidays!

MaxDOS and HDM are both for DOS apps only. I use X-Finder and MaxDOS on my 200LX. Don't have SSC, so can't answer from experience - but from what I understand it can make it much easier to switch between DOS sessions and System Manager sessions. > --What is the consensus preferred/recommended email read/write/send = app? > (web surfing is not too important, and if by wireless, far too costly = here) > --is Accis 4.0 worth the upgrade?

Hmmm - there are way too many good options available for there to be a consensus 8-) I use WWW/LX with Post/LX, and have for years. It's a great program. I've also tried Goin' Postal and found it to work very well, but saw no particular reason to switch from Post/LX. > --Does a double speed upgrade cause any screen legibility problems?

A 912 byte TSR that enhances typing on the LX by automatically capitalizing the first words of sentences and on any character key that's depressed twice in rapid succession. The TSR can be toggled off if it gets in the way, and the time between keystrokes on a double-clicked shift is adjustable. Basically lessens your dependency on the shift key, which has always been a nuisance to me with one-handed typing (ie, while standing).

This is the classic symptom of the hinge-crack problem. As I understand it, the friction to keep the screen from flopping freely is near the right side of the hinge. Repeated opening and closing of the display fatigues the plastic on that side, and a crack will develop there, visible on top of the unit when the display is closed. When this happens, it stresses the solder connections which connect the display to the board, and some vertical columns of pixels on the left side of the display start to go out. Thaddeus in the US fixes this. Mine started missing four or five pixel columns, then one day a small drop onto carpet caused the display to go completely out. After I sent it to Thaddeus, it came back with the display fixed, and with a new top cover with no crack, plus the latch to keep the cover closed had been fixed. >Best wishes to everyone for the holidays!

Hi Lars & All, First of all, Happy Holidays! AUTOCAPS is a TSR to speed up typing of capital letters on a keyboard. It automatically capitalizes the first letter of a sentence. In addition, double click of a character at the beginning of any word also capitalizes the beginning of this word. It works with national characters and also runs on desktops. It uses about 900 bytes of memory. HTH Regards, Qman...

Hi David Ball, To answer you question, MS choose not to include Pocket IE and other standard HPC apps on the Palm-Sized PCs. So iBrowser an others where developed to fulfill this need.

Hi David B, Actually I sold my 360LX and bought the Jornada 420. What sold me on the 420 was the size of the unit in total, its about 1-2 inches shorter than 200LX. Ok, maybe the color had a little to do with. Anyway the 320LX is a great choice for a WinCE newbie, have fun. (:-) Note: a 360lx is basically a 320lx but with WinCE 2.0, more ram, and white backlighting. BTW: For me its works like this, 200LX by day and Jornada by night. (:-) Why? Hint: Backlighting! Now if I could get David S. to trade me his 32MB, backlit 200LX. for my 200lX and Jornada 420. That would fix it all. How about it, buddy...old pal..... (:-) Happy Holidays everybody!

I don't think the built-in apps have a "Merge letter" function like that. The closest you'll get, probably, is to use something like WordPerfect and import the data in comma-delimited format and then merge from within WP.

Hi: I originally owned a Sharp Wizzard years ago I got in Hong Kong and loved it. It wore out and I "lucked out" and got a HP200LX from Educalc years ago. I now have two units, both HP200/LX double speed with 64 MB Memory. I also have a nice desktop with lots of bells and whistles and just ordered a new IBM 600x notebook. However I use the HP200/LX now and will continue to use it 90% for email and data keeping etc. I do not have Super Carousel but do use HDM and MaxDOS. I thus cannot comment on the one, but the other works 100% fine for me. I have **lots** of applications loaded and HDM works fine. No problems. I only keep one app open at a time and cannot comment on keeping several apps open at the same time as I have no need to. > > --What is the consensus preferred/recommended email read/write/send app? > (web surfing is not too important, and if by wireless, far too costly here) > --is Accis 4.0 worth the upgrade?

AcCIS4 is most useful if you access the forums on Compuserve. If you want power and email capabilities, WWW/LX is the better. Easier address books, better functionality with the HP200/LX. Both work 100% fine, but I use acCIS4 for Compuserve forums. If I only want email I use WWW/LX.

Now who knows. Likely someone else will comment. I am sending this on WWW/LX..POST/LX and sitting on the beach at 8:02:49 am on an absolutely beautiful morning on a beach with noone to be seen.

I have not really followed the thread in detail but there is the issue of sysmgr interfering with serial port activities when in dos. There is a "polling" or some other action that occurs on a very regular interval where the sysmgr checks for data on the serial port. It can interfere with dos communications programs. There are ways of locking the port or terminating sysmgr before running such software in dos. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Dec 1999 15:53:17 -0800 Reply-To: dr7zyq@nidlink.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "David B.

You get spikes of up to several hundred volts, both positive AND negative, quite often. When you turn the headlights on you get a dropout; If you then turn them off while the alternator's charging the battery, all that sudden excess of generated power pushes the car system's voltage way up temporarily. Not too hard to fix this problem (an inductor, resistor, capacitor filter with a Zener-type "TVS" protection device will handle this, fairly readily.) A resistor like 100 ohms is too large, you want something with say 1 to 3 volts drop, under the maximum current draw the LX will take (about 3/4 Amp or so?) - i.e. 2 to 4 ohms, 5 watts, should do. (My LX charges well off an RS 10V power supply that I happen to have spare from my PC110's.) An RF Choke in series with that resistor will reduce noise spikes somewhat, the resistor and capacitor (at the LX end, of those in series, connected to ground - with the TVS, like a 1.5KE18AMSCT, across the cap; Use a 25+ volt cap, maybe 50V; Maybe put 1/3 the resistance between the + side of the cap and your LX, and another TVS at the LX, if "paranoid". Another way to do this is to have the "charger" circuit turn off the HP's power connection when the battery voltage is low (engine not running or not yet started and spun fully up), though that puts you right back on the high initial charge current part of the curve. Or, "cheat", get a small "Gel" cell, top it off every so often when low, plug your LX into that nice clean source of 12V when you want to charge it. An LM317 "float" charger is easy to make, if you want to charge 'em at home off 117VAC. BG Micro has a 4.5AH gel cell for $6.95, not bad. Also could charge the gel cell through just a small (high wattage) resistor to "float" charge it off the car's power. Little heavy to carry around, not too bad though. "ideal" is probably to float charge the gel cell when car's running, and run the LX off the gel cell, just a nice resistor or even a dropping diode has proved pretty effective in the past on other systems, but those were designed for car use, I don't think the LX is. A gel cell with a resistor & the inductance of the wire going to it, tends to be pretty stable, voltage wise (the resistor takes all the peaks, changing the charging current the battery sees, pretty clean.)

Actually it does have a Real Time Clock. It just isn't accessed in the same way as in a normal PC where it is read from the CMOS. The palmtop has some special registers that contain the RTC value.

Comments: To: David Ball MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Just leave the flashcard in the palmtop at all times. It does not need or use any power when the palmtop is turned off. Flash is non-volatile, so it will always retain the data even without power. I recommend you store all of your data files on it. So that even if your batteries fail and the palmtop's C: drive disappears, your data is safe. That is what I do. The life cycle of the card is something in the millions of writes these days. In other words, the card will outlast you. I don't spend a single second worrying about my flashcard wearing out - and I am a very heavy user. I also recommend Sandisk as the #1 brand of flashcard. Personally, I will not buy any other brand. I am currently in the market for something larger than my 40MB and don't care about what other off-brand cards there are or the so-called savings I might see. Peace of mind is very valuable to me. There is no way to quantify any battery life reduction when using a flashcard. It all depends on the type of batteries, the battery life you got before the flash card, how often you write to it vs read from it or use it at all. The point is that it is not noticable considering the tremendous benefit of having that much extra storage.

I have not really followed the thread in detail but there is the issue of sysmgr interfering with serial port activities when in dos. There is a "polling" or some other action that occurs on a very regular interval where the sysmgr checks for data on the serial port. It can interfere with dos communications programs. There are ways of locking the port or terminating sysmgr before running such software in dos. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 25 Dec 1999 20:35:33 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , ddvteach@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: D Dv Subject: Re: Palmtop compatible USA ISP Comments: To: khansen@NJCC.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Fri, 24 Dec 1999 15:02:04 -0500 Ken Hansen writes: > IF all you want is email access, why not pay for the palmtop fee > ($60), then look into getting a low-cost calling card, as low as > 7 - 10 cents/minute, with minor fees for payphone use (30 to > 50 cents/call).

For Memo and the built in database there is nothing (until we can learn to read the vector site in japanese, I suppose). For DOS, the best program to do that which I know of is MsWorks for DOS. I used to use it for just that purpose. The database program is built in with the wordprocessor, spreadsheet, communications and calendar, and yes, what you want can be done *automatically*. The macro language is also great. The only down side is, of course, that it doesn't do anything as well as dedicated programs that do things separately. Currently I use InfoSelect and the built-in database program, plus dosclip from SUPER, for pasting into a word processor. This is not automatic, but it suits my current needs.

Autocaps instantly will raise a couple of questions of various origin. I would rather recommend to allow an exception list, which of course will take some memory. This will allow every user to take care language problems and every user is doing his own balance regarding the amount of memory he will spend for his exception list and the comfort on writing using Autocaps.

I think we are now moving into a new style of English which we will call Netspeak which is a genuine sub-set of English. Already it is bringing new words to the English language -- FAQ is one example. Punctuation may not exist as we know it in Netspeak. The use of paragraphing, commas, semi-colons is not as in formal English. There are, however, other rules. For example, the convention is that if I write WHY DOES THE HARD DISK NOT RESPOND I am shouting which is offensive. (This has a practical side. It is very difficult to read messages which are all in capital letters. This has been shown by extensive practical testing.) These seems to be a shorthand, fire-from-the-hip feel about Netspeak and my theory is that this is nearly always what starts flame wars. Messaging on the Internet is a more instant form of communication than letters or even postcards. Emotions come across and are not masked by English grammar. Even more interesting is that instant messaging creates a sub-form of Netspeak which we might call ICQspeak. That is even less grammatical, more abbreviated, quicker to type. None of which I think is a bad thing. My son, who works on an Internet site and would not know a gerund if it bit him on the bum. The acitive and passive tenses are to him a strange country. But he can write for the Internet. A slightly different skill to writing for books, magazines or newspapers. I write for all of the above and have to put my mind into a different mode for each of them. Where it will become seriously interesting is with voice recognition. I make extensive use of Dragon Dictate and the articles that result are as if written by another person. This may lead to a new form of written English called Englishspoke. As to the matter of "read" in the past tense. Fowler, the sage of the English language who, like you, had an elegant sense of irony, wrote that inflection was a general name "for changes made in the form of words to show their grammatical relations to their context or to modify their meaning in certain ways." With Netspeak we do not need to do that. It can be "read" in the past, present and future tenses without any ambiguity. So let us take the words of Francis Bacon, First Baron Verulam and Viscount St Albans, who wrote: "Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider." Meanwhile, on another and totally disassociated subject. I use a 200 LX and a Hewlett-Packard Omnibook 430. I have Windows 95 installed on the latter and use a memory card for swapping data. In poncing around with my Omnibook 430 I seem to have disenabled the mouse thingy that pops out which may look little and weak but is normally perfect for what I need. I have made a work-around by fitting another mouse to the serial port but I would like my built-in mouse back in operation. Does anyone on this forum have an Omnibook of that age -- that was the mono job and for my money the best laptop for journalists -- and the needed mouse drivers? And, if possible, advice on where to install it? Hewlett-Packard, but of course, think I am talking of some device of the devil. It is over five years old and therefore. in H-P's opinion, past history which should not be exhumed. One last point -- it is Boxing day and I am being prolix so forgive me. I have followed with interest the discussions on the infrared port. On the 200 LX I am fairly sure it is non-standard. The infrared port of the 200LX will not, under normal circumstances, communicate with the infrared port on the Omnibook 430. Years ago when this was important to me I found that it is just possible to use some sort of workaround. But a Ramdisk is a quicker and more elegant solution. A Merry Christmas -- Nadolig Llawen -- to you, Lars, and anyone who reds this.

Lars, Your "read" versus "red" comment is accurate in terms of pronunciation (though "reed" and "red" would be less ambiguous). However, "read" is one of those annoying words which has two pronunciations and one spelling. "Read" is pronounced "reed" for present tense, but as "red" for past tense. The actual word "red," in most of its definitions, refers to a color. It has nothing to do with reading. Little things like this are pretty much unavoidable with a language as perverse as English. Kudos for communicating in it; I'm ignorant of anything beyond my native tongue. My hat's off to you and everyone else who is multi-lingual.

The problem would be an Uppercase followed by a double letter, like: UPercase. Or even uPercase. Unless the typer accounts (aCounts) for this behavior, and slows down, a double letter will be shifted. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 26 Dec 1999 15:39:03 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

It is inflected and is PRONOUCED RED but both read (reed) and read (red) are spelled the same. So either you mis"heard" or your teacher was wrong.

The compile times are fast for plain C (faster than TC 1.0, if I remember correctly) but slow for compiling and linking C++ code. I tried using precompiled headers which is fine for experimenting but adds a lot of code. I haven't tried Turbo C 2.0--the one available for free. I suspect that it will work on the LX. I think it is straight C. The download file is too small for all the extra C++ code.

Since I've never used Buddy, I don't have any experience with SmartCaps to compare against, but I agree that the shifted numeric keys also often pose a problem in digital (finger-wise) gymnastics. Do you have to disable SmartCaps everytime you enter an alphanumeric sequence (such as a auto license number or vehicle ID number ... these are a mixture of letters and numbers)? Or are you talking about double-clicking the "6" key? AutoCaps at the moment, doesn't appear to support the numeric keys, but I'm sure Stefan is open to suggestions Does SmartCaps support the shifted blue keys as well?

SmartCaps allows you to have it use the shifted value via a pre/post method and actually works quite well.

Usually a well describable task can be implemented within a reasonable amount of time. But sometimes it's just the opposite: Something which cannot be described in words turns out to be very easy to program, like the FIRE animation, and something, where it is obvious for everybody, what the program should achive, turns out to be extremly complicated, like with AUTOCAPS. I myself went into the AUTOCAPS trap by thinking it is a relatively simple TSR. But I'm almost at the limit of what my brain can achieve and for the first time in years I had to use a paper and a pencil to draw a Nassi-Schneidermann flow-chart to keep trak of all the possible exceptions. Most new wishes overturn my current design and I have to restart almost from scratch, which I'm getting tired of. My initial approach was, to design a TSR which could be activated all the time, not only while writing text. That is, typing at the system level should work almost as before and typing text should ease the capitalization of letters. This cannot be done at a 100% errorfree level without an incredible overhead of code. Please also note, that what you suggest might look simple at the logical level and could be relatively simple implemented in the code of one program like a word processor for example. But a TSR does not know which program it serves and it has to be as modest as possible to not interfere with other programs. For example, the blue keys cannot be double clicked, because SC already took them before AUTOCAPS comes into place. The same is true for the + and * keys from the NumPad under SysMgr. This has to do with the way I intercept the keyboard. If BUDDY uses another method, it might take over these keys as well. If you need what BUDDY offers, stay with it. Once AUTOCAPS finished a character, which is identical to it's appearance on the screen, it cannot get it back for further manipulation. Hence it can only work with the past, not the future. Please also note, that there is only a rudimentary history in the system of what has been typed so far, called keyboard buffer. But this buffer holds every key, you pressed, not only what is visible on the screen. Checking it for words, you typed in the past, must fail, if you used for example the cursorkeys in the meantime, which is not unlikely. And please don't forget, AUTOCAPS is freeware, and my principles have not changed: -I implement what I want and need. -I fix bugs -I implement other whishes, if it can be done easily. The next version of AUTOCAPS will support a user defined patch list of 16 characters. You decide, which character should appear after you double clicked the original key. If you map the NumPad key 6 to ', then ' appears after you double clicked the 6. These keys will work at any position in the word, not only at the beginning. To type for example "I'll" you then have to double click i, double click 6 and double click l.

I've cut a lot of what you wrote which was also important. Buddy is very complex which explains why the code size is large. Jeff first determined which application he was in and sometimes which field so that typing a phone number would not change a 6 to ' etc, etc. He also "watched" the screen for hints using the graphic image of a font character which is why it is an English dependent program. And like you (g), he first added features that HE wanted and needed and then, if it seemed logical might add other features. But as the feature list rose, so it the complexity and program size. And finally, but certainly not least, THANKS for all of your many very useful programs and in most cases the THANKS is in reverse proportion to code size. (g) What you cram into tiny code is amazing.

I would think few software suites let you perform this task easier than the LX's native PIM applications. If the form is not too complex, and does not require enhancements, skip Memo and work right from the database's clip editor. First select or mark the records you want to fill out the form for. Open a new Smart Clip definition. Type the form text, or switch to Memo and paste the form text from an existing file into the new clip definition. Select the fields you want to use in the right places, and close and name your Smart Clip. Then use the database's print function and select Custom Style, your clip, 1 record per page, and print to file, name the file, and... Done! Things become slightly more complicated when you require the software to find and select 56 records in a 3486 records database, the 56 having nothing in common but your decision to fill out the same form for them today. My suggestion is to type a unique search string for each record, one per line in a separate file (a 'names list'), and use a key macro from the database to fetch the next search string from the names list in Memo, return, paste the search string in the Find function, and change each found record to reflect it belongs to your new selection, e.g. by attributing it to a special category. This could all be done with one key macro. You can now define a new subset for this group, and use the earlier clip-print procedure. The additional benefit: your database now 'knows' whom the form was already filled out for. There may be cases where you want to use enhancements you can not easily have in a smart clip. In that case you should use a more powerful editor. Still, as long as you can switch between that and the database, I do not easily see cases where a key macro would not be able to solve the problem. Costs you an hour perhaps, if the case is complex, but you will save your macro and have it forever, as long as the LX will last.

I couldn't see how to get info from Memo to the SmartClip until I saw the suggestion to paste it in. Is there any other way? Also, after playing around with several experimental SmartClips (in my PhoneBook), I find that my 200LX will not let me delete any of them!

If I run MaxDos and go to the "a:" prompt and do a "dir" the computer locks up to the point where I have to do a ctrl-shift-on. Anyone else experience this?

Sure; Grab http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM117.pdf (The LM317 is in the LM117 family), and as well grab http://www.national.com/ms/LB/LB-35.pdf, either the schematic at the top of page 17 in LM117.pdf, or the schematic in Figure 3 in LB-35 is probably like what you want for the sailboat. It's a pretty simple circuit, a few solder joints and you're done An LM317 can do 1.5A output current (with the TO-3 or TO-220 packaging, don't try that with the surface mount or TO-92 or TO-39 packages ), I don't know what you want on the sailboat, is 1.5A enough to handle your batteries? Can parallel these, too. If you want more info, let's talk off list. (I just plain don't know what the AH capacity of a type 27 deep cycle battery is anymore, been using 12V 2AH and 4.5AH batteries for wearable computers and palmtops, lately.) If you need more current, something like the schematic on the bottom of page 17 of LM117.pdf can do the job. I can help design you something better for your situation. The LM317 is pretty easy to control via digital controls, which is nice. > >I re-ship for small US & overseas businesses, world-wide. > >(For private individuals at cost; ask.) > > I will be crusing with my family soon and am interested in your > service. Please email me with more info. On my shipping, more in e-mail off-list, basically if someone needs things received or bought from in the US and shipped overseas, I do it at cost for regular folks, as I'm already doing it for money for a few companies. Lets people buy from eBayers who won't ship overseas, etc. (I usually save the companies money as they slow ship to here & then I can express things from here to US destinations, everyone wins there, I split the savings with them.)

About a year or two ago on alt.folklore.computers there was a discussion of programming games on the 1k Sinclairs. One of the programs often mentioned was a chess game that provided a computer opponent. A lot of people were skeptical. But then the author of that game popped in and what followed was a really interesting discussion of how he wrote (and how to write) such a game in what is actually about 820 bytes, since the OS used the rest. Personally, I think he was probably too inexperienced to know that it couldn't be done.

Mike: Thanks. I am in fact calling them in the same sequence as you do. Perhaps my problem is with the arguments themselves. I'm using a string for the edit field. Maybe you can tell me where to look for the "item specific documentation" that the manual refers to under the GetDlgItem and SetDlgItem entries? I think that maybe that's my problem. For example, to get the string, I call it like this: char *wstr; GetDlgItem( DlgArrayÝn¨, INWPM, EDGI_PTR, &wstr ); But to *set* the default dialog item, would the call be slightly different? double value; char woldstrÝ128¨; sprintf(woldstr, "%lf", value); SetDlgItem( DlgArrayÝn¨, INWPM, EDGI_PTR, woldstr ); I have tried this and it doesn't seem to work. Do I need to pass a pointer to the pointer for the SetDlgItem, just like I do for the GetDlgItem? I think I tried this, as well, to no avail. Do I need to use a different integer for the EDGI_PTR argument? Any help would be appreciated. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Wise advice. > -I implement other whishes, if it can be done easily. And personally, this is all that I ask. I'm in complete agreement with Stefan's design philosophy, which I think jibes with minimalist in most of us, to get the most "bang for the buck" (or mark, or franc) in terms of the resources needed, be it program size or Stefan's time. I think we're all aware that the final 10 percent of any "user-friendly or idiot-proof" code often takes 90 percent of the effort, and results in code bloat. If I make any suggestions for enhancements, let me be clear that it's only to "bounce ideas" around. As a programmer, I find this occasionally helps to get the maximum benefit by uncovering ideas that may be useful and "done easily" but maybe outside the original design concept. Many such suggestions should be, and are, tossed on the floor .... but better to have made (and rejected) them than to lose the one or two gems. I applaud Stefan, and all other programmers on this list (paid or unpaid, active or lurking), for doing the "sword of Solomon" on enhancment requests, and recognize that it's often a difficult line to walk. Stefan has done another fantastic job with AUTOCAPS, to which I (and my former shift-key thumbs) are grateful.

My wife's 200LX recently made a strange consistent screeching, with an alarm activated. Esc didn't work to stop it. Ctr Alt Del didn't reboot. I did a system restart, saying "no" to initialize disk. The screeching started immediately. All the same as above. After another restart, I did an alt boot, bypassing "200" and stopping at a dos prompt. Backed the date up one day, deleted the offending alarm, rebootted, all ok. Checked alarm options, changed to a different one, tried again, same problem. I guess the next thing to try would be to re-initialize the disk (assuming some correupted file) and re-load data. Is there an easier way?

I copied (and lost) a lot of games off magazines, had the ZX Flight Simulator that could only really do final approach and Marine Rescue (sort of a marine donkey kong). Then I got a Timex Sinclair 1000, copied more games, bought the Flight Simulator cartridge, had much fun with it and finally got enough money to buy a bigger machine. The question was: Atari 520ST or Sinclair QL? Well, the QL was half the price, so I bought that one. It had 4 colors in high-res, came with a sort of "office package": charting, spreadsheet, wordprocessing and drawing, had the "microdrives" -- an infinite tape loop that could store 100k, coded a 3d drafting program for a science project, and finally got a PC.

Sounds like your c:\_dat\alarm.q file may be corrupt. This is a hidden read-only file, so unless you have X-Finder or StereoShell, you'll need to go to c:\_dat and do: attrib -h -r alarm.q then delete the file. When you reboot, a new file should be created. I've never had this problem, but I seem to recall some discussion on the list, and that this is the solution.

I had the same problem. I phoned to HP and very kindly they explained me what to do but everything of my disk c: was lost including my agenda! Fortunately, I could recover all because I save very often all the data of my HP200LX into my PC. How do I? It's very simple. I never use any of the softwares nore the wires delivered with the HP200LX. I have a 16 Mega PCMCIA card in my HP200LX called A: Using Norton, I save the data of the disk C: into a directory of the disk A: called \DISKC Then I pull the card out of the HP200LX and I push it into a PCMCIA slot of my PC. Then I save the data of the card into a directory of my PC. Note: I find that "PC-Pocket" marvellous. No comparison with the several "PSION". I use a lot of stufs I have put in it, namely the famous "MICA" (Almanach of the US Nanal Observatory), "NORTON", "CALENDER DAY", "SOLAR SYSTEM", "LOGIS-CIEL", etc., etc... One can find demos of "SOLAR SYSTEM" and of "LOGIS-CIEL" in my home page. Unfortunately in french but there are english versions.

Maybe I asked somewhere if there is a way to do a macro that would automate this process and the response was that Esc-Q works on a selected area too. I don't think there is any mention of that in the docs for PE. There are other commands that will work on a selected area as well. I suspect that all the EMACS users may have had an easier time with PE's features because it is the package that inspired PE, so possibly much of its style was carried over into the code of PE. I still discover an occasional feature in the PE docs when rereading the docs. Thankfully, it is rather short. Clearly, some would disagree with the thankful characterization, wanting _more extensive_ docs, not less :) Avi The above is my own private opinion.

Could we put it on Super? I think Mitch'd be very wary about tacking this on SUPER without someone doing the legal legwork. Palm is defunct only in the sense that it no longer exists as a single entity, but is now owned (I think) by 3Com, which likely owns the rights to their software, even if they no longer offer either the product nor support.

Not necessarily. Just because a company is no longer doing business, doesn't mean that the software isn't still owned by someone. I believe the copyrights and patents are all owned by someone, not usually a company (although a patent can be assigned to a company). So if the company goes belly up, someone still owns the copyrights and patents in most cases. That's not to say that the legal owner couldn't decide to donate the software to the public domain, which I think has indeed happened in a few cases. But it doesn't automatically follow when a company closes its doors (web pages). -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I went to the local library, found a book on BASIC and learned how to write a simple BASIC program. I had so much fun writing simple programs on it that I started keeping my eyes open for an affordable computer. My first computer was a Timex/Sinclair 1000 that I purchased for $100. I wrote a simple budget and cash flow management program in BASIC on that computer, played with the Flight Simulator, etc... and had a great time. :-) That simple budget/cash flow management program was rewritten and improved for many subsequent computers over the years (the next one was a Timex/Sinclair 2080 Color computer) until my simple program ended up in the form it is in today. I'm now running a 16K version (including it's data, as well) that also databases 100 transactions back, reconciles my checkbook and includes full search functions. It is currently being run on a checkbook sized Radio Shack PC-6 computer. I've always been a minimalist too, but my only experience in programming has been in various primitive and proprietary forms of BASIC. It's just a great feeling to know that if I want a simple program badly enough, I have the option of writing it myself. I've had no experience with BASIC compilers, but some day when I have ample time, I'll like to re-write my program in ASIC and compile it so I can run it on my HP200LX. It looks like I'd have to make a lot of changes to it, though, since it seems that ASIC cannot handle multi-dimensional arrays. :-( I raise my glass to all of the members of this elist and look forward to hearing about other's humble beginnings with computers. :-) Cheers!

I *never* thought that I would have a computer with a hard drive and remember rushing home from school to write thousands of lines of BASIC and then spend hours of debugging it and trying to make the darn thing work right.

Well, here's the provision from The Constitution: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;" So the question is, is withholding such tools a violation of the spirit if not the letter of "to promote the progress of science and useful arts?"

No, but do the chances of Philippe meeting a LX-toting phone number-beaming young lady on the train one day warrant such a program? :-) It's a good idea though, pity the LX isn't more widespread... Palmpilots and Magic Desks can do this can't they? Does the LXTCP package allow networking two LXs via IR? One can at least use ftp then. How about an IR two-player game?

No one seemed to mind: no one could tell what I was doing. My physics profs didn't approve. They didn't know enough about computers and couldn't tell if the numerical solutions were right. Dumped physics in favor of a degree in computing. First microcomputer(s) were Apples, Commodore's,TRSs, CP/M's, HP85/6's, Atari's and TI 99/4As (working for an agency that developed courseware for local schools.) Great fun while it lasted. My first "personal computer" was an Osborne 1. My only acquaintance with Sinclair/Timex was in the electronic labs at school. We'd take them apart and use the CPU and limited memory in bread-board devices. One of the instructors had a KIM 1 hooked to his short wave rig. Trained it to send and receive Morse code. Today's computers are "prettier" to look at but less fun to play with. However, my Win98 machine does sign off with the Looney Tune theme and splash screens: not sure what that has to do with Windows. I'll leave that for the psychologists to ponder. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 06:29:15 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , revwkschultz@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: William Schultz Subject: FLUFF: 1st Computers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My first was a VIC-20, which I promptly burned out trying to connect a tape recorder. The man at the store exchanged it and my wife bought the tape recorder drive to keep me from trying again. We had a grand time playing the few ROM cartridge games that were available. When the C-64 hit my price point, I bought one. This was what I consider my first "real" computer. The C-64 took me all the way through Seminary. I wrote bunches of papers, sermons and even my Masters Thesis on it all in the tiny word processing program that came with the computer. I also kept my sanity by getting all of the magazines and books on basic programs and typing them in. I wrote a tic-tac-toe game just to see if I could. When a friend figured out how a way to beat it, I went in and wrote the code to stop him. He was so surprised that he went out and learned BASIC. I remember my first printer, it was an Epson. I don't think it even had a model number. It was so loud that I wouldn't print anything out except during daylight hours because I didn't want to wake up the neighborhood. We bought a "daisy wheel" typewriter that had a parallel port. The combination of the C-64 and typewriter could make masters for the mimeograph machine and so we went for the first three years of my ministry. I up graded to a C-128. My first experience with an IBM was an 8086 at my second church. It had a 5 MEG hard drive and Word Star. The secretary loved it, but I stuck to my 128 because I thought it had a much better word processor. The thieves who broke in stole my 128 and left the 8086 sitting on the desk. I had a big laugh over that one. The insurance company replaced the 128 with an Amiga 500 upgraded to 1MEG. I eventually put a hard drive on etc. It retired years ago in favor of a series of IBM clones, living in the Silicon Valley, people upgrade often and I get their hand-me-downs. I bought my 200LX something like six years ago. For about the first four years (the windows 3.1 and 95 years) because I considered the LX simpler and faster, I used it for everything. I would amaze people by writing sermons and putting together spread sheets, printing them out on my Deskjet 500 using the serial cable. With the advent of W98 and the Pentium chip in a lap top, the LX stays with me essentially for the PDA functions. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 06:40:24 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , revwkschultz@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: William Schultz Subject: Re: Interesting mention of the palmtop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Thu, 30 Dec 1999 00:13:54 -0800 Patrick West writes: > http://www.lotus.com/home.nsf/framesets/home > > Is this what you found or is there another mention?

The "scientific" functions (sin, cos, etc.) of version 4 and up are slower and less reliable. Their editor is less comfortable. *All* the programs, compiled with QB3, even with graphics (provided they are in CGA) run on HP200LX.

Being an old (or middle aged) fogey, my first experience with computers was using an IBM 1620 (go ahead - figure how long ago THAT was...) It was a room-full of desk-size (and larger) consoles, with 10K - or amybe it was 20K of 4-bit magnetic core memory. Loaded programs from punch-cards or punched paper tape. The big excitement was the addition of another 10K of memory (yep - another desk-size console) and a disk drive (you guessed it!!) > My first was a single board computer based on the > Fairchild F8 chip.

Learned Z80 assembly on the little beast, and eventually used the Sinclair Basic interpreter as the basis for a home-brew machine with a real monitor, 32K of RAM, 2 3.5" disk drives, and a 256K RAM disk. The whole thing (5" monitor, disk drives, and a switching power supply) fit in an aluminum card cage, and used a surplus serial keyboard. It was "portable" - smaller and lighter than the Osbornes.

The Commodore 64 was a nice machine to hook up your own electronic projects to. Lots of ports you could (ab)use - I've had LED displays, a simple thermometor (via an NTC-resisitor hooked up to the paddle controller in the joystick port) and a few other things hooked up to mine. The German magazine '64er' at one time also had schematics for a scanner that could be hooked up the a printer and the joystick port, but I think this was later, 1990 or so. It had a somewhat higher resolution, at least judging by the pictures in the magazine. I never got around to actually building it and I probably wouldn't have had the patience to type in the obligatory two pages of hex codes (which were not hex codes at all, but something more efficient utilizing the whole alphabet) either :-) The first computer I used was probably an NCR Decision Mate V, running CP/M, but I usually only used it for playing Ladder (which was an excellent Donkey Kong-type game!) and dabbling with MS Basic :-) The first computer that was my own was a ZX81 (Timex) clone called Lambda 3000 (I think). It was a ZX81 in every respect (down to the point where I think they just copied the ZX81's ROMs and modified them as needed) except it added "sound" via a tiny beeper and had rubber keys like the bigger Sinclair Spectrum...

My first programming experience was in high school, when I was given an HP-25 calculator for Christmas. The next year my folks bought a TRS-80 Model II. We had a friend who was a math professor, and he was writing a textbook. He paid me an hourly wage to program up some incredibly complex formulas into the computer, and compute their answers and tabulate them. Some times this would run overnight! In college we freshmen were forced to program the main campus computer (some kind of huge CDC mainframe) on punched cards in FORTRAN. Also, at the ham radio club I rescued an old Commodore PET computer from the trash and utilized it as a satellite antenna tracking controller for talking to amateur satellites and the (then new) space shuttle. We later upgraded to the C64, and this effort became my senior project. Since graduating, I purchased a Radio Shack PC-2 pocket computer, which ran BASIC and had (amazingly) a 4-color pen printer/plotter. I wrote programs that plotted antenna radiation patterns on the plotter. I still have this little wonder and dig it out ocassionaly. I think that Sharp sold a nearly identical version of this computer - I even have the detailed technical manuals for the computer and processor. I flirted with the HP-48 series, until I decided that a calculator should fit in my shirt pocket - if I wanted a computer, I would use a computer. Then I got my HP95LX, which I upgraded to a 200LX when they came out. My latest acquisition to my collection is an old "pocket" computer called the Curta. This mechanical wonder does 4-function arithmetic, plus with some ingenious algorithms you can extract roots and such. Then there's the slide rule colection, but that's even too far off topic for this thread. I also have the obligatory desktop and laptop computers running MS operating systems, but they aren't nearly as fun.

Hello LXers, The first computer I used was a Sinclair ZX81. This high- tech device was smuggled into Hungary by the staff of Orion, the TV manufacturing company, where my mother used to work. In the early 80's Hungary, as a WARPAC country was fully COCOM listed and almost no electronics could be exported to us legally (IBM was somewhat of exception) This ZX81 had external 16KB memory expansion, but the contacts were so bad, that it freeze every now and then. As you could only save to/load from audio tape, noone dared to use the expansion and the machine was limited to 1KB. It also had a small thermal printer, nice one. Problem was, if you used both add-ons, printer must have been attached IN BETWEEN the computer and the 16K add-on, so you could not solder in the ram expansion box solving contact error crashes. Zero-travel foil keys went wrong gradually and this rende- red the machine useless because of the unique basic langu- age shortcut system it used. I couldn't find a replacement keyboard so far. I still have the machine in my collection. I tend to think that IBM PC rulez, probably the best thing 20th century brought. Also, it is likely that we, HPLX-L members, are all sick to speak about "my first computer" at the dawn of 2000.

Normal speed is about 7mhz and upgrade takes it to about 15mhz. The most dramatic effect is on screen refreshes, but just about everything runs faster. The downside is a slight degradation in battery life (about 15 percent), tho it's debatable that this could be compensated by things finishing faster than before. >I use on a HP200LX with a PCMCIA card 16 Meg many >DOS-Programs (compiled with QBasic) with a lot of >"scientific" functions and it's indead very slow...

I believe the default settings may be "no echo", and you may have to enter (blind) the command AT E1 Then press Enter. This enables echo so you can see what you're typing from this point on. I don't have a PCMCIA modem on me at the moment, but I'm sure another member will correct me if I'm wrong. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 08:40:07 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bob Meyer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Meyer Subject: Re: FLUFF: 1st Computers Comments: To: John J Vanderstel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I tend to hold off until I can get the features I want for the right price. First "computer" was the HP25. In the 49 steps, I programmed all my Fortran exercises done 10 years previously in college. They gave the right results. Amazing! Then when I saw the Macintosh was going to have Fortran and I could do drafting without having to spend $8K for an IBM with Autocad, I bought a 512K Mac. Helped another guy upgrade his 128K Mac to 512K by unsoldering the 64K chips on the 4 layer board and replacing them with 256K chips, at a cost of $25 each or total cost of $800 per meg. At 512K, I could run Fortran in a ramdisk faster than the guys who eventually got hard drives. I still have that machine with another 512K boarded added on. My first IBM compatible was a Toshiba 1200F laptop (still here in the basement) purchased to do a commercial real estate program for the TRS100. Never panned out. The Toshiba was sort of like a big LX, had 2MB configured like the LX and retains memory when turned off. The Toshiba was basically the end of my Mac days as it was much easier to program and being a minimalist (still am) could care less about the graphics. ASCII is enough! But then I won't talk about my desktop and OB800CT.

According to radio and TV reports here, the highest gust was recorded by the weather station on the "Feldberg", the highest mountain in the Black Forest at 215 km/h (133.6 mph). That's bad enough and the damage is extensive; more trees are damaged than from the big storm we had in 1990. At our place, the wind velocity was around 155 km/h which uprooted quite a few trees and sent lots of shindles down, especially from old buildings. Fortunately, we've had no damage apart from a few flower pots that fell down and broke and a lot of dirt in the garden.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Santa dropped off another HP 200LX DS/8MB unit (thanks Thaddeus) and I have a question on usage. Now that I have two (2) LX's are there any list members using two (2) LX's on a daily basis? Why? What are the applications primarily driving the need for two (2) units? I use Communication apps e.g., Post/LX, Datacom+PINE, WyndMail (Packet Radio), etc. but do not use a task swapper. This app. is the only reason I can see for carrying two (2) LX's. That is one for PIMs, etc. the other for Comms. I am constantly changing the following hardware: HW PC Card II -SanDisk 40MB (PIMs) -MHz Model XJ1144 (RJ11C MODEM) -MHz Model NJ18000R (MOBITEX MODEM) On a side note I am a frustrated Programmer and I suspect I could finally have the room to load my copies of MS C, Assembler, CodeView, Borland C, C+, Pascal, etc. The converse usage question is what is the best storage method for a backup LX? Remove both batteries as well as the backup and put on a shelf? Any inputs will be appreciated. BTW this list is one of the best!

This is the behavior I get if the modem is not in the PCMCIA slot--probably the same if the driver is not loaded. As near as I can tell, the local commands echo by default, contrary to Longden's guess. I think perhaps the local echo is off by default *when online*. Sounds like the card driver is not really loading. You should get a message when it loads describing the driver.

I take it out every month or so to charge it, but there's no reason not to do as you suggest and just let it sit dead. If both are identical, it may help to occasionally alternate the units to even the wear and tear... this may also help to uncover problems in the backup unit before you have an urgent need for it. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 12:35:40 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , nxw988e@TNINET.SE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars Hedstroem Subject: Re: Www/lx and internet+more 2/2 Comments: To: Martin Bergvill MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Martin wrote: > > 9.

I was into Architecture then, so I ignored them. After graduation I spent a year-and-a-half in the San Jose, California area and had a friend there whose dad worked for IBM and he had recently brought home a new thing called a "PC". I played Adventure on it and was immediatly hooked! Although I STILL haven't figured out that stinkin' game! I went back home to Texas and worked at whatever I could find for a while and then moved to Utah. My roommate had a Mac Plus that I played with and soon learned it and got bored with it. Another roommate had an Apple ¨Ýe (the "portable" one?) that I played with for awhile and found it more interesting because I could program it and tell it what to do. (Even though I don't really enjoy programming.) Well, shortly after that I got married and our first major purchase was a 286 with 640K of RAM, a 60 MB hard drive (that we though we'd never fill up!), an EGA display and both 5.25' and 3.5" floppy drives. Perfect for two college students. I sure glad I learned WordPerfect 5.0 then! We sold that computer and got a Toshiba T1000 laptop with 3.5" floppy drive, 2 MB RAM and CGA display. BIG MISTAKE! The hard disk drive is a wonderful invention! Anyway, I kept that for a while after we got our 386 - 25MHz, with 640K, VGA and an 80 MB hard drive and 14.4 modem. I have gradually upgraded that machine until the present Pentuim 166 MMX with SVGA (4 MB Video RAM), 10 GB hard drive (we'll NEVER fill that up, will we!), 24x CDROM, 33.6 modem, etc. We are saving our pennies for a new machine soon. Kids cost more that computers do... I sold the Toshiba a couple of years ago in a garage sale for $20! Have two desktop machines (one for the parents, one for the kids), a 486 laptop (For Sale?), and the 200lx! In 1995 I discovered the 200lx and HAD to have one, it was SO COOL! An actual computer a could carry around, without getting bursitis! I was sending phone lists and memos to my pager as text messages so I could use it as a PDA, too. (Sort of like the Franklin Rex) Once I got my 200lx the pager was replaced with a cell phone! Someone called my 200lx "your Rolodex" once and I got defensive and showed him the all things it could really do; he was genuinely impressed! I have rarely been bored with the 200lx since, when I do start to get bored with it, somebody comes up with something new! My employer has "issued" me a 3Com Palm III, but I was bored with it in about a day! Now it's just another tool. But the 200lx is my baby! Maybe someday I'll do some programming - maybe.

My hplx is suddenly giving me the "MAIN BATTERY VERY LOW" message and show the "gas gauge" as empty on a continual basis even though the batteries are definitely good.

I think some postings indicated misleading battery level problems that were fixed only by draining the system (remove AA's and backup lithium, press the On key for 30-60 sec to drain) and then powering back up again. Of course, backup your data before this, since all of C drive gets hosed. There's apparently some data maintained in parts of memory that persists even thru reboots, and this is the only way to clear it out, if it goes bad. Worth a try if all else fails. Good luck. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:58:11 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Other option - take out all batteries and press the ON key, dissipating any capacitor.

Before I do I have posed a few questions off list to some of you asking for clarification on specs and advise in general. Thank you one and all for your support. One thing I am wondering about is the Iomega Click PCMCIA II card disk with interchangeable 40mb disks. This would seem to be the ideal companion for mass storage on the 200LX. I went and looked at it today and noted that the requirements on the box stated Windows 95/98 OS and that the drivers for the unit were on a CD-ROM in the package. Has anyone inquired of Iomega if they have or will have a DOS 5.0 driver setup so that the Click can be used on older laptops and palmtops? Has anyone tried to get one of these units and running on the 200LX? Any reports? Thanks and Happy New Year one and all.
