We appear to be getting even closer to the solution, though to save further effort I hope you won't mind some clarification of a couple of aspects, starting with your scoop:- > For those who do not know of this very useful FILER.INI trick, here > is the scoop from Section 15 of the HP200LX FAQ at > : > Q. How can I get the filer to run a program based on a file's > type? > Create the file c:\_dat\filer.ini, containing file extensions and > commands to run, as shown in > > this example: > ÝLauncher¨ ICN=D:\BIN\ICN200.EXE % ZIP=A:\BIN\PKUNZIP.EXE % This is good news. Presumably almost any programme could be run (on the 200LX only) from the FILER provided there is a specific command for that programme. You have illustrated two possibilities but there do not seem to be any obvious commands for, say, Lotus 1-2-3 or Memo. I tried without success to access your reference to HP200LX FAQ and a friend also tried and failed, so I can't solve this part of it, nor could I get to view an icon file from the filer. However, this may not be a problem with our immediate concern in XINE in the way that I am trying to use it in conjunction with Pierre Vignacq's PRESS.BAT programme. As you also say, XINE requires two arguments, an input and an output file. However, Pierre's programme PRESS.BAT (which I told you I had slightly modified) incorporates XINE in such a way as to avoid the double argument problem. At the DOS prompt you simply key in PRESS + filename (no extension) and hit ENTER; this starts XINE, loading the file with the appropriate extension as the first argument and changing the extension as required in the second argument, as outlined below. The first four main lines of PRESS.BAT are:- if exist %1.doc goto doc if exist %1.dox goto dox if exist %1.txt goto txt if exist %1.txx goto txx This setup part of XINE can be continued for as many file types as you require to be compressed/decompressed, ie document.doc compressed into document.dox (1st line) or back the other way (2nd line). Then come the goto labels, doc: and dox: etc. for activating XINE eg:- :doc xine %1.doc %1.dox del %1.doc As you can see, the filename in question is substituted for %1 and the extension of whatever file with that name exists is added. Finally the original file is deleted. The beauty of this arrangement is that it can be run back in the opposite direction since XINE automatically recognises compressed or uncompressed files. My problem is not so much starting PRESS.BAT or XINE in the FILER (though it could be useful to have that facility as you suggest), but having to manually enter the filename after typing PRESS at the DOS prompt, rather than being able to paste it in. I would like to be able to highlight the file to be compressed/decompressed in the FILER and then start a macro that would store the file name in the clipboard, start PRESS.BAT in DOS and then paste in the filename after "PRESS" is displayed to start XINE. The rest would automatically follow. I have worked out a macro for getting the filename (without or without extension) into the clipboard from the FILER. This can be used by the macro to then create a line in a text file:- PRESS (without extension) This can be saved by the same macro as a batch file, say XX.BAT, which can be started in the FILER and which starts PRESS.BAT, which in turn starts XINE. I have arranged PRESS.BAT not only to delete the original file once compressed/decompressed but also to delete XX.BAT, ready for re-creation when the macro is used again. Although virtually all of this can be made to work via a macro or maybe two, it becomes messy and cumbersome, particularly if you have files in various directories that you wish to compress/decompress. Being able to paste in a filename where required in DOS would save a lot of trouble. I have not had time to digest and try your suggestions on GETARG, Chris and Whay, but I am determined to work out an efficient solution to the problem. Thanks to all of you, meantime.

That article is good advice to academics and professional programmers. I am the greatest fan of C around but will advice 90% of all non-professionals to go for Turbo-Pascal rather than C. There are very few limitations in the language - just bought the most advanced Astro simulation program I have seen (Dance of the Planets) which is written in TP. I even saw the source to a chess program written in TP. If you can program in assembler, you will of course feel at home in C (and probably hate Pascal). Another exception: if you want to use a specific C-programming library such as the PAL library.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I know that you can run dbase programs from the command line by providing them as an argument to dbase itself. "dbase myprog.prg" should run the program. Using MaxDos, you should be able to create an icon in the application manager that will run your dbase programs. Another useful but somewhat expense tools is software carousel. There are techniques wherevy you can create an icon in app mgr to open a separate SC work area and run specific programs. The benefit of this approach is that blue keys and alarms still work and you can swap tasks. If you wan't to get really advanced you can learn C, install and learn the PAL lib and some dbase libs (whew!). BTW, I believe dbase has a parameter you can specify to disable the startup dbase splash screen. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Mikhail Epelbaum Ýmailto:mikhailslists@ATTCANADA.NET¨ Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 1998 6:01 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: ÝHPLX-L¨ how to start programming for 200LX?

I've been using cc:Mail with a palmtop.com account for about a week now. I have three questions for which I am seeking help. 1. My 200LX (2X) seems slow within the cc:Mail app. Is this typical or do I have something misconfigured? 2. Occasionally when checking over the mail in my folders I will find that cc:Mail has created additional Outboxes for outbound messages. Is this a bug, a feature, or do I have something else misconfigured? So far I have been moving those messages into the standard Outbox before connecting--I don't think cc:Mail sends them from the added Outboxes, but am not sure of this. 3. My 200LX will stall during download of some messages and eventually hang up with many messages left on the server. I suspect carrier drops and have gone to the default hayes.mdm configuration (using a Megahertz XJ2144 that has otherwise always peformed flawlessly) but still see the problem. I've sent e-mail to Martin Paul, but would welcome comments from anyone else. Thanks for any and all ideas.

My setup worked perfectly with the XJ1144 modem, but had major connect problems with the XJ3144 and I had to modify the default hayes.mdm and created a new XJ3144.mdm that seems to work with both modems. Maybe the XJ2144 needs a special setup. I got the setup string modification from the modem manual (XJ3144) which had a recommended setup for ccMail.

It is really a good program. My only problem is date fields, gdbdump insists on exporting the date as 19980901 (using today as an example 09/01/98). Most database packages require some kind of seperator between year, month, day. I have yet to find a work around. I was wondering if anybody else has dealt with this. The only solution I have found so far is to manually edit the date field adding the seperator so that the database package will recognize it as a date field when I restructure the field. There is probably a string function or some way to parse the record and add the seperator (it could be anything ",","/") but I don't know how to go about it. It would have been nice if the date seperator could be left in as it was being exported to the ascii file. The gdbdump manual states that most databases will recognize this date format, but I have yet to find one that will recognize 19980901 as a date. Any help or suggestions you all might have would be appreciated.

I also like getting DCE reported now rather than DTE. I'm using the Megahertz User Reference Guide, copyrighted 1995. In fact, the section on "Setting Up Your Communications Software" has separate sections for both "ccMail Mobile" and "ccMail Remote", and my settings came from the "remote" section whereas I believe we're running "mobile" on the LX (I think I was grasping at straws at the time). And yes, my settings, and my manual for "ccMail Remote" shows &MWS95. The ccMail Mobile section seems to imply that support for modem inits should be built-in, but that a driver could be ordered from Megahertz (don't know if that's an option anymore). But that was contrary to the fact that my XJ3144 wasn't connecting tho my XJ1144 was. FYI, my setup under ccMail/menu/connect/settings: baud : 19200 interface: com2 flow control: hardware dial mode: tone dial timeout: 60 sec idle timeout: 5 min manual dial: no max msg size: 0 bytes The ccMail Mobile section in the manual suggests that flow control should be set to CTS, but ccMail only offers "hardware" or "none". I chose "hardware", since Datacomm offers flow controls RTS-CTS/XON-XOFF/None, so I'm assuming CTS and hardware are similar (I'm not a hardware weenie). - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1998 15:46:49 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mikhail Epelbaum Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mikhail Epelbaum Subject: Re: Another gdbdump question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Terry - dBase has ctod() command - "character to date", which does exactly this. ctod(19980901) =3D 09/01/98 The opposite of this, dtos(), "date to string", is useful for sorting by date.

I have setup a couple of applications and a DOS Shell using MaxDos. According to BattLog, whenever I use any of these, the serial port is turned on, which gives me a terrible dip in the battery voltage. Now, I have cleared the 'Enable Com1 in DOS' checkbox in Setup. I have even tried using Buddy to 'lock' the serial port. If I run lxstat in one of these DOS sessions, it tells me the com port power is off. But Battlog tells me different. I sometimes spend hours in one of these DOS shells, (I use Epsilon Programmers Editor), and Battlog records the whole session as if the com port power was on. Especially worrying is that the backup battery voltage dips by 0.1 volts. So my questions are: 1) Is this really happening? Or is Battlog at fault? 2) Is there an option in MaxDOS to turn off the Com port? 3) Should my BACKUP battery voltage dip even if the com port is on? Here's hoping someone can help, Mike BTW, My $0.02 worth on the recent flamewar (skirmish?).

Ok, I'm sure >SOMEBODY< has thought of this before... Unix has multiple features built-in to minimize typing, now every time I use my 200lx under DOS I start to dream about them. I frequently use as a completion when you've typed enough of a filename for it to be unique. I also use cmucsh which has "command-line-editing" where I can scroll back up through previous commands and edit them to reissue them again, altered.

It has everything you're looking for, i.e. Command line editing, filename completion, keyboard macros, and more. Works really well on the 100/200LX. Here's the description from filepile.com: TODDY v6.12 - A DOS command line editor. Adds macros, key reassignments, single key key file name completion, and nondestruc- tive cursor movement to the standard DOS command configuration uses less than 7K of memory.

If you're not using a Tripmate GPS then LXGPS has nothing to do with how fast you get a fix. With a Tripmate, LXGPS can speed up the process by providing the Tripmate with the current date and time and your approximate location.

Even if they didn't offer any support it would sure make things easier! It seems like such a simple little thing. Keep it on a hard drive then when someone wants a copy, stick in a disk copy it, test it and mail it to them! It seems like once a new version comes out the vendors want nothing to do with the old stuff and ignore a whole market! And most the new stuff like Caladra's Internet package need a 386 or 486 to run!

It is pretty finicky, but once you get it going, I think you'll like it. Depending upon how much memory you have, you can hot-key between apps, which I wasn't able to do with HDM. Also, if you later remove a program, it will sometimes lock it up when it goes looking for it (when you start the program).

I'm curious if the new Iridium network of LEO (low Earth Orbiting) satellites are going to be capable of carrying data as well as voice communications. Their television adds are boasting that they will be able to provide dial tone anywhere on the Earth (maybe with the exception of the North & South Poles). Just think you could be in the middle of the ocean or desert and still be able to make a call to retrieve your email! An interesting sidenote is that if you live in an area without a lot of light from the city it is possible to view the Iridium satellites at night. A quick search of the web will lead you in the right direction. For all the packet active hams on the list who may want to work Mir during the next months before it is allowed to fall from the sky once the first piece of the International Space Station is in place, be aware that the packet frequency has changed to 145.935 simplex 1200bps packet.

How come the price is 249 dollars AND 70 cents? 70 cents isn't much. Although I havn't been to the US I talked to a guy that had been there this summer. It seemed very important that one could pay the exact amount, and receive the exact change, when purchasing something. No leniency! This became a problem because soon he had A LOT of small change in his pocket, he said! And he felt he always held up the queue trying to find the exact amount to pay... Here in Norway we have 100 (xre) ears :-) equal 1 krone. The 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25 ears have been gradually phased out over the last 30 years because of inflation. So now our 50 ears is the last. What happens is that for small amounts, up to about USD 20-30, the price is advertised as 29.90 but is rounded up. And sometimes it is rounded down when the decimal value is below 0.25. Something expensive would usually be rounded to the nearest 10 krone, like 2990.00. From American litterature I read about bits, nickels and dimes, do 1, 2, 5, 10 cents etc. still circulate? Got me thinking this... Does everybody use a credit card for everything? (This is NOT an invitation for jokes, try and resist the temptation, David!) Are we being had here in Norway? With a price like 249.70, would one haggle over the price, or does one just accept it? Maybe I should do a cc: to alt.folklore... br Franklin (who dreams of Indians, Disneyland, Cape Canaveral and the Smithsonian...) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1998 09:47:07 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Brown, William" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Brown, William" Subject: WATTCP/Mini Telnet MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I've seen it on the list but not noted it down.

Instead you would increase your power until at least the stray radiation would be enough to reach the spacecraft. This is convenient: no wires to lay out, no dirty hands, etc. We are talking about CE (Windoze), ease of use. At the same time, I have to admit that your batteries won't last as long (due to the higher power needed), you need to carry around a bigger transmitter to do exactly the same (well, actually to do a little less than the same), and you need to accept higher losses in your feedline due to excessive SWR. You might be forced to "upgrade" to a low-loss cable, probably three times the size of the good old RG58. But in the CE approach, ease of use should have its price, and the ease of use should never be compromized.

In the US, I end up with coins with smaller values printed on them, but since the US-Dollar is more expensive than the Dutch Guilder, again the same value. There seems to be some universal amount of money that people are not willing to waive, regardless how the value is arranged in local currency.

I hadn't seen stars like that since the 60s in central Texas while in Boy Scouts. I could see some items moving roughly NW to SE and vice versa, and one of the other scouters in the group said those were low orbiting satelites. All I know is that as clear as the sky was, they were still faint and moved very fast - they covered the sky in what seemed like only a few seconds, and of course the canyon walls did limit the arc of viewing somewhat. I can recommend Zion, Arches, and Bryce Canyon NPs, if you're in the area. BTW, the meteors were also numerous.

Hmm. Looking round on my palmtop I see in F:\HP100ISV\TOOLS: GARLIC DOC 9221 08-02-94 11:53a GARLIC C 23700 08-09-94 12:14p GARLIC EXE 19587 08-09-94 12:14p GARLIC.C seems to be for "Ver 1.2". Now the catch is that I don't know whether this is from the old ISV kit that I got from HP or the newer SDK that I got from Thaddeus (which comes with a revised and somewhat more complete manual than the older HP one though I think both describe the GDB file format somewhat).

If by backup battery you mean the small button cell in the side of the palmtop then no, this should not be affected by the COM port state. The C= OM port increases current consumption by about 10% over the current when the= COM port is off, but this is supplied by the main AA cells and the small change in current may affect the battery voltage of the main cells a little, but how much depends on the type of cells, their age etc. The important fact is that current consumption is increased, the battery voltage does not matter as long as it does not drop below the threshold a= t which the palmtop complains that the battery needs charging.

I've been playing around with BattLog 1.4 & 2.2 a fair bit (not *that* kind of playing!) and it's true - the backup battery does tend to fluctuate a bit (currently at 2.94v). This is mostly when the machine is first switched on (or batteries are changed) - the battery goes from a highish voltage and can drop a fair bit.

First off, this list is generally limited to the old DOS based HP palmtops, the HP95LX, HP100LX and the HP200LX. There are alot of web sites that are specifically for windows CE based machines, such as your HP360LX. There is also a mailing list but I don't have the address handy. If you can't find it drop me a note and I will send it to you. Now, addressing your problem. Your HP360LX does have a com (serial) port but it used a nonstandard connector. That is the port that is used to dock with the host machine for syncronization and download of programs. You should be able to buy just the serial adaptor cable, without the dock, for connecting to another computer. Then using that and a null modem adaptor (available at most computer stores) you can connect to anything that has a serial port. As far as terminal software goes I am not sure what is available. Your best bet there is to search for some wince web sites, many of them have software repositories. There is also a good bit of commercial software out there, check www.mobilesoft.com for a good commercial software site. Good luck and drop me a note if you need the mailing list address or even some web sites, I have them around here somewhere. Pete Peter W.

As others have pointed out, you've posted to a mailing list that pretty much serves users of HP's DOS-based palmtops, and I'm one of them. This isn't a flame though, but a genuine expression of curiosity by one who thinks he may have to ask the same question one day. The 360LX doesn't have a serial port? HP's web site lists a built-in "terminal application" with TTY/VT-100 emulation, and a "synch cable" (F1223A) that looks like it would go between the 3xxLX and a PC/AT-style DE9P serial port. OK, so I guess I would need to make (or buy) at least one adapter to get that out to a DB25 of appropriate gender and DTE/DCEness, and if the "terminal application" is like the one in the Win95 and WinNT telnet client I might want something else. (Start at http://www.hp.com/handheld/palmtops/hp300lx/300lxhome.html and click on the Specifications tab at top to see the built-in apps list, and the Accessories tab, then "Cables and Connectors" to see the synch cable.) How does that not work for you? If that isn't the right path to take, how about something like a Socket Communications serial port PCMCIA card? Would that work? I've used the dual-port flavor of those before to turn DOS-based notebooks into protocol analyzers. -Frank McConnell -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1998 19:23:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , River Wolf Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: River Wolf Subject: Re: need some help..

It's about the silliest use of hardware I've ever seen. I then checked around on the web, and the closest I could come to what you need is a Socket I/O card.

The 360lx has a comport where the serial cable plugs in. That cable is a null modem so to talk with things other than a computer, like and external modem you'd need another null modem. The IR port is also a serial port.

The Palmtop handles 2/29/2000 correctly! (Lotus and Apptbook). It is in fact a leap year. Outlook98 and Franklin/Covey - if they think it is a leap year - do so correctly.

When you see the URL in Post/LX, press G (for grab), locate the cursor on the line with the URL, then press Enter. It will then ask you to confirm what text to grab, you can edit the line to just leave "http://www.xyz.com/html.html" or whatever URL you want. Then press Enter. It will then suggest to you to append the URL to HV.HOT (you can append it to any other file, of course). Press Enter. What is appended is the URL, in lieu of (which is not present obviously...), and on the next line, the URL itself. Your batch file to edit that lat file is a very functional solution. I am guessing now, trying to read your mind: You'd probably want to have Post/LX append the URL, but also ask you for any information in lieu of the <TITLE> tag, to append to the HV.HOT entry, is this correct? I'll pass this along as an improvement request to development. Avi M.

The LAB and PAG files are created by HV as workfiles it needs to locate the Web documents you download to your palmtop. I suspect that your troubles are because they get created in the root directory of you drive. The root directory is limited in that it can hold only a limited number of entries. To fix this, make sure you install HV in a subdirectory OTHER than the root, and in HV.CFG, make sure you have the following: IndexDir=3DC:\_dat\ and CacheDir=3Dc:\_dat\ This will force these files to be created in the C:\_dat subdirectory. you can delete them after the online run, but it is not sstricly necessary. The error you get indicates that there is probably not enough room to create the files, so one reason is as stated above. It is also possible that you simply ran out of space on the disk drive.

I use a 160MB on the 200LX (will not run on the 100LX without some driver...) Runs fine. The disk is fast. There is a small delay when Filer starts up, reading the directories(?) - it is DEFINITELY less than 4 seconds, but depending on how much coffee you had, it may or may not be annoying to have it rather than an instant response. For my money, this is a terrific drive. It beats all the other drives we compared against (admittedly not an exhaustive list!) except a Micron 300MHZ with 96M and a huge cache ;). Even without the cache, in plain MSDOS, that disk beat the 160MB PCMCIA. (the only issue with the Micron desktop and hard drive was that I could not just fold it, put it in my pocket and go. It also sucked 2 1.5V AA batteries dry in about 22 milliseconds, I think! ;) ..) I suppose with a 64MB 200LX (soon!), and 160MB on the A drive, I may be set for oh, a month or two. Since I got the 160MB in June, I have been amazed that I still have lots of space! When I got my 20MB in December 1985 it filled up by February 15. When I got the 40MB two years ago, it filled up in 3 months. The 160 I expected to fill up too quickly, but it does not show such signs. (I am smiling while writing this, of course...) If you want a 160MB I can sell you one. Let me know privately, in fact any of you.

As a dedicated CE-user, I have always frowned upon the people who are using antique machines like the 200LX. Recently, I heard some rumours that the 200LX mailing list has the most polite people, and that they are lining up in a queue to help out the CE users. I couldn't believe it, but I have now seen it myself. I decided to unsubscribe from my CE-lists, and repost in this 200LX-list all the questions about still unsolved CE-problems (there are many!). I advised other to do the same. Stay tuned. One question to start with: I'm looking for a coathanger which fits into my PCMCIA-port. I have been calling several vendors, but noone have it available. They all say to call back in a few months. However, I can't wait so long, as I have heard rumours that the MIR station is about to fall apart. Now, my sister has a daughter and she has all kind of Barby-dolls. She also has a Barby accesoiry set with miniature coathangers. The label says they are unsuitable for young children, so I guess I can have them. They are made from plastic, but I wonder if that matters. If it matters, can I use silver metallic spray? At least then they look like they're from metal. And to which pin in the PCMCIA connector should I connect the thing? Another question: My CE machine drains the batteries so quickly. Now it seems that if you put an apple inside a pyramid it remains much longer fresh. Also, a razor blad remains longer sharp under a pyramid, and by putting a pyramid above the fuel-tank, the car seems to run more economical on fuel. Does anyone know if a pyramid case for the CE will allow it to run longer on a pair of batteries? Or is it better to start looking for a pyramid shaped battery pack? Yet another one: If I turn the CE machine vertically, the screen goes black. However, this only happens if I'm wearing my polaroid sun-glasses. Has anyone noticed this too? Does it harm the machine?

With the higher temperatures, ice is melting from the ice-caps, and the water divides evenly over the globe, i.e. mass from the ice-caps moves away from the axle, hence a slower rotation. Never noticed that the time is adjusted with extra seconds (usually around 00:00 UTC) frequently? I think that around 2400 your desire will be fullfilled.

I was up to 30 hours with 1/4 to 2/3 of the battery fuel tank still showing, then pow next day at around 31 hours worth they gave up the ghost. Back to a 10 pack of alkalines for the price of two Litiums I think 8-) as I don't like this no warning. The funny thing is that when I changed to two Alkalines that I had with me (as luck would have it) the auto-off timer stopped working. Buddy showed it locked on 180 seconds, unloaded Buddy to see if that was causing problems but still no joy, ended up doing a crtl-alt-del, this fixed the problem. However it brought to light (to me anyway 8-) ) that there does not appear to be anyway to change the auto off time setting or disable the function (I went looking thinking that I had changed something in the set-up). Am I missing something simple or is that the case? Regards from a wet cold windy Western Australia.

I've finally been able to duplicate the problem with key200 loaded and unloaded, so I no longer think that is the problem. This is the step-by-step process of how I get the error: 1. Close all open applications to make sure I have enough memory 2. Open Application Manager 3. Start HV 4. Press F5 for the Hot List 5. Select the page that I want to view (c:\cmu\18240\web\syllabus.htm) 6. choose "Go To" 7. I get the "Could not create index file (LAB)." error message (So at this point, I can't scroll down in the page) 8. Press F8 for Info 9. Press F6 to go back At this point the page is loaded correctly. To view a page that is in my Hot List, I have to follow steps 4-9. I still get the error message if I start HV from Filer or if I close the System Manager and start HV from a plain DOS prompt. I can also get the error message immediately after I choose File/"Open Local File". Any ideas?

No problem here - you are just missing the WinCE approved rotatable lens polarising sunglasses. We also stock these. One final accessory you may want to consider, especially if you have a colour WinCE, is the "Worthington" - a collapsible designer picnic table with table cloth so that you can sit under it and be able to read your WinCE outside in bright daylight.

If you wish to flame me please feel free. I have plenty of room in my deleted mail folder.:-) P.S. I, too, have included a little joke in hopes of appeasing the group: The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little Johnnie walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well the teacher couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report on something exciting, so she asked him just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnnie. "Well I can see that," she said. "But what is so exciting about a period." "Damned if I know," said Johnnie, "but this morning my sister said she missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next door shot himself." --------------- -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1998 12:33:39 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Subject: Re: Send fax with mobile phone In-Reply-To: <009901bdd756$43fdaea0$d8a5d6d0@pacific> from "Tim S." at "Sep 3, 98 09:16:52 am" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have no idea where the .GR domain is, but I see you're lucky enough to be in an area with GSM cellular capabilities.

I have an old private eye, it is a rather interesting little cube you wear like glasses and see a monochrome (on mine red) image seemingly projected into space through one eye. The cube itself is about 1 inch square. For more information on this sort of thing do a search on wearable computers, some of the big universities have some interesting projects, using off the shelf components, already setup. As far as the keyboard, chording keyboards are about the size of a hockey puck and have only a few keys. Letters and such are "played" by pressing combinations of keys together, hence the chord idea. The same sites above should have some pointers to these as well. Pete Peter W.

You can use the 200LX / Accton card with a Windows network, but it requires a special driver available only on the Japanese NIFTY-Serve palmtop forum. The "Card Battery Low" message is completely normal. For more information, visit my site at http://www.hplx.net and read the 200LX Networking FAQ.

Best computer I have EVER owned. Although a newbee here I've been enjoying this list yet see few questions about the HP calc capabilities but here goes.... I really like to use the solver capability of my 200 LX to aid my inadequate math abilities and would like to come up with a better way to quickly compute total seconds into hours, minutes, seconds. I work on equipment that requires and reports many settings in total seconds till an event occurs and I always fumble trying to figure exactly how long that interval is. I currently have multiple equations that link variables but suspect that the skill level of members on this listserv will quickly reveal a better way. It would be slick if I could have one solver equation to do the whole thing. Here's what I do now....likely crude to a real mathematician but it works. first I have an equation that reads: INT(secs / 3600) = int_hours With this equation I enter the total seconds and the solver tells me how many whole hours. ==================================== second I have an equation that reads: INT((MOD(secs,3600))/60)=r_mins With this equation the remainder of the first equation is extracted and divided by 60 to give me a whole number of remaining minutes ==================================== third I have an equation that reads: MOD(MOD(secs,3600),60)=r_secs With this equation any remaing seconds are extracted and reported. It is important that the results appear as hh hours mm minutes ss seconds.

Both the Collins dictionary sold by Thaddeus and the American Heritage Dictionary would work wonders for finding definitions like that. They're much more than spell checkers. I haven't posted a review of either of these dictionaries yet, but I will probably be doing so shortly. I do have a review of the Collins Multilingual Dictionary up however. One version of the American Heritage Dictionary includes everything the printed version has-- word for word the same, including pronunciation and word history and everything.

I re-loaded Nettamer on my 200lx and it dials my ISP and does a great job with the PPP session. Downloaded email and news groups. THe only problem with Nettamer is that it locks up when I disconnect from my ISP. I have a 2190 Nokia GSM phone that plugs into the 700LX but alas, no GSM here. I have a 2160 analog/digital that I think is plug compatible with the 200lx so I will see if I can get the 700lx to work with the 2160. I'm not sure how the Nokia data card will function as an analog modem, or if it will even work. But it is something else to play with for a while but sure wish I could get GP to work on it, life would be much easier... -- 73 Nick Marsh WB4SQI -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1998 23:38:55 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Darren Frick <dfrick@SNIP.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Darren Frick <dfrick@SNIP.NET> Subject: Re: New 200lx's for 249.70 Comments: To: Franklin Eekhout <franklin@ONLINE.NO> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Hi all, > > Since the list has gotten a little frivolous lately, I thought I would = ask > real dead serious question...

A PiloKey adapter is a little doohickey that is a DB-9 pin to Newton-type DIN-8 serial adapter. I got it from Landware with their PalmPilot-to-Newton software, and it works with 320LX's serial cable. 2. Yes, it is Newton Key. I'm running it on a 320LX with the Win CE 2.0 upgrade ROM and it works quite well. It puts a little icon thingy in the system "tray" to control on/off and a few remappings. Interestingly, there is a tiny "lag" sometimes between a keypress and the character showing up in Pocket Word, yet when using a Newton keyboard on the 200LX with Memo, there is no lag. 3. I use a Newton keyboard that was modified by Shier Systems to work with the 200LX. Basically they cut off the mini DIN-8 and put a HP proprietary 9-pin female plug as is on the connectivity pack cable, and then you run the freeware Newton keyboard driver (ntkey2lx.exe, I think this is.) As far as I know, they'll modify your Newton keyboard or sell you a new one already "fixed". I guess you could say I like Newton keyboards. If only I had liked the Newton itself half as much ... Let me know if I can be of further help.

(off topic) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit With all the postings about problems with software lately, I just thought I'd share my recent experiences with you all. I have a Pentium machine with many gigabytes of storage. I obediently bought Windows 95, and since I work in the industry, I know the importance of installing all the Service Packs that Microsoft generously makes available. I mostly use my computer to write reports, do presentation graphics, spreadsheets, contact databases, accounting and of course to communicate with others on the net. The software needed to to this, plus a few data files completely fills my harddisk. I no longer have Internet access because Internet Explorer has stopped working, giving error messages when trying to follow links. My Microsoft Internet Mail client crashes frequently - apparently because I have a large in-box filled mainly with postings from this mailing list. <G> My PC takes about 5 minutes to boot from cold. Should I get a 8G harddisk, another 32MB of RAM, upgrade to Win98 and install all my software anew? Or is there an alternative? I also have several LX'es (a 100, a 200 and a 320) The one I use is a 200. I write reports, do presentation slides (using a piece of CAD software) surf the net and send mail, do calculations, run Matlab (finally got the right version), pspice and Derive to do analysis of transfer functions and design digital filters. I also use it to send faxes (rarely nowadays). I have a 40MB Kingston flashcard, a Nokia GSM cellular modem, and a GPS that I use in my car with the LXGPS software (brilliant!) It turn on instantly, works two weeks on a set of AA's, rarely crashes, and if it does it's easy to clean up the mess. It weighs 200 grams, I can do useful work on a transatlantic flight, and print via a Black Box serial->parallel converter to my battery powered HP 340 printer. I think I saw a couple of 386 machines when I cleaned out my garage. I also bought a Red Hat Linux 5.1 CD here the other day... The moral? Apple said it: Think different! The world is much to beatiful a place to be locked in combat with Windows apps.

Because there is speed of initial and subsequent launches, as well as the speed of actually getting to the information you need. However, since launch speed is measureable, and since I have identical items in the contact and calendar files for both, here goes... both are stock units with a 32MB flash card installed (the HP is a 4MB, the Nino is the 312) Action Nino HP200LX Calendar start 2.5sec 3 sec Contacts start 2.5 sec 2 sec restarting the apps (actually, reactivating is probably the technically correct term) took under a second for each, around .5 seconds. One thing I found while doing this is that the speed difference is more apparent than real, and I believe that it is based on the hourglass. On the Nino, you get a huge hourglass box that is the last thing to go away (then the OS redraws that portion of the screen). On the HP200LX, the hourglass is small and blends in, and goes away before the final redraw. In fact, when re-activating an app, you don't see the hourglass at all on the HP but you do on the Nino, and they both take about the same amount of time. All that said, I still can't decide what to do for myself ... I like the Nino because I have become a 'pen' junkie since the Newton, and the ability to directly sync to Lotus Notes. However, there is no substitute for the HP calculator with numeric keypad - except my HP48 :-) - and the PIM apps are quite good. Decisions, decisions - oh I know, I'll keep both!!!

Nah, pushing the earth closer to the sun is *way* easier. Just get everyone in the world to go to Australia and stand on footstools.

If it can't find your word, it comes back with a definition of the word that most closely matches. It does a reasonably good job, and even understands phonetic spellings of words.

The website is a bit vague isnt it, I couldnt find any mention of OS but its probably the latest version of EPOC16 since Psion / Symbian is in an alliance with NOKIA and others to use EPOC in phones and handhelds and ignoring WinCE. Also it mentions the use of Solid State Disks (SSD's) which is an outdated Psion standard, but they also refer to them as CF devices, so maybe theres a CF card in the SSD or something.

I've used it sucessfully with Quicken 6 Deluxe on OS/2 Warp 4 and Quicken 98 Deluxe on Linux + WABI + Windows 3.1. Presumably it works well under "real" Windows too ;-) But Intuit does not sell it any more. They could probably still sell it for $20 even without any support, and sell the thing through the Web with no manufacturing or inventory costs, but they don't. How many of us use Quicken on our desktops b/c of Pocket Quicken, and Intuit is abandoning mobile devices? As far as I know, PQ Connect was only available from Intuit directly, so chances of finding a used copy are probably slim. -Peter -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1998 20:26:38 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Quinton Jones Jr <qman@EARTHLINK.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Quinton Jones Jr <qman@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: FTP program for the 200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Now that I got DOCHTML up and running, does anybody know of a good FTP program that will run on the 100/200 LX.

So, you could export a large scale map of the entire world, calibrate it with lat/long, convert it for use with GPSCGA and then hook the GPS unit to the palmtop to display your location anywhere in earth. It is a moving map program, so you could make the map larger than the palmtop's screen and it will scroll to wherever you are. Then when you want more detail, like on a country or state level, just make those maps as PCX files and then tell GPSCGA to use that new map. It is really not a zoom feature, but it would have the same effect. I did this when I was traveling from New Jersey to Maryland for a palmtop BBQ meeting. I used the large scale map for most of the trip and then when I was near my destination, I loaded the smaller scale map which had more detail. > Ability to graphically show you the cities closest to you, and a rough = idea > of terrain. With GPSCGA, that would all depend on whay map you used (either electronic or scanned paper) to make the PCX file.

If they are really needed from an electronic perspective, I will look into packaging some capacitors in an AA form factor.

However, it may not be practical to do so, because you'll get an endless stream of extraordinarily irritating "MAIN BATTERY EXTREMELY LOW" and "BACKUP BATTERY LOW" warnings. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Sep 1998 10:48:22 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "A.

You probably wouldn't have to worry much about the coin cell corroding or bursting. Isn't that a alkaline problem? Also, even if you have a constant mains, if you need to keep a program running wouldn't you want to have a set of AA's in in case of power fail? Rechargables like NiMH usually don't burst and you could keep them trickle charging to keep them fully charged in case of a power fail. Or keeep a set of lithiums in.

I am also not downloading any files, so my file space should not be changing during or after running HV (unless HV copies a local file to another local file to view it. But that would be kinda silly). I downloaded the files once, and stored them in a directory. When I am using HV, there is no connection to any other machine. All files are local. < snip > > > This is the step-by-step process of how I get the error: > > 1. Close all open applications to make sure I have enough memory > > 2. Open Application Manager > > 3.

C:\TMP > MUST BE DEFINED and ON THE PALMTOP. HV will NOT define one for > you on te fly! Directory does exist. I also know that HV can find the directory because after following steps 1-9, c:\tmp has .lab and .pag files in it. If I remove these files and do 1-9 again, they come back. During this whole process, I still have ~140K free on my disk. > > > 8. Press F8 for Info > > 9. Press F6 to go back Even if HV does copy a local file to another local position during viewing, this wouldn't affect my situation because the HTML files that I am viewing are in the range of 8K to 20K. So there would still be plenty of room on the drive. This problem has me completely puzzled.

Perhaps someone could assure/teach me that these batteries don't suffer from the same degradation as older CZi and Alkaline styles... Ditto for the button style backup batteries... You're right, I'd probably like to have batteries in place for riding out any transients in the external power source, but not at the expense of ruining the inside of the battery compartment.

If you use the HP-dos-LX then I'm sure you do. Take a little time in the coming months to contact the copyright owners by snailmail or email and inquire about their products. Suggest they either make the older dos items available again. Either as 1) Retail products. 2) Shareware 3) copyrighted Freeware. 4) Locked copyrighted "bonus Program" available to licence holders of their current version. Point out to them the example of Lotus and "Agenda 2.0" now available on the offical Lotus ftp site. Or the example of Corel which began selling WordPerfect 5.1+ again If they say the don't have a copy of their own software any longer, offer to make them a copy from your backup disks. Explain that you would never make copies for anyone else but since they are the owner of the copyright... Suggest they look over the super site and the Thaddeus site and see how much interest their still in in older DOS programs. =================== Am I doing this myself? Yes I started this week by writing to Nova Development, They made the "Instant Library of Quotations" and "American English Witing Guide". Both run well on the Palmtop, Even running from System manager. It requires only 56k of RAM to run the full program. It can be run as a tsr but I don't run it that way.

Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store, Only this and nothing more. Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing, Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more. "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!" One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more, Just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" Was this some occult illusion? Some maniacal intrusion? These were choices undesired, ones I'd never faced before. Carefully, I weighed the choices as the disk made impish noises. The cursor flashed, insistent, waiting, baiting me to type some more. Clearly I must press a key, choosing one and nothing more, From "Choose Abort, Retry, Ignore?" With my fingers pale and trembling Slowly toward the keyboard bending, Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored, Praying for some guarantee Timidly I pressed a key. But on the screen there still persisted words appearing as before. Ghastly grim they blinked and taunted, haunted, as my patience wore, Saying "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" I tried to catch the chips off-guard -- I pressed again, but twice as hard. I pleaded with the cursed machine: I begged and cried and then I swore.

If there is more than one match, they are displayed sequentially. Really neat. The history search is circular in WCED (wced -c), but when you get to the end of the history in TODDY, it does not wrap-around. Curiously, *stepping* through the history does wrap in TODDY. Perhaps there is a switch somewhere...? There is no reason to not wrap. The Filename completion in TODDY acts just like History completion, as it should: each successive press of the search key brings up successive matches. In WCED (and unix tcsh), multiple matches cause them to be listed. I prefer TODDY. When matching directories in TODDY (switch to do this; /NT10), a matching directory gets a trailing '/'; and unfortunately DOS doesn't like this: cd dir\ <- doesn't work! TODDY provides the solution of deleting the '\' (switches again), so it looks like this: cd dir <- works now! But I prefer the WCED solution, which *displays* the trailing '\', but doesn't pass it to DOS (wced -t). This enables you to see which are directories, and which are filenames. It is also how tcsh works. WCED also has filename lookup for the PATH as well as the current directory. I don't use it often, but it is useful when I do. There was an annoying error in the docs for TODDY: I cleverly tried to use the key assignments they suggested directly instead of typing them all in again; but they had used the wrong names for some of the commands!! (Grrrr) But TODDY does seem to be very comprehensive: you can redefine it to do whatever you want. WCED should adopt TODDY's idea of successive filename completion; and TODDY should have wraparound in both filename and history completion (there is *no* advantage in not having it). I'd also like TODDY to use WCED's approach to the '\' trailing directories. There! WCED wins... for now... -- Brendan.Macmillan@fcit.monash.edu.au http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren Voice + 61 03 9905 5194 AUSTRALIA Thesis: Electronic Commerce Impersonation Form no covetous desire, so that the demon of greediness may not deceive thee, and the treasure of the world may not be tasteless to thee.

Newton message pads had the unique ability, with software, to monitor and log battery voltage AND current draw so that the user had a good idea of which modems, flash cards, etc. were high on battery consumption.

I also have a HP Omnibook 3000 which I plan to use as my main computer. I hope to buy Ethernet and Modem cards that both systems can share. A combined LAN/WAN card seems to be out because to power considerations. The only Ethernet cards that the FAQ says word are the Accton and Silicom ones. Would they be fine for my laptop too? They're old models, that's my worry. For a modem card, would 56K modems be usable in the HPLX? Assumably at a quarter of the max speed. Or would they draw too much power? The alternative would be to get an external modem that both my systems can share. Is there a good battery powered pocket modem around? Incidentally does anyone have any experience with using US style telephone sockets in the UK? I believe a simple adaptor would do but have been told rewiring may be needed. I will be getting a Flash RAM card as well. Has anyone used the Simple Technology cards? Finally, has anyone set up an IR connection between the Omnibook and a HPLX? Haven't been able to find an account of how to do this. Thanks, and apologies if the info I seek resides somewhere on the web.

I've used my Accton card (and the Silicom card, for that matter) in both the palmtop and my Windows 95/98 machine. I'd recommend you get the Accton EN2216-1 card. Go to www.computeresp.com and search for EN2216-1. Last time I did that I think that they showed www.hardwarestreet.com as having the best price... it was around $60. > For a modem card, would 56K modems be usable in the HPLX? Assumably at a > quarter of the max speed. Or would they draw too much power? The It would probably draw too much power, although I'm not sure. The Simple Technologies 33.6 Communicator with SimpleJack works very well; mine draws about 125ma. But I'm not sure about their 56K version. A PCMCIA modem will probably run faster than an external modem, especially on a double-speed palmtop. > I will be getting a Flash RAM card as well. Has anyone used the Simple > Technology cards? Get a Simple Tech card. They're the fastest, cheapest, and lowest-power cards I've seen. Plus they have a five-year warranty. Contact Bernie Torbik at Shore Systems (www.shoresystems.net) and he can get you a very good price. I bought my 160MB Simple Tech card from him and have been completely satisfied. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 6 Sep 1998 10:31:59 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Subject: Re: Modem/Enet/IR advice Comments: To: victory@TECHNOLOGIST.COM In-Reply-To: <3.0.3.32.19980906211511.0082ade0@singnet.com.sg> from Victor Gan at "Sep 6, 98 09:15:11 pm" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > A combined LAN/WAN > card seems to be out because to power considerations.

I hope that my question has not been answered recently. I have installed QFAX v1.09 on my 200lx and find it quite useful. However, faxed files are received 1.5 or double spaced regardless of the setting in the qfax.cfg file. I have written to the author without response. Also, a memo file I recently printed directly from my 200lx was also 1.5 or double spaced when printed. Is there a setting in the palmtop (or Buddy) that I am overlooking?

Or would they draw too much power? The Viking 56k will work. It draws about 144 mA which is pretty close to the 150 mA limit. Their 33.6 will work too. The lowest power one is the Simple Tech 33.6 which uses about 125 mA. 33.6 is about the fastest that is really practical in the 200LX. >The >alternative would be to get an external modem that both my systems can >share.

Bruce Martin wrote on 27 August 1998:- < For those who do not know of this very useful FILER.INI trick, here is the < scoop from Section 15 of the HP200LX FAQ at <http://www.hplx.net/faq.html> First up, although I said earlier that this site was not responding, HP200LX FAQ at <http://www.hplx.net/faq.html> has become available once more; must have been a temporary glitch. Sorry for causing any concern. Secondly, I have checked out the above tip but there is no further information other than as given earlier by Bruce:- < Q. How can I get the filer to run a program based on a file's type? < Create the file c:\_dat\filer.ini, containing file extensions and < commands to run, as shown in this example: < ÝLauncher¨ < ICN=D:\BIN\ICN200.EXE % < ZIP=A:\BIN\PKUNZIP.EXE % < When you select a file and press ENTER, if the selected file has the < extension ".ICN" the icon editor on drive D: is started and the file name < (the `%' is replaced by the name of the selected file) is given as < argument. If the selected file has the extension ".ZIP" it is < automatically unzipped (assuming PKUNZIP lives on a:\bin). Apparently this only works on the 200LX, but I could not get it to work on mine, even after someone pointed out that "ÝLauncher¨" has to be included just like that as the first line. Eventually I noticed that in line 2 of the above example the "lx" part of the icon editor had been omitted. I had not got past trying to display an icon from the FILER and so had assumed that the whole programme was problematical. Certainly once the missing "lx" is added the programme does indeed display any icon file that is loaded. However, I also thought that one had to have a programme like FILINI or PNS200 installed as well, in order to use the FILER in this way for files with other extensions, or else one had to use BUDDY. Unless I am mistaken, there are no other built-in commands that can be accessed to activate files with other extensions, such as .doc. So, back to the drawingboard. I decided to try installing PNS200, available on one of the HP Powerdisks. Having transferred the files to the A: drive of my 200LX, I went for a quick test and added only one extra line to my FILER.INI file:- DOC=A:\HPDISKS\PNS200\PNS200.EXE % When then attempting to open a .doc file in the FILER I was first prompted to open it or to list it. If you select "open", you get the message that the file ... cannot be found. Going back over the readme.doc I found out that certain other files have to be downloaded from other sites in order to perform this operation. It is not therefore a simple business and I have yet to locate these files.

Every Thursday night is late-night shopping in the Adelaide suburbs and so I often arrive for the weekly battle on my way home from the City, clutching the list that my wife has painstakingly drawn up. Inevitably my briefcase is in the car and inevitably it contains my HP Palmtop, still with the unfinished Master Shopping List template in Lotus 1-2-3... The local greengrocer (whom I know well) recently had a problem one Thursday night and said that it would be great if someone could magically solve it on a computer. He was open-mouthed when I disappeared outside to the car and reappeared with my Palmtop and solved his relatively simple date calculation problem. In fact, he was so impressed that, had I wished, I could have sold him my Palmtop on the spot! He then said that our mutual friend Donald could correctly tell you the day of the week for any date, even going right back to my birthday (which made me wince to realise how old the greengrocer thought I must be!). So it was arranged that we would have a challenge between my Palmtop and Donald, though we didn't tell Donald. Now, Donald is well-known around the local shops. He is big, happy, with a huge smile and loud voice and in a limited way very talkative. You see, Donald is classed as mentally impaired. He approaches you such a way that there is no escape and asks your name and sometimes your birthday, his questions being repeated for all to hear. He has at last managed to remember my name and my birthday -- and so have all the other shoppers. As you can imagine, conversation is difficult with Donald. Now, to the point. On the evening in question, the greengrocer engaged Donald in conversation until I arrived. Donald readily agreed to tell us the day of the week for our birthdays, which I had already checked out on the Palmtop, of course. With barely a moment's hesitation he produced the correct days. We tried him with more dates and always he got it right straight away. Then I tried him with the 29th February, 2000. He got that right, too (better than some computers), and agreed that it was a leap year, while 1900 was not. The trouble was that he could not tell us how he did it. I was so intrigued that I asked him again for my birthdate, not this century, but last century. After a very slight pause, he came up with an answer, one day out. This struck me as odd, because if you know a date for one century, it is not too difficult to get it for the previous or next century. The weekday advances by one every successive year and two on a leap year. Therefore it advances by 5 every 4 years, or 125 in 100 years if the turn of the century is a leap year. Hence, if the weekday of my birth is Wednesday this century, it will be Tuesday next century (seemingly going back one day of the week). Going back in time, it would be Thursday +1 = Friday last century, since 1900 was not a leap year. It would be Sunday in the 18th Century and Tuesday in the 17th Century. When I asked Donald what day my birthday fell on two centuries back, he was two days out and three days out for three centuries back, and yet he knew that there was no February 29th in 1900! The other strange thing is that when you ask Donald how many days there are in an ordinary year, he really doesn't understand the question and repeats it. Even if you try to help by saying 7 days in a week and 52 weeks in a year or even 12 months in a year, it has no effect. So how does he do it? I have tried repeatedly to find out by asking him how he does it and only recently have I begun to realise the most likely explanation, since I am now getting consistent answers to certain key questions. However, I shall let you think about it a little longer and give you my thoughts on it next message. BTW, Donald does not have a Palmtop, for those of you who thought you had the short answer. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1998 12:41:48 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Brendan Macmillan <bren@CS.MONASH.EDU.AU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Brendan Macmillan <bren@CS.MONASH.EDU.AU> Subject: CHUCKLE On the Degeneration of Threads MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit For some time, now, I've sadly mused, how newsgroup posts become confused. One sends; then waits in expectation, in nascent hope, and trepidation. For friendly posting in reply, a thought, a nod, a smile, a sigh. Instead, flow topics wide afield, from what the parent post revealed. And, sadly, when they rock and roll, 'tis not for her, their bell doth toll. Why won't they to their mother cling? Their voices, won't her lyrics sing? Odd word or phrase she may have spoken, in passing, really, just a token. They seize like tape upon the duct, and then her vision deconstruct.

We appear to be getting slowly closer to the solution. I have limited access to e-mail at the moment and had already drafted the forerunner of this reply ready to be sent last week but could not get access to the system. In the meantime Pierre Vignacq has posted details of his compression batch programme so I have deleted certain comments to avoid repetition. As you would have seen from another message of mine, I have found out why I couldn't get your FILER.INI tip to work with the icon editor, Bruce; but I have still to get the additional file(s) which require to be loaded in order to be able to directly open a document in MEMO from the FILER. However, this may not be a problem with our immediate concern in XINE in the way that I am trying to use it in conjunction with Pierre's PRESS.BAT programme. His programme (which I call "X") is startly simply by entering PRESS followed by the first part of the name of the file to be compressed or decompressed, ie. no extension is required. Assuming that this name has been used with only one extension, it is substituted for %1 with the appropriate extension and the programme jumps to the corresponding label where XINE is now invoked. I have arranged it so that when XINE terminates, the original file is automatically deleted to save time and memory. The beauty of this arrangement is that it can be run back in the opposite direction since XINE automatically recognises compressed or uncompressed files and supplies the appropriate extension. However, my problem is not so much starting PRESS.BAT or XINE in the FILER (though it could be useful to have that facility as you suggest), but having to manually enter the filename after typing "PRESS" (or in my case "X") at the DOS prompt, rather than being able to paste it in. I would like to be able to highlight the file to be compressed/decompressed in the FILER and then start a macro that would store the file name in the clipboard, start PRESS.BAT in DOS and then paste in the filename after "PRESS" is displayed to start XINE. The rest would automatically follow. I have worked out a macro for getting the filename (without or without extension) into the clipboard from the FILER. This can be used by the macro to then create a line in a text file:- PRESS <filename> (without extension) This can be saved by the same macro as another batch file, say XX.BAT, which can be started in the FILER and which starts PRESS.BAT, which in turn starts XINE. I have arranged PRESS.BAT not only to delete the original file once compressed/decompressed but also to delete XX.BAT, ready for re-creation when the macro is used again. Although virtually all of this can be made to work via a macro or maybe two, it becomes messy and cumbersome, particularly if you have files in various directories that you wish to compress/decompress. Being able to paste in a filename where required in DOS would save a lot of trouble. I have not had time to digest and try your suggestions on GETARG, Chris Nelson and Whay Lee, but I am determined to work out an efficient solution to the problem. Before leaving this problem, can someone tell me if some of the programmes mentioned re command-line editing (such as TODDY), could solve my problem by allowing direct pasting from the CLIPBOARD to the command line without invoking a line jump and the appearance of the cursor? I have briefly looked at some of them but they seem to fall short of doing what I want. Thanks to all of you, meantime.

Is there a way to change the "hot keys" for either of these? 2. I have installed BGFax which works well sending faxes, however I have not been able to get my Champion modem to receive. The modem answers the call, but does not make the connection with the incoming fax. Any suggestions for how to fix this? Perhaps something in the config file for BGFax?

Even better yet, how about an external AC adapter? Keeps the batteries from leaking either inside or outside. However, this was exactly the question: can you feed the 200LX externally without having batteries inside? Personally, I think it is possible, but one should take the following precautions: 1) Instead of the batteries, connect a zener diode of 2.6 volts /1 Watt accross the battery terminals, and make sure the palmtop is switched to "charging" and remains "charging" forever. This keeps 2.6 volts on the battery terminals, which should satisfy all onboard voltage checks. 2) "Normal" powersupplies for computers have a capacitor to take over during small glitches in the mains. A small AC adapter doesn't have them, and neither does the 200LX. To prevent the system from going into backup mode during an almost invisible glitch, one should add a large capacitor to the adapter. It is also possible to put this capacitor over the battery terminals, together with the zenerdiode. Then this capacitor acts as a small battery, and will be charged by the palmtop hardware. (The zener is still necessary because a capacitor has no end-voltage, and will happily go up in voltage as far as the charging hardware can provide. The zener limits the voltage to 2.6 volts.).

Since you have 15 days, you might consider whether an extra 25Meg is worth $70 price increase. You are paying $7.93 per Meg. The 40Meg card prices out at $4.98 per Meg. Or, the marginal cost of the additional 25Meg is $3.20 per meg. As I note that you are going to use Stacker, I assume you need the extra space. Stacker 4.0 will probably give you 30 Meg, or a little more, but that is only meaningful for ASCII and similar highly compressable files. Programs will compress a lot less. Pre-compacted data may not compress at all. As an example, the On Line Bible files fill just as much actual space on a Stack'd card as they do on an uncompressed one. (That is, if you had enough verions, references, etc., to fill the 15 Meg and then Stack'd it to 32, you would still fill the disk.) There is also a speed and memory-usage pentalty to pay. I am not knocking Stacker. I used it with great satisfaction for a couple of years until cards got bigger & cheeper. (Upgrading my Times2Tech mod to 32 Meg also eased the need for Stacker.)

Subject: Trouble with Software Carousel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit A friend of mine who used to own a 100LX with a pretty big flashcard a few years ago was playing with my 200LX over the weekend, wishing his hasn't grown legs at his workplace. He noticed I was using DOSShell and told me he thought he had a disk with something that worked better on it, and after some rummaging produced his backup disk of Software Carousel verion 6.0! He couldn't find the original disk or the docs :(, but he's got a 320LX now and doesn't plan on owning another 200LX. (I tried to convince him, but he says WinCE works fine for him and syncs better... Bah.. :) So he gave me the disk, and I'm assuming since he doesn't plan on owning another 200LX he also has given me his license? We installed it on my palmtop and played around with it, got it going.. I've tinkered quite a bit with it today and I think I have it pretty well figured out, but I'm having a strange problem. SMMX can utilize a keystuffer to autoload 1-2-3 datafiles, and it suggests that "exkey -k{F6}{123}{Wait}{Menu}fr$P$f.wk1{Enter}" should work, and it always has before, but now 123 fires up and that's the end of it. I guess SC is eating the EXKey buffer stuffing, how do I get around this? I tried making EXKey resident (and as a matter of fact is already is, I have "EXKey {More}={Alt+More}" (to run SMMX with the &... key) in my SC startup for my SysMgr session. I also tried putting back into the Autoexec.BAT, didn't seem to help. EXKey is working in the key swapping respect, &... does load SMMX rather than the normal More GUI. KeyStuff doesn't seem to be able to wait, so 123 doesn't get the full command that it's sending, usually wind up with frspread.wk1 in A1. Hopefully that's easily fixed... Anyone know of any tips and tricks for SC? I thought I found a page a while back that had some cool ideas for use with SC, but I can't find it now.

My 200lx was exposed to rain a few weeks ago, and I still haven't completely figured out what's wrong with it now. It's an old 1MB LX + ACE 5 MB flash mem. I'll describe the symptoms and hope someone of you is able to give some hints about possible cures... It is still working, actually. It obviously draws a lot more current then before the rain came. With freshly charged NiCads and backup cell, it takes about 24h until the NiCad voltage is below 2.4 V. 8h later, it switches to safety mode (don't know if that's the correct english term cause mine is a german model, but you probably know what I mean) and can't be powered on without an AC adaptor connected. Until then, the backup battery voltage just dropped from 3.11 to 3.08 V, but if I leave it without AC, uncharged, the backup battery quickly discharges. Few days later (maybe just one), it tells me about 1,5 V for both main and backup battery, and all RAM contents are lost then. And, I didn't mention... this is in power-down mode. I had the the display on for only a few seconds during the whole test. Even worse, the flash card is recognized only with full main batteries. After the main batteries have been discharged (or without main batteries), I can't turn on the whole thing with the flash card inserted, not even with AC adaptor attached. Not even a beep occurs when I press the On key, just a quiet noise from the place where the AC input is located. I have to remove the flash card, charge the batteries, and it works again. The problem of high current consumption remains without the flash card. I checked all bigger capacitors on the board with a simple (low voltage) Ohm meter but did not find any short circuit. Any further ideas what I could do to find out what's going on? Oscilloscope and other measuring instruments are available. Is there some way to check whether the display causes the trouble? Does the hp work with detached display unit, so I could run the same experiment as above (check the battery voltage difference over time) without display? Same for the keyboard unit... Although I know how to open the main unit and detach display and keyboard, I don't know whether it is possible to open and inspect the display and keyboard part. Would it be a good idea to wash these parts in distilled water - if, how?

Here in the US you can use the 2190 Nokia which is the US version of the 2110. However, the 2190, like the 2110, is a GSM phone. I have a 2160 which I believe is identical to both phones. It is digital and analog. I am hoping to be able to use the analog mode with my 700lx. I need answers to the following though before I go any farther. Is the 2160 pin compatible with the 2110/2190? How will the Nokia data card built in to the 700LX act on an analog connection? MY local cell one said they believed it may have a fall back to analog if it can't run GSM but I have no confirmation. I was hoping to run Goin' Postal to get my email but the PPP drivers and my ISP don't shake hands. Nettamer works OK but I really want GP. So there you have my 2 weeks experience with the 700LX, a really wonderful machine. I just wish HP can carried this idea into the US. Nokia did go ahead with this idea in the Nokia 9000 communicator phone. Let me know what you find out, maybe we can get something new going with this neat package. OBTW, If anyone has a used 600mah slimline battery for the Nokia 21xx series phones I need one. -- 73 Nick Marsh WB4SQI -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1998 18:09:53 -0400 Reply-To: nickwb4sqi@wwd.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Nick Marsh <nickwb4sqi@WWD.NET> Organization: None at the moment Subject: Anyone used GDBIO?

OTH the board I got from Marcan was apparently bad, tried to contact them, no reply, so I just chalked that up to experience. I got a board from T2T that worked perfectly. I haven't noticed a drastic reduction in battery life, but I put the 2X crystal in at the same time, so your experience may be different. If you do install an upgrade, David Sargeant(sp?) has instructions on his website about opening the case, it may help to read his page for a slightly different take on the process in addition to the instructions that come with the board. I also highly recommend the speed upgrade, you'll be amazed at the difference. Good luck, Paul Paul Yarnell pyarnell@proaxis.com Another case of to many scientists and not enough hunchbacks!

This is, perhaps, a bit off the wall but has anyone ever run a BBS on their 100/200lx? I'm working on a project involving the creation of a BBS and I was curious if any "old-timers" had pointers to super-small, low-resource but highly functional BBS software (freeware?). I'd need something with messaging and bulletin handling as well as X/Y/Z and Kermit modem transfers. It would need to work on either the 200lx or something similar hardware-wise. Multiple layers of security including call-back would be nice as well. Caller-ID functionality would be a dream. Way back when, I remember my uncle logging into a C64 BBS with a 300bps modem so I know the capability exists. Finding the tools on the other hand . . .

My first 'puter was a TRS80 Model I Level I that I upgraded to Level II and made my own expansion board and upgraded the RAM. I didn't know what a hard drive was, all I had was a tape drive, which at the time seemed fast :) Sometimes I drag my Timex Sinclair out of the closet and play with it for nostalgia reasons. I just wish I still had my Model I. By the way, when I had my TRS Model 100, I remember when you turned it on, it came up with a little copyright screen speaking of Microsoft BASIC, if I recall correctly that was Bill's first step into making his billions. 73 Jeff KF4KGQ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeff Johns KF4KGQ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |jeffj@scott.net kf4kgq@amsat.org | Reserve Patrol Captain | | Satellite: MIR (R0MIR-1) | Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept | | HP200LX+BayPac=Portable Packet | QTH Birmingham, AL USA | =-=-=-=-=-=- Packet AX.25 KF4KGQ@wd4epr.#bhm.al.usa.noam -=-=-=-=-=-= -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1998 19:41:28 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Subject: Re: BBS?

I think someone else mentioned minihost, and I believe that or something similar was one of that ran as a script under Telix. The whole deal could occupy less than 500k of space, and provide file up/down in all protocols, doorway, different access levels, and the callback functions could be added with a little effort in the SALT programming... I believe CID functionality could be enabled quite easily through the scripting, a little modem communication and some text file echoing at worst...

(Wise being defined as something that I have also done/like to do <G>) I have used a omnibook 600, (and now alas, a Compaq) with my LX, and the IR link works great WITH NO ADITIONAL S/W on either side. Just set up both to use IR, use 38Kbps, and open HyperTerminal on the Omnibook (assume you're running Windo$e) and the COMMS app on the LX. Transfer files with Zmodem, so you don't have to specify filenames etc. Works great. I use a Nokia with a GSM card on my lx for 400grammes of wireless Internett cruising. The card draws a bit much power, but it beats anything sitting on the bus downloading my POP mail! I also use a 14.4 battery powered modem, but Rockwell really isn't world class when it comes to CMOS technology! The batteries give me some 10 MINUTES of comms time!! Really is a no-brainer! Besides, mains power and wall phone sockets go together, so I'm never out of luck. Use a "break out box" adapter to connect to BT sockets. Great for travelling, too. I use a Kingston flash card (40MB) and am delighted. No extra S/W driver or hassle. Great speed.

Problem with water is that it causes corrosion of all connectors not gold/sliver plated and, if there is a voltage on the equip. when wet even corrodes wires & stuff. Depending on how long it was in the rain you might be able to salvage it: (works on Nokia Mobile phones). Disassemble. Spray circuit boards with warm water with detergent leace LCD well alone Scrub carefully with soft toothbrush - more on contact areas, less on small surface mount devices rinse in warm water Dry with hair dryer use rubber eraser on pressure contacts spray moisture repellant on contact surfaces wipe off dry. Careful with that LCD - if the contacts to rows/colums get wet they corrode and become useless - unless you want to disassemble the LCD proper. :-) Good luck Paul -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 15:49:28 +0000 Reply-To: collib@forensic.sa.gov.au Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Authenticated sender is <collib@wren.assay.sa.gov.au> From: Barry COLLINS <collib@WREN.FORENSIC.SA.GOV.AU> Subject: Re: Donald (Part 2) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hello again, Thanks to all who contributed to the Donald dilemma. I had already put down some of my own ideas beforehand, so as not to be influenced by other views, but it is interesting to see the similarities. Also, I had some further information which may help, but then again it could be a red herring. Here is my idea of how Donald manages to challenge the Palmtop. First of all, it is worth noting that Donald lives locally on a special farm set up many years ago to provide shelter and limited training mainly for individuals with Downes Syndrome. Donald is not in this category but clearly has some form of mental impairment. Secondly, Donald reminds me in some ways of David Helfgott, the Australian classical pianist portrayed recently in the film "Shine". He, too, suffered from some form of mental stress or impairment at some point in his life. Like Donald, he has a sudden big smile and repeats statements, not always directly answering questions. He has an incredible memory and usually performs from his extensive repertoire of lengthy classical piano pieces without the written score. Donald may also have affinities with the character portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in Rainman. ÝSeveral other people also mentioned this¨ The most that I have been able to get out of Donald himself is that he looks up the calendar for his answers. After a lot of effort I eventually got him to say that he was given a hundred year calendar by "the farmers". He has now said this more than once. The trouble is that you have to make suggestions to him to get anywhere and you can never be absolutely sure that he is not just agreeing with you to be helpful. However, he always says yes if you ask him if he has memorised the calendar, yet cannot give you any idea of how many months are on it. Even prompting him with suggestions of 7 days in a week and 52 weeks in a year, or 12 months in a year, seems to have little meaning for him. To the question of him perhaps having to resort to calculation to go back to the last century, he will eventually agree; but not convincingly, and I suspect that he is partly guessing. Anyway, I think that Donald must indeed have memorised the 100-year calendar. Anecdotal evidence exists for autistic people having unusual memory skills and recently I heard of a young male who had a penchant for reading and memorising the telephone directory. I doubt if Donald would know how to calculate a date in the normal sense of calculation, so I guess he has a lot more RAM (or is it ROM?) than most of us! Thanks James Scheffler for your personal message suggesting that Donald is likely to be autistic with hard-wired "talents". You may be largely right, though how does such a person acquire the talent in the first place? Several people suggested an autistic cause and the expression "idiot savant" surfaced several times. Certainly a prodigious memory would seem to be one prerequisite. Whatever the answer, it is good to think that just in case there are some areas where the HP LX Palmtops do turn out to have a Y2K problem, for me Donald lives just round the corner; so I might have a date with him!

I replied to someone who wanted to use the HP on external power for an extended period of time. The time was so long that batteries were likely to start leaking and ruining the battery compartment. The question this person posted was: can one use the 200LX without batteries in this case?

It's an old 1MB LX + ACE 5 MB flash mem. Assuming the thing is dried up, I can only imagine the following: I have noticed on several occasions that if some equipment is exposed to water, and there is still power in the batteries, all kinds of dissolved substances (various salts) start to disintegrate and form a substance on the conductors carrying voltage. These substances appear to be conductive as well, and they are likely to short out something or at least form a resistor. I guess this is what is draining your batteries, and it is easy possible between the tiny and closely spaced legs of the components. If it were my LX, I would do the following: Remove *all* power from the 200LX. Leave it alone for a while to discharge any capacitors. Take out the main circuit board. Then start flushing it with distilled water. The idea is to dissolve all substances again, so make the water a comfortable temperature (40 C), make a lot of movements, and don't give up to soon. It may take a while, and it may even be a good idea to repeat this procedure. Then let the board thoroughly dry before applying power to it. An hot-air oven set at 40-50 C may be of great help, both at the dissolving part and the drying part. I hope it is obvious that you should not use a microwave for this procedure. >I checked all bigger capacitors on the board with a simple (low voltage) Ohm >meter but did not find any short circuit. Two remarks here: 1) electrolytic capacitors are not sensitive to water as far as I know. 2) The 200LX consumes very little power. A "short circuit" consuming 20mA is enough to drain the batteries in a rate you described. And to get a current of 20mA by 3 volts, a resistor value of 150 ohms is sufficient. Please let me (us) know how your LX is doing after the procedure. I wish you success!

I recently was feeling nostalgic about a BBS I had run some years ago, so I restored it to the palmtop. It was RBBS Version 15.1, which was in it's time a full featured BBS.

Old is 40+, a programmer and looking for a job. My recently laid off fellow forty-somethings will attest to that.

In fact, I had DBase 3+ installed, then deleted only last month on my 200LX. Don't recall the exact settings, but I had something workable. My reference manual says the command is: SET COLOR OFF to switch to monochrome monitor (SET COLOR ON switches to the color monitor and SET COLORS TO sets the specific color attributes). You may have to use that command (in the config.db) in concert with the DOS command mono8025 before you start DB3. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 07:57:44 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM> Subject: Re: Age (was BBS) In-Reply-To: <199809081229.WAA20031@molly.cs.monash.edu.au> from Brendan Macmillan at "Sep 8, 98 10:29:57 pm" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > > Hehehe I'm not old (30 years last week) but I definately remember the > > > days before the net. > > > > Hmm, I'm 37 and don't remember the days before the net. > > So 37 is old by implication? > (turning 30 next month - I've always thought that *that* was old. heh heh?) Actually, since most of my friends assume that I started on something as old as *gasp* "an XT", 37 feels ancient. They have no concept of 8080's, and 4k memory board *kits*.

Hey I finally found the info about how, where, and what I paid for the American Heritage Dictionary I am successfully running on my LX I spoke of recently. It is from: Wordstar Atlanta Technology Ctr. 450 Franklin Road, Suite 100 Marietta, GA 30067 OR Wordstar International Inc. 201 Alameda del Prado Novato, CA 94948 phone number 800-227-5609 I ordered the "standard" version which was part number A8-0900D3. It shipped as eight 720k 3.5 floppies. The specs recommend 6.5 mb of available disk for the standard edition (what I have) but they also have a "deluxe" edition that specifies 15.5mb of available space. (that's for you hot rodders with those new 32 meg double speeds...envy...envy....envy) Anyway I frequently run this program two ways with equal success. I run it standalone by adding a /s parameter to the startup command AND also as a tsr to run with Word Perfect 5.1 on my LX. I find the standard edition quite impressive and it seems to know pretty much every word I throw at it. Using the now famous "penitent" example here is what the dictionary gave for that word. To give you a feel for speed (very non-scientific here) I had wp5.1 loaded and the dictionary loaded as a tsr and after typing the word penitent in WP I hit my chosen dictionary hot key sequence of Ctrl, Left-SHIFT, D and it took 12 sweconds for the dictionary to "swap in" and deliver the following definition. Note that I do not use anything like maxdos and note that I had terminated all the normal lx stuff and had only the dictionary loaded as a TSR and WP5.1 loaded in foreground. If you get some goofy characters in the section below it is because the dictionary uses some special characters to illustrate correct phonetic sounds. Don't worry....they work peachy on the LX and required no special effort to display correctly. penitent penyiytent (pen'i-tnnt) adj. 1. Feeling or expressing remorse for one's misdeeds or sins. Dpenyiytent n. 1. One who is penitent. 2. A person performing penance under the direction of a confessor. RUN-ONS: --pen'iytentyly adv. I purchased my copy on 2/7/97 for $29.95 and installed it on a desktop machine and then used interlnk to move it to my trusty LX. It has worked fine and I found the manual very helpful (especially the parameter for optional loading techniques) I have not contacted the above address or numbers recently and hope they are still valid but this is the info I had in with my goodies. Hope this helps answer all the questions I have received. If I missed somethin' give a yell. G'day, Keith -------------------------------------------------------- Name: Keith E.

It ran DG timeshared BASIC. It was quite fun, early on we found that it timeshared by running one line of basic per teletype. Didn't take us long, via nested defined functions, to figure out a line of basic that would take an hour and a half to calculate (thus locking out everyone else)... It also had a really cool parsing bug. If you entered ";1e111p" (; was a shortcut for print, p was garbage) it would get both an arithmetic error (overflow) and a syntax error (p). Only, you'd get the syntax error and another teletype would get the arithmetic error! Great fun with beginning students! <g> Then there's the time they decided we were using too much teletype paper and refused to purchase more. We found that the paper towel rolls from the restrooms fit perfectly (though it made a mess inside the teletype!). The janitor was really getting mad because the paper towels would disappear as soon as he filled the dispenser! Needless to say, they started buying us paper again. <g> Gee, and now that there's no more paper tape dots, what do you youngsters throw at football games, AOL CDs? :-) :-) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:13:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, David Ness <DNess@HOME.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Ness <DNess@HOME.COM> Subject: Re: Age Comments: To: zimm4@JUNO.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There's probably a well written description accessible somewhere, but here's a very simplified shot: Cores had 3 wires running through a little donut of magnetizable iron. Let'c call them NS, EW and Diag just for short. If a core was magnitized say, counterclockwise, then a N pulse and an E pulse would (1) reverse it to clockwise and (2) cause a pulse to be generated on Diag because it was reversing. A S pulse and a W pulse would leave it alone and not cause anything to be genrated on Diag. Now here comes the trick. *Just* a N pulse (or just an E pulse) wasn't enough to `trigger' the change, due to the properties of the iron donut. Thus a whole bunch of cores could be put in arrays of squrares, say 32 by 32, and we could `pulse' one NS line and one EW line, and *only* the one donut at the intersection would be affected. Thus with 32 NS lines and 32 EW lines and one Diag line (winding thru all of the donuts) we could select a particular donut, and detect its `state', without disturbing the state of any other of the donuts in the plane. Thus we could store 1024 bits in such a plane by associating `1' with counterclockwise polarization and `0' with clockwise. Then we could read any bit by pulsing the appropriate NS and EW lines and looking at what we see on Diag. Note that reading is `destructive', so core memories were wired such that their first `official act' upon reading a `1' was to immediately arrange to rewrite it back into the memory. Hope this helps.

I can tell you how the core matrices themselves were made. The cores were small ferrite toroids (donuts) arranged in a matrix on vertical and horizontal wires. there was also a "sense" wire strung thru all the cores in each layer. A 10K memory consisted of one 100 x 100 matrix for each bit, plus at least one for a a parity bit. The 1620 had (as I recall) 4 data bits, one parity bit, and a flag bit for each address. It took a considerable amount of support circuitry to run these things. (Remember, this was before ICs were invented). Addresses were selected by selecting x and y wires in the matrix. I think data was written or read by pulsing the appropriate xy combination, and either applying current to the sense wire or picking up the small current induced in the sense wire. The polarity of the pulse would depend on the direction of magnetization of the core at the xy junction... Probably the judges explanation was clearer than this 8-) -Peniel ------------ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:54:19 -0400 Reply-To: jtkrist@mail.aacc.cc.md.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Jim Krist <jtkrist@CLARK.NET> Organization: Anne Arundel Community College Subject: Re: FLUFF: Age & old fart musings MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I too started programming on an IBM 1620.

It's large, as you say, but it has every word I can think of. An example of a word that the Deluxe version has that the Standard version doesn't: "defenestration," or the act of throwing somebody out a window. <g> The deluxe version has addresses for colleges and universities as well, and lots of biographical entries. Unfortunately, it's significantly slower at looking up words than the standard version. Also, I believe both of these are version 3.0 of the dictionary. There are older versions floating around as well, but they don't compare well to the nice look and features of 3.0. > penitent penyiytent (pen'i-tnnt) adj. > 1.

However, a good choice that's readily accessable is the PalmPilot modem. 3Com had the chipset custom-made to have very low power consumption. Unfortunately, there's two problems: 1. You'll have to make a custom serial cable to use it 2. The type of connector that the Pilot uses is pretty hard to find If you feel like doing a bit of hardware hacking, check out the paper I did on gutting the PalmPilot modem and installing it in it's own case for use with your 200lx. With two AA Lithium batteries, I average about 10-12 hours with it. The down side is that the modem is only 14,400 baud, which is OK for what I do. The paper is available on the S.U.P.E.R. site.

Before the proliferation of web based sites (following the "invention" of html) the web existed as a diverse collection of ftp, telnet, wais, gopher, archie and other sites. BBS's reigned as the most popular sites for home users but the net was big at universities all over the country (and world) as well as government installations. My first computer was a ts-1000. I had to build a serial port and modem for it so I could connect to the university to do my work. At the time I was so happy to be able to work from home on the mainframe at school that I wouldn't have traded my ts-1000 for anything. Its amazing how fast things change. Pete Peter W.

And I'm sure that many of you may recall my 3/31/98 tale of woe when a 2 week-old patient of mine urinated into my labcoat pocket and straight into the PCMCIA slot of my 200lx (some unfeeling person thought this was an April Fool's joke ;¬) !). The unit made a horrible noise and refused to turn off unless there was no power supply (ALL batteries out, including back-up). The majority of suggestions recommended soaking the main unit half in distilled deionized water (I used only distilled) and leaving it opened on its side with the PCMCIA door propped open on its side in a gas oven (off) so that the mild heat from the pilot light would evaporate the water. Well it still didn't work, but Mack Baggette at Times2Tech offered to look at it and repair the unit (if possible) at a nominal fee (otherwise, returned for the cost of shipping as a fancy paperweight). He found that the original 4meg expansion was TOTALLY fried (and mailed the module back to me as proof) but everything else was intact. While in his shop, I had a new 4meg expansion installed and the 2x modification made. Now, it works like a champ. My 16meg flashcard that took the brunt of the urine was completely unscathed, despite being bathed in urine. I now take the lx out of my pocket when examining newborns, or at least keep their diapers on. Good luck in your repair. I think that you will be surprised at how resilient these little electronic wonders can be. Also, for those of you who were wondering what ever became of my 200lx, I figured that this would be an apropos time to give you an update. Thanks for all of your help. -- Terrence Chun, MD -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 15:49:09 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Nestor A.

My recently laid off = fellow Some of us child prodigies just don't understand all this preoccupation with abs(age). My first computer was VIC-20 with 0.5 K memory. I donated it to a dance studio and wrote a BASIC program that ran their advertizing on a loop through a TV set, in a store window. The computer is still alive and has been running nonstop for 15 years. Several TV sets died, but the old Vic is still at it. They just reboot it from the tape drive after power failures.

It was out of warranty and being the curious soul I am, I decided to break the card open and see what was inside. Remarkably, the inside of this card looks almost identical to a regular external modem, though a bit smaller and more cramped. As many of us have looked for an external 'pocket' modem for our lx's, it makes me ask this question. Has anyone ever converted a PCMCIA modem over to an external/battery-powered modem? I've converted different external modems over for palmtop use, but PCMCIA standards are a little hard for this tinkerer to follow. Here's my idea: A small project box with a PCMCIA slot, battery compartment, ON/OFF switch, and serial connection. You stick any standard PCMCIA modem in, turn it on, and you get a battery powered external modem that plugs into your HP via serial. This would allow for any future changes and allow you to choose which modem you wanted. If a PCMCIA slot is too difficult, a hard-wired version would work also. I know there's some circuitry involved here (voltage regulator, couple of capacitors, maybe some diodes for automatic switch over to a DC adaptor or fuses for surge suppression) but as I'm just dangerous enough to destroy something, I'm posting this up for those of you that have real engineering experience.

It runs an unnamed proprietary OS. According to the sales people it is very similar in design and function to the Psion3a, just a bit faster. You could (theoretically) get DOS to boot on this machine, but you'd have the following problems: 1) Bitmapped screen, you'd have to write your own display BIOS that renders text directly to the (probably undocumented) display memory. DOS programs wouldn't be able to access the screen hardware at all, because it's not likely to be memory compatible with CGA even in graphics mode (no one would design a display buffer like that nowadays) 2) PC-compatible screen, keyboard, timer etc. chips. I'd be very surprised if any of these are present, let alone at the same addresses. You could give a reduced level of compatibility by writing your own BIOS for these functions. 3) Disk access. The FAT filing system is used on the internal/external disks. You'd have to write your own disk BIOS which accessed the hardware though. With these limitations, you could certainly get a DOS prompt, but you'd be able to run very few useful applications (this is more or less how XTCE was when I first got it to boot DOS). You could (theoretically) get around some of these problems if Psion has included a memory management coprocessor that can trap address accesses and re-route them (ala '386 etc.)... You'd get around (1) and (2) that way by remapping the PC I/O ports and addresses you need for PC hardware compatibility. I'd say it would be as hard (if not impossible) to do all of this than to write XT-CE. Of course (theoretically) you could port XT-CE to the PSion OS and run it as a task as you do in CE. You could probably even tweek the CPU emulation to take advantage of having a real x86 present, although you're not likely to see much of that 27Mhz left after all is said and done... Don't worry guys, AMD has made an embedded 486 chip that is supported by Windows CE. On top of that the x86 version of CE requires a proper PC compatible BIOS and hardware. I'd be very surprised if somebody didn't make a x86 based CE palmtop soon (hell I would if I had the resources) that was capable of booting DOS too (PalmDOOM anybody?)...

Yes, the 2X crystal came from Times2. It is soldered in, two thru the board leads and the case is soldered to a ground pad. I had a fairly complete solder station at my disposal, so I had all the tools I needed. It is small work, for an old guy with bad eyes, like me, a magnifying lens is almost a must.

I learned COBOL on punched cards on a IBM 370 mainframe, at least once a year it would happen someone would trip and cards would fly. Then the programmer would become a sorter to get the instructions in the right order again. I can see it now. wait i need to reorder the lines of my C++ app. :) A word about COBOL, any language that requires 700 lines or so to simply read from one file and right matching records to another cant be all bad. <im kidding> The most wordy language ive ever used, and hope to never use again.

Ian, If the Psion Series 3mx is similar at all to a 3a/3c it is almost certainly running the latest version of EPOC16 OS. They are probably down playing the role of the OS because Symbian now controls the OS and is billing it as an OS for smart phones, etc. > You could (theoretically) get DOS to boot on this machine, but you'd have > the following problems: > > 1) Bitmapped screen, you'd have to write your own display BIOS that > renders text directly to the (probably undocumented) display memory. > DOS programs wouldn't be able to access the screen hardware at all, because > it's not likely to be memory compatible with CGA even in graphics mode > (no one would design a display buffer like that nowadays) This would be a problem, as any bitmap graphics would have to be resized to the smaller screen. Like XTCE does on 480 with CE machines. <g> In any event its not pretty, or simple. > 2) PC-compatible screen, keyboard, timer etc. chips. I'd be very > surprised if any of these are present, let alone at the same addresses. > You could give a reduced level of compatibility by writing your own > BIOS for these functions. Actually, I would be suprised if the 3mx hardware above was NOT the same as a PC. EPOC16 applications used to be sold for the PC as well a few years back and the EPOC16 emulator for developers is a PC-DOS only application, it wont work under windows as it needs direct access to the PC hardware. > 3) Disk access.

Once again, i think the internals as far as hardware and BIOS level will be quite similar to the PC.

If you were to do this, it may be better to port it to EPOC32 OS which is used in the series 5. This OS will also be in numerous devices from NOKIA, ERICCSON, and a number of other mobile phone providers. > Don't worry guys, AMD has made an embedded 486 chip that is supported > by Windows CE.

This would be very intersting, any clue if anyone is really working on one? BTW: Congrats on XTCE its a real piece of work. If I could find a handheld CE machine which has near the battery life of a 100/200lx I would definitely pick up XTCE, but alas they havent made one yet. Battery life always seems to suffer on those things.

When I try to connect to it through the serial cable on my PC with Win200, the HP (already in Filer) pops up the window about being in server mode and processing remote commands only, but then Win200 tells me it couldn't find an HP connected. The HP is set to COM1 and 19200 baud, is there something else I need to do? On reboot, the ROM version shows as 1.02 A. This is a 2 meg unit I just bought that was shipped from Korea. In addition to the English markings, it also has Korean characters, and the odd thing about it is that there is no serial number on the back. Is this some kind of bootleg?

The first project I managed and directed, for the company I work for now, was a real-time simulator that simulated and controlled the primary avionic funtions for an F-16 aircraft. Our customer required us to use a specified host computer, against our best judgement and recommendation. Money was not an issue, but time was. The customer knew this host computer and had numerous spares (but, I am digressing). The host computer had a whopping 16K of magnetic core memory. No disk, and only a 9-track tape drive to load the system. Attached to this host was a rack of signal I/O controllers. All simulation control was via a VT-100 terminal. We had complete simulation models running so fast that we had to actually build wait routines into them to slow them down to real-time parameters. This was before we had real-computers that do real-time processing and control. All the software for host computer was written in a proprietry assembly language that our customer provided. Our biggest avionic function that we simulated (Inertial Navigation) took less than 2048 BYTES of core memory. Now that was a fun project to demo to our customer.

The difference is that both pcmcia and internal modems have there own serial port functionality built in and expect to connect to a bus, whereas the external modem expects to connect to a serial port. There is no way a pcmcia modem could be connected to a serial port short of designing a serial connected pcmcia adaptor which I have a feeling would be VERY difficult. This is basically the same problem as mounting a ISA bus internal modem externally, you need something that looks exactly like an ISA bus for it to work. Pete PS. A better, but more limited choice, is the new modem aimed at windows CE devices. It has an external power source but it is an internal pcmcia modem. Of course while that helps with the power issue it doesn't solve the single pcmcia slot issue of the hp200lx. Peter W.

So you could have mineral deposits left behind after using alcohol to clean the system. That is the main reason behind using distilled water, it is entirely free of minerals and it will disolve any minerals left behind by the original water bath. Use alot of distilled water, depending on what it was soaked in and let it dry FULLY, a warm (not hot) site for several days with any and all openings left open is best. The thing to remember is that water isn't the problem, without any minerals in it water is a really bad conductor of electricity. Also, while it can cause corrosion if something is dried correctly that is not likely to be an issue. Also, fi you ever even THINK that water, or any other liquid, has gotten into an electrical device DON'T TURN IT ON. If it is battery powered REMOVE THE BATTERIES IMMEDIATELY. No liquid short of a strong acid is going to hurt a device that is without power. Pete Peter W.

It is cause for thought about the ingenuity of the Palmtops designers of the LX series. By tinkering with date calculations on that occasion, I discovered that the good old LX could calculate back to Friday, 15 October, 1582! It seems such an odd date, though the Friday part may be an oblique clue. It took a little bit of research to establish the significance of that date. Maybe those of you who like a challenge will want a little time to think about it; and I'll give you a bit more time than it would take Donald (of an earlier message) to confirm that it was a Friday. Another oddity for you to ponder: why does the date calculation facility on the LX offer you the third alternative of using the 360-day year? There are no prizes for the correct answer (unless you are prepared to come to Oz to collect them!), but the answer lies closer to home for most of you. BTW, if you do come to Oz, remember to bring your jumping stools (see previous message on Leap Year).

AFAIK, solutions fall into two categories: using gdbio or similar utilities to generate .csv files to be imported/exported with Outlook, or using Intellisync to synchronize with Schedule+, and then importing into Outlook. Neither of these is a synchronization, however, although you can get limited syncing with Schedule+. I have the VBA documentation for Outlook and *in theory* it would be not too hard to write a VBA module to sync with a 200LX file. You would have to first get the 200LX file onto your Windows machine via the means of your choice (I wouldn't attempt to write anything that syncs "in place" on the 200LX) and then you could do one of several things. First, you could then convert the .adb etc. files to .csv, and sync with those from Outlook, then re-convert to 200LX when done. Second, you could write code to directly read the 200LX format in Visual BASIC (although all the 200LX documentation assumes straight ANSI C code) and use a "history" file to perform a true syncronization. I think the latter is a better solution, but manipulating 200LX data files with a limited BASIC such as VBA seems to be a nontrivial exercise, to say the least. Third, you could write Visual C++ (or equivalent) code to manipulate Outlook via OLE (e.g. to call functions to export/import the Outlook data) and do the conversion similarly. This too is nontrivial. Sorry for the long post. Has anyone out there written a BASIC or C++ header or module to write/read 200LX data files? -----Original Message----- From: Graf, John <graf@NCTSI.SPAWAR.NAVY.MIL> To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Date: Tuesday, September 08, 1998 3:53 PM Subject: Synchronizing Outlook >Good Day, > >I am a long time 200lx user, but very new to this list.

Milestone one. Purchased Texas Instruments scientific calculator programed with magnetic strips in 1977. My engineering profs thought it was substandard to the RPN HPs, but you couldn't play Moon Lander during class on the HP! Milestone two. 1977 learned Fortran complete punch cards. Waiting for the COBOL folks with really big stacks of cards on the school's computer really sucked. Milestone three. 1978 took COBOL to frustrate the engineering freshman learning Fortran. The school also installed a second computer with real CRTs and keyboards for BASIC students (BASIC is the language of the future, ya know!). Took BASIC and did not do any terminal based homework until the last day of school. On the last day of school the terminals were vacant so the 15 minute restrictions did not apply. Did all my terminal based home work in about two hours. Why do you think they called it BASIC? Milestone four. 1982 purchased an Osborn Executive with 128 k of ram for $2395 a week before Osborne declared bankruptcy. Should have bought the Kaypro with 64 k. I still have the Osborne. Milestone five. I forget the year but it was shortly after the Osborne experience that I purchase an Epson laptop with a four line display, 32 k ram and a micro cassette drive. Programed in in BASIC. I still have the Epson. Milestone six. July 3, 1986 I purchased a Mac Plus for $1700 with a whopping one meg of ram. Still have the Mac Plus. The first portable Mac, an Atari Portfolio, several Powerbooks and Windoze laptops followed. Milestone SEVEN. Somewhere when I was in Mac land the HP95 was introduced. Finally a real computer. Never again would I nor mankind need to be chained to a cumbersome, heavy computer. Milestone EIGHT. 32 megs of Mack's handiwork (soon to be 64) has finally fulfilled my dreams of what a real personal computer is. Avi at D&A and Bernie Torbik also deserve credit for filling in the gaps. What's next? I kind of wish I remembered more COBOL to make some big bucks on the Y2K thing. Nah! The prospects of a 486 palmtop are interesting but I think I'll place my bets on buying a couple of extra back up 200LXs for Mack to hot rod. Given the little bit of computer crap I have experienced, betting on the 200LX is a sure thing.

Hence my love of the 200LX (A wonderfully modifyable and interface-ready machine, thanks to it's serial port and IR port) Strangely, I actually do have experience with magnetic core memory... as an experiment, in high school, I built a working 16 bit 'storage module'... a 4x4 matrix of addressable magnetic cores... the wires were threaded onto a fretwork wooden frame, much like a chair seat, though not nearly as large. it was perhaps six by six by one inches, and did nothing useful, except that with some zener diodes and debounced relays, interfaced with a motorola 68HC11 microprocessor running a forth program of my own coding to use the 'storage module' as a 16 bit binary counter... Let's just say it took me a LONG time to figure out why it wouldn't count beyond two... I didn't realize that memory reads were destructive! Speaking of the 68HC11, I still have the prototyping borad of which I speak, and used it all through college (until I did the foolish thing and dropped out) in my embedded microprocessor applications lab... there it took shape as the 'brain' of a six legged monstrosity whose design can be found in "Robot Builder's Bonanza"... named FRED III (FRED = Free Range Electronic Device... it had no tether, as it was very large...)

I took gdbload and garlic and mixed it around a bit and created something that converts the Outlook contacts folder (exported as a CSV file) into a HPLX .pdb files. And just tonight I figured out how to use VC++ and OLE and the CDO library so that the program will be able to read/write directly from Outlook (instead of requiring you to import/export a CSV file) - but I haven't had a chance to integrate this code yet. I'm not really ready for beta-testing yet, but if you are intent on trying something out, I have download instructions below. I sent the note below to Al, but he's on vacation and hasn't had a good chance to try it out. I do plan to releasing the source and making the code freeware, once it stabilizes a bit. It's written in Standard C++ and uses STL and the native COM support in the Microsoft VC++ compiler. Cheers, - Joe -----Original Message----- From: Joe Barrera Sent: Sunday, September 06, 1998 10:50 PM To: 'Al Kind' Cc: 'Joseph S. Barrera III' Subject: alpha test of outlook -> hplx exporter > Thanks for your efforts (and please include me on your beta team ;-) ) Sure, no problem! The state of the project right now is: 1. I currently only do Outlook -> HPLX and not the reverse (and I don't merge data) 2. I currently only do address book (contacts), not calendar 3. I have (modified) versions of both gdbload and garlic embedded in joebar.exe, since the gdbload code by itself doesn't produce a pdb file that the OmniBook phone book program likes. Obviously, I'd rather just fix the gdbload code, but I haven't yet figured out what magic thing makes OmniBook phonebook unhappy. 4. The program currently requires the user to manually export a file from Outlook. I don't yet have the OLE automation code working to do the export automatically. One of the design problems I've had to face is the relative mismatch between the HPLX address fields and the Outlook address fields. I've had to be a bit creative about how I use the fields. For example, if the contact has a web address, I try to fit all of the street address into Address2, and use Address1 for the web address. If you want something to try out, then grab <http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/joebar.exe> http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/joebar.exe and <http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/modeldb.pdb> http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/modeldb.pdb and stick them in some directory x:\d1\...\dn. Then, in Outlook, do: File (from menu bar), Import and Export, Export to a file, Comma Separated Values (Windows), Contacts (the folder where you keep your contacts info), Save exported file to x:\d1\...\dn\contacts.csv Then, cd to x:\d1\...\dn and run joebar.exe. The program spews out lots of debugging output which you may want to redirect to a file (or nul). Finally, it will produce a phone.pdb that can be used in either the 200LX or OmniBook 530/600/800/etc. address book programs. If these instructions work for you, and the program appears to do something useful on your machine, then I'll probably resend the instructions to the 200LX list.

I am always seraching for soul buddies, and here I have found them!! A lot of old men remembering their past glories in the days of yore (read core - We are the Core men!) I too am an old person, being forty and something (stopped counting), I like to sit at the mall looking at youth passing by. (read: those gorgeous 30 year olds) As age progresses you tend to become stubborn, narrow minded and hard of learning. That explains why we fight for dear life to keep our LX'es. They remind us of a time when Adam Osborne and young Bill were champions giving us the freedom to compute on our very own hardware, and Kernigan looking like a Woodstock poster, (bet he smoked pot) and yes I still have my original ATT Unix manuals. I am not so old that I have lost my sense of proportions tho' - I have always knocked the IBM PC, being much slower and dumber than a good CP/M machine. In fact nothing beats Perfect Writer on a 10MHz CP/M machine hooked up to a FACIT 80Hz refresh amber terminal either for speed or functionality!!! So I use my LX whilst biterly complaining that the world chose Bill&Big Blue and not Adam&Garry. If only Garry hadm't been out flying his plane when Big Blue called that fateful day... Greatest thrill of my computing life was when I connected together two terminals to a 6809 chip blazing away doing OS/9 at 1MHz. This setup allowed three users to run word processing and spreadsheets at PC WP5 scroll speed at the same time. OS/9 was (stil is) a great minimalist Unix clone. The OS/9 and 6809 combo was developed by a fairly closely knit group so that the uC actually contained the right microcode to do useful work for the OS. Great idea, but sadly, one never seen again in the history of PC's. The '88 instruction set is a joke, and so is the later Motorolas. (Wait: National did a decent chip set (160032 was it?) that had good instructions for a Unix like OS, but as all things go they burried it during a bout of corporate downsizing syndrome.) But then no-one studies the machine code that a OS generates any more. And hardware guys are shunned by the software geeks as inferior beings trapped in silicone. Ah to be young again! I would have travelled to Murray Hill and influenced ATT to develop Unix into something more useful.. Geriatrically yours, Paul Rasmussen ---------- > Lynn M.

As you can see from the step-by-step instructions that I posted for duplicating my error, I am viewing at most two files: home.htm and the other small .htm file. Even if both of these were duplicated, I still wouldn't run out of room. I tried removing a bunch of things and now have 300K free and I still get the problem. I removed HV for now and I will try reinstalling it or an earlier version sometime soon. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Thank you for your help.

Version 3.0 of the AHD (both standard and deluxe) has a TSR mode, but like you say, it doesn't work in System Manager. Well, actually, it's not so much that it doesn't support System Manager as that it doesn't support graphics screens. If I load the TSR before SysMan and then go to a DOS prompt (or other text mode screen), I can pop up the TSR just fine. Both versions also include the thesaurus, anagram, and wildcard features. In addition, the AHD has a nice feature called WordHunter where you type in part of the meaning of a word and it will give you a list of words you might be looking for. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 07:21:12 -0700 Reply-To: "Longden C.

If you're running DOS 6.x on both of them, you could probably get by using interlnk/intersvr (from DOS) and connecting them via a serial or parallel LapLink cable (I forget the correct name, but LapLink cables work the same way). Parallel port connection's supposed to be faster than serial. I don't think a modem-modem connection will work for you. Start interlnk on the "A" machine (which then runs as a dedicated file server) and intersvr on the "B" machine which then sees the drives on "A" and can access those files for normal DOS file operations (like copy, rename, etc). If you're running Win9x on either of them, the interlnk/intersvr solution may have problems with long filenames (as would any solution using Filer). When I had to do this once, I just started intersvr and did an xcopy to duplicate the file system onto the 2nd machine. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 00:23:23 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, jjohnson@TMCC.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Jim Johnson <jjohnson@TMCC.COM> Subject: Re: Age Comments: To: al chin <hobchi@JUNO.COM> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii OKOKOK.....how many STILL have their sliderules???

So, the LX can only run REAL-MODE compatible apps in windows. As far as I understand, there is no difference in that respect between win 2.03 and win 3.0, except that win 3.0 has more built in apps. So the answer to your question is: MS works for Win cannot run on the LX because it cannot run in REAL mode.

The website describes the IBM drive as CF-II, so I don't know how compatible that is compared to plain ol' CF. What kind of camera is yours?

Comments: To: zimm4@JUNO.COM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=ISO-8859-1 Larry Zimmerman, Don't know if you own it or have access but my most used emulator was CrossTalk MK4. Included with it was a compiled "answer" script that effectively created a mini BBS. I have an old pc at my house with one of those early hardware boards that answers calls in voice, fax, or data mode and you can punch a dtmf code to switch from one to another right after it answers the phone. Although its primary use is as an answering machine I have it set up that it will take fax's and if you press the right number after you connect it will channel the inbound call as an inbound data call. I use trusty old xtalk4 for the "bbs" component and it has proven pretty good. I do not know if it supports mulitple users but I know it supports call logging. Features like callback and multiple security level may be beyond its scope. The advantage of using xtalk on your LX would be you would also have a very powerful terminal emulator when not using it as a BBS machine. Perhaps your existing favorite emulator (procom, reflections, xtalk, whatever) may already have available for it a "BBS" SCRIPT. The advantage being you already have the executable on board and are likely familiar with many of the core features. I too considered setting up a bbs function for my LX but mainly just for one user and a single generic account for the purposes of being able to tell a friend or coworker something like...Yes, I'll be out but call my number with your pc and log into my LX as joe password zippy and you can get that file you want via xmodem even though I will be at lunch. I also have an old copy of a bbs program called tritel that I think is shareware. I'm sure I'll be makin' the dust fly to find the disk but as a class "A" packrat I'm sure I still have it. The whole program is on a 1 meg floppy and it had a pile of features but I do not remember them. Give me a yell off list if you're interested. good luck!

At first it sounds great, but then at least 2 problems were thought of. 1- The previously mentioned shock rating. I don't know about you, but the digital cameras we have take at least as much abuse as my 200lx. We recently had one dropped 30ft off our transmitter tower, which cracked the LCD. An extreme example, but even a 3-4 inch drop onto a hard surface can kill most operating hard drives. 2- Battery life. I can't speak for all cameras, but the ones we have chew up batteries. A set of 4 lithium AA's will last about 50 pictures in our cameras (with flash). Add a spinning drive instead of a flash card and it will probably cut that life in half (based on PCMCIA type II flashcards vs. type III hard drives). The AA NiMh rechargeables that came with the cameras rate at about 10-15% below lithiums. For me, 50 pictures is a minimum, with 200 being a goal. Of course, that may be because I take my photography kinda serious (I work at a TV station, what do you expect?). This is just my .02 (thats 2 'useless' pennies) and IBM may have solved all of this. --Patrick McGouirk Computer Systems Administrator 13WMAZ-TV -----Original Message----- From: Stan Peters <speters@kdsi.net> To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>; River Wolf <rivrwolf@HOM.NET> Date: Wednesday, September 09, 1998 12:28 PM Subject: Re: New MicroDrive from IBM >I have a digital camera with CF, its file structure is DOS! >Slip the card in the LX, use filer to transfer images to C:. >Then delete the images from A: and I'm ready for more. >So the IBM drive should be plug and play! >Unfortunately there is no driver to view the propietary images. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 14:08:35 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, River Wolf <rivrwolf@HOM.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: River Wolf <rivrwolf@HOM.NET> Subject: Re: New MicroDrive from IBM / digital cameras Comments: To: "Longden C.

The 600 is the one that took the fall from our tower, and since we had the accessories we stuck with Epson and bought the 700 as a replacement. The 600 still works, minus LCD so he stays teathered to a PC to take employee ID pictures. At home I personally own: Kodak DC-260 (1536x1024, uses CF, .jpg format) They are all capable of storing pictures in .jpg format on DOS-compatible media, a requirement I insisted upon when I bought them.

Write a lookup table holding the text strings with all the even hundreds, tens and ones together with the amounts written as numbers. Parse the amount by dividing it by hundreds and tens in turn, drop the remainder and use the results as a lookup key for the correct text string in the lookup table. Then, subtract the sum of the hundreds and tens from the original number, and use the result as a key for looking up the ones in the number to string table. Concatenate all your accumulated string pieces together, and you have your text string to put on your cheque! (BTW if it is allowed to write out the cheque using "$TwoFiveOhANDTwoZeroCents" the algorith could easily be made to accomodtate any size number without growing a large lookup table. As it is, you would require 38 entries for the amounts from $1 to $999.) The s/w is easily programmed in 123 macro language or in any 4. gen tool like dBase or FoxPro.

I worked for Amdahl (IBM-compatible mainframes) in the 80's, when Amdahl still made their own machines, and the whole experience made me pretty cynical toward big businesses' "marketing" techniques. (One reason I fell for Unix was it had (at that time) nothing to do with IBM.) As far as I'm concerned M$ (love that abbreviation!) is the new IBM, doing all the dirty tricks that IBM used to do, and they'll probably get away with it too. I wonder if IBM now regret their decision too? >But then no-one studies the machine code that a OS generates any more.

I remember hours reading "core" dumps of MVS (IBM OS) on huge stacks of paper, and mentally translating the machine code to 370/assembler instructions. I also fixed a lot of MVS bugs by zapping the machine code. Before 1987, you could read the MVS source code on microfiche, but now all that OS code - even on the "Personal" Computer! - is proprietary, and only the grey men know what's really in it.

BTW - this is an 8MB 2x speed 200LX. The ONLY downside to the large Simple Tech cards (and then only with the 160MB card, that I've seen) is that when you insert the card it has a delay while the cardBIOS software verifies the card. Other than that, it's extremely fast (nearly as fast as the built-in C: drive), low power, large (of course!), and has a five year warranty. If you can put up with a 2-3 second delay from the time you put the card in until you can use it, go for it. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 10:42:25 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Crombie Redd <crombie@NETSPACE.NET.AU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Crombie Redd <crombie@NETSPACE.NET.AU> Subject: Re: Unusual Palmtop Date for Donald Comments: To: collib@forensic.sa.gov.au MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Barry, How's your card BTW? Pope Gregory XIII on the advice of Christoph Clavius decides to drop the 11 days between Oct 4 and Oct 15th, and century years that are not divisible by 400 will no longer be leap years. (they were in the Julian calendar) -- Enter the Gregorian Calendar!!! It was a pretty short year 1582 in fact the shortest - 354 days. HP's calculator is based on Gregorian calendar which by definition began Friday 15th October 1582. Hence any date you try to enter before that will give an error. 360 day/year is so we can ignore leap years - great idea! Good trivial pursuit question Barry. My question - what happened to the 11 days?

But I'm curious nonetheless. :) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ------ =_NextPart_000_01BDDC4C.98D89D40 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IhEDAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEEkAYAqAEAAAEAAAAQAAAAAwAAMAIAAAAL AA8OAAAAAAIB/w8BAAAASAAAAAAAAACBKx+kvqMQGZ1uAN0BD1QCAAAAAEhQTFggTWFpbGluZyBM aXN0AFNNVFAASFBMWC1MQFVDT05OVk0uVUNPTk4uRURVAB4AAjABAAAABQAAAFNNVFAAAAAAHgAD MAEAAAAZAAAASFBMWC1MQFVDT05OVk0uVUNPTk4uRURVAAAAAAMAFQwBAAAAAwD+DwYAAAAeAAEw AQAAABQAAAAnSFBMWCBNYWlsaW5nIExpc3QnAAIBCzABAAAAHgAAAFNNVFA6SFBMWC1MQFVDT05O Vk0uVUNPTk4uRURVAAAAAwAAOQAAAAALAEA6AQAAAB4A9l8BAAAAEgAAAEhQTFggTWFpbGluZyBM aXN0AAAAAgH3XwEAAABIAAAAAAAAAIErH6S+oxAZnW4A3QEPVAIAAAAASFBMWCBNYWlsaW5nIExp c3QAU01UUABIUExYLUxAVUNPTk5WTS5VQ09OTi5FRFUAAwD9XwEAAAADAP9fAAAAAAIB9g8BAAAA BAAAAAAAAAIpTwEEgAEAPgAAAFJFOiAxMSBNaXNzaW5nIERheXMgKFdBUyBSZTogVW51c3VhbCBQ YWxtdG9wIERhdGUgZm9yIERvbmFsZCkA7BMBBYADAA4AAADOBwkACQAXACsALQADAFkBASCAAwAO AAAAzgcJAAkAFwAqAC8AAwBaAQEJgAEAIQAAAEM4RDBEQTI5MkQ0OEQyMTE4MkYxMDAxMDRCMjQx Mzc0AOYGAQOQBgD8BgAAIQAAAAsAAgABAAAACwAjAAAAAAADACYAAAAAAAsAKQAAAAAAAwAuAAAA AAADADYAAAAAAEAAOQBAnXQ2bdy9AR4AcAABAAAAPgAAAFJFOiAxMSBNaXNzaW5nIERheXMgKFdB UyBSZTogVW51c3VhbCBQYWxtdG9wIERhdGUgZm9yIERvbmFsZCkAAAACAXEAAQAAABYAAAABvdxt Nmwp2tDJSC0R0oLxABBLJBN0AAAeAB4MAQAAAAUAAABTTVRQAAAAAB4AHwwBAAAACAAAAGp0a3Jp c3QAAwAGELZMZ14DAAcQxAIAAB4ACBABAAAAZQAAAENIRUNLVEhFTUFOUEFHRUZPUkNBTElUSU5E SUNBVEVTVEhBVERJRkZFUkVOVENPVU5UUklFU0FESlVTVEVEVEhFSVJDQUxFTkRBUlNPTkRJRkZF UkVOVERBVEVTLS0tLS1PUkkAAAAAAgEJEAEAAADHAwAAwwMAABUFAABMWkZ1FVwKuQMACgByY3Bn MTI1FjIA+Atgbg4QMDMznQH3IAKkA+MCAGNoCsDgc2V0MCAHEwKDAFChEHZwcnEyEXZ9CoDZCMgg OwlvDjA1AoAKgWx1YwBQCwNjEhILxCBEQ2gFkGsgdBdgILsDggqwZxfQAhAFwGMHQLAuICBJBUAL gGQN4NxhdAeRF7AZoCAZcAEg7wSQCfAFQAWgdQIwCIEEIKBhZGp1cxmwZBei1mkYownwZBERIAIg Gjl7HMAZsS4KogqECoQLMGx4aTM2AUAWkAFAEsBvCRmwY3QSBDE2IC31IQJPBRBnC4AHQAXQB5D+ cxhBIQMeRiAUH+ELEyAWYGktMTQ0AUAfYDEcODABQAzQJKNiIEYVA2E6DINiEWBEYXZ2aRvwBhBy GFAAcAVAW2BTTVRQOhzAJuFAAEhQTFguTkVUvl0eRSXQBmACMCY3VwmAZm4HkBzAeSwGUQUwZSMG 0ASQIDA5KvAxOQQ5OCvgMDo1MyBkUE0pB1RvJjcoci0ATEBVQ09OTlaETS4ucy5FRFUpCJh1Ymog QSY3MTEF0CsEAQuAZyaxeQQgKFcCQQXwUmU6IFVuFRuwdSGxUAdAbXRvbnAmsRmwGHNEAiAHQGQ+ KSKvI7ofZAu2HlNUaD8EABlABCAbADLDGPJmIIpPIFBvK3IxNTgS8Ns3wReyeSdgBcB3F2AJcHcx AirBBCB3OqIJcARgdq0JgCweRDqAeRowbxnDQxfQMqBpeCAnGMEnBxggA2AJwGFtIHNo2m8H4GkF QDNgICtwKwn0MTcOQD8ZATnTCXAeRP5zA3AX0EFgACAdADjQHHb/GtEbETvhESE8sDqTHRE6gN0N 4Ggd0z8CG7BlQFEHEPNEoUDIcGUzcByQHQIG4H8XsD6AJvAHkUIBF7IBAGIHGaFAUgXwSVQgTEkE S0UqUElORE9XBQXwQ0kgVkVSU0WxBfBUSEUeRAHQMCiQ5j8eSipgbGwq8CABSCCbAmA8sG4gIBjx QnUFQPRJJz5wYwhxCGAEIE0A3yqQF7EckAQQGPE6NJceYu8hA1BvUX8iWSpTQElwB7CiT0jQUE9T SNBCSVDIQVJZJeBJTEoyU4C/SmBIkUjwVABTQR5ERgWxuzKgMtBiBPI/QQlwcQpQRRvAcyrwRkFR KvAm30jgBAAFQAcQEPBpO/BXwV8RMBfQJjAeVBaSdQMgSCJUJ+EvL3da8C5zTHAuFgACIG4uCYB1 mC9+bRDwK1AxLyhz+T6QdG0JUB/CWlA3NROBAgBeQAADABAQAAAAAAMAERAAAAAAAwCAEP////9A AAcw4C12E23cvQFAAAgw4C12E23cvQELAACACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAADhQAAAAAAAAMA AoAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABCFAAAAAAAAAwAFgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAUoUA ALcNAAAeACWACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAABUhQAAAQAAAAQAAAA4LjAAAwAmgAggBgAAAAAA wAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAAYUAAAAAAAALAC+ACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAOhQAAAAAAAAMAMIAI IAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABGFAAAAAAAAAwAygAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAGIUAAAAA AAAeAEGACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAA2hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgBCgAggBgAAAAAAwAAA AAAAAEYAAAAAN4UAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAB4AQ4AIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADiFAAABAAAA AQAAAAAAAAAeAD0AAQAAAAUAAABSRTogAAAAAAMADTT9NwAAfZ8= ------ =_NextPart_000_01BDDC4C.98D89D40-- -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 03:04:26 GMT Reply-To: theise@netins.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Theodore Heise <theise@NETINS.NET> Subject: Re: Age In message <0525667A.001D823C.00@www.tmcc.com>, jjohnson@TMCC.COM said: > OKOKOK.....how many STILL have their sliderules??? > Raise your hand!

It also depends on which country you are in as different countries adopted the calendar at different times. Italy, Spain and Portugal of course followed the Pope. The French waited until December 1582.

The 1852 HP200lx is solidly in the papist camp while Unix's 1752 heads up the Anglicans. Does anyone know how far back CE or PalmPilot or Psion go?

I called the vendor some time ago about this version and she said the code autodetects for XMS before determining the correct drivers to load (XMS or non-XMS), and also said the 200LX would be supported, tho not in XMS mode. Since the XMS and non-XMS drivers are separate external files, you can omit the XMS version on the 200LX to save disk space (she said). I think the only way to get XMS working would be to run something like HIMEM.SYS which isn't supported for the 200LX's processor. The upgraded RAM is just ramdisk or EMS, so XMS wouldn't work. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 09:03:26 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, hplx <hplx@COMPORTS.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: hplx <hplx@COMPORTS.COM> Subject: new games Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Check out: http://www.plbm.com/text/ ---- http://comports.com/hplx <--old stuff is new... -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 09:02:39 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Class3Dep@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Dennis Vest <Class3Dep@AOL.COM> Subject: Re: Age Comments: To: jjohnson@TMCC.COM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit jjohnson@TMCC.COM writes: > OKOKOK.....how many STILL have their sliderules???

While the new calendar was 'invented' in 1582 and adopted by Church in = Rome many other countries didn't adopt it until much later. I think the US (or was it = still the American Colonies?) didn't adopt it until the 1700s. There are some trick questions about Washington's Birthday that make use of the calendar change about then.

But then, what we had learned from Harvard's Mark I was coding before we recognized that binary (octal) representations were useful.

HP-Pygmy Forth now has the ability to write all or part of the graphics screen to a buffer, and to save the buffer to a file. The format is the same used for .icn files, only a lot larger.

But this is not the case, can't remember what the requirements were but they were over 150mA. I was looking at them when locating a modem/cable that would work with my 2160 cellphone and the 200LX.

AFAIK, Greg Ryan is still the president of EXEC-PC, a major ISP in the mid-west and still one of the best BBSs around. Don't worry about registering it. Greg continued to support the product for one full year after he started refusing payment for registrations. IMO, that's a class act. If you want or need any of the registered utilities, just let me know for I still have them. The only difference between the shareware and registered versions was you got access to the registered utilities. I believe the latest version was 8.03 so if you have an earlier version let me know. RyBBS is indeed a great program, and I would still be running it if it had the Internet compatibility that I got from PcBoard. RyBBS is so configurable you can make it look like any other BBS or online service out there. -- James Henry MCSE,MCPI | AirPower Information Services (sm) (610)259-2198 - FAX | www.airpower.com jim@AirGunHQ.com (610)259-2193 - BBS | Telnet://airpower.dyn.ml.org * 1st 2.00 #9525 * * Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math. -- (Jim Henry) AirPower Information Services BBS * 610-259-2193 The Shooter's Online Service - since 1989 http://www.airpower.com Telnet://airpower.dyn.ml.org -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 21:40:03 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, riley <riley@IGLOU.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: riley <riley@IGLOU.COM> Subject: one more request for the url for $10 pcmcia desktop reader MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII thanks mike -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 22:26:27 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Hobchi@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Al Chin <Hobchi@AOL.COM> Subject: Re: 100LX Connectivity Pack for sale Comments: To: larsomar@UCS.ORST.EDU Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 98-09-10 13:28:35 EDT, you write: > > For those looking for a 100lx connectivity pack, our local reseller shop > has two of them for $9 bucks each. > I believe most everything is included.

My answer is: I don't know, but artists with voltmeters sure can give the answer. However some power should be used, because the BIOS checks for any inserted card (reads the card information structure) and automatically configures the card, if a memory card is found. If no memory card is found, other drivers (if any are loaded) may check if the card is for them. Some modem cards allow to be powered down, after they have been put into I/O mode. For the customer it is almost impossible to find out, if a modem has this feature. And even if the feature is supported by the modem, you still don't know, how many power is saved. But I know, it feels good if you can power down a modem, that's why I implemented it into LXCIC. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 10:47:01 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Stefan Peichl <stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE> Subject: what's new in WWW/LX?

My midi device has no keyboard - it connects to a PC via the serial port. It's about the same size as the hp200lx (it's a "GMmouse"), and I wanted to write a program to play it from the hp200lx. That very program is contained in the following URL, and is described below: http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren/midi.html PS if you want to play midi files from your trusty hp200lx, you can use lxmidi (on SUPER) - a fantastic polyphonic program, but limited by the PC speaker in the hp200lx. If you have a midi device connected to the serial port, I highly recommend "gsplay" - available SimTel. It also is brilliant. kbmidi01.exe Play your midi device from your PC keyboard. In other words, if your midi device is connected to your computer's serial port, this program allows keypresses on your computer keyboard to play the midi device as you were pressing the keys on a musical keyboard.

Just got to my desk at work where I have a User Reference manual for the XJ3144 (the cellular version of the X-Jack 14.4 modems). P. 100 describes the "point enabler" program, SETMHZ.EXE that apparently came on a disk with the modem which could be used to enable the modem and it has a switch "/u" which is described as: "Disables the modem. It removes modem information from memory and turns off the power to the modem" So at least for the XJ3144, it looks like Stefan's modem power-down function may work, or possibly even by running the point enabler program. The only question is which of the umpteen XJack 14.4 models do you have?... and if you have a manual, you may want to check it. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 05:58:51 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Longden C.

You may be able to run BATTLOG to track/graph the battery level over time and alternately disable/enable the modem several times and observe the effect on the curve. I've never used BATTLOG myself, so I'm not sure of details, but it seems it may be able to tell you whether there's any benefit to using the "power down" option even if it fails to tell you the exact magnitude of the difference. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 13:09:13 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Norman Wolfe <norman.wolfe@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Norman Wolfe <norman.wolfe@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> Subject: Free form databases Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Is anyone in a position to post a comparison of the various free-form databases available for the HPLX?

I have a Tecra and it worked using Intellillink over IR. It did not work when I loaded the Win98 on it - it seemed to want to treat the IR port as a TAPI device almost, not a COM port. You do need to turn off all the MS InfraRed polling tuff to make it work - otherwise the port is not available.

I found that there are quite a number of people interested in synchronizing their 200lx with MS Outlook. After playing with several alternatives, I have a solution that works -- sort of. It is a kludge at best, but it gives me the functionality that I need. I purchased Puma's Intellisynch product -- $69.95 - http://www.pumatech.com/intellisync_hp.html I corresponded with Puma prior to purchasing their software and they were very up-front. They told me that Outlook was not supported and there were no plans to support it in the future. However, it did support Schedule+, and that is how I am getting around the problem. Intellisynch does a pretty good job of synchronizing between Schedule+ V7.X and the 200lx. It handles the calendar and to-do list (from the 200lx appointment book) and contacts (from the 200lx phone book). So, I loaded Schedule+ from my old Office 95 CD and put it in a separate directory from Office 97. What I found is that once it's installed and configured, you never have to run Schedule+. Intellisynch does everything in the background. Once you have synchronized with Schedule+, you can use the Import function of Outlook to pull the information into your Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar folders. You have to play with field-mapping a bit, both from the 200lx to Schedule+ and from Schedule+ to Outlook, but it is a one-time effort. I had previously modified my phone book to include things such as birthday and e-mail address, and I was able to get those mapped to the correct fields in Outlook. Obviously, this is not real synchronization, as I am not able to get from Outlook back to the 200lx. However, since my palmtop is my "master" information repository, that is not an issue for me at the moment. If anyone can figure out how to do this process in reverse, please let me know! NOTE: If you upgrade to Outlook 98, you will not be able to do custom mapping from Schedule+ to Outlook. That could be a real bummer if you have done any customization to your 200lx databases. According to Microsoft, this function was eliminated from Outlook 98 due to a licensing dispute with a company called DataViz, and that the next version of Outlook will have it back. If anyone needs any further details, or has come up with a better solution, please let me know!

It's true. Beginning in June, Metricom began negotiations with more than 900 municipalities in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Philadelphia, and San Diego. We've already received a warm reception from a number of government bodies, and are encouraged by the positive response. How can you help us expand quicker? If you hear that we are coming to an area near you, or perhaps an area in which you have friends and relatives or business associates, ask them to voice their support to the local city council or municipal leaders for approval of Metricom's Ricochet network. Ricochet is a great information-access solution for local governments, and may benefit their local departments such as fire, police, public works and library services. We'll keep you posted on our progress.

I chose not to upgrade (I was a registered user of Telix), but I recall it was not a lot of $$$. As I recall, there was a simple host mode and a sorta prototype BBS, but I believe the latter was called ExecHost. The last version of shareware Telix was 3.51, and it is still available on simtel. Indeed, Telix was so popular, it has its own directory on simtel. IMHO, Telix was as good as Procomm+, and it was cheaper than QModem (and certainly a lot cheaper than Procomm+ at the time; the non-commercial version of Procomm couldn't hold a candle to Telix). If you are interested in seeing the kind of support you have for it, take a look at http://www.simtel.net/simcgi-bin/dosfind.cgi?telix Clark -- Clark K.

I remember tuning it up before tests (adjust the slides for zero, adjust the tension, lubricate with talcum powder) so it would work in the heat and humidity of Louisiana (Go Tigers! Class of '72). It resided in a real leather case that hung from my belt (what a geek!). The significant lessons learned from a sliderule included the ability to estimate, to keep track of the decimal and zeros, and to appreciate significant figures and accuracy. I believe that the sliderule experience has helped me do sanity checks on calculations today and not just believe the 15 digits on the calculator display. My daughter had a hard time in math when the teacher insisted on her performing mental estimates (Is the answer 2, 35, or 500), but once she gained the skill, her future math experiences were much more pleasant. On a nostalgia note, my first calculator was a $99, five-function, 1972 Royal (with a square root button, I was king!) followed buy a succession of HP's. My computers started arriving in the early 80's. The first was a Rockwell AIM-65 (6502, 1K RAM, 20 character LED display, 20 character thermal printer, Basic, Forth, and Assembler on ROM, audio tape storage) You had to provide your own case and power supply. The next machine was a Televideo (2MHz Z80). A group of us bought surplus mother boards, rewrote the BIOS, built cases, and scrounged everything else - 5 1/4 floppys, C/PM operating system, terminals, and printers. It was a "real" computer with WordStar, SuperCalc, and dBase that served me well for quite a few years. I bought a NEC 8201 portable (very similar to the Radio Shack 100) as my first entry into the "smaller is better" world - it was great for note taking at the library! I didn't buy into the IBM PC world until clones took over and their speed exceeded the Televideo. I built quite a few from parts until I finally got lazy and entered the appliance computer world of Gateway. There was a saying "The computer you want costs $3,500." That's what I spent on my Gateway in 1995 (tricked-out P5-133). Today, you really have to try hard to spend that much on a desktop. I entered the HP LX world in the early 1990's with a second hand 95LX. It was quickly replaced with a 1 meg 100LX, and a 2 meg 200LX that has now been upgraded to doublespeed 5 meg. So far, I have no interest in moving to the HPC world (although I have kept a close watch on them). The HP200 lives in my top pocket (still a geek!) and is my indespensible personal secretary. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 23:51:27 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, al chin <hobchi@JUNO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: al chin <hobchi@JUNO.COM> Subject: Re: This is a test TEST RECEIVED Now yor one of us.

I went (or already was) retro during my last year at Ga Tech. I think I bought the very last slide rule in Atlanta - I had called every possible store, and found only one that had a single lone slide rule way up on a dusty shelf. It, too, was a Post Verilog. I learned to use it well, and in fact used it to take my ham radio Extra class license exam - they wouldn't let me use my calculator unless I cleared all memory, and I had a number of utility programs I was using for school and didn't want to erase them. During the test, one of the proctors tiptoed over to me and whispered in my ear - "Do you want me to bring you a bucket of water over to use to cool your slipstick in?" BTW, I still use the belt loop from the Post to carry my HP200LX. I sewed a steel loop into the top of the case, very similar to that on the sliderule case. I just clip it to the belt loop, and I'm good to go (at the horror of my wife, who finds this almost more distasteful than my pocket protector!). -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Keep in mind that there are four official versions on Win 95 and then there are the individual patches. The four versions are: (Win95 r1 the original - still and the ONLY one sold in stores) (Win95 r2.1 the second update only available as an OEM version) (Win95 r2.5 the current update only available as an OEM version) this one is the closest to Win 98 and is still being installed in new systems.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, After have been on the HPLX list from the start, I must say that we talk = more "shit" than ever!!! I have nothing against the "fluff" and other fun = stuff. But now it's to much!!! Very often I can see 1-2 screens of quoted = material which ends with one sentence from someone that feels they have something important to add to an already "dead" conversation. Not only that! But sometimes 25-30% of the messages I download are pure shit! Fluff here, fluff there. Come on! Is this a HP 100/200LX list or = just a list for jokes? I have always liked crazy and fun stuff. But when the HPLX list turns = into something totally useless, should we then keep it going or - not? Come on- give this list at least 70% serious stuff and 30% Fun (Fluff)- I think it's a good mix. I am far from serious about life and what to do with it! But I hate to see a good HPLX list involve in a list full of = crap!

Cirque Glidepoint Products made at one time a small touch pad for lap-tops. I hooked mine to the lx using gender changers and null modem connectors until I got it working then I cut one of the lx serial cables and cut touch pad cable. Fasting them together I made a short(about 8") cable off the pad. On the first archive of palmtop list there are several color read outs and pin read outs both for the 9 pin serial connectors and the 10 pin hplx connectors. The touch pad works great with the Glidepoint drivers. I use it on wp 5.1, ms word 5.5, fingerpaint and DC 2.1 drafting.

I got my 16mb CF (Simple Tech) + PCMCIA adapter from Buycomp about a month ago for $112 (which includes tax and shipping). They have other sizes too, but not all in stock. They're at www.buycomp.com. Also have a look ar CNET (www.shopper.com) which has a nice comparative price list for CFs and other things.

This is for that Short answer: Not easily. Long answer: The ROM BIOS of PC's receives an INT 9H from the keyboard port. The INT 9H routine then looks at port 96 (60 hex) to find out what key action took place. Each key has an associated scan code. On pressing a key, port 96 get that scan code. On releasing a key, port 96 gets that scan code plus 128. "Shift-type" keys work completely differently, but you're not interested in thes I think. You may be able to get the info you want from scanning port 96, but you may have to chain into the INT9 handler. I can expand on that a little on that if you want, but it's been quite a while for me.Ý1¨ Cheatin' answer: You may be able to get what you want by calling the ROM BIOS routine INT 16H function 11H (get enhanced keyboard status). It returns the scan code and ASCII character, and whether there was a key pending or not. So when it says no key is pending (zero flag is set), you can assume the key has been released. I'm not sure if this will work.Ý2¨ Ý1¨ From "The Peter Norton Programmer's Guide to The IBM PC", circa 1985 Ý2¨ From "Programmer's Quick Reference Series, IBM ROM BIOS", circa 1988 Ý3¨ Yes, I have a large basement filled with old computer books. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 00:40:34 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, al chin <hobchi@JUNO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: al chin <hobchi@JUNO.COM> Subject: Re: Any such thing as a serial cable "splitter" for TF200?

Square Notes has a free demo version available on their web page. http://sqn.com It allows storing information like index cards. Subjects can be assigned to each note. The notes can be sorted by subject or using a string search on all the info in all of the notes. If you buy the full version ($49?) called something like SquareNotes 4.1 you get the added features of being able to have an unlimited number of notes and to import text files into the database. Very usful for archiving emails in a searchable form. I use the full version all of the time. My hobby is genealogy and storing all those little bits of information that aren't ready to go into the genealogy database on pieces of paper does not work. Being able to do a string search on "joseph" or "Martin County" is very useful. Many times I am searching through emails sent to me by others trying to connect their family to mine. It saves me a lot of time not searching through a pile of papers asking myself "where have I seen that name before?"

First, of the two numbers posted on SUPER, it seems that the 303 number is good, and that the 202 number isn't. Has anyone successfully used this program on their palmtop? First, I tried it on my desktop. It indeed seemed to work as advertised - it establisheda connection and reportedly changed the system time. BUT the actual time didn't change - I'm blaming this on my OS, since I'm running Win95. So next I try it on my palmtop, and it hangs up right after the modem connects. Requires a complete re-boot. In fact, this behaviour reminds me of something similar that I and others have observed and reported when trying to talk to a PCMCIA modem using a programming language (like C or ASM). -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I think the messages on this list can generally fit in 4 categories: advanced, beginner, general, and off topic/fluff. This seems like a pretty good mix to me. I'm a new user to many of the features of my 200LX. I've had mine for over a year, but I've pretty much stuck with the built-in applications which are the best-in-class for the industry. I'd consider myself more of a beginner user since I haven't 'customized' my 200LX with other programs. I'm starting to do this now and I find this HPLX forum helpful but sometimes less than so. Personally I've felt that a lot of the posts to the list have been too deep and technical for my interests. That opinion is based on my interests and needs. What do I do? I breeze through these messages and delete them. I can't have evrything my way. I think that the diversity of the postings is one of its strengths. The HPLX community needs new users to keep it going. These new users will naturally ask 'beginner' questions. I think that the biggest problem is the large number of messages each day; it takes a long time to go through them. However this is an indicator that there are a lot of HPLX users out there, especially since we probably have a large number of lurkers. I hope people read take these comments with an open mind. Both the new and original HPLX users need each other.

Here is my cfg file for the program: ___________begin pctime.cfg________________ 1-303-494-4774 T 1 M Y 2 ______________end pctime.cfg________________ Note that I use it mostly with an external modem, no init string and at medium speed (1200 baud). In view of the fact that you are in the same town you should be able to just cut and copy the above cfg. There have been some dicussions on Compuserve about problems with the program - main thing seems to be to slow the comm speed down.

While most of my participation in this list has been to read postings and ask or respond to the occasional question, I agree that a great deal of the bandwidth could be reduced...not by reducing the occasional humor or "FLUFF" but by reducing the excess quotations of previous messages in replies. Look at some of the messages. How many times do we have to see tag lines or message headers repeated, or entire messages repeated when a snippet or two might do. Have you ever noticed how many messages seem to consist only of full quotations of previous messages with no apparent additions by the person who is replying? You cannot find the new stuf stuff bcause it is so well hidden, or is not there at all. Many of the members of this list talk about the value of the HPx00LX to keep things small, portable, and useful...maybe we can think of the messages we send in the same way.

The 200LX is a wonderful tool, but it has its quirks so I suppose it must be female?? <G> Anyway. To get the most of my LX, I have measured the battery consumption during various operations, and here are the data, together with tentative conclusions. Battery life assumes 750mAh Nicads. For 1300mAh NiMH types multiply by lifetimes by two. Does the LX battery drain depend on what apps I use? STATE Drain Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly --------------+-------+-------------+------------- Turned off 0.35mA 2027 85 days cont. 1st top card 25mA 30 7.5 Filer 18mA 42 10,4 Top card 70mA 11 2.7 Quirk 1. You can see that when you close all applications leaving you with just the top card, the power consumption is nearly 4 times higher than with just the filer app. open. Re-entering filer reduces consumption back to 18mA. It's not just filer that has this calming effect, most built-in apps that don't do communications achieves the same end. Why showing the Top card makes the LX power hungry I leave to the list to ponder. It has litle to do with the amount of black pixels, the contrast setting has a negligible effect. (25% variation from blank to black). How does the setting "Enable Com port in Dos" affect battery life? STATE Drain Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly --------------+-------+-------------+------------- Filer 18mA 42 10,4 DOSinFiler 28mA 27 6.7 AsAbv.W/RS232 40mA 19 4.7 This experiment revealed Quirk 2. This is actually quite nice, because it shows that unless you actually plug something into your LX, it doesn't draw much power regardless of the setting in the SETUP screen. Quirk 2. Entering a DOS session from filer doesn't increase consumption much until you plug in a RS232 cable connected to something at the other end. Only then does the consumption rise to twice that of the filer app. When you quit your communication setting, the consumption remains higher than before UNTIL YOU QUIT AND THEN REENTER FILER. Is DataCom a "high-drainer?" and how about the IR-port? STATE Drain Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly --------------+-------+-------------+------------- DataCom 25mA 30 7.5 with RS232 35mA 21 5.4 RS232 transm 79mA 9.5 2.4 With IR 20mA 38 9.4 With IR trsm 63mA 12 3 Even tho it's capable of greater speeds without data loss, the IR port uses LESS power than the RS232 port. In fact, leaving a RS232 cable plugged in results in a 50% higher idle consumption than setting the LX up for IR communication. When the two interfaces are actually transmitting data, the power peaks at almost 4 times the idle value for the serial port, and 3 times in case of the IR port. How does a Kingston ATA 40MB flash card affect battery life? STATE Drain Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly --------------+-------+-------------+------------- Turned off No difference Filer, No card 18mA 42 10,4 Filer, flash 51mA 15 3,7 Reading,flash 86mA 8.7 2.2 Writing,flash 100mA 7.5 2 Copy, flash 120mA 6.3 1.6 When you add a flash card, the consumption rises dramatically. In the case of my Kingston card, I only get a third as much computing done. The figures for other apps than filer are similar. How much time can I spend on-line with my Nokia GSM PCMCIA card? STATE Drain Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly --------------+-------+-------------+------------- Filer 18mA 42 10,4 w/Nokia card 43mA 17 4.4 w/comms 120mA 6.3 1.6 max(file trf) 140mA 5.4 1.3 The Nokia card emplys some clever circuitry to conserve power. When plugged it in it only draws as much as an idle flash memory card. When the processor inside it wakes up to do some processing however, things are a bit different! With a fresh set of batteries you get a couple of hours of real life on-line time, but with a weak set, you are limited to reading your favourite newsgroups before its nightie-night. The card draws close to 200mA when it initialises. This calls for a special strategy to prevent data loss. 1) Save all important data on a flash card or similar device before commencing. 2) Close all apps like Appt. and Phone to avoid corruption of open files. 3) Start filer. 4) Switch LX off. 5) Make sure GSM card is UNPLUGGED from Nokia phone 6) Plug in the card 7) Turn LX on. With moderately fresh batteries this works 9 out of 10 times. When it doesn't work the LX enters backup mode briefly, and you effectively get a CTRL SHIFT ON reboot. This doesn't matter much, but can be a bit boring. What if I use "Terminate all" to run comms software from DOS? STATE Drain Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly --------------+-------+-------------+------------- TerminateAll 31mA 24 6 w/RS232 78mA 9.6 2.4 w/o RS232 66mA 11 2.8 The current doesn't really start flowing until you plug in your external modem. But then it flows heavily, leaving you with a total of less than 10 hrs of up time. Note how the quirkines of the RS port keeps consumtion up even AFTER you have quit your comms app and disconnected the cable. You actually have to quit DOS and enter filer for it to come back down again. OK. So what does it all mean? ----------------------------- The actual lifetime of 750mAh Nicads are much shorter than the theoretical figures I calculated. When you exceed appx 50mA discharge rate, the actual mAh rating falls rapidly. You wil not get 45 minutes out of a 750mAh cell at 1 amp! I will return with actual battery life curves now that I know the discharge rates. Meanwhile: To maximise time on the road away from power outlets and battery stores: 1) Make it a habit to close and then open filer after having used any comms app. 2) Wait until you actually want to transmit data before plugging in a serial cable. 3) Use IR whenever possible 4) Use SRAM memory cards for max. battery life. 5) Unplug flash cards when not needed. 6) Run software from the C: drive, not from flash-cards. 7) Keep all data files on C:. Final note to CE-bashers. The LX hasn't that much of an advantage over a CE when you add comparable power hungry accessories. A HP 360LX draws 81mA when displaying the filer app, and appx 300 when reading/writing flash memory. This idle consumption equals a 200LX runing a RS232 session. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 13 Sep 1998 16:25:39 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, mikhailslists@ATTCANADA.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Mikhail Epelbaum <mikhailslists@ATTCANADA.NET> Subject: Re: Any such thing as a serial cable "splitter" for TF200?

It's the weekend; am I allowed to talk "fluff," Jorgen? ;-) And is the sliderule discussion really fluff? FWIW, I have to say I sympathize with Jorgen's concern. This is supposed to be an HPLX group, not a geek support group. But as beleaguered HPLXers, I think our periodic indulgence in general geekdom is not all bad. We probably do want to temper it, though. Still, I find the signal:noise ratio in this list extraordinarily high. Btw, there are actually a number of very good SR sites on the net. I recall one called "the sliderule home page" (actually at Ga Tech, though I just tried it and got no response :-( ) and some good stuff on some history of computing sites. Try yahoo. I recall one guy made a sliderule Java applet; that was pretty cool. Anyway, wrt Bob's comment: my father worked for many years at IBM as a mechanical engineer. I remember he bought one of the first TI LED caclulators with full log, trig, power, etc, in the early-mid 70's for about $400 (and those are pre-18% inflation dollars!). But a few years before that, he was leading one of the technical training/teaching groups in Endicott and, through much haranguing, convinced them to buy twenty or so really good, new (Versilog?) sliderules -- also at about $400 per pop. He never said that he was no longer in that group explicitly because of this (thought to be) ill-timed purchase, but he kinda implied it was not a great career advancer. I've since rummaged for one of these ill-fated sliderules many times, but have never come across one. Last year I finally bought my first, after searching my mom's house for several months to no avail for one of Dad's old slipsticks. I like to think that my idea for the utility of sliderules in modern education is independent of this story, but you never know....

Jorgen Dybdahl gave us a particularly illuminating answer. Although these aspects are not as specifically related to the Palmtop's performance as are many other questions submitted to this list, it is amazing what information comes out and it is certainly of value to me to find answers that have previously eluded me. It also emphasises the collective knowledge and brain-power of such a group. So thanks to those who threw a bit of light on the start of the new calendar. It was indeed a new beginning, though some systems do in fact take their date calculations much further back and adjust for the missing days (Linux, for example). I shall have to ask a mate here who is a Unix guru about the 'cal' program. He was quite miffed when my little 100LX beat his Unix to answer the question of which day the 29th of February 2000 was in a challenge. I suppose I should have let him warm up the Unix and get the choke back in first. I certainly did not intend to start a religious war over all this date business...though I wonder if there were as many arguments about the start of the new millennium back in 999 AD? Regarding the other part of the question; as I briefly understand it, the second option in the HP LX date calculation uses 360 days per year between dates while the third option uses 365. The last-mentioned simply omits leap years. As George Coleman noted in a personal message, the 360-day option has to do with interest calculations etc., mainly in America, I believe, where the rate is based on a 30-day month. So again, it could be of benefit to know exactly under which circumstances it is used; but I have not delved that far. Again, thanks for your contributions.

I had problems with the initial setup, but a combination of close reading of the directions, blind luck and maybe reducing the size of the .dat file worked. Try this; initialize the c drive rem out the EEMS driver, if necessary and reboot drop to DOS defrag the C drive(defragr.exe from an old PCmag archive on Simtel works well) in dos, run Makeems run chkdsk on EMM200.dat, if good replace the driver and reboot if this doesn't work, find someone smarter to help out (shouldn't be to hard) When you get it running NEVER run defrag on the C drive, or you're back to go ;¬) If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to jog my memory more.

I don't remember anything about needing brackets. You must have a working PDB file first. And the order of the fields in the CSV file has to match the order of the fields in the PDB file. I seem to remember the GDBIO command line has three parameters: the input CSV file, the input PDB (or GDB) file and the output PDB (or GDB) file that it creates. The instructions will tell you which order the parameters are in. And don't forget to include the filename extensions (.CSV, .PDB, etc) in the file names. Also, I seem to remember there is a special mode for GDBIO in which it lists the fields of the GDB file in order. Or maybe that is the DBUTIL programs that I use also.

You need to ferret out the segment and offset of the routine you want to hook into the interrupt chain. If you're using the small model of the compiler, then there is only on code segment, so in assembly you just write: mov ax,cs and you've got that part. This you would load into memory locations 0x26/0x27 for interrupt 9 I think the offset for the routine you will use can be had in C, like: routineOffs = (unsigned int *)routineName; /* somebody help me with this part!! I've forgotten :-) This you load into memory locations 0x24/0x25 To get at low memory, you declare a pointer: unsigned int far *pInterrupt; and assign to it a value: pInterrupt = 0x00000024; /* this is MIX C syntax, you may need to use MK_FP or some such Then you can do: pInterruptÝ0¨ = routineOffs; pInterruptÝ1¨ = csExtractedInAssembly; Do a read from these two locations if you want to remember what used to be there (and you DO want to remember that). After you've done your processing, the easiest way to execute the old interrupt is via assembly: lea bx,csipOldInterrupt ;get the address of the location you stored the old interrupt jmp far bx ;jmp to the location pointed to by the contents of where bx is pointing then the old interrupt routine will do the iret for you. You'll also need to clean up your stack before the jmp if you entered via a standard C call entry. So, you might want to consider getting the address to a label inside of a routine to avoid this. To do the processing, you will probably have to use the C inp() routine. rick >Please, can you tell me how to go about scanning a port in C? And how >to chain into an interupt?

I could recommend a book, where I found the specification (which I used for my LXPIC viewer), however it was only published in german. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 16:01:06 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Paal Rasmussen <paal@AH.TELIA.NO> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Paal Rasmussen <paal@AH.TELIA.NO> Subject: Re: PC modem question - AT code to power-down?

He clearly states that he likes the fluff too, but he laments the mix, which seems lately to go more to fluff, less to serious or useful stuff. I happen to agree with him, even though I have no idea if you lately posted anything of levity! I certainly do not have _you_ in mind as a source of fluff. I do not really know specific names (except one name - I have yet to read anything useful from him! And I bet another person, the wrong one will jump up and flail his hands ;-) ...) The issue is one of mix. I'll go one more step beyond where Jorgen stopped: While the mix has become more and more fluffy, the volume of postings has been growing. That is even more disturbing to me. I pay by the minute, and I _want_ to be here, and it just makes me incresingly uncomfortable that it is harder and harder to justify the expense. And once again, it is clearly not directed at you. I cannot speak for Jorgen, but I know for myself that I keep some of your posts because they are useful to me. Best regards, Avi M.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > I'll be getting the info from Andreas soon and post it. I got and posted the "new" stuff list in Post/LX 2.1a and 2.1b. See http://www.dasoft.com/WWW/newfeat.html. This includes fixes and new features. Here is Andreas' message to me: Here are the items that are new in 2.1a and 2.1b that might be of interest to the users: - Added PreOnline and PostOnline to run programs before/after online sessions (e.g. LXCIC) (ÝSystem¨ section of POST.CFG). - After all boxes were processed, in some situations an erroneous "Processing xxx..." was displayed with xxx being garbage. - Some POP3 servers provide message IDs (UIDL) which are longer than 70 characters and thus, not according to the specs. POST/LX can now handle them. - From the menu or using ALT-I, MIME quoted printable encoding can now be turned on/off (alternative: 8 bit encoding). - When replying to multipart messages, temporary files were not deleted for message parts that were not replied to. - When a message was retrieved that contained a long line of 254 characters (or an exact multiple thereof) and the last character was a full stop, downloading erroneously stopped at that point. - ForceDate=1 in the ÝSYSTEM¨ section of POST.CFG forces sending of a Date: header (needed for some servers). - Fixed bug that merged long header lines in message view - Up to now, after an online run, the highlight was positioned onto the first new message. Now, this is only done if there were no unread messages before the online run. PlaceAtSession=1 in the ÝSYSTEM¨ section of POST.CFG restores the old mode if desired. - Some mailers do not display all of a multipart message and abuse the areas they do not show for putting nonsense messages there such as "your mailer is not able to handle MIME", which of course confuses POST/LX users. POST/LX now hides those areas too, unless "show all headers" is enabled. - ALT-F3 in list and message view now replies to all, i.e. the From and all addresses in the Cc and To headers. - Return-Receipt-To: is now also considered as a header containing an email address. - Unless Confirmation=0 is found in the ÝSYSTEM¨ section of POST.CFG, a delivery confirmation is now automatically placed in the outbox when a message with a Return-Receipt-To: header is received. - When switching between inbox and outbox in message view, the position within the message was not always correct (sometimes *after* the msg). - When trying to delete all old messages on a POP3 server and there was no .OLD file, POST/LX did not behave correctly. - Optimized the order of memory allocation calls so that the likelyhood of memory fragmentation decreases and thus the likelyhood for out of memory errors decreases. - If there is a In-Reply-To header in a template, the message ID of the message being replied to is automatically filled in. Preview: 2.2 will support Japanese fonts. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 09:52:35 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "A.

You need to create TWO email folders in Post/LX. (Actually, one more, you get one as default). Another trick is to use the Freq=n parameter on the Amil folder that receives the lists email. You simply add this line to the section describing the lists email folder: Freq=1 This tells Post/LX to visit that box every 1 day (i.e. daily, this was created by a Swiss - so the english, while good, is sometimes rather er... eh.. "complex" ;-)) Freq=2 visits every other day. Post/LX will manage the up and down arrows on its own. Avi M.

Currently I do it by changing > POST.cfg file. Does anyone know how (if) this can be done in a more > elegant way? Yes. Just create ANOTHER email folder (I have 8) in Post/LX and let it go retrieve the messages in that id. To create another email folder press F2-Add, and add an email folder. Give it the second loginid with appropriate password, and specify the smtp and pop3 servers (the same as the other email folder). Then let Post/LX visit there. _DO_ give it another name than the first folder, since this determines the physical filename on disk - don't let mail from TWO folders go to the same file. Is this what you meant? I am asking this because it is possible that these two ids are mere aliases, i.e. really the same name email address, but with an alias. I.e. if I write to MEPELBAUM@xyz.isp.com or to MIKHAILSLISTS@xyz.isp.com these both go to the same logid. If this is the case, then the POP3 mailbox will contain BOTH messages, and there is no way to distinguish them at the POP3 level. If you want to separate these at the _palmtop_ level Post/LX can help you by using FILTERS. These will look at the mail headers and if they find a keyword, that email message will be routed to a specified folder. So: ÝFILTER¨ MIKHAILSLISTS=Lists Where "MIKHAILSLISTS" is the string to look for and "Lists" is the name of the folder that will contain messages from the lists. "MIKHAILSLISTS" will appear in the To: header of messages sent to you from lists. Filters are set up in SETUP.EXE, look at the menu for the FILTERS option. Hope this helps. Avi M.

I had an idea of how to solve this problem but did not have the scripting skill. I discussed it with Dave Kramer (on this list) about 2 years ago (I think). He created a program to do this using AWK, as I recall. I had originally planned to refine it and then post it but never had time to do so. I have it and if there's interest I'd be happy to make it available. Maybe someone else could pick up the baton. The basic idea was inspired by GSEARCH (on SUPER) but expanded to deal with other issues (including various types of files). You specify a search expression and the thing searches through all your files and sets up an HTML page, then calls HV with that page as the parameter. This displays the search results. Clicking on any of the files, which are hot links, calls the appropriate viewer. It may be HV (in the case of HTML files), it may be LXPIC, or it may be DBView (in the case of *DB files for the built in apps). As I said it needed some refinement but actually worked. It was somewhat slow on my 40 Meg flashcard and my original equipment 200LX, but probably works better on a 32 meg double speed model (I haven't tried it since I upgraded). - Danny Daniel Z.

Hi All, After have been on the HPLX list from the start, I must say that we talk more "shit" than ever!!! I have nothing against the "fluff" and other fun stuff. But now it's to much!!! Very often I can see 1-2 screens of quoted material which ends with one sentence from someone that feels they have something important to add to an already "dead" conversation. Not only that! But sometimes 25-30% of the messages I download are pure shit! Fluff here, fluff there. Come on! Is this a HP 100/200LX list or just a list for jokes? I have always liked crazy and fun stuff. But when the HPLX list turns into something totally useless, should we then keep it going or - not? Come on- give this list at least 70% serious stuff and 30% Fun (Fluff)- I think it's a good mix. I am far from serious about life and what to do with it! But I hate to see a good HPLX list involve in a list full of crap!

Dunno if they are still open but, TZONE has closed down and has the entire store on clearance/sale. They supposedly are moving the operation to strictly WEB/Business sales now. The Stores are no more. This is what I learned upon passing the Sunnyvale store last Friday. They are opn from 12-7pm & all software (except MS Office products) is 50% or more off. All Memory items are %50 or more off. I bought a 15MB CF card for $99.00 (reg. $199). I got a slim line Digital camera for $50, included a 2MB CF card & CF/PCMCIA adapter.Very cool. So if you want a CF card for your PC110, now may be a good time as you can get them at %50 off sticker price while the TZONE "store" is still open. They are selling the 8Mb CF card for $39.00. There are some really good deals in the store left, last I saw on Friday. Unfortunatley I saw no sign of any PC110 items execpt they have a few 16MB memory modules left for %50 off so that means you can pick up a 16MB mem upgrade for around $100 and something dollars. The Interantional area is pretty much empty now, but they had some cool stuff laying around teh rest of the store. My friend gotta parallel 1.5 Syjet for like 64$. I missed out on the last ones but the Digital Cameras,Palmtops & palm organizers are all %50 off, damn! Coulda gotta Palm III for the hell of it. They have display models left now/ And all sales are final cash or credit...

At first I thought this a manf flaw, however, there seemed so many, almost wkly. My experience is that I have had three LXs in the last two+ years. Two brand new and one used. I travel very frequently and extensively and I've never had hinge or screen problems. I sold one of my new ones to a rustabout who works on an oil rig with whom I spent three mths in asia last year. I think I've seen (experienced) rugged tolerable use of my beloved, but I've never abused her, in that I treat her as the only copy of a disertation. I have had the companionship of a wonderful woman that I valued and carried a weapon for which I was PERSONALLY responsible. That should tell it all for others that have had this experience. With the weapon that yor responsible for, it never leaves yor sight or care. It doesn't get laid in sand, sun, rain, or sat on (bent at an awkward angle). Yes, I've slept with my weapon and my LX when necessary. It's not an aside but a primary concern. Some may think this is excessive concernfor an inexpensive tool, much like other tools. but I learned decades ago the computer department, like yor heart is the center of the organization and if it goes, so goes the a/c receivables and yor payroll, etc. Yes, I religiously floss at night (even in Penang), back up, change my batts and insure my coffee is always out of spash range. I would NEVER walk away from my LX leaving it on its own, even for a second. so now I have the full use of my teeth and my LX without problems. As an aside it would be inneresting to take a survey and see if the care of those that have had problems and those that haven't is due to the care of a LX, and has and correlation to its problems.

(hope I haven't missed anyone). Your explanations and pointers have enabled me to understand the issues sufficiently well to recognise a solution. Which I have found. The comp.msdos.programmer FAQ led me to several excellent resources; and finally to a solution in the SNIPPETS collection: It creates a C interupt function and inserts it at INT 09h (storing, then restoring the previous routine). The actual function simply reads port 60h, and stores the info. It's great to have example, working code! Several times, the SNIPPETS collection (about 3 Meg of snippets of source code) has been the last place I've looked for solutions: but has provided superb code in the end. It seems to have just about everything you could imagine; in interesting, well-written code. It saves you banging your head against a brick wall while you reinvent the wheel (to mix metaphors). Highly reccommended. The above FAQ should have a pointer to the most up-to-date version.

Grepping the include files gives you more information! But the compiler itself is good! ! Yes, intdosx, intdos, int86 and some others. Though it seems to be turning out that I'll just be hooking into an interupt so won't need to call it explicitly. One other point: on my laptop, it seems that every single key up and key down (depress/release, make/break) is detected; but on the palmtop, it is limited to 3! And for some keys, only 2. I guess this is due to the non-standard keyboard, and I further guess that there is no way to get deeper access to it? Not vital, but would be nice.

I I have repeated the same results as well, but hardly couldn't believe it. However, I did not came to a final conclusion, since I also noticed that the power consumption is pulsing a lot. I used a digital meter for it, and I planned to use an analog meter for it to avarage the effects of the pulses. With a digital meter, it may be that you see something different than what actually happens, especially if the sample taken happened to be at the moment the pulse occured. >> When entering System Manager from boot, to Topcard, current = 35mA >> Open Filer & current drops to 25mA (pulsing with clock) This pulsing *could be* two things: 1) The light sleep mode occasionally interrupted by the timer interrupt (see reference manual). 2) Filer polling the infrared/serial port to see if there is another HP on the other end which wants to establish a connection. >> While Filer open, even if in background, current remains at 25mA >> Close Filer & current increases to 70mA and remains there with any >> application open This is the weird part. Might there be a bug in Filer, which kills the light sleep mode while exiting? Especially interesting, since it is the opposite of the statement in the manual, which says somewhere "to extend battery life, do not keep filer open". >> Return to DOS, current drops to 35mA (serial port power off) or >> 40mA (serial port power on) Hmm, so at exit, the system manager restores everything, including the light sleep settings?

I'd love to be able to read it using Vertical Reader. Jeff: I can get you one off-list, if you wish. Can you ftp? I used Lynx (a text-based browser available from most shell accounts) to visit one of the many sites, and then used the Lynx Print to Local File command on each section, resulting in a nicely formatted set of text files. FWIW, I found the www.starrreport.com site easiest to deal with, as they had each section in one file - other sites I visited, like CNN, had each section further broken down into arbitrarily smaller files, making the job of downloading much more difficult. Surprisingly, I haven't found a site that simply lets one download the files... I would have thought with all the concerns of generating an internet bottleneck, that it would have been more efficient to have folks download the thing and read it offline. But I guess that would have made too much sense. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Hi Darren- Actually, SysMgr doesn't limit the number of icons, it limits the number of programs that can be registered to be launched from the AppMgr screen... There are a few solutions. Go to SUPER and download HDM. Mitch has the latest version (2.4). This will let you launch up to 200 DOS (.exe .com .bat) programs from an icon screen similar to AppMgr. HDM doesn't work with .exm programs. I have almost all of my DOS executables set up in HDM, and the .exm progs in AppMgr. If you want to have more than 8 .exm progs, you'll need to use MoreEXM. This doesn't allow for icons though... There's another launcher called SMMX that is supposed to do that. Both are available from Thaddeus Computing's site http://www.thaddeus.com and MoreEXM is also on SUPER.

I treated my 95LX like you describe, and = no problem. With my 100LX I got a bit careless, and yes, the hinge cracked, I repaired it, and it cracked again for a total of 3 times. With my 200 I reaffirmed my wows, and after 1 year = no crack. The moral is pretty obvious. Serious stuff: (+ helpfull hint) It is clear that there is a minor design flaw in the hinge construction. The friction designed to keep the screen at an angle acts on a tiny x-section ABS plastic on the right. Preventive maintenance: Lube the hinge and ignore that you no longer have the luxury of screen angle adjustment. After the fact remedies: 1) Get hold of some Lego adhesive. (Lego uses it to glue together their Lego models for display purposes. They will give you some if you ask nicely. I got mine from the Danish head office.) Go to your local pharmacy and buy a 1ml syringe and a #20 canula. 2) Pry the broken surfaces appart. With the syringe, inject a minute quantity of Lego adhesive along the broken surface. Then apply a blob of glue along the front of the display where it interfaces to the hinge. Also apply glue in the crack betwwen the circular end pieces and the display casing. (These are the magic bits that make the case stronger) Make sure the blobs doesn't extend to the hinge surface, or you'll glue the case open. 3) Place the LX hinge side down (screen facing you) on a flat surface to dry, with screen open and rubber bands applying pressure. 4) Let dry 36 hours! (glue cures fast at first, but reaches maximum strength slowly.) 5) Use #200 sanding paper to smooth any glue spills on case. 6) Mail me a "Thank You!" note. <g> ---------- > Fra: Al Chin <Hobchi@AOL.COM> > Til: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU > Emne: Hinge crack and other maladies > Dato: 15. september 1998 02:31 > > Morning all; > A significant amt of postings on this subject lead > me to post this note.

I want to have more. I believe there are two limits in the Application Manager: the number of EXM programs you can install, and the total number of programs (or icons) you can have listed. I believe it's something like 8 EXM programs and 38 total programs. MoreEXM and SMMX will help you get around both of these problems, MoreEXM by allowing you to load as many EXM programs as you want, and SMMX providing a menu that looks very similar to the Application Manager. Exkey will also help, by letting you assign hotkeys to your programs. All of these programs are available on SUPER. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1998 14:59:47 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, rschwaiger@CTLNET.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Rick Schwaiger <rschwaiger@CTLNET.COM> Subject: Re: FS: Lots of Hardware Comments: To: kapjap@IX.NETCOM.COM On 09-12 10:36pm, this was sent... < I have just recently went through the garage and put together a list of < hardware that I don't need/want anymore and wanted to offer it to everyone < on the list.

I'm trying to use the ZIP.COM utility to transfer files from the PC to the Palmtop. The ZIPDUP.COM program was successful with transferring ZIP.COM to the 1000CX, but transfers between the computers do not work. Both computers display "<error>" whenever I attempt any transfer command (ie. Send, Receive, Directory commands) I know the computers are communicating, because of the "<error>" messages on both computers. I know the speeds are correct, because when I change them I then get a "communication error" message. On my PC I'm running ZIP in a DOS box under Windows95. I have also restarted my PC in DOS mode, but I get the same results. I also tried booting from a different autoexec.bat on the 1000CX to prevent loading of the LapLink program. That didn't help either. Any ideas? or... What other connectivity options do I have? Thanks, R.

My results showed normal drain until Filer had been opened and then closed, at which point it shot up to >100 ma. It could be reset by powering the palmtop down for a few seconds, terminating System Manager, or of course reopening Filer. At the time I thought it was a doublespeed problem (I was trying to track down why my recently doublespeeded unit was running batteries down too fast) My 100LX did not exhibit this high drain after a Filer close. I've since seen postings on CompuServe to the effect that this problem is a System Manager bug that affected normal speed and double speed machines alike.

Let me tell you how I look upon it, as it seems that Europeans have a bit different ideas about it than Americans. 1) A president is someone who has a job. It is an important and responsible job, but it is still a job like yours or mine. It would be ridiculous if my programming talents were judged by observing my sexual preferences and other private things, and so I feel that the president should be judged on its political talents. What he is doing in its private life should not matter at all. The question should be: "has this affair had any impact on his political decisions or talents"? 2) The whole thing is a bit hypocrit. Millions of Americans have (or had) an "improper relationship" at least once in their life. It doesn't make them less human though. If all people who have had an "improper relationsship" would get fired, the nation would have a big problem. 3) The nett effect of all this media stuff is that the Americans ridiculize themselves. Heck, the US is the country which produces 8000 porn movies a year, produces a lot of soap-series where "improper relations" are more a rule than an exception. It is the country which produces shows as Jerry Springer, which makes you feel you are a weird exception if you try to live in a "normal" way. Now the media is establishing the idea that "even the US president is doing this". And then, since it is the president, suddenly the whole nation is trying to show disgust and crying for impeachment. It all looks a bit weird (to say the least) to the more conservative countries. 4) The whole starr report occurs to me as an "improper political move". Put someone like Starr on someone's neck for a couple of years, fishing around in all kind of private things, and then come up with a juicy report. Would any of us come through as a holey man? Should this be the way how political leaders should be choosen? Are the countries with religious leaders better off? Just my two cents.

The list first went up on my machine back in September 1996 and I formed the SUPER Site not long after. I was using the old lakecumberland.com domain at the time. (I had plans of moving back to my hometown in Kentucky and starting an ISP and Lake Cumberland is the biggest attraction in that area.) As the previous message showed, Palmtop.Net was born in November 1996 and I ran the list on my server until around March of 1997. The list software that I was running got to be too much of a pain and I finally had to shut it down, but then Al Kind stepped in and gave it a new lease on life with HPLX-L.

That is, you cannot suspect the unit not falling into light sleep after closing filer, if the unit is on external power supply. Let me recall a message, I sent earlier to this list: Light sleep and Deep sleep are completely independant features of the palmtop, linked together by the Timer0 interrupt service routine. -Deep sleep- may be invoked by a software interrupt at any time and switches off VCC, CPU, DISPLAY, TIMER and HFO. -Light sleep- usually enabled by the keyboard interrupt 16h. Switchs only the CPU off until an interrupt occurs. After interrupt handling, the CPU clock is switched off again. The Timer0 interrupt links these two features together: It sets up a TimeOutCount which is decremented at every Timer0 interrupt (18.2 times per second) only if light sleep is enabled. If the TimeOutCount reaches 0, deep sleep is entered. That means, if your unit falls into deep sleep, it is very likely, that light sleep was enabled before. At the lowest level, light and deep sleep are controlled by bit0 and bit2 of the system control register (Hornet index 1Eh) You may use LXPRO to monitor the system control register and the status of the serial port. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 23:27:10 +1200 Reply-To: SPAMBLOCK.palmtop@ihug.co.nz Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Palmtop <palmtop@IHUG.CO.NZ> Subject: Re: CGA games Comments: To: hplx <hplx@COMPORTS.COM> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hplx wrote: > Just a few links.

But it seems by the power consumption measurements that the unit "thinks" it is in light sleep mode, but it isn't actually at all. Maybe something in Filer fiddles (while closing) with some IO-ports and wrecks the hardware support for light sleep. I haven't seen any program which is able to confirm that something is wrong with the light sleep mode, yet it is clearly visible that after filer opens and then closes, the power consumption raises dramatically, and the pulsing nature of the power consumption changes into a steady flow. It all looks like the light sleep feature is disabled. >At the lowest level, light and deep sleep are controlled by >bit0 and bit2 of the system control register (Hornet index 1Eh) What happens if a wrong value is written to these IO ports? Or when the whole thing gets out of sync if two writes are required and only one is performed?

Today, barely two weeks since the emails took place a priority (no less!) post package turns up in my mail box, sans AceFax disk & Manual.

Stock 200LX's normally don't allow Filer to be closed and there has always been some speculation as to why this was so.

Since I normally use VR when reading something straight through, I haven't had the opportunity to use the search and bookmarks very much. Now that I have, I noticed some odd behaviour and wondered if it was normal or not. First, I used the search command to advance through a large hunk of text to get to a place in the document, for example, "Betty Currie". When I get there, I noticed the following: I can advance page at a time *past* the location, but I cannot page back *before* the location - when I try, I end up at the page from whence I started the search! I next tried to drop a bookmark at the location that the search found, then went to the start of the document, then advanced to the bookmark. Then I noticed that something was really messed up - the display at the bottom said I was on page 4, yet the percentage display was on 45% (this was a 400+ page document). When I advanced to the bookmark, I kept getting an error message saying that the page mark was not correct, and I would need to re-scan and set the bookmark again. Has anyone else observed this, and if so, did you come up with a workaround, or even an explanation? -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

The normal conditions are that you have to register (and pay) for the two year extension to the normal warranty within 90days of buying the unit. HP are now saying that you can register any unit up to a year old and the three year warranty is valid from the date of registration! This gives a next day unit replacement for your faulty unit. In the UK the cost of three years cover is 42pound (plus VAT). It's only sold via resellers (try Matkins & Son on 0181-690-9888).

Well, I disagree here. The whole thing which leads to the "obstruction of justice" and other "lies" is a result of this shameless interest in Clinton's private matters. I guess I would do the same if some audience started to ask me about my sexual behavior etc. This doesn't mean that I'm a liar in my profession. My private life and my professional life are two separate things. I think it is justified to hold back information if someone (other than my wife) inquires about my sexual habits. This is exactly what happened. >The sexual content in the Starr report >was just proving: >a) Clinton is a perjurer (felony) Sorry, don't know the word "perjurer". >b) Clinton abuses his power (high crime) Why?

For cryin' out loud, > he was speaking with WORLD LEADERS when Monica was servicing him!!! So what? Sometimes I'm eating while speaking with a customer, or (if it is really boring) reading e-mail at the same time, or, if the discussion is lengty I might visit the bathroom in between (without letting the other end notice). etc. And as far as I know, Clinton didn't call out while having sex, but someone called in. Yep, this may happen, and it could also have happenend when having sex with his own wife. Would this also have been a reason for impeachment? Maybe the next president should first be inquired about his sex-life, and preferably be someone very old, or very religious, or impotent. Saves a lot of trouble. Or install a camera connected to the internet, so we all can follow what is going on, and we don't need anymore someone like Starr to find out, and take potential ground for "lies" away.

The issue is not whether or not he is personally disgusting but the fact that he is accused of: PERJURY and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE which are crimes, and impeachable offenses as well. Nixon was forced to resign on merely the latter of the two. Perjury is a despicable crime and IF he committed perjury, why should he not be prosecuted? Any other American who lied under oath would be subject to prosecution and even Bill Clinton is not above the law.

American and Americans have looked ridiculous to foreigners for years. The American press is so controlled that most Americans are ignorant of this. It's sad that the filth has reached our countries highest office. Mr. Star is not on a personal vendetta, he is doing the absolute minimum as required by law. The sex scandal is just a cover up for the real crimes of high treason, drug dealing, extortion, murder etc. As with history, the judgment of God will soon come upon this nation. Sorry for the off topic fluff but I like many American's just could let this slide by.

I think Dan is trying to point out the irony of this quote in this case, that it sounds applicable on himself. In any case, it is always expected that, once a person decide to become a public figure, it is to be expected that the world holds some expectations on one's personal conduct. In this case, a nation leader, and also dubbed as a world leader, there is a greater expectation, especially morally. Clinton has went thru a great deal to discredit the allegations made of his "improper relation" with some of the ladies during his presidential term, which turns out to be true, as he himself admitted. It sheds light on his ability to face the consequences after he chose to act in an improper manner. My following statement may be stretching a little, but "Doesn't it give doubt to his ability to lead the nation?" Of course, undeniably, he has done a fairly reasonale job during his term (this is just an opinion). That is probably why the polls show that the Americans do not so much negativity towards this matter. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 12:26:03 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Ted Heise <theise@NETINS.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Ted Heise <theise@NETINS.NET> Subject: Re: Knots and the LX Comments: To: "Longden C.

Actually, the HTML based combo of text and graphics isn't bad in regards to an on-line knot reference on the LX. Too bad the site above has image formats not supported by HV and are in so many pieces. But it's a start...thanks. I'll have to dig into more knot websites. A portable reference like this would be handy. I'm always at a loss for a special knot on certain occasions and each of them is like an algorithm or a subroutine with a defined structure and purpose (Object Oriented Knots?)...guess that makes a knotter of those a KOOK <g>. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 13:52:37 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Tom LaRoche <tom_laroche@HP.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Tom LaRoche <tom_laroche@HP.COM> Subject: Re: A great Quote: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > And as far as I know, Clinton didn't call out while having > sex, but someone called in.

Filer is never really closed as long as the System Manager is active. (To verify this, try to close Filer, then open the App Manager and look at the name under the Filer icon. The name will be highlighted, indicating that it is still an open application. Press ÝF8¨ to switch to List view, and you will see that Filer is not "Closed" but rather "Asleep", and still occupying 58K of active RAM.) According to the FAQ, this is so that if you run out of disk space while using an application, Filer is always available to let you move or delete files until you have room to save your work. Since Filer never actually closes, we can assume that the act of "closing it" merely exits the Filer screen and turns the comm port power off. Perhaps in some instances the sense of the Filer being open/closed becomes toggled, so that "closing" Filer turns the comm port *on* while "opening" the Filer turns the comm port *off*. A few people on this list have reported that their 200LXs suddenly became power-hungry, and that by removing and re-installing the main and backup batteries (after backing up all data elsewhere, of course!) they were able to restore their palmtops' frugal ways.

If an over-voltage is detected this device triggers, shorting the output and protecting the rest of the computer. The fuse then blows, and frequently the supply is destroyed and the device itself goes short. I discovered this the hard way. The back of my computer had a switch on the back selecting 230 (standard European voltage) or 115 volt supply, and in dusting I set the switch into the 115 position! The resulting bang destroyed three fuses and the mains supply. The supply module wasn't repairable, but using a replacement everything worked perfectly Cheers -- David Wadsworth | Tonto....

Simply use LXPIC to view the appropriate file. If you set up the FILER.INI file for LXPIC, you can just select the file from the Filer. Cheers. J. P.

This document has been created to help everybody understand a little bit more about the HPLX-L Mailing List, and the 200LX in general. ========================== Q. Does anybody know where I can get the new ROM upgrade for my 620LX stylus? A. This list is for the HP DOS palmtops: the 95LX, 100LX, and 200LX. By mentioning a Windows CE machine, you have cursed yourself for all time. We DOS palmtop users don't mess around when it comes to this. Oh, you'll get a few conventional flames, all right. But most of us won't stoop to such levels. Instead, we'll go to work in more subtle, but far more terrifying, ways. Expect to find yourself subscribed to every free e-mail service in the world. Also, we will plant a secret virus in your 620LX which will cause your batteries to wear out after only a few hours instead of the 150+ hours that all the OTHER 620LX users are getting. Finally, if we can find out where you live, we will come to your home, sneak in, replace your backlight with a high-powered argon laser, and hide so we can watch the look on your face when you flip it on in the morning and it scorches your head. Q: Wow. A. Yes. Q: What about my Psion and my PalmPilot? Can I get support for THOSE here? A. (Shaking head) You just don't learn, do you. Helga! Get the dogs! Q. Whoa, whoa, never mind, I get the point. I'll confine my questions to DOS palmtops. A. Good. Q. Can I sync up my 200LX with Outlook 98? A. Yes, with a bunch of complicated steps. Some of our talented programmers (or at least one of them) are working on a better solution. Why you would want to is beyond me, though. Q. Outlook is a quality product from the finest software company in the world! A. Helga! Where are those dogs? Q. Okay, okay, sorry. Is it permissable to send jokes and other non-palmtop-related material to the list? A. Absolutely! The only little detail is that you must also include your home address at the bottom, so that we can all send you cute little thank-you cards. Q. (suspiciously) My home address? I don't like the sound of that. A. Just kidding. Actually, many of us quite enjoy reading "fluff," as it's called. It makes the list more human, less cold and impersonal. But on the other hand, it is a technical list, after all. So don't go overboard. And in fact, any fluff will earn you a few enemies. If you're the type of person who can't stand up to a good solid flame-war, then I'd probably avoid it. All of this applies only to good, high-quality, funny posts. Forwarding hoaxes like the "Good Times" virus warning to the list will result in your instant death. As will big debates about the President of the United States. Q. Is the 200LX year-2000 compliant? A. No. It does not even recognize that there IS a year 2000. After December 31, 1999, the 200LX will cease to function altogether. The serial port will short out, the screen will crack, the keys will break off, and the Hornet CPU will overheat, melting the entire palmtop into a heap of molten plastic and silicon which could severely injure you, your children, or any pets you might have. Your house may burn down, and the fumes from the melted plastic may affect the health of your entire neighborhood for generations. Your only hope is to send me your palmtop RIGHT NOW and I'll properly dispose of it for you. Q. What about the year 2000 being a leap year? A. It handles that fine. Q. I've heard of a "speed upgrade." What is that? A. The "speed upgrade" involves expensive modification to your motherboard. However, as is so often the case, the big companies are ripping us off by charging huge prices for something you can do free, by yourself. The real secret of that expensive "double-speed crystal" is not that it "oscillates faster" or any of that technical mumbo-jumbo. In fact, the crystal is merely a tiny pump which shoots a dose of caffeine into your Hornet every now and then. The double-speed crystal just pumps twice as much caffeine in. That's all there is to it. Now that you know the secret, you can duplicate it by dunking your 200LX into a cup of Mountain Dew or Jolt Cola every now and then. The caffeine will soak into the CPU and your speed will jump. In fact, many users report that the 200LX runs so much faster, they can't even see the display anymore! It's so fast the characters just flicker by before you can even tell. Q. I've noticed a poster named Lynn Cavendish... A. He's male. Q. Ah. Thanks. You saved me some embarrassment there. A. Glad to help. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 14:13:50 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Bill Childers <childers@GARLIC.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bill Childers <childers@GARLIC.COM> Subject: Even more: Re: Semi-Fluff: The HPLX-L Mailing List FAQ Comments: To: David Sargeant <david@HPLX.NET> In-Reply-To: <199809162059.NAA72156@garlic.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII ROTFLMAO!!!!

That's all there is to it. Actually, inside that double speed crystal is a miniaturized version of the supercharger that's on my new Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Open it up! That explains the "buzz" some palmtops make after 2x upgrade... the supercharger vanes need some break-in time. <g> Bill -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 16:47:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, zimm4@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Larry Zimmerman <zimm4@JUNO.COM> Subject: Palmtop Packeteers?

I just purchased from Jeff Peterson, a fellow list member, a Color CCD camera with the name brand of NoteWorthy. It appears that th camera was actually manufactured by Sony. The camera also includes a PCMCIA card that is labeled Video Conferencing Capture CardBus Card and includes a cable which connects between the phono jack on the camera and the pc card. You can run a cable directly to a TV or VCR to see a picture. My question is: Can I use this CCD camera for actual video conferencing? What type of card would I need in my desktop machine?

You will need an interface card for your desktop that will accept Video In to get the video into your computer. There are many programs that can use this input to allow videoconferencing. Another option would be to get a PCMCIA interface for your desktop. It might be less expensive and would probably be more versatile to go this route. Check www.necx.com under the surplus section. I got an adapter, without any manual, for $10 plus $4 shipping. Have not installed it, but others say it is recognized by Win95 immediately upon booting up.

He specifically said the camera came with a CardBus PCMCIA card. I don't know a whole lot about the concept but these are 32 bit PCMCIA cards and more than likely won't work in a generic old fashioned PCMCIA controller that's surplus. I do know that CardBus PC slots can operate in a 16bit compatibility mode and you can use the old PCMCIA cards in them. A CardBus controller for the desktop must be available but I don't have pointers. - paul -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 22:27:23 -1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Bob Graham <bgraham@ALOHA.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bob Graham <bgraham@ALOHA.NET> Subject: Re: Knots and the LX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" The program is ipex.

Here is how I did it. 1.) copy APPMGR.DAT APPMGR.BAK (backup) 2.) start Datacomm (or what you like) and transfer APPMGR.DAT to your desktop. (I do this because I'm using Xtree Gold and it's too big to carry around on my palmtop. Xtree has a HEX editor built-in. You could use Debug, but I'm not that good.) 3.) Using a HEX editor (Xtree) find the first letter of the application you want to remove in the APPMGR.DAT file. (first letter includes & if used as a hot-key "tag") 4.) Count back, using the first letter as Zero, ten(10) characters. (remember, the & counts as a character if it's used to underline (hot key) the first letter of the application title.)

Starting with the 10th character ( -10 from the first char of the application ) Overtype (replace, not delete) the next 115 chars with 00 HEX (zeros). WARNING: The APPMGR.DAT file _must_ remain the same length! ANOTHER NOTE: You won't have to put zeros in all 115 characters, it looks like only the applications that have notes use the last part of the "slot". 6.) Save the new (edited) APPMGR.DAT file. 7.) Transfer the new APPMGR.DAT file to your palmtop. (put the new file in the c:\_DAT directory) 8.) Re-boot the palmtop. (a re-boot causes the Desktop to re-read the APPMGR.DAT file.) 9.) Open the Desktop (MORE key, you know :) 10.) Look at the location that should have had the application you targeted, it should now have no title and a random icon. 11.) Move the selector box to this "weird" icon and press the delete (DEL) key. 12.) Blink a few times in relief. :) If you could follow my instructions (more likely problems in my typing style) you should now be able to remove any icon / application from the desktop. Please remember to do a backup of the APPMGR.DAT file, and it wouldn't hurt to back-up the entire palmtop as well. end of quote Etienne Lemaire 37 H.Boulengerlaan B-3080 TERVUREN stelem@ibm.net 32.(0)2.7681931 ---------- > From: River Wolf <rivrwolf@HOM.NET> > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu > Subject: Deleting App Manager programs > Date: mercredi 16 septembre 1998 22:13 > > Does anyone know how to delete built-in programs in App Manager?

Here are some suggestions. 1) Check that the "ZIPDUP" was really successful, might be a corrupted file. Or, try lowering the baud rate. Some of my initial tries (with other comm packages) would require abysmally low baud rates to "work". 2) Transfer LapLink to the PC. Try CTTY & a binary copy. I used the 200lx terminal program to transfer the programs and that has worked better than the filer from the connectivity pack (which I obtained later). 3) There are some small DOS Kermit programs that support a remote install.

I wouldn't be surprised if just about any character in the ascii 0-255 range is legal, although obviously a lot of them can't be typed, for example, in resonse to a prompt or on a command line.

I tried this as a part of my testing procedure, with no effect - current drain after exiting (File, exit) Filer was still high. I have corresponded with several people who have measured this same problem, and to my knowledge no one has said that they have hooked up an ammeter and not seen the high current drain. Mack Baggette recently posted on Compuserve that this is bios "bug" that affects regular speed and doublespeed units alike, where light sleep is disabled after exiting or quitting Filer. > Perhaps in some instances the sense of the Filer being open/closed = becomes > toggled, so that "closing" Filer turns the comm port *on* while "opening= " > the Filer turns the comm port *off*. It's possible, but the current drain measured was about 100ma, which seems high for a comm port. Does anyone know what the serial port drain is? Actually, I finally attributed my poor battery life to be a combination of the increased drain from the double speed upgrade, new software that had me using a flash card a little more, and a couple of poor battery type choices that did not handle the increased drain very well. Since then I've been able to lead a pretty normal life, with no more weekends spent with wires, batteries, and meters attached to the outside of my palmtop, and I'm a much happier person!

Then you use a terminal program on another machine to open a file and copy into it, as if the "CTTY"ed machine had typed "COPY CON FILE". So 1) set up com port, 2) ctty to com port, 3) go to othe machine, fire up terminal program, and 4) flail about until you figure out how to transfer a file. Your idea about me transfering the files to you is much better in the short haul. Attached are my 200LX laplink (not connectivity pack) files. One configuration file was edited to reflect server status. One batch file has also been mod- ified. Check file sizes and dates to ensure compatability with your copy. I would think they will be the same.

Also, is it a solution to periodically toggle Lite Sleep via a utility like LXPRO or LXSTAT, or would this result in unknowingly toggling Lite Sleep off? Finally, are we certain that 200LXs are exhibiting this power drain right from the factory? (And if so, which ROM BIOS version?)

First a few words about what the "high drain" is - it's the increase in current draw from around 20mA to around 80mA on a 2meg 200LX that occurs when Filer is not running and there has been a high drain situation since last time Filer was started. If you just exit filer (any method) and run Memo, (or any other 200lx app) the current consumption remains low. You can quit filer any way you want, from the menu in Filer itself, or from the APP mgr. screen or by removing it from memory with the Closefiler app without the LX drawing more current. If you quit filer as your last application however, so that your lx is displaying the top card, the power drain goes to "high". The high drain occurs 1) when you close all built in apps and display the top card or 2) shell out to DOS or 3) Quit all apps and run dos 4) Use an app that initializes the sderial or IR ports and draws power The serial port on its own draws appx. 12-15mA. The quirk is that the LX hardware ruitines allows power to increase, but doesn't reduce it again. And for all worriers - this is of theoretical interest only as it is easily counteracted by reopening Filer once in a while. I just completed a battery drain test on a pair of Duracells, and at constant 100mA discharge they lasted over 23 hours! So even at "high drain" any reputable battery will give good service. When the unit is switched off the drain is very low, no matter how the sleep modes are configured. BTW: This phenomenon occurs "right out of the box" and on early 100lx's as well as on my 94 200lx. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 12:15:01 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Steve Novosad <Novosad@SERVER030.FWB.SAIC.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Steve Novosad <Novosad@SERVER030.FWB.SAIC.COM> Subject: Re: keybez ru Re: FLUFF: DOS .nnn Question (math/filenames) Comments: cc: mikhailslists@ATTCANADA.NET Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 15:46:56 +0000 > From: Mikhail Epelbaum <mikhailslists@ATTCANADA.NET> > Subject: keybez ru > > This question is to those familiar with KEYBEZ keyboard layout program. > It is in ROM on HP200LX, and allows to use languages other than > English.

Ug-lee.. :-) What looks like a better hinge design is actually worse than the 200lx! I don't understand why HP can't get hinges right. Rather than pivot the entire screen from one side, they use the whole length between hinge corners. Only, there's no support anywhere in the middle!

I don't believe the 700lx draws any power from the docked phone, so it'd be useless. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 15:45:41 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, stan_dobrowski@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Stanley Dobrowski <stan_dobrowski@CSI.COM> Subject: Re: Anyone used GDBIO?

Most of them mention something about > brackets missing in line xx. What does your CSV file look like? It should look like: "Field1","Field2","Field3" or Field1,Field2,Field3 as long as there are no commas inside any field's data. I really don't know why GDBIO would be complaining about "brackets", because it is quotes and commas that are important. What do you get if you run GDBIO with only the filename of your PDB file on the command line and the /S option? This should show the structure of the PDB file. For an example of how the export CVS looks, just run GDBIO with only the name of the PDB file on the command line. Perhaps you are trying to import the wrong kind of data into the fields of your PDB file. For example, maybe you are trying to stuff text data into a number field. Look at the structure report from GDBIO to ge the order of the fields so that you can make sure the PDB and CSV files are aligned.

It only works with GSM phones because of the datacard inside. A datacard and modem while performing the same thing as far as sending and receiving data, are completely different in they way they do it. The other 21xx series like the 2160 for example it just a dual mode amps/damps phone. It has to be in analog mode and use a cell modem to work.

The 200LX will talk to the PN60i in 3 ways: 1) Parallel port using something like a Transdigital card 2) Serial port using adapters and the optional cable or with a custom cable like the one Shier Systems sells. 3) IrDA using the drivers on the SUPER Site.

It is misleading and deceptive, and contrary to the principle of truth in subject lines, when the posts themselves turn out to be on age and politics and jokes and - not about fluff at all. But this post is different. It *is* about fluff. The mass of cables behind my computer setup gathers an amazing amount of fluff. There is more, even within a day of cleaning it all out. After a week, the amount is truly extraordinary. It's a wooden floor, so the fluff is especially visible. (I'd say "polished wooden floor", but it's not <g>.) My theory is that (a) there is more fluff around than you could possibly imagine. (b) the fluff is insubstantial, so it moves with the breeze and random drafts and wafts -- until it meets a mass of computer cables, where it gets stuck. If this post does spark an extensive flurry of replies, at least they really will be about "FLUFF". *sigh* Brendan "at least I don't quote extensively" Macmillan -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 20:59:49 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Claud G.

Colin, I am interested in your experiences with Scancat GOld. I have V6.0 and I just swapped for an AR7030 receiver with RS-232 I/O. I hope that SC Gold will let me load the memories in the radio, I hate to do that by hand. FOR PHILIP KHOO: Pick up a copy of Monitoring Times or Popular Communications.

Any help will be appreciated .................. I recently purchased a ThinkPad 600 to replace my old ThinkPad 500. The 600 is a great machine and gradually I'm getting setup to do all of the thing I need. One thing I'm having problems with is PCMCIA cards. I have a HP200LX Palmtop with a 10 Mb PCMCIA Flashdisk on which I have installed STACKER. One use of the Flaskdisk is for backing up all of my data to the ThinkPad 500. I remove the PCMCIA card from the HP200LX; insert it in the ThinkPad 500 PC card slot; go to D: and execute STACKER; then execute a BAT file that is on the PCMCIA card that copies backup data from the card to the ThinkPad 500. This works very well. However I have been unable to get this going on the new ThinkPad 600. On the 600 the PCMCIA card in drive F: or G:. With the PCMCIA card in place I can read the unSTACKED files from a DOS window. When I try to execute STACKER I get the message that STACKER can not be loaded under Windows, and exit Windows, load STACKER.EXE and re-enter Windows. I have tried restarting in MS-DOS mode but when I do I can't recognize drive F: or G:. Now what do I do to get this going?

(Not sure if it was one of those package deals or not..) It got stolen a few years back and he has downgraded to the WinCE series. Anyway, he was playing with my 200LX and noticed I used DOSShell and it reminded him, and he told me he had osmething better and went digging through disks, and came up with his Software Carousel disk. Since he no longer plans on owning a 200, he gave the disk to me, but couldn't find the docs. Al mailed me the manual and even an original disk of S.C. (version 4.x) priority mail so I had some documentation for it! Great guy! -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . . Walter Francis _.

This condition does appear in "stock" 200LX's. I'm afraid were mixing 2 different "problems" together. 1. High current drain when Filer is sleeping. This does not generally have a big impact on battery life because in the course of normal palmtop use it gets reset after a short period of time, by either the HP being turned off, or it powering down on it's own due to inactivity. People keeping Filer open all the time are not impacted at all. 2 Reduced battery life. This can be brought on by hardware or software changes or problems. Short battery life has led many of us to attach current meters to our palmtops to attempt to isolate the cause, and we have discovered the Filer - power usage "bug" while doing these tests, but this bug is probably not the cause of our problem. So I agree with what Paal said about the Filer current phenomenon being theoretical. But we might be able to put the knowledge to good use by developing habits that avoid it, thus improving battery life just a little. I now practice good Filer habits, get 30+ hours out of a set of alkalines (or 12-15 hrs per charge on NiMH's) on my 32 meg single speed HP and couldn't be happier.

Here in Las Vegas, it's very low. The same fluff seems to gather quite rapidly on MY cables too, but even more so inside my computer, and worst of all inside its power supply. When I worked as a technician, I once opened up a US Department of Energy computer that hadn't been opened since it was purchased five years before. There was literallly a solid half-inch coating along everything of blue-grey fluff. I nearly suffocated myself blowing it out with compressed air. A fellow technician commented that when he lived in St. Louis, where the humidity is high, there was virtually no fluff buildup. He said he had his computer for years there and it never accumulated much dust, whereas here in Las Vegas it was overrun in a matter of months. So, thinking that humidity was the key, I purchased a humidifier to keep the level of dust down in my room. And did it work? Well, a few days after I bought it, I became violently ill with the worst respiratory infection I've ever had, and, suspecting some sort of airborn pathogen from the humidifier, I turned it off and never got a chance to find out, really. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 09:31:33 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Jeff Peterson <kapjap@IX.NETCOM.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Jeff Peterson <kapjap@IX.NETCOM.COM> Subject: Re: 1000CX Connectivity Problem In-Reply-To: <003901bde273$45341700$a35653ce@preinstalledcom> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Try: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/contents/AdminTools/W95OldDosUtil /default.asp?custarea=pers&site=family&openmenu=&highlighteditem= Jeff > I got the programs from a friend.

Generally I travel with and AR8000 scanner and a Lowe HF150. Scancat is great for reloading the AR8000 with new regional freqs while you are on the road. I prefer the double speed 200LX and DOS version of Scancat to my laptop and the Windoze version. The LX is obviously the choice for travel. I should probably call Jim for the DOS upgrade so I can use it with the 7030. So far all the Windoze version has been good for is loading the memories in my AR5000.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, I am interested in the capabilities of the built-in solver in the LX and want to go beyond the manuals examples. I am in my 2nd semester (of 12) at Auckland AIT doing National Diploma of Business Computing, and I find my LX is simply the cats whiskers! I take notes on it, draft reports, do essays on it, 123 is great for accounting and other uses, solver/calc is great for hex/binary/decimal math and the best thing about it is the form factor - it is always with me, and makes no noise to disturb lecturers and students. Does anybody have a site/reference/idea/tutorial/faq on solver or on math that could/can be written into solver or any other nice math programs that can run on the LX they could point me to?

I have a 5mb (Stacked to 10mb) card that I use in my 200Lx. I wanted to use it on my Libretto, as well, and found that I could see the `real' files just fine under Win95, but couldn't get stacker loaded to see the `logical' files. I can boot my Libretto in DOS, however, and then the stacked card works just fine. Obviously this isn't an ideal solution, but it is adequate for my purposes.

Fluff is attracted by the electric fields around conductors. The less humid the environment, the smaller fluff particles get, and the more easily they charge and stick together on the conductor. Humidity makes the particles clump together in the air and thus makes them more difficult to charge. In fact a "dry" climate indoors is often due to a high particle concentrationin the air. The minute particles have an enormous surface area/mass ratio and absorb humidity. An electrostatic air purifier actually increase humidity in such environments! So the moral is (I think) clear. Insted of us LX'ers poisining ourselves with biological pathogens from our fluff(y) humidifiers, we should instead trap our fluff in a cleansing apparatus! This will increase the comfort levels of our homes as an added bonus. Unfortunately this line of reasoning has litle relevance to the Clinton/Lewinsky affair, but I post it none the less, as a parable of the sometimes cleaning effect of cencorship. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1998 16:13:37 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, wally@POP.UKY.EDU Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Walter Francis <wally@POP.UKY.EDU> Subject: R6001 null error from LXBatch Hey everyone, I'm trying to fix a small bug that's been bugging me.

The following text is from the help for MS VC++ 1.52: An error-checking routine (_nullcheck) is automatically invoked after your program has terminated to determine whether the contents of the NULL segment have changed. If they have, the routine displays the following error message: run-time error R6001 - null pointer assignment This error does not cause your program to terminate. The error message is displayed following normal termination of the program. The NULL segment is a location in low memory that is normally not used. If the contents of the NULL segment change during program execution, it means the program has written to this area, usually by an inadvertent assignment through a null pointer. The null-pointer error message reflects a potentially serious program error. Although the program may appear to operate correctly, it is likely to cause problems and may fail to run in a different operating environment. The _nullcheck library routine works only for near pointers and is therefore not useful for the compact, large, and huge memory models. Its source code (CHKSUM.ASM) is included as part of the startup code that is provided with the compiler. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1998 18:01:23 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, David Ness <DNess@HOME.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Ness <DNess@HOME.COM> Subject: Re: EduCALC lives!!

Experimented machine was 100LX SG350 ver1.04A w/o memory connector on the motherboard. Memory allocation was 0.5+32+0+0MB, so it doesn't required any disk drivers. Just 32.5M-640kB as c: drive. I used my designed memory board which is electrically same as T2T's 32MB board, I guess. To modify requires high soldering skill but if someone want to upgrade or retest yourself please ask me.

I have my 64MB ATA for over 1 year without problem. Of course, it will be slower because of the disk searching time required. Bigger MB needs more (I guess). However, DOS5's maximum disk size is 64MB (Actually, it is 60MB-61MB). All you can do is to use FDISK to partition it. For example, 80MB can be partitioned into 2 x 40MB. Moreover, longer searching time means you need to consume more battery power than before.

Checked with Marcan, and their sales rep wrote back that he wouldn't recommend anything over 40 (or 80 at the most) because of sluggish performance from the really large cards when used on the 200LX. These are Simple Technology cards. Do any of you who have the big capacity cards have any problems with slow performance? I thought I'd read posts to the list that the ST cards had pretty decent read and write times... BTW - this is an 8MB 2x speed 200LX.

Yes I am interested in email list / links to resources if its not too troublesome for those who offered. My situation is I've just purchased a shortwave radio Sangean AT404 that allows me digital tuning unlike my previous Philips manual model. What I was looking for is a simple database software (if it already available) that I can refer to and sort say News broadcast from different countries at a particular time, then I can manually key in the frequency to listen to it. The LX100 & the AT 404 is with me most of the time hence my question. I guess the alternative is to get on the web and print out shortwave guides from some of the sites and manually read off and manually key in the frequency. Btw what does Scancat Gold do (understand it works on the LX100), where can one download a copy for evaluation ?

I have noticed previous to this thread that sometimes my 8M doublespeed 200LX seemed 'jumpy' or just plain slow.. Then later I noticed that if I held a key down, it sped up to normal speed; lite sleep was enabled. *MOST* of the time this isn't the case! I noticed last night that it definately had lite sleep mode enabled in a large databse I was tinkering with, but upon entering Filter (it was asleep) and then exiting, lite sleep mode was very oviously no longer enabled. The database sped right along. I'm thinking with the other posters, it's not that Filer is written better, rather it's asleep/exit code is poorly written, and that it messes up lite sleep mode upon disapearing. Personally, I'd rather leave lite sleep off.. :) It's so much faster, and I tend to hold a key down when it's in lite sleep mode to compensate anyway. :) -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . .

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Mike, I encounter no problem transferring data files to and from a Mac. I simply use Datacomm on the 200LX, Zterm 1.0.1 on the Mac (though I imagine just about any comm application will do) and the standard LX cable mated to a Mac modem/printer cable. (NOTE: Depending on the modem/null-modem sense of the Mac cable, you may need to insert a null-modem adapter into the hookup.) I believe HP also makes a Mac version of the LX serial cable -- ask your dealer. If you want to *use* LX data files on the Mac, you can open and edit just about any Lotus 1-2-3, Memo and other word processor file with just about any Mac word processor or spreadsheet application. I expect the same applies to Database, Phone Book, Appointments, Note Taker and World Time with most Mac database applications. MacLinkPlus by DataViz (highly recommended) will convert LX files to almost any Mac format you want, but does not give you specific LX formats to convert back to (other than .WK1, .DOC, .TXT etc.) There used to be an LX-specific version of MacLinkPlus (complete with the serial cable) but DataViz stopped officially supporting it this year (A CLEAR CASE OF ABANDONWARE, HINT! HINT!) Newtons are dead (and too bad, Apple had finally gotten them right). Pilots are generally less compatible with Macs than PC-type machines are. You're better off with a 200LX, but if you must try a different pocket companion to your Mac, maybe you should look at a Psion Series 5, 3c or 3a. They seem to be quite popular with the Mac users. B. ---------------------------------- Thanks for reading this. I'm needing some advice on linking the 200lx with Macs. How hard is it? What do I need? Would I be better off with a Pilot or Newton for this? If so, does anyone have one they'd like to sell or trade?

One of the suggestions was to put the motherboard of the 200lx in the 100lx case, since I was having difficulty removing just the screen. ***Steller idea*** I am on vacation this week, so I got froggy and attempted the repair. I have the 'bottom' half of the 200lx connected to the 'top' half of the 100lx. Cool color scheme now. (doubtful that with this group I am the only one..) Works perfectly.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hello All, especially Mac lovers, There have been several questions lately on connecting the 200LX to Macintosh. Mike Joseph asked for advice on Saturday, 19 September 1998 and David Lawrence replied next day with:- > I have used MacLink Plus, but it is not essential. You can use a > terminal package to transfer files to and fro. I'd like to expand a little and give MacLink a plug (and you will need a special plug, too!). I am not particularly technically-minded on such matters but, as my wife's acquisition of a Mac Performa 450 beat me to getting our first real computer (apart perhaps from my Tandy Pocket PC6 -- all 8K of it, upgraded to a whopping 16K), the Mac was my only means of backup for my then new 100LX. Apart from an occasional need to reboot after transferring data, the marriage of the two via MacLink Plus was and remains a breeze. Anyone can do it and although I now have a PC for backing up, I continue to also use the Mac for important documents on the basis that two different systems are safer than one (my canny Scottish background coming out again). It has paid off, too. Provided you don't mind going off to make a cuppa while you wait, the Mac's backup facility via MacLink is simple to use and it also keeps a log of operations. Moreover, I have found that some aspects of the 100LX's formatting are preserved by the MacLink process, unlike the situation when connecting to a PC. There is also the option to transfer files in various modes (such as comma-separated values) or simply in binary and translate later on the Mac. You can get round some inconsistencies in translation with a bit of thought. For instance, I use the degree symbol a lot in technical reports. This is marked in green above the letter X (Fn + X) on my particular 100LX unit. It gets translated into another symbol in Word 5.1 on the boss's Mac. However you can use the Find/Replace facility on the Mac side to replace all instances of the other symbol by the proper degree mark. The same can be done in reverse on the Palmtop. In fact, I keep a special summary note in NOTETAKER of the symbol conversions for quick reference. Sometimes the Macintosh simply translates a particular 100LX character with the standard square box, representing a general "unknown" character. Hence you cannot immediately determine which actual Mac character is being represented and so you cannot enter that character in the dialog box for finding and replacing. In this case you have to highlight the box symbol in the text on the Mac and copy and paste it into the dialog box and then use the find key facility to paste in the required replacement symbol in the other part of the dialog box. You can replace all instances of such symbols at once. You quickly get used to this technique and it can be used in both directions. Remember that you need a special cable for connecting to the Macintosh (end of plug). Cheers!

I have a 4Mb card stacked to 8Mb and a 48Mb card stacked to 98Mb, both of which I also use on my Laptop, this having the usual two flash card slots. The speed at which data is transferred using flash card catches your breath and you can transfer from card to card. It is thus important for me to have both slots configured to handle these cards stacked. Just to add to the complexity, I have both Windows 3.11 and Windows 95 on my laptop with dual booting on C: and D:, so Stacker had to be installed on both. On Monday, 21 September 1998 David Lawrence, replying to David, said:- > You need to have your stacker drivers in the config.sys so they load > into memory before 95 starts. Copy them into the 95 config.sys from > the config.dos file & restart. As far as I remember, Stacker virtually installs itself and makes the necessary alterations to the config.sys files -- but my main purpose is not to contradict my old mentor, David Lawrence, but rather to draw attention to a potential problem. I did have a slight problem and remember someone else writing in a while ago in the same situation. After installing Stacker, I found that the top slot in my laptop would read the stacked portion of either flash card (as it was supposed to) in Windows 3.11, whereas the bottom slot would only read the unstacked portion. In Windows 95 it was the other way round. When all else fails, read the instructions. After all, that's what they are there for, to tell you where you went wrong! Eventually it dawned on me with my limited knowledge of DOS what the instructions had been trying to tell me all along. I am now speaking from memory as the instructions are elsewhere at the moment (and that's another characteristic of instructions). It seems that Stacker will only configure one flash card slot automatically and presumably having done so in Windows 3.11 it moved in my case to the next slot (or logical drive) when subsequently installing itself in Windows 95. That would logically explain the switch in reading the compressed portion of my disks, yes? So, armed with the instructions, plus the information already in the config.sys files for configuring one of the drives or slots, I worked out what had to be added via a text editor in Windows 3.11 and in 95 to get the stacked portion read in the other drive in each case. The last line in my Windows 3.11 C:\CONFIG.SYS now reads:- DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM /P=0 E: F: On Windows 95 it is the same except on the D: drive with D substituted for C. Obviously if you don't have your D: drive reserved for something else (as I do for Windows 95), you will probably have to substitute D & E for E & F, respectively, or make some other adjustment and then reboot. I hope this works for you. Snappy stacking, Barry Collins I hope that does the trick. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 23:19:06 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Vivek Venugopalan <vivek@MCS.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Vivek Venugopalan <vivek@MCS.NET> Subject: DOCHTML Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello I am the author of DOCHTML who was not in town when the discussion about links happened I caught Avi's last reply when I came back.

I can tell you the following. You could probably print in Russian using a printer which supports the Russian DOS code page (character set). I have no idea what it is. I can print Hebrew documents from the HP using my printer at home which supports Hebrwe. If you want to convert the text file to windows you have to use a program which will translate from the DOS code page to the Windows ISO character set for Russian. This brings me to another point. I use DO2RTF to convert memo documnets to rtf for use on my desktop. "It would be nice" if the program had a rtanslation table which could be user modified to convert between DOS code pages and ISO character sets... ======================= David & Irit Becher davidb@netmedia.net.il ======================= -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 09:59:54 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, David Becher <davidb@NETMEDIA.NET.IL> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Becher <davidb@NETMEDIA.NET.IL> Subject: lxtools - dos port Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone on the list successfully used the dos version of lxtools to copy large files under Win95.

I know of several problems related to my DOS port of lxtools, and planned to get over it this summer, but due to a sum of circumstances I had to cancel all my projects. As far as I reached when I investigated the problem, there seem to be some strange responses from the 200LX that the comm library I used don't seem to handle very well.

I ended up with F-Secure SSH for Windows from DataFellows and it has been very good, but it was expensive for a terminal program. The guy who does the Topgun series of Pilot software (Ian Goldberg, I think) did a beta of a SSH client for the Pilot, but it took a bunch of supporting libraries, was slow and kind of buggy.

Sounds like a great programming project As an aside, there's an excellent 32-bit ssh client called SecureCRT. Check it out at http://www.vandyke.com. It does ssh, telnet, and dialup, has scripting, keyboard customization and macros, fg/bg colors, rz/sz, printing, and makes espresso. It's all I use at home and work. Due to the heavy math involved, writing an ssh client for 8-bit DOS without a math coprocessor would be pretty hard. I'm sure it could only be done in assembler. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 01:02:04 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, PALMTOPS@AIRGUNHQ.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Resent-From: PALMTOPS@airgunhq.com Comments: Originally-From: jim.henry@airgunhq.com (Jim Henry) From: PALMTOPS@AIRGUNHQ.COM Organization: AirPower Information Services (610) 259-2193 Subject: ballistics In-Reply-To: <36065592.30D@nedcomm.nm.org> HM>For anyone involved in advanced shooting sports, handloading or anyone >studing ballistics there is an excellent program for ballistic >coefficients drop tables and other studies of projectiles.

Here = are my results: - I set the output voltage to 10V (minimum is 9.6V according to the = manual).

I=27ve hardly noticed any screen-fad= ing since using this module. Conclusions The excessive voltage from a 12V supply was causing excessive heat in the = unit - maybe this was also due to ripple on the supply lines as suggested = by Frans. As a bonus, I included a bridge rectifier in the input circuitry, which = protects against damage caused by reversing the supply lines (the input = supply voltage must however be over 13V for a 10V output as the rectifier = / LM 317 drop about 3V). A single diode would do the same with 0.7V less = voltage drop than the bridge (but I=27m getting enough from the supply = so....) I=27ve also tried the unit in my car and this has proved OK - maybe an = idea for those of you who expressed concern about connecting the (relativel= y) unregulated supply in a car to the LX ( it would also be easy to = incorporate a fuse to protect against current suges but I=27m not that = paranoid :) ).

(relatively) unregulated supply in a car to the LX ( it would also be easy to incorporate a fuse to protect against current suges but I'm not that paranoid :) ). Well, you *have to* take some measures here. Since HP decided to connect the power connector "the other way around", i.e. the plus on the outer ring, there is a potential dangerous situation if you don't have the HP connected. If the cord is drifting around in the car, it is easy for the outer ring of the connector to touch some (grounded) metal in the car. A car battery can easily deliver 100's of Amps... Get the picture? For this purpose I made a cable myself, where I have put a small 10 ohms resistor in series with the plus. It avoids serious sparks, and acts as a fuse if the cable touches some ground. It limits the currents to 1 Amp, which is sufficient for the HP, but not enough to cause any fireworks.

I don't like setting things set group/user id to root so I used uucp which I believe is somewhat standard for the lock directory. You can test your setup by using the built-in HP terminal program and a terminal program on linux like kermit, seyon, or minicom. Connect the PC and HP using the HP serial cable (which is a NULL modem cable so you don't need any more adapters). Run the HP program, set your port to COM1:, and check your speed/parity/stop bits settings. Then run the linux terminal program, set your port to the appropriate device (/dev/ttyS?, /dev/cua?, etc.), and make sure your speed/parity/stop bits settings are exactly the same as the HP. Then try typing some characters on either machine. If you see what you typed on the other machine, your serial connection is ok. I found that if I used the terminal program on the HP, then tried to use the filer transfer with lxtools, I get a similar error message to what you're getting. A simple Ctrl-Alt-Del on the HP fixes that, though I'm sure there's a better way to clear the COM1: port. Please contact me if there are any further questions via INTERNET mail at jsv@bms.com.

I have FW3 on the LX too and bought a copy of FW4 from another list member several weeks ago, but due to a change in jobs I haven't had time to make much of a comparison...haven't reinstalled it on a PC since the change. I haven't tried FW5 at all, so I have no comments on that one, nor do I know of a French dictionary for FW. FW4 looks like it adds support for bit-mapped fonts and has a print-preview feature, but I don't have a feel yet for how well those features work. The Import/Export feature adds support for MS Word and Wordperfect, but failed to recognize the MS Word version 6 document I gave it. They added a nice papertape calculator tool, but as to other differences, that'll have to wait till I get a PC on my desk again! - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 10:00:04 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Raymond, Timothy CPT--PAO" <RAYMONDT@HOOD-EMH3.ARMY.MIL> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "Raymond, Timothy CPT--PAO" <RAYMONDT@HOOD-EMH3.ARMY.MIL> Subject: repost: Modem Current Draw Hi All, Still trying to figure out how all the smart guys on the list figured out their modem current draw.

Maybe it'll turn up yet in some nook or cranny. As you know, I have essentially the same camera (Konica Q-Mini) which I'd bought (with some aggravation) from E-bay, the online auction. You may want to give that a shot if you start getting desperate: http:\\www.ebay.com If you're relatively sure of where you "left" it and it's gone, then it's a theft, whereas if you don't recall where you left it, it's "lost". The distinction may be important in getting your new camera as most homeowner's insurance policies in the US covers theft of property (even away from home) but not if you just can't remember where you left it (since it may still be there). If you report it as a theft, remember to also file a police report and get a case number for the insurance company, that way the new "proud owner" (who probably owns a Nikon 900 anyway <g>) has the opportunity to return it. All this comes courtesy of my own "much worse" experience of losing my LX 2 years ago. Good luck. The bright side is that better cameras may now be available for same price. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 17:39:24 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Paal Rasmussen <paal@AH.TELIA.NO> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Paal Rasmussen <paal@AH.TELIA.NO> Subject: SV: lxtools - dos port Comments: To: speters@kdsi.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I can second that.

Coil" at Sep 23, 98 05:05:18 pm Content-Type: text How about this: I have done some work using CTTY and a terminal. For fixed installations (like an office) terminals can be had for real cheap (less than $20 typically). But this limits you to text-mode programs, and not all programs recognize the CTTY redirection. Perhaps a compromise would be a keyboard driver that is like a 1/2 CTTY. It only re-directs the keyboard input from local keyboard to the COM1 port. This way, a terminal or computer/terminal-emulator combination could be used as the keyboard, and the 200LX would still be the display. Also, perhaps the keyboard itself could be re-programmed to act as a 1/2 terminal, simply spewing forth ASCII characters as they are typed. I noticed mention of a driver on SUPER that did this to a point, but I believe that it actually runs a program on your PC, thus *requiring* a computer. Presumably I couldn't run this with a real terminal. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Cameron" <cameronc@IX.NETCOM.COM> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit PC keyboards require an external power source that the LX can't supply. Also, although the keyboard delivers a basically serial signal, it delivers scan codes that are different than the RS-232 the LX expects. A black box could be made, but it would have to supply power and have a microprocessor to convert the signal. Newton keyboards have seen used on the web for $60, and the driver needed for the LX is free (Pilot owners have to pay $40 to get a driver). I tried one a while back and it was quite nice, good touch and keystroke travel. About three or 4 times the volume of the LX. It draws power from the LX. An interesting idea is to get an RS-232 terminal (as connected to mainframes) and use the LX tty output.Then you have a keyboard and a screen if you use the apporpriate software. This was discussed extensively a fwe months back. Look in the archive. Claud G. Cameron wrote: > I would like to get comments about any external keyboards available for use > with the HP's.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, (and All!) Here's a curly question, my appt.adb is around 60-80kb and using it means a 4-6 second pause while it writes data, but recently, for just a tantalizing while, it got faster! I mean sub-second! Writing a note, or extending a note in an appointment and then pressing F10 would see an hour glass take up residence for an age, but last week, (I have had my std 200LX for 2 1/2 years) each time I pressed F10, it was only taking .5-.9 seconds to write. Then, as a thief in the night, it stole away... Now, I am back to 4-6 seconds. I have no tsr's exept a font, and remming that, or booting from the d: drive does not affect either fast or slow state. I have tried pulling all batteries, (after backing up in 3 discrete places!) and then copying all the files back after restarting, I have tried optimizing with speedisk (norton) and I have tried clearing the max space (up to 500k free on c:) all to no avail. So where does/did this speed hit come from? I have a lot of repeating appts (School timetable) but these only go to Dec 98 and the speed increase last week was with all these still in the file...

I cannot verify the amount of memory used when FW IV is running but will do some more research, - I seem to remember that FW IV did require more RAM. Main reasons I upgraded from FW III were print preview (OK - not brilliant), better access/updating dBase III files directly and ability to use Bitstream fonts with Laser printer. Summary of differences from FW III: - Left, centre & right aligned tabs - Proportional printing - 15 font groups per printer - Page preview - Enhanced access to dBase files, including update - Much improved graphs with facility to use scalable bitstream fonts - still limited in appearance but the ability to overlay one graph on another is still something I can't achieve in Windoze! - Import/export CGM graphics files - limited use as scaling is slow/difficult and printing CGM images is excruciatingly slow (unusably slow). - Enhanced mailmerge including computed fields etc Files on my LX200 total about 2.8Mb plus 800K of Font files. This could be decreased by about 600K by deleting fontset/print preview and setup files. I have not loaded the help files as they are quite large. The English spell checker & thesaurus take up about 750K but I find that the spell checker is better than that is MS Word 7.0. I no longer have FW III but if I did I think I would probably use that to save size since the files for fonts would not take up space, but I do like the ability to update dBase files from within FW IV. There is a palmtop LX200 version of FW V available, but I've seen now reviews/comments about FW V (or FW VI) so am unlikely to upgrade without some form of evaluation.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="Text" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Warning - electrical engineering theory follows.... This is a plea for a bit of clarity when we all talk about current measurements, since we might have measured different things: 1 - battery current 2 - a/c adaptor current, or 3 - PCMCIA card current. The first is pretty easy to measure if you are good with alligator clips, needing just some way to interrupt one of the battery connections to insert the milliammeter. Likewise the second just needs the adaptor wire to be cut (!). The third is more difficult since you need a PCMCIA extender card. Why does it matter? Well the first (3V battery current) is important when investigating battery life and the effects of Filer on lite sleep etc. The second will be completely different because you're putting in about 12V at x milliamps which is internally converted to 5V at y milliamps. And probably to some other voltages for the LCD... (Yes, the 3V battery at z milliamps is also converted to 5V at y milliamps) The third is important when considering if a PCMCIA modem will operate, because the internal converter can only deliver about 150mA to the PCMCIA socket (at 5V). Now it is possible to approximate the relationship between y and z. In an ideal world (100% efficiency) the 3V battery would have to deliver 250mA to become 5V at the PCMCIA delivering 150mA. But assume the efficiency of the converter is about 80% (it might well be less), and you'll find that the 3V battery has to deliver 312.5mA OK, enuff theory, sorry for the interruption to the normal flow of fluff. BTW, I never measured any of the currents on my hp200 (single speed, 2M) but a set of alkalines lasts me 2 to 3 months at my daily usage (never with modem on batteries, usually with a/c adaptor when using serial port to connect to desktop PC).

If it is just a single diode, you are actually feeding your LX half of the time, switching this on and off 50 times / second (in the US: 60 times / second). Seems like charging a battery will take longer then. If it however is a full bridge rectifier, it solves that problem, but actually this is bad design practice. I usually charge my LX from my 100Amp 12V source, which also feeds my shortwave transmitter and is therefor grounded (the min lead of course). Also, I connect my Palmtop to my desktop computer, which is also grounded via the mains plug. The result: the ground of the serial connector of the LX is grounded (via the desktop PC) and the power input is grounded via the huge 12V power supply. The rectifier diode is somewhere in between, and shorted out via the ground path. Depending on the design, the whole circuit in the LX (behind the internal regulated power supply) will receive 0.7 volts extra than it was designed for. :-( I expect to be not the only one who is feeding the LX with a grounded supply, and having the serial connector connected to a grounded desktop machine. It is worth figuring out how the circuit works and whether problems can be expected.

You will find that in no instance is the cathode of the proposed diode (to be attached to the input of the regulator feeding the palmtop) ever exposed to a ground connection. The palmtop is the load for the diode/regulator "leg" of your power system. Unless you have some unusual configuration using a positive ground (some real old tube based equipment or what have you) the ground connections are all at the same potential and there should be no DC current loops. The cable between your PC and the palmtop is not a current path for DC power, remember unless one of your "grounds" is isolated from chassis ground they will all be the same potential. However it might be a path for induced current from your radio equipment, and to that end I would suggest a ferrite bead on the signal lines in that serial cable.

If so, there is a program out there that will let you use the desktop kbd while desktop is connected to palmtop. Don't have the name, sorry. Re price of Newton: Look at it this way: the kbds are about $80 each, and cable is about $10. There is some work involved in redoing the cables. I hate to remind you, but I think it is fair to assume that Shier should make some profit, so there you have the price. Without going into details, I can tell you that Shier's profit in this is very small. Without profit, his business has no motivation or reason to remain open, as any other business.

Charlie, if you're out there or if someone has a 200 lx connectivity pack with all the stuff either email me back or call this week on (404)305-6861.

Hello all, Thanks for the many replys for my 700LX questions. But whether the OGO700LX is factory double-speed just remains open, as you said yes/no 50% percent... "certainly feels faster Ýthan 200lx¨" There is a new USENET group called comp.sys.wearables, I think. HPLX certainly qualifies. There is already external chording kbd. and 2,5mm phonejack implant, so all you needed is external video. What's inside the PCMCIA VGA-out module for the 620/660LX? Is it a real PCMCIA card or a simple A/D converter? Have anyone tried to access such a thing in a 200LX? Or possibly hack the flat data wires to LCD for stealing the video signals for use with displays built in some glasses. Stephan Peichl told me that 200LX can do 120Hz vertical refresh rate; that's enough for fake-3D with special glasses that screen off one and the other eye every time. (What a 3D CGA world looks like, well I don't have any idea.) For Digital cameras: there is a common chip, used in Agfa, Canon Toshiba cameras (but not the Apples 8-( ). For that chip, there is a plain DOS utility that does simple download via RS-232 and saves in JPG format. For Casio QV10/100 proprietary file format, LxPic has internal converter.

Last simple question (just curious, how about it overseas): How many of yours know of such places and visits the so called Computer Junkyards: places where really obsolete things, like XTs, terminals, daisy-printers are for sale - if you can dig it from below piles of other junk. Nice things surface sometimes. Sincerely: Tamas Feher. P.s.: If anyone could help me with AS/400 hardware expertise, then please contact me. I was given an AS/400 (free), eg. 9406 w/ 5 x 9336 (two big grey cabinets) and need help reviving it. More specs and photos of this config. in 10th floor flat upon request. I can't get official IBM support, obviously. I need help with error locating and hard drive diagnosing, plus drive controller testing. May have 1-2 dead 9336 HDDs.

The drive will probably retail around $200 and the disks should come in at less than $10 each. That means for the price of 1 40M ATA flash card you could easily have 10 times as much storage with the clik drive, and thats if you can find a 40M flash card for $300. I really like my zip drives as secondary storage for my notebook computers and I think the clik drive would work equally as well for smaller systems. Pete Peter W.

The sparq drive costs more than the zip drive B. The sparq disks are more fragile than zip disks C. The cost isn't that different when I get zip disks for $5 each D.

An etext is basically just a pure ascii text file. It's nothing fancy. I guess you could theorectically scan a book then use OCR software, but my experiences with OCR software hasn't been a pleasant one. One thing you should be aware of is the fact that most books would be covered by some type of copyright law.

Compaq's PCMCIA drivers for the Contura series can be disabled or removed based on what you do and don't want to support. For instance, a modem could work but a flash card won't. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers. I seem to remember that the Contura's original drivers wouldn't recognize any flashdisk, but have added support since. Also, is the flash card standard DOS formatted with no compression? My Contura won't work with any of my flashcards if they're compressed.

It all depends on the amount of information you need to move really. If I'm only moving small amounts of data and/or want to give the disks to people, then I use zip. If I'm achiving or moving large amounts of data, I use the sparq. As bad as many think zip is, it was the first to gain large market acceptance so it will probably be around for a long time. Anyone remember the VHS/Beta wars? Quantity over Quality. My personal preference is for neither. I prefer my CD-RW. Drive cost is high, but $0.75/650mb can't be touched, plus more people have CD-ROM drives than zips and sparqs combined. Now, as for your arguments... >-----Original Message----- >From: Peter W.

The sparq drive costs more than the zip drive Yes, the zip drive is cheaper. This is the point most people seem to get stuck on, which to me is unfortunate. No company makes very much on the drive. Profit is on the accessories. For example, a drive that costs $10 is not much of a bargain if the media costs $10 and only stores 10mb ($1000/Gb). >B. The sparq disks are more fragile than zip disks This is the one I'll really argue. I can't count the number of zip disks we've thrown away because they just break for no reason. Ever hear of "Click of Death"? Even Iomega says not to use zips for long-term storage. One of my sparq drives is the primary hard disk for a pc (for multiple OS) and hasn't quit for 6 months now, nor have I lost a disk despite repeated drops. >C. The cost isn't that different when I get zip disks for $5 each Yes, per disk zips are cheaper. But even at $5/disk, 1 gig of zip costs $50 vs. 1 gig of sparq at $30. >D. The zip drive is not "slow like a floppy", granted not as fast as > sparq, or jaz, or MO, or ... OK, this I agree on. --Patrick McGouirk Computer Systems Administrator 13WMAZ P.S. I am not disgusted by any zip disk users. I do think Iomega makes very poor products, but this is merely an opinion, not a fact. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 07:04:42 PDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, David Cripps <david_cripps@HOTMAIL.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Cripps <david_cripps@HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: Database with Short wave radio frequencies Content-Type: text/plain Hi, Following a recent request for a database with some short wave transmissions, I used this as a learning curve to get into database design and usage in the HP.

Just don't even try to send one anywhere, they don't hold up real well in transit. The sparq disks are fine as long as they are handled with a certain amount of care. As someone pointed out they are more like a hard disk and this applies to fragility as well. As far as zip disk failures I have over 100 disks, 4 drives and a dozen systems I use them on and have yet to have a SINGLE failure. This is the old case of the problems being heard and the sucesses never being heard. All the people that have had problems complain loudly and it seems like the whole lot is bad but if that was really the case the zip drive wouldn't be the great seller it is. The issue of VHS versis Beta was not in quality of the hardware or reliablity it was a subjective image quality issue and most users couldn't see enough difference to justify the smaller capacity of Beta so VHS won. The same thing is happening with zip, while there may be problems they are obviously not to great that the average user is going to dump all their zip drives in favor of something else. > P.S. I am not disgusted by any zip disk users.

I might add I must not be in a minority either since zip drive sales seem to be doing quite well. Another point, the technology behind the sparq and the iomega jaz, is not new. It has been around for years in one form or another and while it has survived it has never gotten very big sales wise, there must be a reason don't you think? Pete PS.

Apparently I was having a string of bad luck for a couple of days and it wasn't solely due to his program. Part of it was a loose phone cord connection in my modem's X-Jack connector. After using the program for a couple of weeks, I'd like to go on record by saying that Goin' Postal is an excellent communication program. I'm running it on my 1x spd, 2 meg 200LX like a charm. It does have a lot of features for its very small size. I guess that I'd grown used to the numerous features of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer over the years, but this is due to their HUGE program sizes. I uninstalled MS Explorer 4.0 after a short time because the full installation took up about 100 meg (I think) on my 1 gig hard drive! I would accept the trade off of a larger program for some additional features like multiple mailboxes, folders, etc., but I acknowledge and understand Steve's goal of having the program run on 1 meg machines. The decision that I'll need to make is if I want to manage HTML messages on my 200LX and thus purchase WWW/LX. I currently miss receiving some of my regular emails that are only available in this format. Steve, thanks for an excellent program and a month long trial period with the full features of Goin' Postal. Rick P.S. I wish WWW/LX would permit a more reasonable trial arrangement.

You won't see the coloured backgrounds, ivy borders, or "outside" fonts. Rather, all this stuff will be nicely encaplulated, to be dealt with, somehow. You will have a fairly smooth way to handle intramessage URLs, for separate processing. For my needs (and everyone's needs are different...), all HTML management is done with {DEL} key.

The Square Note v4.1 allows some basic formatting for printouts and is more portable in that there is a feature that allows transferring to a floppy and then importing the new information back into your main database when you return to your main computer. Smaller subsets can be esily carried on the palmtop when I need to free up memory. I my case, I am usually only researching one branch of the family at any given time. Since much of the info is waiting for my to classify it properly by subject I am sure I have some duplicate records. However, since this doesn't keep me from being able to find what I am looking for I am in no hurry to tidy up. Unfortunately, I don't remember if either feature is included in the free demo. I upgraded within a couple of weeks because it seemed the full version would suit my needs very well. Sorry for the tardy response.

It advertises a stick on plastic magnifier for fixing on to maps, telephone directories. They sent me a free sample which I use to magnify the screen. I find it particularly useful for magnifying the text in Info Select windows. I was really looking for something that I could attach to the grey plastic border around the screen and leave it there. You can't do that with this. You have to hold it about 6 -12" away from the screen. I asked if they had a more powerful one with dimensions to fit the LX and they said they would be developing a more powerful version for PC's and would let me know when they had something. Know PDA's like the great LX are tough to read if your eye power has deteriorated with age. Off topic I know, but please don't tell me the obvious thing is to use spectacles. I'm resisting! Read one theory that spectacles causes the eyes to deteriorate further as they relax to accomodate the "crutch" provided by the lens. I've come across a method called the Bates method which teaches eye exercises to boost reading power. I have a video on it but not the book. Will try it so we'll see!

If you have a simple data file with only simple relations between data elements, then it is hard to be *more efficient* than simple ASCII. Whether you need it or not, the `database' form of your data is probably capable of handling very complex structures with reasonable efficiency. You are paying for this overhead and unless your use of the data demands it, it may not be worth the price. What are you trying to do that can't be done with your simple ASCII structure?

I wish it were that easy, but I've found that the current or voltage drop (or delay) when going through an ammeter causes the palmtop to go into "backup mode" when a high current device such as a pcmcia modem or 5 volt flash card is accessed. I've been able to measure current on the palmtop itself under most conditions. Maybe someone out there has found an ammeter that works a little better for this, or has found a better solution?

Memo fields can be variable length. Each of your records is about 647 characters. So your conversion utility probably found that the sum of the longest instance. of the A field plus the longest B field is 647. But your average ascii record is 10 bytes. So you have almost 11 meg of spaces. *.dbf files are excellent candidates for Diet or other compression methods. But it sounds like some error in the conversion process.

This will enlarge the file quite a lot as each record can have plenty of wasted space. On top of this you get a number of indices. 1.2Mb does not sound unusual if some of the records have wide fields. The Alpha -> dBase conversion size: My best guess is that the Alpha database has generated some complex indices so dBase have to make unusually many indices on some of the wide-field fields to be able to perform the same functionality. Try ASCII to dBase instead with the IMPORT command or simply delete the dBase indices (see below.) What to do? 1) Check the record layout. If you have few records with very wide fields, you can cut the wide fields or rearrance the records. If the fields are widely varying, you should consider a free form database. You can use dBase without indices or with only a few indices. The DBF file is enough. And you can always make one or more indices later. 2) You should consider whether you need a datbase language at all. ASCII storage is very compact. - For searches, LIST used on the ASCII file might be fine. - For labels, I print labels from the ASCII file using one of my C programs, AWK or Perl. - For reports: again C, AWK and Perl. I have for example a program which takes an ASCII database and splits the data up in groups of subtotals and totals. Good database? Don't know. I would write it in C.

While discussing the intriguing issue of date calculations with a desktop guru at work it in the light of past messages to this List (eg the mystery of Donald), my workmate posed an interesting question. I have modified it slightly to see how you would tackle the conundrum. My workmate had been challenged on an entry in his official time-sheet, made towards the end of last year. Such problems are not uncommon in our laboratory here in South Australia and I shall digress slightly to say that my Palmtop used to a bit of a joke here until a colleague asked me to perform a date calculation that had eluded her on her network terminal when she was back-checking her time-sheet. She was mightily impressed with the ease at which I appeared back at her desk and gave her the answer and even more impressed when I demonstrated the method on my trusty 100LX. Now, back to the story:- My first workmate had tried to determine the day of the week for the time-sheet date entry that he had been asked to check. He had simply been given a note saying: "Please check 11/12/97"; so he had used his computer to key in the period in question and then he ran a particular calendar program and hence got the day of the week. He was again told that his answer was incorrect. On checking things on the computer once more, he worked out a different day of the week this time for that questioned day in 1997, and this agreed with the official answer. The strange thing is that when he went back over his original calculation to work out his mistake, he could find nothing wrong with the computer program, and when he showed it to me, I was forced to agree that the program was fine. However, when in desperation he eventually found and looked up a printed 1997 calendar for that date to settle the conundrum, lo and behold it was the same as the official answer! Now, how do you explain that? Take your time; and while you are at it, what was the day of the week that my friend first came up with? That might be a real challenge for some of you, but my other friend Donald would have put his finger on it.

Also, is there a better way to install new programs you want at the top of the list than adding 'em, then Ordering them to the left one time until it's in the place desired? It swaps with the other application if you just put it where you want it. SMMX and SysMgr do similar things, but you hit return when finished moving, rather than move one time.

Nothing new to me, but sparked an idea in my head. I've written the GUI shell for another project, LX Song Editor. To be honest, I don't know much at all about the format, so I'll be doing some referring to the manual, but it won't be a big problem. I plan to be able to quickly and easily add notes, normal high or flat, set the volume and tempo at any time, undo your last edit (maybe two edits), edit the song manually, play notes as they are entered, load/save songs, play the songs, and more.. :) I've noticed in the past my doublespeed machine played songs too fast in LXB.. This is compensated for in SysMgr but apparently they are 2x as fast in LXB.. :( I'll find some way to cope with this, not sure of the best way yet., It'll be another freebie, of course.. :) Give me some feedback, ideas for features/looks/input methods, anything that pops in your head! The more feedback I get the more I tend to work on stuff. :) Thanks for the spark, Larry.. :) Cheers! BTW, those of you who have tried LXPGP, version 1.0 will be out soon.. I'll announce it here.

I haven't followed this thread, but FWIW: I use POST/LX & HV to read the NYTimes front page which is delivered to me daily in HTML format. HV is set up as a POST/LX external. I open the message in POST/LX, then start HV from the externals menu. The message you were reading in POST becomes the default message in HV.

I also use a 40mb Should be much more. I'm getting out 11 hours at least. The problem with this charging ceremony is that for some reason, people keep thinking that battery voltage is an idication how full the batteries are. IT IS NOT!!! I haven't seen a proper charging program for the LX yet, and I wonder why. Maybe programmers don't have to much understanding of electronics, and electronics experts don't know to much about programming. Anyway, what does the battery voltage indicate: 1) The temperature of the battery. 2) The internal resistance of the battery. 3) The brand (chemical layout) of the battery. 4) The age of the battery. And then, far remote, it is also dependant on the charge. A few simple experiments shows that this is true. 1) Measure the voltage. Then start charging, and measure again. The voltage goes up considerably within a few seconds. Does it mean that the battery suddenly has much more charge? Not at all! So, what does the battery voltage tell here? 2) Charge the battery for a long time, to make sure it is full. Then stop charging it, and measure the voltage for a while. The voltage drops considerably, right? Does it mean that during the few hours the voltage drops dramatically, that the battery is loosing its charge? Not at all! So, what does the battery voltage tell here? 3) Buy two brands of batteries of the same capacity, and charge them. Then measure the voltage of both brands. See a difference? How come? Is the voltage an indication of the charge inside? Does one brand has much more charge? While charging, the battery voltage goes up primarily because of the following two reasons: 1) The current has to overcome the internal resistance of the battery. Over this internal resistance there will be a voltage drop. 2) The temperature of the battery goes up. This has an effect on the internal resistance (see 1), and on the chemistry of the battery. The battery voltage IS an indication of charge, if you block out the other variables. This means, keep the batteries at a reference temperature, keep the current flowing from/to it extremely low and stable (to eliminate the voltage drop over the internal resistor), etc. This is somehow achievable while NOT charging the battery, but impossible to achieve while charging. The internal resistance and temperature have much more effect on the voltage than the charge state. How SHOULD the batteries be charged? Well, you should not look at the absolute voltage, but the relative voltage (more exactly, the first derivate of the voltage curve). It is known for a long time that the batteries will show a slight voltage DROP when they reach full charge. This is the moment to stop: this method is known as the delta-U method. Immediately after this voltage drop the voltage goes up again, because the current is now completely converted into heat, which has effects on its own. The best chargers (like the ICS 1702 chip) periodically (once per second) stop charging, wait a few milliseconds, measure the voltage, and then make the decision to continue or stop. As soon as two subsequent readings show a voltage that is lower than the previous times, it is time to stop. The absolute voltage of course can be anything, but it doesn't mean anything. It is the *relative* voltage which is important. So, if anyone is going to write yet another charger for the LX, please do it correctly this time. Read some material about batteries (the application manual of the ICS 1702 chip is a good starter) or ask someone who knows about it how it should be done. Maybe I will write such a program some day myself, if time permits. I have been building chargers myself, and my batteries never wear out. I even brought "defective" batteries from other people back to live with the charger. It is quite a frustration to only have a charger mechanism for the LX which goes against all rules of charging NiCD and NiMH cells.

I can't make an honest evaluation of Zip vs Sparq, as I only have used a Zip drive. However, in the best spirit of the list, that won't keep me from having an opinion!! I use the zip drive as a backup for the data files on my desktop home computer (which has essentially become the wife's picture/email kid's game computer), my Laptop (which is my home programming / work backup / Palmtop backup computer) and my Palmtop. my sequence for backing up the palmtop goes something like this: 1. Backup c: to a: dirve (48 Mb flash disk - thank you Shore Systems) 2. Backup a: flashdisk onto Laptop harddrive (Used Laptop courtesy Ebay.com) 3. Backup Laptop hard drive to Zip drive 4. Backup desktop to zip drive. I have a couple of dedicated Zip disks, our "photo albums" (which gave my wife some peace of mind when we moved as she was able to carry it with her), Desktop backup, and palmtop backup. I can't comment on the "click of death" or failure of a disk as I haven't experienced either one yet. I can say I got the whole zip drive outfit and three disks for less than $100, so it has been a very budget sensitive solution for me. The file transfer issue is the ability to pop out the flashdisk and pop it into the Laptop makes for very fast and efficient file transfers at speeds well above anything a serial connection can touch. I am currently looking for a PCMCIA CDROM reader to use with the Laptop - anyone have any suggestions?

The default rate is deliberately set slow for maximum compatibility. To use a faster transfer rate requires either a bi-directional parallel port or an enhanced one. I don't know if your Trans PC card has either of these features. For what it's worth, I never thought my Zip drive was much of a speed demon. It's mostly useful for me because of compatibility with a Zip drive on a computer I use in the lab. I just fired up my laptop, and the name of the Iomega DOS program which does this is called OPTPPM1.EXE. It is one of the programs which comes with the drive. Hope this helps. J. P.

Hmmm, what is the connection between SSC and HDM?>> My thinking in creating Super Software Carousel was to make a package that allowed users to take advantage of much of the great freeware and shareware available for the palmtop EASILY. There is so much good stuff, and most people just don't have the time to select, test, download, configure, and learn lots of new sw. Using Software Carousel, I created both an applications and a games HDM DOS session. (Each HDM session looks like AppManager except that it has a bunch of icons to launch DOS programs. Using Software Carousel, CTRL 2 switches to applications, CTRL 3 to games). In trying to make the freeware and shareware as accessible and easy to use as possible, I realized I needed a few more HDM features. I was able to track down Harry Konstas, the author, and he was great implementing the changes and fixing inevitable initial bugs. Feature 1: Allow arguments with browse. So, for example, if you want to run Garlic to fix your DB or PKUNZIP to unzip, previously you would have to execute those commands from DOS, typing in your arguments. Now, PKUNZIP, for example, when launched from HDM can be set up to browse for an argument - the file to be unzipped. HDM now has that browsing capability (Harry integrated his PICK.EXE program into HDM). Feature 2: Help. Harry was able to give me up to 80 characters worth of tip space. This was great to get a user started -- especially for old DOS programs that had PC - like commands that you would never discover. For example, Backgammon requires a FN DEL (Insert) command to make moves. I find it useful myself to remind me of commands or options of programs that I use, maybe, once every couple of months. HDM 2.4 is freeware now available on PALMTOP.NET Software Carousel (version 7) and Super Software Carousel is available from us, Thaddeus Computing, www.thaddeus.com or orders@thaddeus.com for a catalog or to order. (SC is $19.95 to upgrade or $79.95 for new, SuperSC on CD is $79.95 if already own SC, and $139.95 new). -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 13:41:54 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Tushar <tpatel@COLUMBUS.RR.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Tushar <tpatel@COLUMBUS.RR.COM> Subject: Protected Mode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0016_01BDEBAE.EB5699C0" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0016_01BDEBAE.EB5699C0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Panel: I'm a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow at Columbus Children's Hospital who uses the HP200LX(2MB RAM, 48MB flash card) on a daily basis.

Post/LX can actually take an HTML email and give it to HV to display, Menu External etc... HV is there to receive the email file, and paint it on the screen. 2.

It is also easy to educate the unwashed masses who send email to you that they can send the email as text, which is what it is mostly! In MSIE there is a setting inpreferences that clearly says, "text only". In other email systems I suspect it is very similar. Half the people are deadly in their obliviousness. Most times, I find them receptive to any suggestion of improvement in their communication. Of course, there is always a parasite out there who gets indignant. You can push the DEL button on him.

HP made a mild statement that they do not support the speed upgrade because it voids the warranty and because the components of the machine were designed for the slower speed, thus a faster operation can cause increased load and increased failures. Their statement was very er... "wishy washy", and basically they were saying we do not support it, we do not want you to do it. They made no statement about memory upgrades. There was some information that came out from them stating that they experienced higher failure incidents in the first peiod after the speed upgrade came out in Japan. At the time (about 3 years ago), it was argued that this increase may have been caused by the lack of experience in making the change, causing board failures etc. What I found strange is that they tracked it, even though officially they did not condone such modifications. I do not know if anyone has kept track since. Anecdotally, it seems that the upgraded machines are holding out just as well as the non-upgraded machines, but as this is anecdotal information (what I know from my own machines and from friends and neighbours telling me, nothing statistical) I can't really state it any more authoritatively. It is possible, too that upgraded macines have more failures, but one could argue that this is because they are used more often, being more useful! :) ... Avi M.

I tried to use Microsoft's IRDA drivers, which I downloaded from their site, but I could not map the IRDA onto a COM port.

Ramirez" <nestoral@EMAIL.MSN.COM> Subject: TPN Infiltration In my experience with infiltrations, often of serious nature and with contents of necrosis/slough-causing potential (Calcium, nafcillin, etc.) my reasoning has always been: "If there is an unwanted and unwelcome volume of fluid in the interstitial tissues of the hand/foot/etc., why should I add some more volume, even if it is supposed to be of some good stuff ?" Therefore, what I do is IMMEDIATELY (after antiseptic procedures and using aseptic technique) make several punctures on the infiltrated area with a 25 or 26 gauge needle, and express out the fluid by gentle, but firm pressure with a small gauze sponge, preferably in a centrifugal direction. After eliminating the guilty fluid, I apply liberal doses of desoxiribonuclease/fibrinolysin ointment (ELASE, formerly from Parke-Davis, currently Fujisawa), and cover with a sterile gauze fir the next 24-48 hours, changing the dressing tid to qid with again, liberal application of the Elase. By 72 hours, you can not see the minipunctures, the skin is nice and pink, and I have had no sloughs or necrosis in 13 years. The rationale of injecting wyadase into the infiltrated area so that the irritating infiltrated liquid disperses over a wider area of tissue, escapes me. It seems to methat it would be similar to having your foot in a fire, and instead of moving the foot away from the fire, or the fire away from the foot, you spread the coals around so that the heat covers a bigger area.

I just did a bunch of work on this because I have my own web/mail/ftp/yadayada server now, and I needed to convert my pine address files into something I can use in Netscape. If you open up your Netscape address book and choose File-> Save As, it will save it in "ldif" format. This is a text file you should be able to fold, spindle, and mutilate to your heart's content.

The beginning of the end? INTEL, NETSCAPE EYE RED HAT SOFTWARE Intel Corp. and Netscape Communications have been named as "potential backers" for Red Hat Software, a company that distributes a commercial version of the Linux operating system. No one involved in the deal is talking about it at this point, but industry observers say the move would give Linux a major boost toward becoming a mainstream alternative to Microsoft operating systems. Netscape recently agreed to provide a Linux version of its server software. Intel, in the meantime, wants to keep its options open by investing in operating environments other than its mainstay Wintel alliance. "Intel and Microsoft, regardless of what both companies say, they don't have the closest relationship," says a research director at Giga Information Group. "But I think this has more to do with Intel's generic investment policy, which has them investing irrespective of whether these companies are competing with Microsoft or not. This investment would be consistent with past investments in that it enables a market for Intel and provides a potential for growth that wouldn't exist otherwise." (Computer Reseller News 29 Sep 98) I've heard that linux is beginning to compete against MicroSoft in some commercial contexts. One example is my Computer Science department (at Monash University), which has just invested in "a whole bunch" of PC's, all running Red Hat linux.

I guess the question is whether the agent is liquid in itself, or the specific fluid that causes the problem. This reminds me of the old, old idea that you shouldn't drink water with your food, because it dilutes the enzymes which begin the digestive process.

It is possible for a program to be run automatically at a particular time. That program could be PLAYWAV - or LXMIDI, if you like your music polyphonic. Or that text to speech program.

Alternatively, there is abc - an ASCII music notation which is more sophisticated than, but kinda similar to, HP alarm language. The program ABC2MIDI Ý*¨ converts (you guessed it) from abc to midi.

Just start a comms prog on both, making sure both are set up to ise IR. If the MS IRDA driver is loaded on one of the machines, the link will not work. In fact the windows IR software also interfers with the plug 'n pray software in my laptop so that I can't use an external mouse on com 1. Getting rid of the MS irda s/w altogether solved my problem.

I find your characterization of "correct" or incorrect to be a bit of a stretch. Your method has some fatal flaws as well, and I am sure there is plenty of physics and chemistry to point out these flaws. That would esily debunk your method as the "correct" way to do things.

Hello all, Someone was writing about a newspaper article on Intel and Netscape interested in Redhat Linux and he also asked about the status of ELKS (aka. Linux-8086). Well what I know: -I'd say ELKS is dead. It's still in alpha for about a year now. Advance in PC industry was huge, so 486s can be had for free. 386sx and above will run regular Linux. The only interested parties in ELKS would be: PC-104 (industrial machines often running on 80186 CPU), collector value old PCs (like a true blue 5150, XT or AT; some earliest Compaq luggagables) and the DOS palmtops (Sharp 3100, HPLX, Poqet). I don't think any of the above parties will have enough free resources and inte- rest to complete ELKS. -A 8086/186 based Un*x clone only has hacker and scholar use. It is impossible to have X-window AND Un*x in real mode at any SPEED. There are X-terminal prgs for XT/CGA that work and there is Minix v2.1 true Posix Unix for the 8086 (text mode/cmd line) It indeed works and useful. But both is asking for too much. -I recommend that HPLXers form a task force to complete the Minix port to HPLX. It's already been done, runs but crashes too often. (probably small non-PC compatibilities in 200LX). This work will open a whole new world for HPLX. With the LILO method used in the above port; it should be possible to run any 8086/PC arhitecture OS with some porting effort. That's: DOSes, CP/M-86, older QNX, Minix ans PSION3 OS. The S3a/c is 8086 based and I wonder if the OS source had been grabbed, how hard it would be to transfer it to 8086/ISA arhitecture? Certainly a big victory if accomplished. (Hundred thousands of Psioneers deserting to HP200LX, worldwide shortage of DOS palmtops, HP making LX in three shifts.) (Btw, PSion has just released the slightly improved S3MX. Maybe, HP should care the same way for every product group, not only the newest toys.) -For those who ought to have full Linux, there's no hope in WinCE. Those devices will not run other true OS, only emulators. Real choices are: Palmpilot III (but that won't have kbd and enough RAM to do serious jobs) or the Psion S5. Linux Psion S5 port is in quite advanced shape. S5 CPU power is app. equal to 486sx/33. The problem with S5 is that it wont run DOS (so you need to have your 200LX anyhow) and it uses CF cards. It also has no numeric keypad. Or there is a revamped S5, called GeoFox One. It has PCMCIA, 16MB RAM and the numerics. But it's hard to get, not cheap and BIG size. It also has chiclet keys, a huge con. -I think Libretto family and IBM PC110 are not options for palm Un*x, due battery life and hard drive fear. Cannot comment on that xperimental wearable by IBM Japan. If you wish to have real Un*x in your pocket w/ source code and useful DOS stuff in your pocket in one machine, hold on to your HPLX and volunteer for Minix. That's the only way to go by now.

Taking control of a WinCE machine away from WinCE would probably be best accomplished by removing the OS ROM and replacing it with one of your own :-) All you have to do then is write it 10 times for each of the different hardware configurations out there. rick > >The wince machines can run any os, no one has done it yet.

On my velo1 getting around CE would almost be as easy. The ce20 upgrade actually installs itself into memory from a rom card that lives in the flash ram socket. You should be able, with a little work, to have any OS, written for the hardware and risc microcode, running from a flash card. I also wonder about the rewiting it for each platform. The idea behind a risc processor is that the microcode that runs directly on the cpu will then present a common interface to the upper levels. I would think that wince is probably written to the abstract upper level, not the actual hardware. That only leaves the difference between mips and hitachi processors, plus a couple of others coming up. Pete Peter W.

Bought a pair then, and used 'em for about 6 months before going back to the RS hi-capacity NiCads. I actually got only about 70% of the time I had with the Nicads. (From the 1200 mAHr rating, I hoped for about 45-50% more). Hope you get better results than I had. 8-) -Peniel ------------ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 23:19:52 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Rick Kozak <rick@COLLOQUIST.ON.CA> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Rick Kozak <rick@COLLOQUIST.ON.CA> Subject: Pocket modem MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_05ED_01BDECC8.D3A0FF80" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_05ED_01BDECC8.D3A0FF80 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable A closeout distributor I deal with just emailed offering the following: USR Worldport 96/24 Battery Operated Pocket Fax/Modem (USR-9624-PKT) I know this topic comes up from time to time, so if anyone is = interested, I can get some at US$12 + shipping (you pick the method). rick ------=_NextPart_000_05ED_01BDECC8.D3A0FF80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.2106.6"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial size=3D2>A closeout distributor = I deal with=20 just emailed offering the following:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial size=3D2>USR Worldport 96/24 = Battery Operated=20 Pocket Fax/Modem (USR-9624-PKT)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial size=3D2>I know this topic comes = up from time=20 to time, so if anyone is interested, I can get some at US$12 + shipping = (you=20 pick the method).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 face=3DArial = size=3D2>rick<BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML> ------=_NextPart_000_05ED_01BDECC8.D3A0FF80-- -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
