Comments: To: David Eggins In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Excellent - This proves the power of this list ... The only issue is that you do not have speeds over 50,000kbps, but for most email needs on a palmtop that's plenty fast. And you can go over the serial port - which is a big advantage for the palmtops. If you can relinquish the PCMCIA during emailing, then you have another way to share via an ethernet card and DHCP, but that's a whole "nother trick", which can achieve even faster speeds, of course. Glad I could help. Daniel's writeup is really good. Avi At 5/1/02 +1000, you wrote: >I tried Mochasoft and looked at Daniels web site and it all works now. Very >easy to get working. > >Excelent.

I have used it to connect to my cell phone and also linked the 200LX to the X21 via the USB to serial adapter and MochaPPP. However, I do not use Transfile, so I can't confirm that setup works, but it should. Can you confirm that your connections are right? You should not be using a NULL Modem if you have the HP serial cable, since the USB to serial adapter is designed to look like a normal serial port and the LX serial cable is designed to connect to a normal serial port. The other possible problem is that some of the USB to serial converters, such as those made for PDAs, do not provide a true emulation of the standard serial port, so that may be your problem. Again, you should use some other program, such as a simple terminal program, to confirm that your LX and notebook can talk to each other. BTW - what COM port is the USB converter assigned to? On my X21 it gets COM5. I don't know if that is compatible with Transfile.

I then thought about making an electronic version complete with LED display etc. However, there are quite a number of obstacles to overcome not least power supply, processing for different scales and ergonomics. After letting the 'problem' float around in my mind for a few days I have arrived at what I think must be the 'best' solution, to use my trusty HP95! I envisage the transducer to be a simple pen type device with possibly the optical encoder shaft from an old mouse used to generate a series of pulses proportional to the rotation of a wheel. A simple switch could initiate the reading and all the processing i.e. Scaling, individual legs and total's etc. Could be processed and saved as a text file by the 95. Great in theory but alas it has been years since I dabbled with programming (assembler on a ZX81 and then BASIC on a number of other platforms) so I need some help! Does anyone know if such an application has already been written? Can anyone help me put together the serial interface that is necessary? Maybe I could even adapt a working mouse in someway and not have to fabricate a pen type device?

If the light is a point source and is close to the screen, it will be very bright next to the source and rapidly get darker away from the light. The intensity is proportional to the cube root of the distance, IIRC. So, unless the light is not a point source, like an EL backlight panel, or some distance away from the screen, like a clip-on book light, the lighting will be very uneven. One idea I have is to use two LEDs and a clear plastic rod (such as lucite or lexan): --------------------------------------------- LED>| ROD | wrote: > I believe that the tube which forms the hinge is mostly empty... how > feasible would it be to mount white LEDs in the hinge tube to project light > up onto the screen (and down on the keyboard, for that matter)?

Hehe..I have a lot of comments about Nokia and bugs..I will be very suprised if Nokia care that much about bugs in their phones to delay a launch.. the 6510 has been on the market for about 1.5 months now here in Norway. > Martin, Daniel - have you heard about bad performance of this new > cellphone from Nokia ? 6510 has actually been a okey phone. I have sold 5-10 6510 and they have all worked. That is _very_ good to be a Nokia. You will probably have the standard Nokia fault..that the phones reboots from time to time and locks up.

According to Ericsson an external modem must be Hayes compatible - whatever that means -, but I don't know if they with "external" means even PCMCIA-modems. They said, that what you need to connect to an external modem is a (don't know the english name so I write the swedish one) "drivrutin" from the manufacturer which can support WindowsCE1.0. But if the external modem is Hayes compatible, it will work without this "drivrutin". > There is one major difference, however - it uses CE v1 whereas the 320 > shipped with v2.

So I noticed, but I threatened the Ericsson support, that it was the last time I bought some of their products if they didn't gave me support to this relatively new machine. Then they changed their minds and said that they could only give support as for the hardware. The software was microft's affair.

Now that you own an OB425, I heartily recommend you subscribe to the Omnilist. You would also gain by checking out the List's archives, and by exploring Chris Erickson's website dedicated to the various Omnibooks (OB300 through OB800): Regards, -Don. -------------------------copy from Omnibook list------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 00:43:23 -0400 (EDT) Reply-To: omnibook@elektro.cmhnet.org From: "Brandon Davis" To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: reccomendation for ethernet card for OB425? Andrew - By far the easier-to-procure solution - and one that I can provide step-by-step instructions & even an example of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for, I can post these to the 'List, if anyone else is interested - is to use a parallel port Ethernet adapter. My best luck has been with the Xircom PEI & PEII, although I recall being told by someone on the List that you can also use the PEIII if you use the earlier PE1 or 2 drivers (the drivers that ship with the PEIII didn't work for me, and I haven't yet had cause to revisit that issue). You can pick these up on eBay for $5-15 or so (if you can find one, get the PE1 ...make sure it includes the a/c adapter ...although you can get a universal one at Radio Shack to work). As far as PC Cards go, I do know that a couple of the earlier Socket LPE cards will work, because they circumvent the OB425's woefully inadequate Card & Socket Services with their own installable driver (someday "real soon now" I'll actually try this ...I've got the card to work just fine, but I didn't take it any further then that as the parallel port solution worked so well). Since you're connecting through a network, you'll be easily able to connect to the Internet (heck, you can connect to an NT network by using an MS Client software and a different set of CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT files ...I can help with those, too). My choice of Internet software includes an old copy of Eudora for email, and for a browser I use an equally vintage version of Opera. I'd be happy to email copies of these to you (they're not all that large).

Several times I have promised myself never again to buy a Nokia and I have not yet kept that promise. The reason in my case is their total refusal to sell any spare parts and the total unavailability of service manuals. (Both IMHO actually criminal, but does the judiciary see it that way?) The reason I stuck with them is simply, that before they break down I actually want to use my phones. With Siemens and Sony the menu structure is so sick that I could not put up with it - "divert if not answered" hidden so deep, it requires dozens of keypresses. The Motorola tri-band I gave away the day I was back from the US, I now have two 1900 MHz single band Nokias, a 6190 with analog module and a 2190 that fits on my 700 LX. The motorola did not turn off the key-beep with locked keyboard - drove me crazy. On receiving an SM (the service staid with the provider) it offerd to let me read itwith a single keypress just like the Nokia, but unlike it, that offer was void after unlocking the keys and I had to dig deep in the menu. So in spite of them being unrepairable (not totally, I have done some) one way phones, while they work they don't have a match (and I never play games, find them boring). There is one single ideosyncracy in the otherwise excellent menus making the exchange rate feature in the calculator unuseable, but I don't want to use that anyway (though who knows - if it worked I might). I am not speaking about the unspeakable 7110 (have one as a showpiece) and the older central menu key ones, the 3210 is actually not too bad. And then of course only Nokia and only 2110 and 2190 fit onto my 700 LX, which allows me to insert just one on topic half sentence here.

My Ericsson R520m fell down the staircase by 2 floors (4..5m) to the stone ground. The only thing I had to do was to reinsert the battery, which dropped out the phone, and switch the phone on again. Some years ago a friend of mine let his old Ericsson GH388 drop down a staircase in a factory building by 6 floors to a stony ground. It was not a direct fall, the phone hit the stairs several times during it's way. At the end again: Reinsert the battery and switch it on without any problem! The only bad Ericsson phone I know about was the T28, which had big quality problems with the flip mechanism. In newer models like T29, T39 this is very much improved. In the Swiss TV there was also a contribution about mobile phone quality: The 4 worst ones were all Nokias with the 8210 on top with problems (7 out of 10 with a repair within the first year). Most problems are caused by faulty displays. > P.S.: Even my oldest phone (Hagenuk MT900 from 1992 - big and heavy as > a brick) has less bugs than any given Nokia!

You might try to modify the startup code for NKIT so that it contains the start up for the emu.lib.

The natural way to create the new startup code is to modify the existing startup code. As I remember the setup for memory management had to be changed or removed and a few other changes were needed. I think malloc() and anything that used malloc() couldn't be used. But this is from memory from years ago. Since the source for the startup code was always included by Borland it was probably changed as needed. I suspect that the startup code for MSC 6.0 that came with the HP development kit was created the same way. You have to have some startup code, if only to get to main(). The question is what did they leave out or change. If they removed the startup for emu.lib that might be why you can't do floating point. Keep in mind that I've never made a .exm. I had the development kit and I read some of the docs (years ago). I might even have compiled one of the samples that came with it, although I'm not sure. I did have MSC 6.0. I'm not even sure which docs I read. Maybe the ones for the 95lx or for the 100lx. I suspect all the docs are still around. Probably at Super. It might be worthwhile to read them before doing an exm evin if using NKit.

At first I had a little difficulty in understanding it. Reading the connector the normal way, with pin 5 connected to the ground plane and pin 10 open looked like sense I found connections for Tx Rx DTR RTS and nothing else. Printing being one way only but with the need for the printer to be able to call "stop" that looked funny - DTR and RTS are both outputs, so no feedback and Rx redundant, but then I found, that Xon/Xoff is the handshake of choice ant the two others might be misused as power supplies. With the help og my neighbours' little daughter (I'm colourblind), who enjoyed being allowed to try her hand at a couple of joints herself (the solder ones, you dirty minds!) I attaches a male nine pin with wires recrossed as in the connectivity null-modem and it worked first from hyperterm on the games console and then from datacomm on the HP. But it won't print! Reason being, it's hardwired to 57600 baud and the HP can only deliver 19200. Next I'll try changing the 11.05 MHz quartz for a 3.6 MHz one and report back to you. By the way, I had one order from Czechia and that's it. I thing a bulk order won't make sense at less than at least 5 items and I don't now if there are any left or for how long there will be.

Actually if there is anything on top of cable along its length it twists at the left hinge and becomes suseptiable to beakage. Anything installed in the hinge either needs to go under the cable, towards the middle and be fairly flat or to the right by the right hinge where there is an open spot. If you put large round LEDs under the cable you'll get a reverse twist.

That's a second firm order then: Not having a 3.6 MHz quartz and being impatient, I took a 1.8 MHz one from the "grabbelkiste" (sorry, my colloquial English isn't all that comprehensive) and put it in. The original is that special case, which is only a few mm high, but as there is a lot of room, I could lay the standard size one on its side and there I am: printing beautifully at 9600 baud.

What I do currently is to use DMSIM, which is something like an interface between the LX and the commercial software "Camit" by Roche Diagnostics which has been written especially for the Accutrend DM meter. Camit runs on Windows only and creates nice graphs and analyzes the data, and I wrote DMSim to have a way to create Camit data using the HPLX and a sugar meter. if you find it useful - it is on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/dmsim Otherwise the best way is probably to use Lotus. I have never tried that, but I can imagine that with the appropriate formulas and graphics, Lotus can help your wife a lot. I also know about a program called "Daily Diabetes Log", which I gave a short look and then deleted it again, because it was too complicated (DMSim focuses on ease and quickness of data entry, I never wanted to fire up a large program, tab from field to filed, filll in some of them, then leave the program again: too time consuming for one little blood sugar test!) If you want to, I can try to find DDL in my archives and send it to you.

From what you all wrote to me, I understand the probpem I have seems to be called "Bell's Palsy" in English. It is definitely not a trigenimus neuralgia. since the affected nerve is not the Trigenimus, but the Fascialis. I have a Fascialis Paresis. If there is a virus at all, it is probably the Herpes Zoster virus, which is also responsible for the disease called "G|rtelrose" in German, the dictionary on leo.org gave me for "G|rtelrose" the English word "herpes zoster" and "shingles". The worst thing at all is probably that I hardly taste anything currently, my taste buds are also affected heavily. I consider eating to be one of my hobbies, so this is really frustrating. Okay, sorry for taking up the bandwidth, but since some of you asked for such details, it was easier for me to post them here than to reply to each question individually. Thanks again for all your sympathy, it will help me surely to recover! I hope it will take only a few weeks and not months or even a year until my face works again; experiences published on the Web are very versatile.

I have an Archos portable hard drive/mp3 player. Mine is 6 gig but they come up to either 20 or 30 gig. They also have a recorder version that records directly to mp3 and since it's intended for music it can probably handle high bitrates. These also come from 6 to eithere 20 or 30 gig. They have a USB port (the newer ones have backward compatible USB 2 ports) and a simple driver installation on the computer lets you see it as just another hard drive when you plug it in. It is hot pluggable. A warning: they seem to have made some very poor design choices with these things. I think they're sturdy enough but the supplied power supply can't be left plugged in for extended times because it has some design problems. There's a replacement Radio Shack charger that resolves this. I use an external charger. The batteries are hard to change but they are changable. They're designed to changed but again, poor design. It doesn't take long but it's clumsy. I seem to get at least 6 hours use on a set of 4 1600 mAH NiMH batteries from mine but I seldom use it more than 2 hours a week and there's probably a lot of self discharge. I know the unit draws power all the time. Others who use it all day are getting 8 to 12 hours. It seems to vary according to use. It comes with 2 sets (8) of 1600 mAH NiMH batteries. It's extremely useful and very reliable as a hard drive. Since I only have the old USB it's not fast. As an MP3 player it's very good. Although I use it mostly as a hard drive to transfer things from my father's computer to mine and back. This may be overkill. I don't have any idea what kind of capacity you need. But you can find out more about it on www.archos.com. There's also a yahoo group for their users.

So my success rate doesn't seem to be too bad. ;-) Do you agree that Hitachi did a very poor job in assembling the sceens? I have the impression that the IC pins sometimes only sit on top of a little spot of soldering tin, so that then _must_ fail after some years of usage.

I wrote a little test in Memo and printed it to my HP deskjet using the "HP Laserjet" as selected printer type. The sequences for bold and underlined were saved to the file and executed correctly from the printer. As with all deskjets I have documnetation of, mine defaults to the "HP PC8" character set, which is identical to the 437 I use in the HP too. The Umlauts were seemingly sent as they should, i.e. "=E4" =3D \1= 32 was printed to file as \132, but on the paper I found \204 (I graphics character I can't write in Windows). Looking it up I found "=E4" at that location in a set called "HP Roman 8", a set lacking characters from \128 to \159. The Laserjet being rather older I suppose that was the default then, and with making the HP send "\027(8U" as initialisation everything printed just fine. The thing is, if a \204 is sent to the port, then a \204 and not a \132 should be printed to file, all other printer commands are. So I have to assume, I have just found a (not too serious but annoying) bug in the HPs software. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 18:00:33 +0200 Reply-To: Axel-Berger@Nexgo.De Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Axel Berger Subject: Re: Diabetes Support Software MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Daniel Hertrich wrote: > (DMSim focuses on ease and quickness of data entry, Good for you - this is exactly the reason why I never got round to managing my finances with quicken, entering a single small payment takes ages, and why I never took a second look at car cost and petrol consumption progs but stick to my own Lotus sheet.

At 30 * 13.5 * 6 cm it is far smaller than my HP Deskjet portable, and contrary to the HP that includes a sheet feeder. I'll put a power supply (not the original but correct) with it (lacking the mains cord, but its a standard figure eight connector). The battery pack has just been fitted with ten new NiCd 700 mAh AA cells (not soldered on the cells of course, but to welded strips) which have alone cost 20 DM. You can see where I had to break open and glue shut the welded pack, but it fits and works perfectly. There is no handbook or driver with it, but Windows 98 knows it and I configured it to Epson 850 compatibilty (PCL 3 and IBM are also possible). Configuration is menu driven and except for the amount of paper wasted extremely nice and well explained. So why do I want to get rid of it? I can not make it reliably draw paper in straight and changing the ink container I did not read the instructions and one of the jets got blocked. The very faint line on the output is nor bad, but before every sheet printed it complains about ink lacking and I have to perform a "change" (lift and reinsert head) before it prints happily. A new head will cure that, but together with three (making four) ink containers my supplier charges 44 Euro plus VAT. Six ink containers are about 12 Euro. As, due to the paper jam problem, I was never happy with it, I don't want to spend the money and I don't want the hassle with eBay either. So if anyone here wants to make me an not too derisive offer and you can have it.

I am the kind of guy to collect whatever I can to make my HP more usefull but this is also the reason why I will pass on your offer. A few weeks ago, I bought a Pentax Pocket jet and some time later the Serial cable that allows me to connect it directly to the LX. So I am all set for portable printing solution for the time being. Another reason might be that parrallel port printers will become more rare. Most printer are connected to a network and IT people won't allow me to mess up with their setup. The other printers will have a USB port for which this adapter will not help. Again, 6 month ago I would have bought this adapter but now this appears to me a too superfluous.

We just got word, thanks to the merger, HP will no longer produce its 560 series! (It will most likely continue the 720 Handheld and successors). They will product "HP iPAQs" out of Houston. Frankly, I find it a total bummer as a long time HP watcher and supporter. This marks the official end to the tradition started by the Corvallis division, which invented the calculator. Yes, the division moved to Singapore and it was never the same. Still there were brilliant, innovative products that came from Singapore. With the new keyboard-cover HP Jornada 560, I finally, had no regrets leaving the HP 200LX. In my mind the 560 with longest battery life, fewest bugs, and removable battery was the best Pocket PC 2002. Now dead! The HP 200LX -- no successor, and from this list's point of view the best PDA ever. Dead. The OmniBook 800 -- efficient design, built in mouse, truly portable. Dead. The OmniBook 300 -- could actually run it on 4 AA batteries! OS in ROM. Built-in mouse. Dead The HP 110 and Portable Plus -- 1985 -- DOS portable with 9 hour battery life. Everything in ROM. Wonderful machines. Dead. Now we have HP Houston (who outsources the manufacture and much of the design of the unit). Good bye any sense of HP as we knew it. YUK!

Thank you so much for your help. I downloaded WINDIFRE.EXE from 'Etienne's mydocsonline.com and installed it on the HPLX (92 MB Memory). Installation took about 3 hours - as compared to 10 minutes to 1 hour on the desktop -, but all by itself. The dictionary works beautifully again. I am so happy. The phantastic thing about this dictionary is the presentation of a word in 6 other languages at the same time. Comparing these, connotations become immediately evident and help in choosing one translation over another. As the dictionary is restricted to 29.000 words as opposed to some 40.000 in the Windows version, I am thinking of buying the Windows version from windi7.com (199 Euros), installing it on the laptop where I do most of my translations and using the larger dictionary file of the Windows version on the HPLX. Does anybody of you have any experience if the WINDIDOS.EXE file would work together with the Windows dictionary file ? What a superb institution is the HPLX List ! Thanks again !

Idon't think it is a virus. I already experienced this when setting up Windows for a beginner who had just bought a new computer.

You destroyed it using(not only reading) the card in any comp. So you have to make it again... It can be done with a few digicams only (Toshiba models pdr 50,70...) and with USB SM readers with special chips (made by SCM Microsystems, Inc) and they have SMPREP.EXE in the SW pack behind drivers and other things... So you can go to digicam shop and try to test Toshiba digicam with your own SM card to see the results at home :)... and make a lowlevel SSFDC format, and after that make a formatting in your digicam... Or buy or loan the reader with smprep.exe...But ordinary using of smprep.exe and Toshiba digicams to make SSFDC format will destroy the property to go to panorama mode in Olympus digicams, like the card is non Olympus card.

And Picasso could have spent his time better doing something useful like mowing lawns and Dali could have spent less time thinking about the unthinkable and spent more time melting watches and Michaelangelo could have painted standing up and Shakespeare could have better used his time as a salesman or writing advertising copy.

My state at this time is: I will sell my SingleSpeed 2MB 100LX now. The 360LX is not good for everyone. If you want a machine without any problems, it is not the right choice for you. But if you are experienced and are in search for an adventure (a little of research and trial and error), you get at last nearly everything to work. The original included Software is very buggy. The developers must soon have noticed that. There are enough bugfixes around. It needs all the updates to the Desktop and to the Handheld. Without it, it is frust pure! It is slower in response to a keystroke to have the application to work, than my (SingleSpeed!) 100LX. It is because it has to load all the goodlooking graficstuff (makeUp). But then it looks wonderfull and runs very well. In the 360LX, mMy 128MB Compact Flashcard works better (faster, less powerconsuming!? I wonder why? (perhaps better driver and Interface-design) Because the 360LX has a seperate CF-Slot, the standard PCMCIA is free for a communication-card. It is wonderful, to have nearly the same size, wheight and batterylife like my 100LX! The bigger size is okay, because it is the result of the bigger display (it is the size of the outer-dimensions of the 100LX! and has a very small frame). The keyboard is very big, but the keys are not really comfortable. I do miss the special-application-function-keys and "F1-F10". Because I am a user of MS-Office Products on my desktopmachine, it is very fine to me, to carry the whole Office with me. Sync to Desktop leaves nothing out and is very comfortable. Everything I ever wanted from my 100LX comes true on the 360LX. I put in 2 standard AA NiMh1700 and it runs for hours even with backlight on. Without backlight, the display is not half as good, as the 100LX! :-( If i want to drain my batteries, i can even play standard MP3-Music.:-) There is Software to read Adobe-PDF-Format with grafics and all. PocketOutlook is nearly 1:1 to the Desktop-Office-Outlook Pocket Office is a slim-Version of Desktop-Office, but gives _me_ all that i need "on the road" PocketWord has standard formatting features and WYSYWIG-Grafic quality. All Desktop-Truetypefonts are possible. PocketExcel has no problems to handle all my sheets. In summary: I found my playground:-) Happy LXing Juergen. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 07:24:41 -0500 Reply-To: TomSalwasser@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tom Salwasser Subject: Color Laserjet 4550 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've heard rumors that HP will soon be coming out with the successor to the Color Laserjet 4550.

I used the original adapter (12V) that came with the J720 at home and 16V adapter for Compaq laptops at work - both had the same polarity and the same plug. On the road I use my 12V adapter for the LX and got me the right exchangeable plug. In other words I had no problems at all.

I've got my machine (german version) this week from ebay. I don't want to compare it with my 700lx. These are two different machines with diffent concepts - like apples and pears. Advantage for the 360: the bigger keys, the backlited and bigger display, the touchscreen. I hope, I will be able to write some longer texts with the 360. The Internet Explorer works fine with Mocha PPP, but I did succeed to access the internet via modem or mobile phone. Have you tried this? WinCE _isn't_ Windows 95. It seems to be a separate development. Some details remember me about NewDeal Office. I like the Mobipocket Reader. It is available for much platforms (Win95, Palm, WinCE), I downloaded the publisher to transform my own texts into the mobipocket format. There is a lot of free books. It is rather easy to create a mobipocket book from HTML-texts.

Today most nukes are 250kT or smaller, because low weight warheads allow for using small mobile delivery vehicles, like truck- or train-mounted ballistic missiles or figther-bomber planes. Also sub-megaton bombs are considered more "economical", I mean a higher ratio of "dead / mass of fissile material used". >Yep, I think they went as high as 500 megatons. No, the largest ever feasible BOMB is 100 megatons. This weights 27 metric tons, so bomber aircraft can barely lift it. Russians produced a few, also known as "Tsar Bomba". One of these was test detoned in 1960 in the Artic, but it was deliberately "restricted" to 58 MT yield. However, someone in the USA recommended a static installation of a 50,000MT device, with added cobalt casing; so that global radioisotope contamination would simply erase life on Earth. This weapon was dubbed the "Doomsday Clock". Those interested in such ideas may read the book "Thermonuclear War" by Herman Kahn; however I think people should spend their time doing something more sensible. BTW, the british have recently disclosed the full design documentation of Blue Danube, their ealy 25kTon A-bomb from the 50's. Someone with a laptop, digitizing tablet and enough free time could walk into the PR office and turn the papers into CAD. If CNC machinery is available, he/she could build one quite easily afterwards. A remaining open issue is how to acquire grade plutonium, which is still hard to get. Nonetheless it was a silly idea by the britons.

Then it may be a loose contact somewhere. If you have soldering skills, you can try to resolder the most important contacts (mainly the pins of the memory chips; the CPU pins are probaly too fine to be resoldered without problems). That's what I would try. May it be dependant on temperature? It's hot here in Germany for a few days now, did it work better when it was cold?

This way, the LX will still be beatiful :-) It's hardly possible, because the crack is near the right hinge which you should never disassemble! You can try to get to the crack from inside and apply some epoxy glue, but I would strongly recommend to apply glue _also_ from outside!

I have no association to "heavy mail traffic" Could you please tell me what I should avoid. At this time Ii did not ran into any mail-problems. I think I get about 20 mails/day 2k to 200k big. When will the problems appear? >> PocketExcel has no problems to handle all my sheets. > >... but does not allow charts and graphs (1-2-3 on the LX does). right! For my luck, it is not my favorite application to do that on the handheld. I used 123 now for 6 Years on the LX. I did ONETIME used the grafics-feature (just for the try). On the other hand, i am pretty sure, the are addins, that do graphing with PocketExcel. But in the last three weeks I used daily the PDF-Reader and daily the PocketWord with its "ready_to_print" truetype-fonts and grafics-embedding. And i am glad to have ALL appointments and contacts everytime synced in my pocket! I think the individual needs are so different, therefore so different are machine-matchings to the needs. For my arsenal of gadgets with Office2000 (with perfect sync to my XircomREX6000), the 360LX is the ideal companion. :-) happy LXing Juergen. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 May 2002 17:54:40 +0200 Reply-To: Lillebjorn Nilsen Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lillebjorn Nilsen Subject: Infected Quicken files MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have started to use Pocket Quicken.

When you create a file on the disk and put the content there, then delete the file, the content remains. The deletion consists of simply changing the first byte of the file name on the directory of the disk. When you allocated the Quicken file, it grabbed some storage on the disk. Previously, that storage was occupied by POST/LX. So this is what you see now in the unused portions of the Quicken file. Remember that for when you want to erase, really erase, critical information. To do this you need programs that overwrite the unused parts of the disk with binary zeros. Xtree has that built in, it is called "wash". Or you can have a small file full of binary zeros, then have a batch file that appends it to itself, over and over and over, until there is no room on the disk, then delete that file. Norton 6 has a program called Wipeinfo which does basically this function, too. I do not know how Quicken manages its data, but maybe if you export the data and import it again, it will allocate another part of the drive, and you will see other strange parts of other files, or maybe a clean part. But if Quicken exports the data in bulk - i.e. the whole file, not just records - then this will not get cleaned. Can Quicken export to ASCII records and re-import the data? I think Andreas wrote something like this that exports to a 123 File, but I do not recall if it re-imports to Quicken format. In any case, nothing mysterious or problematic and most likely not corrupt Quicken files. Just need to remember that deletions in MSDOS do not "wash" off the information.

I saw the something similar when I started using Quicken recently. I think what we're seeing is a result of Quicken initializing the file with data that just happened to be in storage from a previous utility. I think this is sloppy programming butI doubt it'll cause any problems and since the data came from left over storage there shouldn't be any disk problems. Cheers...

The dates are stored as numbers. They're formatted as a date but if you ignore the formatting I think you can do math on the numbers.

Yes, I do it all the time. The thing to choose is the "xy-diagram". To get a readable axis legend I convert the date to decimal years, i.e. this year's first of April would be 2002.25. The formula to choose is 1900+/365.25. It ought to be 365.24, but with 2000 having been a leap year it is better to leave the 100 year correction out for the time between 1900 and 2100 (which is all Lotus can deal with as date).

What did you use undelete for? I am not sure I understand... Each application works differently. I am not sure that Quicken grabs space, but someone said it does. When I see things like it, they are usually in my own databases, where the database engine allocates a cluster, but only uses part of it. Generally, MSDOS allocates files in clusters. A cluster can contain one or more sector. If you drop to DOS and run the command CHKDSK C: or CHKDSK A: you will see that the disk drive information has the size of each "allocation unit". This allocation unit is the "cluster" I mention above. When a file is allocated, the smallest file takes at least one cluster. Sometimes we talk about the "slack" or waste on the drive. This happens when you allocate a file which has one byte, and the cluster is say 2048 bytes. The file will take 2048 bytes in the drive, but really usefully only keep 1 byte, wasting the other 2047 bytes. A file that is 2049 bytes long will take two clusters, filling out the first cluster completely, and wasting most of the second cluster, using only one byte from it. What I see a lot is that the slack part of allocation is uninitialized and still contains the OLD CONTENT. That may be exactly what you see now. Back to Undelete: When you allocate a file and it grabs the clusters it needs, and it is an active file, the clusters are marked as belonging to that file. When you undelete an old file, sometimes it can reclaim all the clusters it used to have, and sometimes not. The reason it cannot reclaim the clusters is that another file was allocated AFTER the deletion, and since the clusters were unclaimed, i.e. free, they may have been allocated to the new file. Now when you undelete, not ALL the clusters can be given back to the file being undeleted because some may be used by other, newer files. That is why some times undelete does not work. In any case, it sounds like Quicken is working ok. Glad I could give you some comfort level with my explanations.

To get current years you need to enter them beween 100 and 199. If you don't use any day of the week formula etc. you might be able to shift a century - the leap years are the same. Then you will of course have to add 2000 instead of 1900. And then of course your example is the fourth of January, so that .004 sounds about right.

I've just checked, there is absolutely no need for that. We are talking two distinct kinds of graph here: Line graphs are equidistant and use labels, xy graphs use values for the x axis and do not support labels. That means that a date is written without the formatting, i.e. an integer number something like 30 000. This would be what Daniel had asked for, my decimal years only serve to make the x-axis legends more readable.

To apply this format to the axis labels as well, in Graph choose Options, Scale, X, Format, Date, and then your preferred format. Choose XY type for graphing, make sure your data in the worksheet are date sorted, and enable "lines" or "both" under Options, Format for the relevant range. In case you wish to input the data in a straightforward way, make extra columns, say D, E, F, for year, month, day, and put @date(D#,E#,F#) in A#. Note that the input in column D for year is 0 for 1900, 102 for 2002, etc. Cheers, Geert. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 03:46:25 +0200 Reply-To: Alexander Schreiber Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alexander Schreiber Subject: Re: [OT] Map Blast Shield Comments: To: Tamas Feher In-Reply-To: <3CDD0746.30895.EFCAD@localhost> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Sat, May 11, 2002 at 11:57:58AM +0200, Tamas Feher wrote: > > 27 metric tons, so bomber aircraft can barely lift it.

This was proven in the IIRC 1970s, when the DoE took three freshly graduated students of physics and tasked them with designing such a device, using _only_ publicly available information. After about 3 man years, the finished designed was checked by the real nuclear weapons experts - who concluded that yes, this thing would go BOOM. Building such a device is purportedly not too difficult too, especially if one aims for a terroristic and not a military grade device - it's getting the necessary nuclear materials (especially bomb grade uranium) which is the hard part. Fortunately. This is one of the reason why basically everybody who _has_ nuclear weapons in his military arsenal keeps _very_ close watch on any interesting nuclear materials.

I have been managing 200-250 emails per day for _several years_ now on the palmtop. >That is like cooking on a pocket-lighter for a group of 150 >people! :-) I think you have fallen victim to the propaganda-drive misinformation that you must have a "windows" program to handle email of any size. That is not so. It is only propaganda from your local Microsoft marketing dudes... In fact, it may be difficult to manage this kind of email load using a Microsoft product, because it will want to reboot after every 5th email, restore your windows software installation after every 1000 emails, and upgrade you to the next service pack after every 500 emails. There are several of us, not just an unusual example (myself) who do heavy-duty emailing on the palmtop. >My suggestion is to use filters on the desktop-machine, to shrink the >number of mails. The remaining amount are emails, you really want (and can >handle) on the pocket device. I hate to contradict you again, but will do it anyway : I filter right AT THE PALMTOP. It works very nicely, and I do not need to be tied to my desk. I think your suggestion is probably good, but it ignores the reality of modern software on the palmtop. I followed this thread with amazement. Not only did you go over to "the dark side", but it is almost a luddite move - you went to one of the worst examples of WinCE. David Shier, an old hand at palmtops and a vendor, managed to lose more money in one silly use of the Wince than the cost of it was. He made an appointment in LA on the WinCE telling him to go to Miami airport to return to LA at 4:30pm. Innocently he reset the timezone to Miami when he arrived there during his trip. Then, at 7:30pm (not 4:30pm) he went to Miami airport to return to LA, just to find out that his flight left on time, at 4:30p!!! Turns out the appointment book moved all appointment forward when you change the timezone. Microsoft published an elaborate explanation which amounted to two points: 1. It is working exactly as coded - 2. It is a feature: when you set up appointments while in LA still, you must know that Miami's timezone is three hours ahead and set the appointment to three hours earlier. (Of course that familiarizes you intimately with timezones, and especially committing them to memory, but still leaves you with the confusion about appointment conflicts at the destination timezone.) Anyway, I am not discouraging anyone from using the machine they find fitting them best - you made that point, and I think it is VERY true! I just wonder about what sort of computer you even need, and if you can simply get away with a much less expensive calendar booklet and a pencil. All the best, Juergen, in your transitions.

I'm doing the same kind of tracking and use the XY graph type that Axel mentioned, but my X axis is correctly labeled as dates (ie, 04-Apr). The x values are entered in the spreadsheet as a datevalue (@date(100,9,1) ... and the other dates are simply increments of the starting date ... ie A1+1). Once the XY graph ranges are set, use /GraphOptionsScaleX-ScaleFormatDate to set how you'd like the X axis labels to be formatted. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 13:26:03 -0500 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: Mobipocket Reader for the LX?

I'm not sure if this is true with Mobilepocket files but since the older Palms weren't much faster than the 200lx the tradition with compressed ebooks and doc files is to use an algorithm that decompresses quickly but compresses slowly.

Jus tthe download times may be long, but if you use a DSL line or a LAN, and connect via Ethernet card, even that is fast enough. There are times when I had also about 150 mails per day, when the HPLX-L sent me abt. 100 mails per day, and the rest was personal email and other lists. Today I read a few Linux and Mike Oldfield newsgroups, which sums up to about 100-200 mails per day again, all handled by Post/LX, the newsgroups downloaded by Robonews/LX. I don'T read everything from the Newsgroups, that would be too time consuming for me, but I _do_ read every HPLX-L message and of course the personal email.

PRC isn't a particular format. There are only two common extensions on Palms; PRC and PDB. The intention was for PRC to be executables and PDB to be data but that's often ignored. Neither extension is related to a file format like they are on a PC. They can be any format the programmer chooses. The closest thing to a standard format on the Palm is the Doc format. It usually has a PDB extension and a lot of programs can read it. But it's only one of many many formats with PDB extensions. And even Doc files don't always conform to the Doc format.

It's TFT screen is as bright as any laptop. Brighter than most. It's too bright in total darkness so I have to turn it way down. Even then I've found that I have problems with eyestrain since I'm staring at a light source and my eyes are adjusted to the totally dark room. I have a very dim lamp that I turn on when I read. It's not nearly enough to read by. Barely enough to let me walk without stepping on anything. But it makes a big difference reading. It doesn't improve the screen. It lets my eyes adjust to the light better. With that light on I've found reading on the Palm to be great.

The reason in my case is all to do with age, screen size, eyesight and bodily comfort. I don't know any non windows reader, but that is due to my very recent switch from Atari and most of my reading is still done there through emulation - far better than netscape.

I do believe, you can manage your 250 emails per day. Sorry, my statement was too much from my point of view. Attached to the emails, that I receive, there are often bankstatements, businessplans and other documents. Nearly all I get is in Word or PDF-Format. I have to read them and make decisions therafter.

How should a machine do know, whether one makes an appointment in wich timezone, if not the user tells the machine, when and where? If you fix a telephonecall with someone, neither your partner, nor you computer can suggest where in the world you will be, when the time comes.

I haven't really had a way to test this but I think it's the brightness and the backlight that makes the Palm 3c so good. The newer readers have anti-aliased fonts and that only works with color and makes a nice diffference. But I was happy with it before I got that. I've wondered if a mono device, well backlit, might be just as good. Except for the font smoothing now I don't think the color adds much.

I wanted a machine, that takes standard AA-Cells. The 360LX does! Other CE-machines I found, used LiIon-Batteries. LiIon usually die after 1-2 years (standtime gets shorter and shorter) and have to be expensively replaced by a _really new_ one. LiIon-batteries are aging even if they are just stored. Most keyboard-type machines are no longer produced. So someone will end up with an AC-Adapter-bound machine.

If you have fixed a time with someone in the universe, you have to adjust your appointment depending to the timezone you are in.

Thanks for taking the time to write this macro, yet, when I test it on an indented text file from MM/LX it promotes EVERY level to Heading 1 rather than promoting each set of three spaces by one more level (see my other post in reply to Daniel). Still I applied your idea of "Search and Replace" and did it 10 times on the same document selection. Replace all "^p+30 spaces" with "^p" + Heading 10 Replace all "^p+27 spaces" with "^p" + Heading 9 Replace all "^p+24 spaces" with "^p" + Heading 8 etc... Replace all "^p+3 spaces" with "^p" + Heading 1 I have now a rather lenghty MS Word macro which converts nicely a MM/LX file into a structured MS Word file. Let me know if anyone wants a copy.

I remember the times, when I learned about NewDeal Office. The members of the NDO-list very loved their DOS-based NDO-software and mocked about the MS-world. But - 90% of all mails came from a Windows-mailer. Only one or two listmembers wrote the mails with the NDO-mailer NewMail. In this group I encountered POST/LX (!) for the first time. Sincerly: POST/LX (+ Roboweb) is an outstanding tool. I wrote my own mail-program to have some (yes, only some, not all) of its features under Win32. There are many purposes I can use handhelds for. I don't use one tool for everything. I want to use the best tool in each case, and so I use the 200LX (resp. 700LX) in the moments, when it is the best tool, and the 360lx for other purposes, and I use Win32-machines too. The world has colors and pictures, and when I need colors and/or pictures, then I use a machine, which gives them to me. But this is common sense, isn't it? I enjoyed the times, when I worked on Novell Netware +MS- DOS + Wordperfect. Three producers, not everything worked stable, but there were less viruses, and I could handle everything with a commandline parameter or a small self-written tool. But the world has changed.

Some time ago we ran out and have not been able to replace battery covers. Long story, but in conjunction with HP, we are thinking of retooling the cover (they don't have original tooling) and get some more covers manufactured. It will cost a small fortune. To help pay for the cost, I was thinking of offering battery covers 1 for $20, 2 for $30 to our customers. Is that pricing something people can live with? Is there much of an interest?

I downloaded a program from SUPER 2 or 3 years ago to read Palm formatted (.prc) e-text. It is called DOCREAD. Works fine on the HPLX, although some of the formatting info show up with the text in a form similar to html tags but they can be ignored easily. You can read text horizontally or vertically.

Is there much of an interest? Opinions will probably vary depending on users that like pristine units vs ones that opt for the "battle-damaged" look (I fall into the latter category). Additionally, users who charge their batteries in the LX (and hence never remove the cover) may find the replacement cover to be less of an issue than those who charge externally (I'm the former). So since you're feeling for a market pulse, I'll volunteer mine .... I think your suggested $20 is reasonable to recover the cost of retooling and sales, but it's more than I (personally) would spend on the battery cover.

When HP was still selling the parts kits for the LX I bought a couple of them since I have several LXs of various vintages. I wonder how many others did the same thing. If I remember right there was some discussion (here or at GOHPHAND) about doing that. I suppose if I didn't have a spare and I lost one I'd have to decide whether I wanted to pay $20 or use some kind of homemade setup. Just guessing, I'd probably pay the $20. But it's more than I'd want to pay and I might opt for some velcro or something instead. I do realize it probably wouldn't be worthwhile for you to do for less than that.

I think we talk _TO_ each other, not _with_ each other. If your plane leaves at 4:30pm from Miami. You want to be able to setup the appointment in the book to say "My plane leaves at 4:30pm". In general terms, you set this appointment up in Los Angeles, some time before you even go on the trip. When you arrive in Miami, all you want to do is change to local time. But you DO NOT want the appointment that showed 4:30pm to now change to 7:30pm. Another example: two months before the trip you call and make an appointment with someone in Miami. You are in LA. You agreed to meet on Tuesday at 10am. You enter in your appointment book this: Meet Joe Blow in Miami at 10am on Tuesday. When you arrive in Miami, you change to local Miami time. When happened to David was that his appointment ALSO moved, from 10am to 1pm. That was not right. Do you see the point? If not, I give up.

Juergen commented that "industrial strength" email cannot be done on the palmtop. I responded that it can, not just with Post/LX, but also two-three other tools. I also commented that of the WinCE machines, the 360 is possibly the worst. It has bugs in the software. You wrote about the New Deal Office - and I am not sure what this is about. You wrote this: >I don't use one tool for everything.

I agree with you, even with the point about Windows. (I use Eudora on Win98 for this email!) But what is "best"? It depends on what I need. If the most important points are: AA batteries, PDF and Excel sheets, then it would be dumb to use the 200LX. That is what Juergen explained he needs. Oh, he added the need for a keyboard too. This makes his choice for 360 a rational one, clearly, despite the fact that the machine itself is faulty. >But the world has changed. Clearly. It happens continuously. I still say this: Many people read marketing crap and believe it blindly - they just do not know otherwise. People read that you need a huge windows program to do function X, that you cannot do email on a 200lx - and they believe it. Do you think that because the world changed, we should keep quiet and not try to open people's minds and educate them?

WARNING: Do not try to use the links in the e-book. They will not work, HV will freeze and you will need to reboot. Cheers, Inigo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In graphic modes you can use Int 10h routines if you're using asm. In C, depending on the compiler, you probably have library routines for that. In both cases they do this by drawing pixels in the shape of letters on the screen. In text mode the graphic controller reads text and writes the pixels in hardware so the programmer doesn't have to deal with it on that level. But not in graphics mode. An alternative way is to design or download a font and write code to draw it directly to the graphics screen. This is a bunch of extra work but if you'll be doing it a lot or if you need speed it's worth doing. Int 10h routines are slow. The compilers routines can be slow or not, depending on the compiler. I think the PAL library contains some fonts and comes with a font editor. I suspect it will also do the drawing. I also have a couple of monospaced fonts that I made for the LX. They're made to be used from ASM and they contain the fonts and the code to draw them. However I haven't used or seen these for years so I can't really be sure I still have them. I probably do.

Honestly I don't know the legal stuff. But as you say, LZW compression (encoding) is owned by UNISYS, however LXPIC does only decoding, not encoding. And I mention the GIF copyright by COMPUSERVE in lxpic.doc. But if I'm wrong I have to remove GIF from LXPIC and pay several thousands of dollars penalty...

Unisys accepts that if your gif was made using software that is covered by the LZW license (Microsoft Micrografx Macromedia Corel Symantec JASC Adobe Equilibrium Learning Company NetObjects Visio Eastman Software Alchemy Mindworks Asymetrix Claris Deneba Systems Scansoft/Visioneer) you need to pay NO MORE license fees. They also published this: (http://www.unisys.com/unisys/lzw/lzw-license.asp) Clarification, posted September 2, 1999: We have received numerous telephone calls and e- mails over the past few days asking about our recently posted information on the use of LZW technology on Web sites. We hope to clear up any confusion. This page announces only a simplified lower-cost option for obtaining certain Web site licenses which Unisys has been offering for several years. This new Web site licensing option creates a new, lower-cost, one-time license fee for those interested in obtaining an LZW license for their Billboard and Intranet Web sites. Unisys made this change in response to organizations wanting a simplified Web site licensing plan. Many Web site operators use commercially available software which creates GIF images offline which are then posted on their Web sites. Since most of this commercially available software is under license from Unisys for their use of the LZW patent, users of this software are probably covered as well for this use of GIF images on their Web sites. Questions about the exact terms of the license for a particular software product should be addressed to the provider of the software. The new one-time license fee is intended for those Web site operators who are concerned that they may not be covered by another license.

So basically I have to turn on and off each pixel as needed? So how does one decode a font? I did some looking on the internet and it seems finding the layout for the screen is pretty straightforward but I looked at the hfn fonts in pal and didn't see anyway to decode the file into something useful. I don't read c so don't understand the code they have. I found out the hplx stores the pixel layout of the rommed fonts in memory and has a way to access them so I may not have to use a differant font from the built in if I can figure out which segment the memory space resides in.

LxPic does not produce GIF files, it only decompresses them, to display existing GIFs on the computer screen. The people who created those GIF images are responsible for paying royalties to Unisys, if they care about it. It is this simple. BTW, Unisys is nearing its end, since their joint marketing campaign with Microsoft collapsed. They were trying to push the 32 x Pentium3 processor "Unisys ES7000 systems" with Windows 2000 as a replacement for large Unix machines and IBM mainframes, so they can get back into the juicy "big iron" market. The whole IT community was ROTFL when they saw the campaign. I read, about the only sale they got worlwide was 3 machines for OTP Bank, the largest in Hungary. I think they have more significant things to worry about right now, than GIF issues.

I downloaded Curtis' OL2LX.exe dated 10 July 2001, (ver 3.00.0003) and according to the readme, a problem with duplicating items in outlook was fixed when synching. This, however, does not seem to be the case for me. (Outlook 97 ver 8.02.4212) If I sync or simply do the HPLX to Outlook transfer the items in the address book in outlook are duplicated, every time I run the sync. The only way I could actually transfer the items successfully to the HP was by using an empty phone book, running OL2LX.exe and transferring the 380 address book items to phone.pdb, then transfer this to the HP and "merge" with my existing phone book. Yuck. Curtis' program DOES work marvelously, and I can use it regardless of this problem.

All BIOS interrupts are reentrant, only DOS interrupts are in general not reentrant. I recommend to use function 0Eh of INT10h to write single characters to a graphics screen for compatibility. Using the nonstandard video services of INT10h which are unique to the palmtop, is much more complicated and incompatible with any other DOS system. The cursorposition functions of INT10h are still based on the 80x25 grid, even if you use a graphics screen mode where you can address single pixels. If you still think you need to draw your characters pixel by pixel, you will find a bitmap of the first 127 ASCII characters starting at address F000:FA6E. This is a fixed address in the BIOS area and available in every BIOS implementation. The character box is 8*8, that is, for every character you find 8 bytes which hold the individual pixels. The offset for a given character x is F000:FA6E + (8*x) The bitmaps for the ASCII codes 127-255 are found under the (variable) interrupt pointer 1Fh.

Which all run perfectly on either the HP200LX or my UNIX systems (Linux, (Free|Net|Open)BSD, Solaris) I use (no Windows here). No? Too bad. Yes, I'm aware of the free software that allows me to view .doc unter UNIX, _but_: since those are not based on a full, published specification but on reverse-engineering of the data format, they cannot guarantee that any file will be displayed correctly. And I'm not going to accept the liability of incorrectly converted MS formats. Besides: More often than not, I've seen people send .doc when plain text would been perfectly sufficient. And if graphics, fancy formatting and stuff like this is necessary then there is always PDF.

And dicover that Skip is only effective in Line, Bar and Stacked bar graphs. These are types where the X-axis represents labels for the value of a nominal variable. They are shown on an equidistant-ordinal scale according to the row or column order in the worksheet. I can't remember many situations where 123 did not itself choose a neat interval on the X-axis of XY-diagrams, where the X-axis represents an interval scale. Dates are typical examples of an interval variable: we know how much two dates are apart and in what order they occur, but we don't have a common sense for the "beginning of time". In XY type diagrams, the value of the variable determines order and distance on the axis, rather than the order of the input cells in the worksheet. However, if you require connecting lines in the graph, these will still follow the cell order. This is often useful, but for a date axis in particular it more often is confusing. I just checked a worksheet with daily data over 8 months for severable variables. In a line diagram, I have to set the Skip factor to, e.g., 60, but in an XY diagram, I get the same result automatically (unless I forgot some settings I made in the past). Another worksheet, with irregularly distributed observations over 8 days, in XY mode automatically shows labels for each new day, irrespective how many (0-12) observations I have in-between. In both cases, the X-range contains numbers in the date-time format, and the X-axis is set to use a date format. No formulas were applied to obtain the X-range values.

I recently read an article about using BIOS interrupts from protected mode and I'm sure it said that the interface had to monitor use of BIOS interrupts since they aren't reentrant. I'm not a protected mode programmer but I'm sure I read this. It didn't specifically mention Int 10h interrupts. But since those are on the video card wouldn't it depend on the card? Also there is a BIOS memory area in low memory. Not proof of anything but that makes me think it might not be reentrant.

My 11 year old daughter has not yet mastered faxing from the machine (we'll have to rectify that, but with me during holidays she is understandably not in the mood for more lessons), so resorts to the detour of printing and scanning (the term for the very many adults doing that is "idiots"). Now Wordpad is the simplest and most primitive editor I ever came across (Edlin I only know by reputation) and mostly deals with pure ASCII only. All printers here have very good internal fonts, that come across a fax scan strong and readable. The screen font of Notepad is a spidery typewriter lookalike. What does the stupid thing do? Convert a 500 byte text into a 60 kB graphic with exactly that font, making the letters hard to impossible to read when faxed.

I am now able to create exactly the graphics I want. Now I'm developing a complex worksheet which acts as a diabetes diary, since some expressed interest in such a software, and I don't want to write an own program for that, I decided to create an appropriate and convenient 1-2-3 worksheet. Now I have some more questions: 1. How can I start a macro, for example named "\1". The help says "use Alt to start a macro with a name with one character". But How to use Alt exactly? Alt-1? This doesn't start the macro, but enters a character. 2. What is the unit carbohytraces are measured internationally? In Germany we use BEs, which is Brot-Einheiten (="bread units"), 1BE = 12g carbohydrates. But what is the unit e.g. in USA? 3. Same as above, but for insulin. Here we use IE (insulin Einheiten). 4. Are the "longterm-sugar" values the same as here, i.e. HbA1 and HbA1c (Haemoglobin A1 and Haemoglobin A1c)? It's just interesting for the labels of the columns in my worksheet, since I will make it available to you, but then I'll need to know how you call all these units! 5. As far as I understand, in USA sugar is measured in mmol/l (here it is mg/dl), how many decimal places do you need for that? (mg/dl doesn't need any decimal place, it is measured as an integer value).

I usually put the name (\A for example) in the cell to the right of the first cell of the macro and use /rnlr to create the name. A standard established by Lotus developers was to have a column for labels, a column for the macro and then a column for comments. They usually use AA for labels; AB for macros and AC for comments. In early versions of 123 (I don't remember how early) this caused the saved sheet to be a bit larger if there weren't many columns used for the sheet itself, so you might want to check that in 2.4.

I use INT15h a lot in LXPRO. However I didn't use INT1Ch, because LXPRO is invoked by a keypress and not through the timer interrupt. But it should work within INT1Ch as well. After some thinking I believe Barry and you are right in stating that the BIOS interrupts are not reentrant in general. But what I wanted to say is, that you can use INT10h in a TSR, no matter if it is reentrant or not. That's for sure. We should be more precise in our wording: If an interrupt is reentrant, it means for example, that you can call an INT10H within another INT10h call. I'm really not sure, if this is possible or happens, because it is more likely that one INT10h call is completely processed under closed interrupts, which means, a reentrant situation cannot occur. I never saw a situation, where for example a character was only drawn half on the screen because it was interrupted by a TSR activation. This is a sign for my assumption, that BIOS interrupts are not interruptible.

With the number of good quality external mikes available in quite small sizes nowadays, a minidisk with an external mike could provide very good quality. With 160 minutes of mono recording time on a single minidisk, easily accommodated with the normal battery, this could be what you're after.

It must be a connection problem in the screen board, because when I twist the screen the glimmering disappears and I see only one vertical line in the middle of the screen.

The screen shows a clear picture in the first third. Then there is a vertical line and the following two thirds of the screen are faint, glimmering and appear somehow double. I read a thread about repairing screens some time ago, so it seems that there are people on the list who have experience in this. What do you think is the cause of such a behaviour? My screen board looks good, the cable to the palmtop shows no obvious damage, I cleaned the contacts to the board, but they also seem o.k. When I twisted the whole screen (inside the palmtop of course) the dim screen nearly disappeared, only a very thin vertical line at the beginning of the bad part of the screen remained. I'd like to try my luck if I get any hints where to start.

But it would not bring me further because I already know that the problem must be on the screen board. (because of the fact that twisting the screen part makes it better) And on the screen board itself nothing can be changed. I could resolder the millions of legs of the memory chips (or whatever these chips are) but they are so narrow, that I had to buy an appropriate soldering iron first and it would be nice to know where to start.

Comments: To: kwmiller@azbcs.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Sony PCG-U1 is intriguing and enticing. This form of miniaturization begs to contradict the notion that you 'can't take it with you'. You'll notice that everything is a plug-in so the U1 acts as a hub of sorts to all available peripherals. Once loaded with what you want to take, you're all set. Like the LX, you can utilize the PCMCIA type II PC Card slot for exchanging data. Alas, I do not see PS2 port(s) for ext KB or mouse, IR port, serial, parallel, SCSI, ext FDD, ext CD-ROM, etc. And once again a major PC manufacturer has overlooked the importance of the keyboard. Look closely and you'll see that the Home End PgUp and PgDn keys are secondary to the cursor keys, available via an FN key. This makes no difference if what you doing is viewing pictures or listening to audio, the mainstays of the VAIO line. But for word processing, databases and spreadsheets indirect navigation is pain in the neck. Perhaps someone will write a utility driver to allow switching of cursor key functions like we have for the LX. Let's see, under WinXP that utility should be a mere 30MB in size I would think. As an aside, I DL the HP OfficeJet 600 series printer driver for WinXP last night for a client. That driver is a mere 28MB. Shouldn't they have changed their name to Macrosoft by now?

I just posted the wrong battery life. The battery life I gave was for the Libretto L3 or L5. It's on the same site. It's a little larger machine but still very small and light with what looks like better specs and a better price. They're closing out the L3 for $1599.

Lithium Ion batteries are the rechargable ones. Lithiums have been around for a while and they do seem to outlast alkaline by 2.5 to 3 times but they cost about 5 times as much. So they're convenient but not economical. Also they maintain their normal voltage through most of their lifetime so the battery gauge can't see them dropping and warn you. When you do get a warning they're almost dead. I think when I tried them I used them for an hour or two after I got the warning with no problem, but others didn't get this long. I use 1600 mah NiMH batteries. They get about 2/3 the life of an alkaline and are rechargable. They also drop off pretty suddenly so you don't get much warning. But they don't have memory problems so I change them weekly and it works out fine.

How can I tell > which 8 bytes are the pixel information? Do they put it at the top? Most fonts I've dealt with (I've only dealt with bitmap fonts) have just included the bitmaps, one after another. So an 8x8 font would take 8 bytes per character. Two consecutive characters would be included within 16 bytes. The first byte is usually the top line of pixels, etc. on a font that doesn't correspond to the byte size you sometimes run into a variation. For example, sometimes a 11x18 font will use 2 bytes per pixel line, making each character take 36 bytes, wasting the other 5 bits per character to make the programming a little easier. Sometimes not.

As far as the life of alkaline, in my experience, it depends on whether you have the double speed and extra memory installed. In a single speed alkalines will give about 30 hours of use. In a double speed with the memory up grades I have only gotten about 8 hours of use. With Ni-Cads or NiMH they last much longer in the DS and memory upgraded. The 1800 come very close to alkalines with about 26 hours of use. Once 2000 mAh are availible there probably won't be any differance between alkaline and NiMH in the LX.

Sometimes not. So I'm probably wrong about it being 64 byes? I was wondering why I was just getting a straight line when I tried to print a character. So if I shift the printing down, per byte, instead of sideways I should print a character?

An 8x8 font usually looks like this on the screen: ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** In the file and in memory it will look like this: **************************************************************** That might get broken up by Outlook express but as I see it right now it's a straight line of 64 asterisks. When you draw it, draw the first 8 bits by writing that byte to screen memory. Add 80 to the address you wrote that to and write the next 8 bits. Do the same for each of the next 6 lines (bytes).

The yellow cable looked good, the only thing I found was one golden contact of the screen under the magnifying glass had a small brown spot. I carefully scratched it away and it was something corrosive, and it had almost eaten away the contact pin. This palmtop had signs of a leaked battery, not really bad, but maybe this was the result of that leaking battery. I wonder though, how it could proceed to that single pin because otherwise only the battery contacts and the surrounding case were affected. I cleaned all contacts and pins with alcohol and reassembled the unit, but the screen behaviour is not better than it was before now. In fact it is even worse because twisting the screen does not help any more. Well, I think this unit will serve as a spare part unit for a broken case, mainboard etc...

I'm not sure if this will help but if you're using a lot of macros you can have a macro turn off calculation at the start and turn it back on and force recalculation before it finishes. You have to be careful when intermediate recalulation is important to a particular macro. But in that case you can calculate a range using {recalc}. Have you looked into user menus and having a menu item for entering data? It's first step could be to turn calculation off. I often used menus and had an EnterData menu item, usually not for that reason but to put the user in the proper row for the current entry. If you do this it's a good idea to not let the user see anything that should be calculated or it might confuse him/her. If you plan to distribute this it's not a bad idea to protect the sheet and only let the data entry area be unprotected. That can be done more flexibly with menus and macros. If you don't protect it I would only distribute it to very knowlegable 123 users.

Considering an ISR, to handle reentrancy, has to restart you fix is kludy and would probably in the long run end up screwing up the computer depending on what interrupts its handling.

Then you have to set your wanted cursor position and write your text to this position. Before exiting from your TSR you have to restore the old cursor position. You also should probably save the screen area you want to use for your TSR and restore it after exiting from your TSR. TSR programming is quite different from "normal" coding.

Reentrant code can be called more than once. A second call to it can be made before the first call has been completed. This has nothing to do with interrupts per se. It's just what reentrant means. One of the ways you write re-entrant code is to make it only use local (stack) variables. If code depends on a fixed address for data it usually isn't considered reentrant. I think it's a fairly safe bet that the BIOS interrupts store information at fixed address in the BIOS data area, such as cursor position, number of lines and columns on the screen, etc. So the question isn't really whether Int 10h is reentrant. It almost certainly isn't. The question is can you treat it as though it were reentrant. This is made a little more likely by the fact that a TSR or ISR will have full control of the machine and will (hopefully) leave the machine like it found it before it relinquishes control to the running program. There really is no timeslicing as such. Even though a TSR or ISR preempts the running program, it's not preemptive multitasking. The principle is more like non-preemtpive multitasking. This also makes the matter more difficult to determine. If there was true preemtive multitasking the solution is simple. But to know if a non-reentrant routine can be safely treated as though it's reentrant is going to be difficult to determine. I'd plan on either a lot of testing or just assume it's not reentrant. And no matter how much testing you do, I doubt you can ever truly know.

AFAIK there are only 2 like this that you can use on the Palmtop: A something whose name escapes me, with 6MB, but yikes - 2400 baud modem - waaaay too slow to send images, but ok for small amounts of email. The other is EXP 1414 LXM card (there are models with zero MB, 2, 4, and 8MB. (The friend I wrote about has a 8MB card). These are 14,400 baud which is slow, but fine for some images and email. If you will send 100 images - maybe rethink this! ... There is a faster modem 33600 I believe by EXP but it draws so much juice they built an external pod for a battery for it. Occasionally, there is an EXP for sale on EBAY, and sometimes I have one too. But not lately. >I would prefer buying one from a member of this list as this way I know it >would work with the LX for sure (I checked Thaddeus on line and they are >offering modems, but none with memory). Right, these are fairly old modems and have not been sold for some time. EXP offers a _lifetime_ warranty which is priceless, IMHO. My friend had it replaced twice because it simply died - no problems! If you can find one, it is worth buying and hanging on to, possibly have the factory refurbish for you. Contact www.expnet.com for more details.

The easy (ish) way would be to get hold of a full copy of 123 or Symphony which includes PrintGraph. At one stage Lotus was giving away copies of Symphony on computer magazines here, so maybe there is a copy on the web somewhere (I suppose it's of the same era as Agenda and Magellan now) Another possibility is I'm sure I used to import PIC files into Word Perfect to print graphs in my documents (although last time I tried was about ten years ago). Maybe you can try this, or Microsoft Word has a similar facility?

It's an amazingly flexible program and it's macros are nearly as powerful for things you might do in a spreadsheet as Basic.

In the example above, the worksheet does a lookup and finds the values for HKD and USD and presents you with the amount you need to pay in YOUR currency in order to pay for something priced in local currency values. For instance, that DVD player that cost 199.00 Hong Kong Dollars will cost you $25.52 in US Dollars. All recalcs are instanteous and automatic. What I would like to do is solicit help from one or two Lotus experts out there to take this worksheet to the next level. I would like it to use the Bank of Montreal USD$ base currency table but also be able to formulate currency exchange values between non-US currencies. In the above example, what would the DVD player that is priced at 199.00 Hong Kong Dollars cost me if I am paying in Bulgarian Levas (BGL)? It should be possible to first do the HKD to USD conversion then do the USD to BGL conversion. This way, the 123-LX Currency Converter becomes a universal currency converter that relies only upon one data set. Currently, I am taking the text email from the Bank of Montreal, running it through dBase to create a .dbf file, running a dbase program to convert all the text strings to numeric values. Then I'm using Lotus/Translate to take the dbase III file and create a 123 worksheet of just the daily currency conversion values. Then I open the Currency.wk1 worksheet and do a File/Combine to bring that converted data into the worksheet that holds all the formulas and lookups. All of this only takes about 5 minutes. I am hoping to get it all working smoothly and then proceed to do a mass email to everyone who simply wants the daily currency worksheet, CURRENCY.WK1 Each day a new file of the same name would be mailed out and it just overwrites the existing file.

But the problem is that then humidity can get in and the life time of that foil is very short, so buing a bigger one is probably not a solution. I found one supplier which produces foils for price 0.4 Euro per square centimeter if order is higher than 500 pcs. For lower quantity they add price for developement which is at least 50 Euro (20 times less then for example one supplier in Germany)depending how difficult the foil is to make. I don't think, that such foil for 200lx should be anything special. I am thinking about trying it...

The LX series is, while fun to mess with and still the best little computer out there in its size, is pretty much a dead platform. I still like using an inverter chip (check out www.sipex.com and www.coilcraft.com) and a coil better than this inverter design. A board can be built which fits in either the main case or the hinge and there is no need for any case modifications which makes it esierto install. Plus the sipex chips have an on/off pin which can easily be controlled from the hornet. Just a matter of running a wire.

I do know it has to do with how much mail I receive I ran Software Carousel and WWWLX on my 200LX-4M for long time before upgrading to 32M. I used a slow IBM 10M flash card to hold as much read-only files as would run there. This allowed me set aside @1.5-2M of the 4M as SC swap space. It got a little tight at times but it worked. With the good Sandisk CF cards you could have a big A: drive and use most of the 4M C: as swap space. It'll work but may be a bit more difficult to set up if you need to start moving things around so everything fits and is using the available resources most efficently. Cheers...

My sister is quite jealous of my 568 and eagerly awaits every price drop so that she can buy one for half of what I paid. ;-) I'm sure the prices will plummet now that it's a has-been. I've been very pleasantly surprised by mine, and I'm a die-hard 200LX fan. I'm going to get a keyboard for it though cos I can't live without one. Its pros outweigh its cons for me, although it's hardly a 200LX substitute - very much a desktop adjunct rather than replacement. -- Chris Randle *Disclaimer* No guarantee can be made that every word in my post will necessarily appear in the subject line. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 01:00:45 +0200 Reply-To: Clemens Dubslaff Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Clemens Dubslaff Organization: http://freemail.web.de/ Subject: Ogo100: How I can use all the 240 graphiclines in DOS?!

Hercules video ram is at B000h. Also, and I don't remember this very well, but the hercules graphics mode uses an interlaced scheme.

I often did this in CGA too but always with Hercules. However it's been a LONG time since I've done anything with Hercules and I might remember wrong. I did look up the above table so I'm sure I'm right about that. By the way, Hercules cards also had 2 graphics banks, either of which could be used. I think they each had 32k. But some of the clone cards only had one bank so you couldn't really rely on that. I had no idea the Omnigo used Hercules graphics. Are you really sure?

I suspect it may be either a loose contact at one important pin leading a control line (all the control chips on the back of the screen are daisy-chained, so if a contact is not working after the second chip for example, all following chips don't get the control signal), or it is a loose contact at a "Durchkontaktierung", i.e. a joint between one side of the PCB and the other side, that are these little round holes where some of the copper strings suddenly end.

They are lighter, if weight is a premium. Their final discharge curve is steep, they go from full voltage to dead quite rapidly compared to alkalines. I use to use lithiums at about $5USD/pair. I now use cheap alkalines at about .50USD/pair. I get at least half the life for 1/10th the cost AND I get lots of warning that they're finally growing old and need changing. Cheers...

I do understand that making a small production run of anything is very expensive per piece vs. making a large number of the same item. If I needed one or two, I would buy them at that price. However, I purchased the repair kit from HP a number of years ago so I have a couple of spares, have never broken a battery cover and have four palmtops, going back to my original 95LX, that I can use for parts. I doubt I would be in the market for one. (Or perhaps with four palmtops I _should_ buy more spare battery covers.

If you have a laptop you can use infra-red. Most laptops have infra-red serial ports and so does the HP. You an buy a compact flash card and adapter and, if you don't have a way to read it on your desktop and you don't have a laptop you can buy a reader that plugs into your USB port. Then you can use the card to move things back and forth. This is what I think is the easiest way and it's what I do, even though I have infra-red and cables. You can buy a cable from Thaddeus or from someone on this list. That's the least expensive way if you don't have a laptop. And when you call the 200lx a dinosaur you need a modifier such as "wonderful dinosaur" or "useful dinosaur". Consider yourself flamed.

All you need is a nullmodem cable (1,5,9 straight, 2x3, 4x6, 7x8 crossed) female to female with the special HP connector. Daniel Hertrich's website tells how to make that. You can use the rather primitive and brain-dead Windows software by Yellow computing or try to find the connectivity software. As far as I know, the copyright is still valid and it is still commercially available - otherwise I could let you have a copy. BTW: "Dinosaur" is probably not going to find you many friends here, apart from being a bad comparison. It is rather one of those small and insignificant niche mammals surviving in spite of the predominant, overpowering, and well adapted dinosaurs. Lets see what form the meteorite is going to come in.

Here's an overview of the methods I can think of, including those Barry mentioned. IR * requires a PC with IR * protocols can be a challenge to configure * moderate transfer speeds (?) Serial cable * requires a PC with serial port (and the cable) * generally easy to configure (several options) * slowish transfer speeds PCMCIA flash card * requires a PC with PCMCIA slot * very easy to configure * excellent transfer speeds PCMCIA ethernet card * requires a PC with LAN * protocols can be a challenge to configure * excellent transfer speeds PCMCIA modem * requires a PC with modem or Internet connection * moderately difficult to configure * slow transfer speeds After reading HPLX-L for several years, I don't have the sense too many folks use IR extensively for lots of file transfer, and the modem method is not very practical. My PC does not have a PCMCIA card reader, and I don't plan to add one. I used the serial cable method for several years, but switched to the PCMCIA ethernet card approach about a year ago and have been very pleased with it. -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 19 May 2002 22:06:07 +0800 Reply-To: Adrian Ho Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Adrian Ho Subject: Re: HP 200LX and PC Connectivity In-Reply-To: <001b01c1ff39$2d0055e0$9d0d22d1@oemcomputer>; from barry@FBTC.NET on Sun, May 19, 2002 at 08:28:43AM -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Sun, May 19, 2002 at 08:28:43AM -0500, Barry wrote: > And when you call the 200lx a dinosaur you need a modifier such > as "wonderful dinosaur" or "useful dinosaur".

This sounds rather complicated... Have you thought about using the 1-2-3 {OPEN} and {READ} / {READLN} macro functions to directly import the values into the 1-2-3 from the email (maybe the email has first to be filitered by a little C program or so). So it would be emough to mass-mail the email from the bank, and to use a macro in the worksheet to import the data, and everyone could do that on his own, based on his needs to have an up-to-date worksheet.

Perhaps even "Dinotopia" to borrow from the recent U.S. mini-series name . I recommend the CF card/card reader option. I have lots of serial cables; yet seldom dig them out. As long as you have a computer that has/supports USB (or a laptop w/ a PC-Card slot), you're up and running in no time. If you have available expansion slots and an open "expansion bay" (whatever the proper term is for drive bay that you can access from the front), you can buy some kits for PCs that will allow you to install a PC Card reader directly into your computer. Most of the old ones have an ISA card as their connection to the PC, but I've heard there is one that uses a PCI card (although it's a much more expensive option than a CF Card reader). If you're really into short wave, there are many list members here that might be able to help you w/ projects where you plug your serial cable into your short wave and do various things with it.... Oh, and one or two members on this list use their "dinosaurs" to control Baypac (sp?) modems and they use their LX for short-wave packet transfer (or packet-radio, whichever is the proper term). --tim PS. I've JUST added Ethernet to my home setup (just a DSL router to my ADSL setup) and am looking for an Ethernet card for the LX (there are only a few that work ... power draw needs to be low), and I suppose, I could/would add a hub, so my computers and LX could talk to each other instead of just the net....

It comes with a serial cable and connectivity software. You might want to buy it for the cable and cable connectors it has. It has a null modem and other adapters. However if your PC doesn't have a serial port you will need a serial to usb adapter too. Your LX has Laplink Remote Access on the d drive which you can use for transfering. Otherwise you can also build a cable. You can find the special 200LX end at electronics places like Digikey and Mouser. It's has 2mm spacing I believe. Others have already suggested other ways. There are a wide variety of ways to connect a computer to another you can pretty much take you pick and do whatever you like best. About the only thing the 200LX can't do is usb to usb and that's only because it has an 8 bit pcmcia buss. Although I don't see any reason the 8 bits can't be quadrupled to give 32 with a driver so a usb pcmcia will work. Then we could do usb too.

To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde an lxpic for 5 seconds and then hits esc. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture shows his profile." Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he does a larger lxpic "+" for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" She giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?!? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?" Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the pic to the third blonde, and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer." The blonde looks at the pic intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm... the suspect wears contact lenses." The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer.

Well, before he went over to the dark side, Rod Whitby reportedly worked out how to set up drive sharing with Windows. I've never done it, but have pretty high confidence (since Rod said so) it can be done. I s'pose you'd need to search the archives or SUPER. I use LXFTP with my Linux box (at least in theory--I'm having a bit of trouble getting it set up). With Windows, one scenario would be to open a telnet connection from your 200LX with LXTELNET. It includes an ftp server, so you could then ftp to your LX from the Win98 box. Sorry this is not more help. If you have an ftp server on your LAN, I'm certain you could connect directly from the LX with LXFTP. My trouble with Linux is a firewall configuration issue. Hope this helps, feel free to ask for clarification on any of the things I've muddied up.

I'm trying to find a way to set up information which can be used by all programs of an application. For example, progA might allow the user to set up screen colours. Then it calls progB, which retrieves the colour settings and applies them to its own screens. Similarly for progC called by progB. I could pass the values as entry parameters as each program calls the next, but I'd rather have them stored somewhere safe in persistent memory. I was hoping to use DOS environment variables, but although I can retrieve them within my programs, I don't seem to be able to set them. So, two questions: 1. Is there another easy way to provide an in-memory place to hold values, that will survive from invocation to invocation of programs? 2. Does anyone know a way to set DOS env variables from within a program? I'm using ASIC, but any ideas for another compiled BASIC might be relevant.

What I use to let batch files communicate without taking up ENV space: I create files with specific (but unique) names and zero size. So batch1 can create file "modem99.tmp" to let batch2 know that it shall configure WWW/LX for mdoem use. batch2 deletes the file once it has asked for it. It's probably not the fastest way, but it doesn't depend on free ENV space, it is easy to implement. > 2. Does anyone know a way to set DOS env variables > from within a program?

The probable best - future proof device is a PCMCIA 'ATA' to ATA cable connector. Makes a CF and PCMCIA ATA card visible as a normal IDE disk. Search Google for info. Drawback - only works for ATA devices, often requires plug-in before boot-up. Also there are USB to PCMCIA to be found. Max speed is USB speed. For best speed and compatibility, I recommend an older SCM adapter kit ( the ISA version).

I tested: W32Filer - http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=w32 Transfile - http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=transfile I could have tested the original HP comms software, but is is not generally available, and from memory was a pain to use, and I dropped it years ago in favour of these two utilities. Following are the results: -------------------------------------- Bytes: 6,612,110 (6.6mb) Files: 114 W32Filer = 22 Minutes Transfile = 54 Minutes This is largely due to the fact that Transfile limits transfer speed to 57600 baud, where W32FIler allows 115200 baud. Transfile is controlled from the PC, where W32Filer is controlled from the HP200LX. And at 36kb, W32Filer is 10 times smaller footprint than Transfile.

Well. I've got a PGP 2.6.3ix installed on my HP200LX, but I haven't teste= d if I could send anything to someone using a newer PGP, or even a GPG. I suspect it might work. The opposite shouldn't (the message format have changed since the 2.6.3 days). The 2.6.3 version encrypts the message wit= h IDEA by default, and I don't know if 3DES can be specified. GPG by defaul= t doesn't allow IDEA (because of patents in Europe), but it can be enabled. Likewise, GPG by default supports only DSA/DH keys, and no RSA. The lates= t versions of PGP support both DSA/DH and RSA keys, but recommend the use o= f DSA/DH. The 2.6.3 doesn't know anything about DSA/DH, only RSA. > Anyway, I've tripped over the "International" version which is ver. 2.6= .3i > and, of course the normal "American version" which is 2.6.2. > > What are the significant differences (and is one better than the other)= ? The main difference is about export regulations. On the days of the 2.6.3 (and 2.6.3i), it wasn't easy to export cryptographic software from the US= , in binary format.

The files themselves don't have to be empty. They can instead contain useful info -- the value, as it were, of the variable named by the filename. (This is actually used in at least one suite of Unix utilities, as a portable alternative to stuffing a multitude of "VAR=VAL"s in the startup scripts of several mutually-incompatible shells.) I can think of at least two more advantages to this approach: * Persistence -- preferred settings won't disappear if you have to reboot, for instance. * Easy configuration -- any utility can change the value of any variable easily, without have to carefully edit its way through the AUTOEXEC.BAT minefield. - Adrian ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 09:35:42 -0500 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: OT: Safe Place for Stuff Comments: To: Roger Whitmarsh MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Whitmarsh" To: Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2002 11:50 PM Subject: OT: Safe Place for Stuff > I was hoping to use DOS environment variables, but > although I can retrieve them within my programs, I > don't seem to be able to set them. > > So, two questions: > > 1.

You can use a very simple TSR that does nothing at all and put it's address in one of the unused interrupt vectors. Then your programs can get it's address and, knowing the offsets of it's data areas (variables) write directly to them. This is the simplest kind of TSR since it doesn't have to be careful of any of the issues that usually make TSR programming difficult. It won't use much memory and is simple to write in asm. I doubt that you can do it in Basic. It can be done in C but it's much simpler to do in asm. I did this quite a bit at work back in the days when everybody used Dos. In my case I used (IRRC) Int C0h since that's reserved for Basic and I was sure Basic would never be used on these computers. Since you're using Basic you'll have to find a different unused interrupt vector. > 2. Does anyone know a way to set DOS env variables > from within a program? There is a lot of code for this in asm on the internet. Check some of the sites like Simtelnet or x2ftp.oulu.fi or Jumbo, etc. It might be doabble in Basic but it might be difficult. If your basic can call asm subroutines (I think Asic can and I know the Microsoft Basics can) you should be able to use one of these. You might also look for this on some Basic sites. There are probably some already compiled for this. > I'm using ASIC, but any ideas for another compiled > BASIC might be relevant. I think FastBasic or PowerBasic have functions for this built in.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here: A5 is untouched, isn't it? And B1 get the content "$A$5". That's almost all I need. The other thing is: I now want to be able to jump back to A5 wherever I am in the worksheet. I think it can be done combining {GOTO}, @@ and B1 somehow. {GOTO}@@(B1) ?

I would appreciate, if owners of these machines could run a few simple tests like reporting the MS-DOS MSD output (ROM BIOS date, the reported machine model, sub-model, and revision number), or alternatively just the 11 bytes displayed by DEBUG when entering D F000:FFF5 and the 8 bytes displayed by D F000:00F8 at the DEBUG prompt, as well as the 16 bytes displayed by the D command after calling INT 15h/AH=3DC0h from within DEBUG: A mov ah,c0 int 15 P P D ES: replace_this_by_the_currently_displayed_BX_value Q together with the info the machine displays itself at startup. This info is often used to identify the "compatibility level" of a given x86 machine, so that software can be adapted to run smoother in a particular environment.

The SDK says on page 106: "This function provides storage and retrieval of any of 8 words in extenden BIOS RAM." Try to get the SDK for more information about input and output values of the function.

In B1 we have A5 referenced, so Lotus will reproduce in the current cell whatever is in A5, namely this: {LET b1,@cellpointer("address")}{CALC} This is not easy, and all I can think of is going around and around... Running macro @cell("contents",b1.b1) in some cell gets you the formula which is in B1 as _contents_ but it looks ok "$A$5". Now you can edit that same cell and CALC it which yields +$A$5 as contents. Edit again, home, and get rid of the + sign, and add the string {GOTO}, press END and add the string ~ and now you have a cell with {GOTO}$A$5~ and if you execute that cell you go to the place you wanted.

Thanks for the confirmation that SMTP AUTH is in V 3 and up, not in V 2. If you mean by "update bonus" any offering we have to upgrade, then yes, you are correct. Version 3 came out July 18 2000 - almost 2 years ago. The upgrade period lasted and lasted for months, and any people upgraded. Many did not. There is still a "secret" upgrade offer though It is inside a message I sent Feb 2001 to members of the mailing list. To see it, a person will have to join the list (See Topica logo at http://www.dasoft.com) and then read back through the archives. A bit circuitous, but it saves a few $$$, shekels, rials, dinars, lire - whatever your favorite currency is ..

I've been playing with this using Avi's idea and trying some other things and I realized I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. What you said above is clear enough but maybe not complete enough. You're asking how to implement your solution to the problem without really telling us the problem. Maybe with some more context we can have a few more ideas on solving the problem. For example, if A5 immediately follows the current last entry in a certain range or column and you want to go there to make another entry, then finding the last entry in the range or column of data would be a simpler solution. If A5 is a standalone cell that can and will change location, maybe a macro to leave that cell that leaves a marker would be a solution. It's hard to know what might be a good solution without really knowing what you're doing. Besides that, I'm nosey and I want to know what youre up to. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 10:03:55 -0500 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Klez virus from this list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just received 2 emails that had this list's name as their origin, although they didn't get past my filter that moves this lists posts into it's old folder.

The virus seems to create messages with broken/non-standard MIME headers, which might explain why it can get past software that deletes attachments. This list, however, only allows posts of a certain (and rather small) size, and the virus is much bigger than that, so even if it could sneak attachments past the attachment filter, it would still get caught due to its large size (and there's no way it can avoid that).

The other option you have: You can create a subset ( or more ) within your existing phone book. E.g. creating a subset for 'customer'. Then you can switch with Menu -> View ->Subset ( or F6) between all phone book items or Subset customer. If you'd like I can give you more details about subsets.

Q: Is it possible to have multiple phone books? Fool that I am I have recently allowed myself to be elected to our home owner's association board. Suddenly I have a need remember many more people, what they do, and how to reach them. An ideal use for my LX but I would just as soon keep that block of contacts separate from the normal phone book. So, can I create another phone book, identical the original but empty? If I can do this are there any pros and/or cons? I suppose I could use SOPEN.EXE to start it up. Comments? Cheers...

Remember that the 80186 can only address 1 meg of memory, be it RAM or ROM. So you never can see it all at the same time. There is hardware in the 200lx that manages memory to determine which meg the processor can see at any given time. Even when you look at C: and it says you have 1.3 meg (that's RAM) it can actually only see 1 meg of it at a time. I think the way it actually works is that the memory manager see's all the memory as lots of 16k sections and can swap any 16k section for any other. I know RAM works this way. I suspect ROM does, too.

And Ctrl-Phone gets to the Database app. If you're already using the Database, you can also have a generic database as NoteTaker file, and open it in that app. You just have to edit the file with a binary editor and flip one bit to make NoteTaker be able to open it.

Not all of the ROM is organized as a DOS file system. D: is one part, with EXEs and config files which you may need from the DOS prompt or also from internal programs. Must internal programs however are not "files" which are usable via the file system, but they are somehow addressed explicitly and directly by the system. No need to have them accessable as a file.

In some cases this seems to be easy, but sometimes the layer is glued so hard to the LCD that it's hardly possible to separate the two.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Yes, this is a very handy feature. See the clip below, from the Palmtop Paper 99(11), which you can probably check on Thaddeus' site. The programmes may well be available on SUPER... Geert. "Using Notetaker to Display Database files ..... It is possible to open two Phone Book files or two Database files in one System Manager session. For example, you could open two database files, e.g., DB1.GDB and DB2.GDB, by using the MENU File Rename command to give DB2.GDB the file named DB2.PDB. Once you've done that you can open DB2 with the Phone Book and DB1 with the general Database program. .... Use the utility program GDB2NDB by Jorge Trevino (Csi 72540,620) to convert a .GDB file to a NoteTaker file and you'll be able to open a second database file in NoteTaker and still keep your Phone Book file open. The easiest way to do this is to put the GDB2NDB.COM file, along with a copy of the DEBUG.EXE program (from the D:\DOS directory on the Palmtop), in the same directory as your database file. The DOS command to use is GDB2NDB DBName Do not add the .GDB extension to DBName. Press Enter and the conversion will be done. You'll end up with a file called DBName.NDB which you can open in NoteTaker. The upside is that you can now use the System Manager clipboard to copy and paste from one database file to another without having to close one file and open the other. GDB2NDB is the second in a matched pair of programs. The flip side to GDB2NDB is the program called NDB2GDB. Jorge created the pair of programs so he could convert a NoteTaker file to a database file with NDB2GDB. He could then open a NoteTaker file in the Database application and use the command [MENU], File, Modify and add a date field to his NoteTaker file. He used the GDB2NDB program to change the modified file back to a NoteTaker file that contained a new date field. For the purposes of this tip you only need the GDB2NDB program. However, you'll want to keep the other program handy just in case you want to modify the structure of your "expanded" NoteTaker file. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 10:31:22 +0200 Reply-To: Erwann ABALEA Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Erwann ABALEA Organization: Halfling Soft Subject: Re: 3MB ROM In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Wed, 22 May 2002, Daniel Hertrich wrote: > On Tue, 21 May 2002 22:14:47 +0200, Gijs Leegwater wrote: > > > I was wondering... the product specs of the 200lx say: 3MB Rom... but= when i > > do a checkdisk, or a dir /s on d: it says disk is only 900K-1000KByte= s. > > Where is that other 2MB used for? > > Not all of the ROM is organized as a DOS file system. > D: is one part, with EXEs and config files which you may need from the > DOS prompt or also from internal programs. > > Must internal programs however are not "files" which are usable via the > file system, but they are somehow addressed explicitly and directly by > the system.

Extremely easily. The way I'd do it (there are others) would be to copy your existing book in filer to a different name (same extension of course) like home.pdf. Open the new one with F9 and delete everything in it. There you are. The only program where you can't change with F9 F10 (you can using Menu, but thats more work) is the calendar.

It's a very cool program. I just wish it could query the waypoints I've already stored in the Magellan 315. At his LXGPS web site, Greg has some files that "have been calibrated for use with LXGPS." I'm interested in the Texas ones by Beverly Howard, but what you get when you download any of them is a ZIP file containing only a single PCX file, no instructions. When I load one of these into LXGPS, it says the map is not calibrated. Is the map itself supposed to contain the cal info, or should there have been some minor instructions giving me the coordinates of its corners?

Yes, but I made a slight mistake - actually it's two bits in the same byte. It's byte position 12, or the 13th byte of the file. GDB (and PDB) files have hex 44 there, NDB files have hex 4e. Change the 44 to 4e, and NoteTaker can open the file. Changing the file extension is optional. It displays exactly as it would in the Database or Phone app, except there is a graphic of a spiral on top of the data card. >Is it possible to fully edit the second database in Notetaker? You can fully edit the data contained in it, just like you could with the phone app. However, if you want to add/remove fields, etc., then you need to go back to the Database app. The NoteTaker app just doesn't have the File, Modify menu choice. -- Curtis Cameron http://www.ccdominoes.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 00:02:17 -0500 Reply-To: Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: Max entries/size in Phone .PDB?

From my experience with the structure of LX data files, I believe that the limitation would be the size of the lookup table at the end of the file. The lookup table is itself a record, with a record header containing the size, and the size is encoded in two bytes. So the maximum size of the lookup table (or any record) is 65,535 bytes. The lookup table contains eight bytes of data for every record in the database, so that's a maximum of 8191 total records. What counts as a record? One for the database header, one for each field in the database definition, one for the layout of the fields on the card, two for each subset, one for the lookup table, and (most important), one for each data record and one for each note. If each data record has a note, you could get about 4000 of them. So don't worry about your 24K file. A file that I depend on heavily is 220K, with over 1500 data records. -- Curtis Cameron ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 08:36:56 +0100 Reply-To: Yves Leurquin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Yves Leurquin Subject: Re: never-ending macros MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > i too have GDBWIN; what makes GDBWIN run never-ending macros easier than > C-Pack 200 or the LX's D-base application?

Some of the Texas maps are calibrated, some aren't. The calibration info is stored in the pcx file. If you view a map as a text file, you should see the text LXGPS near the beginning in a calibrated map.

Most of the other students have graphing calculators like the HP 38g/48g, TI-8x, and various Casio and Sharp models for the purpose. In considering a purchase of one of these nifty little gadgets, it occurred to me that I have a more powerful and nifty little gadget already: my 200LX! (DUH!) So, after playing around with it and reading through the User's Guide, in the section about the HP Calculator and Solver, I realize that I might need some assistance, so here's my list of questions: 1) Should I get the fancy calculator or can the 200LX *really* do algebraic graph plotting like I need it to? e.g. Things like Linear Equations and Inequalities, Quadratic Equations and Inequalities, Linear and Nonlinear Models, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Sequences, Series, Probability, etc. (And, I'm sure, later on, similar, but more advanced functions.) I have a hunch that not only can the HP do it, but it can do it better/faster/stronger than one of those other $50-$200 critters, I've just got to figure out how! So: 2) Can anyone help me out with some tutorial or instruction on using HPCalc and Solver for this purpose? Or, 3) Should I be looking for a DOS program (like Derive?) to do this? Can anyone recommend any easily available freeware or shareware programs for this? 4) Is there any other advice or help that anyone can offer? Thanks in advance, and I hope to be able to return the favor one day.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mike, Greg, I recently acquired a GPS etrex Vista (with built in screen for map displays) and was disappointed not to be able to upload bitmap maps into its 24MB memory. The addition of LXGPS solves that problem even if it makes the whole a bit more difficult to carry arround. A bluetooth connection between the GPS and the LX would certainly help here. For using the GPS as a driving help, I found a _very_ nice utility to download MAPBLAST driving directions into the GPS as a ROUTE. Besides the step by step driving directions that get displayed by MAPBLAST, the WG84 Datum coordinates are hidden in the web page HTML source code. This HTML code can be processed by a MS Word macro (see: http://www.12move.de/home/ehlig/GPS-KOCH-Routefinder.htm the page is in German but Google or Altavista can give a fair translation) and then transfered to the GPS. This MS Word macro could be rewritten into any text processing language (AWK, SED, etc...) and then processed on the HPLX. I tested it, it is very accurate and saves me the cost of buying numerous Garmin CDs to help me find my way arround Europe or the USA. Yet, it would be wonderfull if this MS Word macro processing could be intergrated into the LXMAPBLAST driving direction query ( http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/lxmbdirect.html ) to generate a Waypoint+ text file as an alternative to the plain text driving directions. With WWW/LX and a mobile phone, I could then retrieve that web page, upload it to the GPS and continue my route. I still need to find a DOS application to upload a route from the LX to the GPS. LXGPS does not provide this upload function, GARDOWN seems to crash and GARMIX requires a 80386. Mike, could the above be done by LXMAPBLAST ? Greg, which LX compatible application do you recommend to upload routes to a GPS ?

I haven't checked, but probably StarOffice ecan import wk1 spreadsheets. The most universal format is Comma Seperated Values (CSV or CDF), Lotus can write it, KSpread can import it, but it's only good for simple sheets of course, bsince macros, formulas etc. aren't translated.

I don't know much about the built-in calculator, so I cannot say if it will do what you want, but Derive is definitely the way to go if you want to use the 200LX. Albeit a bit slow in some things, because the 200LX isn't optimized for mathematic calculations, you can do anything you need with Derive. In fact, some TI calculators like AFAIK the TI-89 have Derive as their only ROM software.

Both Lotus and Excel aren't exactly universal (to put things mildly). The only true universal formats for exchanging spreadsheet data are plain text based ones, like CSV (comma separated values) or tab-delimited. The downside is that you tend to loose things like fancy formatting (not sure if formulas are retained, but I doubt it). > What are the "veteran Linux users" on this list doing for file exchange? Trying to use the most portable file format. Text that needs to be edited on other plattforms where the same tools are either not available (like MS Word outside of Windows and MacOS) or not commonly used (like LaTeX on most Windows machines) is best exchanged as plain text. Use HTML if you _must_ retain some formatting. Documents that need only be readable are best exchanged (depending on complexity, i.e. ist it only text, is the formatting important, are there images in it) as either plain text (just simple text) or PDF (formatting, graphics) sicne both formats can be read fine on almost any current system and on a lot of older systems too. I usually avoid using Microsoft defined formats (like Words .doc, Excels .xls, ...) like the plague since those formats: - are usually not fully documented, - can be and are changed whenever a new release of the MS product generating it is sold, - are usually rather bloated, Regards, Alex. -- Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. -- Benjamin Franklin ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 May 2002 07:17:10 -0400 Reply-To: Larry Tachna Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Larry Tachna Subject: Re: backligting kit for 200lx Comments: To: jimmytan@yeos.com.my In-Reply-To: <2861976630@yeos.com.my> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >>really, the *hardest* part is getting rid of the reflective layer. get it nice and warm with a hairdryer that should make the glue nice and soft ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 May 2002 19:22:55 +0800 Reply-To: jimmytan@yeos.com.my Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: jimmytan@YEOS.COM.MY Subject: Re: backligting kit for 200lx Comments: To: Larry Tachna MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I guess I should be careful because LCD's are sensitive to heat, right? ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: RE: backligting kit for 200lx Author: "Larry Tachna" Date: 2002-05-24 7:17 PM >>really, the *hardest* part is getting rid of the reflective layer. get it nice and warm with a hairdryer that should make the glue nice and soft ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 May 2002 21:33:47 +1000 Reply-To: Russell Hemery Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russell Hemery Subject: Phonebook deletion question Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi all I was wondering if anyone has worked around this situation I have a phonebook of approx 1500 records and have decided to browse through and cull the entries I no longer need or are outdated.

I use an SCM SwapBox. It takes an ISA slot and a 3.5" bay. It works perfectly under Win95, Win98, WinNT and Win2k (tested on all these OS) without any additional driver. It should also work under Linux, but I haven't tested it yet. I can insert any PCMCIA card (I tested a Gemplus GPR400 (smart card reader), and the Luna cards from Chrysalis-ITS (crypto cards)).

For stuff like that the connnectivity kit is invaluable - big screen and (very probably unless you retained a genuine XT) much faster machine.

I retrieve the driving directions from a different url and the html output is a lot different, so the macro wouldn't work for me. All I really need is a sample though. If you have already used the macro, if you could send me an example including the source html, and the output, I'll look into it.

I'm not a linux user so maybe I'm off base but I think I'll be surprised if most good linux spreadsheets won't import a wk1 file. There are just too many millions of useful wk1 files floating around for them not to. And it's not a complex format. I once wrote a program to convert wk1 files to something else. I don't remember what. This was 15 years ago. It wasn't a major project. Hardly trivial. But I don't think it took more than a week or two working on it myself. So it's kind of silly for a spreadsheet not to read it today.

I am using the first one on a Xycom 9460 industrial computer - which is a panel mount touch screen with the computer built into an enclosure behind the screen - about the size of the old lunchbox luggable computers. There are no drive bays - so the card mounted unit is what I need there. I plan on mounting this in my truck and using it to hold the data I collect on my 200LX during my work day. I am using the second one on my desktop and use it to transfer data to and from my 200LX and my digital camera. I got a bunch of the parallel port ones at auction - Adtron SDDL PCC is the model number. I wanted to have this for when I visit my family and want to be able to hook up to one of their computers and download pictures from my camera's pcmcia cards. I have only played with it a little - seems like there is a size limit on cards it recognises. I downloaded a newer driver, but haven't loaded it yet.

Pierre, I suspect you are transferring files not using IrDA protocol but it's lower level HPSIR. There's no RTC/CTS handshaking emulation at this level, so it would be the same as using a 3-wire serial cable. Try using XON/XOFF handshaking (use stty?) and/or decreasing the baud rate.

Well... The RSAREF is a library you *had* to buy from RSA Data Security, who held the RSA patent in the US. Now the RSA algorithm has gone into public domain (since september 2000), so the RSAREF stuff is not needed anymore. You're now free to compile the 2.6.3 as the 2.6.3i without any condition.

For me the purpose (and the way I use it) of smtp login is: Quite a few of the ISP providers won't let you use their SMTP unless you dial in at their nodes e.g. CIS, ATTGLOBAL, etc. If you have a couple of those providers, how would you like to control access to the SMTP with POST/LX depending of the DIALIN you selected with WWW/LX. To me it doesn't look like a work around; for me it is a smart way to do it. Maybe SMTPLogin is a relic in any docs which wasn't deleted. Maybe I am wrong? Maybe there are good reason to use SMTPLogin? BTW When you did use SMTPLogin, was your password encoded?

The last problem ("Lotus cell pointer" has not been solved, but it appeared to be unnecessary to do it this way, because it didn't give me the advantage I hoped. I do it now the old way. The problem was to save the old cell position somewhere to be able to jump back later. The aim was to jump to the end of a list, which is growing. I do it now the way I also did it before: Jump to call B2000 (which is definitely NOT in the range of the list), then do {END}{U 1}{D 1}, which takes me into the first empty cell under the last list entry. However, the downside is that only the last line in the list is shown on the screen, and it would be nice if more of the list can be seen after execution of the macro. Just {U 19}{D 19} cannot be done, because at the beginning, if the list is less than 19 rows long, this would place the cell pointer below the first empty field... Okay, emough about that - it's working as it is, and that's good. ==== My next question: I have thought about a solution for a long time now, and as a 1-2-3 beginner, I'm not able to find a solution. I have a list of blood sugar values in column D. Column B and C contain a time stamp for each value. (see http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/lxgluc/lxgluc.zip, if you want to help me and if you have the time!). THe contents of B and C are identical (date / time value), only the display format is different: B: date, C: time. There may be a time stamp without a blood sugar value, i.e. the bloood sugar cell may be empty. What I want to calculate now is the average value of blood sugar test per day. That means, I have to go through the list, count the number of tests which belong to ONE @day-value of the date/time value, and from all of these values, build the average (see example below). Can this be done with a @DAVG-call and a database criterion, or do I have to use a macro-loop and some cells to save values for later reference by @AVG? Another thing I want to calculate is the average amount of insulin per day: Column E contains insulin amounts. Also not one for each time stamp, but a cell may be empty, even if a time stamp exists (example see below). The difficult part for all these calculations seems to be to find out how many different days are in the list. I don't know how to find that out. So, if anyone has an idea how this can be calculated, I'd be very grateful for any suggestion! I hope I have given all necessay details, if not, please ask! And, LXGLUC-users: I'll soon release version 1.1 of lxgluc.wk1 which comes with a MUCH enhanced standard day /week analysis and some other goodies! :-) Thanks a lot daniel Here is an example of such a list: A B C D E DATE TIME GLUC INSULIN 15-SEP 11:45 142 15-SEP 12:36 77 12.0 15-SEP 16:50 5.0 15-SEP 17:48 110 15-SEP 20:13 55 6.0 16-SEP 5:30 78 16-SEP 7:30 12.0 16-SEP 12:00 79 10.0 Average amount of test per day: 3, because: 15-SEP: 4 16-SEP: 2 average: 3 Average insulin per day: 22.5, because 15-SEP: 12+5+6=23 16-SEP: 12+10=22 average: 22.5 -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 17:09:13 +0100 Reply-To: "Brown, William D" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Brown, William D" Subject: Re: "Dumb" PGP Question [DOS version 2.6.2 vs. 2.6.3i] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain << Now the RSA algorithm has gone into public domain (since september 2000), so the RSAREF stuff is not needed anymore.

Hope this helps. (I also asked about the broken link to Texas Instrument (looked like a US distributor) but there was no answer about that.) Hope this helps somebody. avi ======= Avi, we have Derive for DOS v4 in stock. The manual for the DOS version is still the version 3 manual however and will remain so. A commercial single user licence is 79 Pounds Sterling. Delivery to the USA by Registered Swift Air Mail costs 12 Pounds Sterling. So the total cost is 91 Pounds Sterling, which is approximately equivalent to 132 US Dollars. No tax would be charged here but you would be likely to be asked to pay US government import tax went it enters the USA. You might find it most convenient to use either Visa or Mastercard to pay. If you're emailing your card info, you might want to disguise it in the following format perhaps.

Banks charge for currency conversion so this is a more expensive way for you to pay than using your Visa or Mastercard. Our account details are as follows.

I'm not going to use environment variables for the various reasons made clear in your postings. I think overall, Daniel's method of using a dummy file to hold the data in its name is the best, although it probably still means disk activity every time a new program is called and retrieves the data. I was hoping to avoid that, as I want my software to run on anything, which might include a no-HDD system. Floppy activity on every program startup would be very bad. This is also the reason why I didn't just stick all the info inside a profile file in the first place, as Erwann suggested. I'm hoping that DOS might be smart enough to have an in-memory copy of the disk directory after the first disk access, and use that rather than going back to the disk each time I look at the dummy file, but I think I'm being optimistic here. Barry's TSR solution is very interesting too, but a bit beyond this PC-newbie. Thanks again to this incredible list.

Dos does keep a copy of the directory. You can see it on a floppy drive when you do DIR A: it'll take a little time to access the drive. Then do it again and the listing is immediate and the drive isnt accessed again. It does re-read it when you change disks. If you want to force a re-read, do control C at the dos prompt. That's a holdover from CP/M where control C was a warm boot. CP/M didn't re-load. It just re-initialized everything, including re-reading the disk. After a disk change in a CP/M machine, a control C was needed to force CP/M to read it again. That was in the days before floppy drives had disk-change lines.

Not exactly - the [SMTP] section which associates an "smtp server" with an ISP was there before the authenticated SMTP was added.

The message is currently Purged. The message, "Your password", was sent from andrewaa and was discovered in IMC Queues\Inbound located at POCKETPC/THADDEUSNT2/THADDEUSNT2. Naturally I was concerned wondering who else I might have infected. But wait a minute, I don't use Outlook (though I have it installed as part of my attempt to transfer appointments to me REX III). Even if I did use Outlook I don't have ant Thaddeus e-mail addresses in any address books. I haven't opened any strange attachments and have vb scripting turned off. Just to be sure I got the latest virus definitions from symantec and ran Norton AV. I also manually searched for *wink*.* since the virus inserts a "wink%.exe file. Neither approach turned up anything So I put "Win32.Klez.E" into google and found the following symantec site: In the notes I found the following: Because this worm does use a randomly chosen address that it finds on an infected computer as the "From:" address, numerous cases have been reported in which users of uninfected computers receive complaints that they have sent an infected message to someone else. For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer that is infected with W32.Klez.E@mm; Linda is not using a antivirus program or does not have current virus definitions. When W32.Klez.E@mm performs its emailing routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. It inserts Harold's email address into the "From:" line of an infected email that it then sends to Janet Bishop. Janet then contacts Harold and complains that he sent her infected email, but when Harold scans his computer, Norton AntiVirus does not find anything--as would be expected--because his computer is not infected. So my conclusion is that someone has the klez virus and they have both my address and thaddeuas'. Beyond that I'm not sure. If anyone cleverer than me would like to see these messages I would be happy to forward them. -- Andrew King Ann Arbor Michigan technology is the answer, what was the question? > Subject: Possible Virus > Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 20:04:09 +0000 > From: T Matson > > The best we could come up with is someone we both know (since > we had never communicated with each other before) must be > infected - - - and we know the Klez does it own thing without the > infected party being aware ----- so I just wanted to pass the info on > so none of you get infected by chance and maybe possibly run > your virus program to make sure it's not "hiding" on your hard drive. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 23:35:54 -0500 Reply-To: Tim Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tim Subject: Re: Possible Virus In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit "Hey" to all... (That's an Americanism from the TV Show "Gomer Pyle" meaning "Hi, Howdy, Shalom, Velcommen, Bonjour, Hola, Howyadoin'" etc. ). [requesting forgiveness in advance, for any misspellings]. I imagine we can be "calm" ... I don't think the members of this list are likely to get infected (the HPLX list is the "last bastion of smart people in the world" .... Besides too many list members use their LXs or Linux machines to access the list; so most virus payloads "die on the vine"). The bad thing is that we're all still "vulnerable" to attack because other folks know our addresses and send us stuff.... I'll keep this short, but it's based on a personal observation. I've gotten virus messages (3) at work (killed by the corporate mail filter) SEEMINGLY from a chain of folks I might know... I've only had my new work address for about 2 months; there's no "yahoo" listing of this addr., etc. it's pretty "anonymous" and I've only received *one* non-business email. I believe the infected computer got it through ONE email from a friend who used my work email address (only) once, about a month ago. He had something he just HAD to forward to a bunch of people (some urban legend or another .... THAT's another pet peeve of mine, but I'll let it slide for now); THEN those people forwarded it, etc., etc., etc. ... The problem is that most people who need to forward "great advice," "serious warnings," and "chances for free Disney trips" ... just hit "FWD" (a million times) and our poor email addresses get sent along with the message. I don't think the infected messages I got are from that friend, but from someone ELSE in the "to" field in a letter he sent (spammed) to a BUNCH of folks, or from someone further down the chain of recipients. The virus has been emailed from several permutations of address names belonging to his relatives. None of the return email addresses are valid, but they look enough like people I know he's sent email, to have been skimmed from the same "to" field(s). None of the messages seem to be from him; so I don't think they're from him, but they *could* be.... See how notorious email "spoofing" can be? Seems like this latest virus not only "permutates" but swipes addresses from the "sent" mail folder; THEN impersonates look-a-like names from those mass-mailings to _seem_ like they *could* be from people you would know (luckily, I don't "run" unexpected attachments and my anti-virus software snags most such things in their tracks). The actual "infected" computer need not belong to a list member, but someone who's sent email to many people, and/or this list or several members. It seems now even the "sent" folders are fodder for the latest batch of viruses.... Good luck ("And hey, let's be careful out there"), --tim Tim Raymond PS.

The Miniteks are 2mm pitch (same as laptop hard drives and HPLX serial connectors), unkeyed (no dimple) connectors and are fairly cheap, too. I got mine from www.farnell.com and tested them this morning - they fit perfectly (a bit short though) and make a very good connection to the LX. The terminal pins are gold plated (should last a while) and are crimped on to the wire with a pair of pliers. The FCI partnumbers are: Crimps 77138-001 5x2 header 69307-010 And now for the instructions: 1) Get a piece of paper and draw out a wiring diagram for your cable - check it three times and correct any mistakes. 2) Take a piece of 26AWG wire (single core or stranded) and strip about 2mm of insulation off the end of it. Place the wire in one of the crimps like this: \ / -- \ / | Gold plated area |\ /| | DO NOT CRIMP! | | -- | ||| | ---- Wire grip (CRIMP) | ||| | ||| |XXXXX| |XXXXX| ---- Insulation grip (CRIMP) |XXXXX| The wire should be only just in the gold-plated area of the crimp pin. 3) Crimp the wire grip with a pair of pliers - first do it horizontally then vertically until it has a good grip on the metal wire 4) Crimp the insulation grip until it is more or less vertical. Flip the crimp on its side and squash it flat, like the wire grip. Have a look at http://12.30.8.43/fci/datasheet.asp?PN=69307010&FAM=193 - you're aiming for a crimp that looks like that. 5) Push the crimp into the connector housing until it locks. If it doesn't lock into the housing, check the locking tabs are straight. Straighten with an X-Acto or a pair of pliers if not straight. 6) Gently pull on the wire - pull too hard and the wire WILL come out of the crimp. It shouldn't pop straight out - ideally the locking tabs should be exactly vertical and should click when the crimp is pushed into the connector. 7) Add as many pins as you need but don't solder the other end of the wires yet. 8) Push a piece of heat-shrink sleeving onto the connector and wires and heat it until it shrinks around the connector - see http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/ser_plug/way1.shtml. This should give you something to pull the connector out with - pulling on the wires will cause Very Bad Things (tm) to happen. 9) Solder the other end of the wires to whatever you're going to connect them to (DB9 serial connector, modem, other palmtop connector, etc). 10) Have fun with your new connector! Thanks to Daniel Hertrich for the inspiration for this method - this information is freely distributable as long as my name remains intact. Hope this helps someone other than myself :-) BTW, anyone know where (preferably in the UK) I can get a Nokia 2110 or similar phone for my 700LX?

I think this shows that someone who is now or used to be on this list has caught the virus and may still not realize it. I have also been getting a bunch of Emails to that same old address that have a subject and format that look like they are coming from a mailer deamon reporting an undeliverable message.

Not on a palmtop though. I do remember there was a bug in the 95 serial port. I don't remember the details but it worked fine with a few programs but not with a lot of programs. It was pretty well documented in those days. You might see if anyone has that documentation. I remember that on HPHAND there were a lot of docs for it. Some of them might have made their way to super.

Let's see the WinCE devices match that :-) This 1MB unit is in generally good condition, keyboard/screen perfect, but battery cover is loose (secured with a bit of sticky-tape!). No hinge problems. The HPLX has: - DOS capability, enabling access to a massive range of programs, both commercial & shareware/PD. Program it in your favourite DOS-based language! - Usual PDA functions: schedule, database, excellent HP calculator/solver/plotter, memo etc. - Very readable monochrome screen - Good keyboard with separate numeric keypad. - IR and wired serial ports. - PCMCIA slot for SRAM and linear flash cards (a driver is available for some Sandisk ATA cards.) Included are: ***Original Users Manual*** (comprehensive ie.thick!) PC serial-link cable, plus software on 3.5" disk. I can also provide a disk full of various 95LX PD/shareware/info if required.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-2022-JP" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit | Q: What is the Max size/number of entries in a single .PDB? OK, I'm a bit late and catching up. Have the following in my notes, can't remember where I picked it up; anyway: -The 5000 record limit in the data base is something that is in the program code and the file structure. There is no way around the limit, except to divide the records between several files. Records with something in the notes field count as two records toward that 5000 record limit. - The GDB structure contains a lookup table which is an index into the GDB file an can theoretically have 32K entries for database records. Database records can be anything like field descriptions, card descriptions, view point descriptions and most importantly: data records and notes records. Data records are just one kind of database records and notes records are also another one.This structure is documented quite well in this document: http://www.thaddeus.com/ftp/database/100gdb.zip or you can find an extracted copy here: http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/d27802/ The GDB engine in the HP-LX seems to have an arbitrary limitation for 5000 and a few more database records, so this results in the documented limits. This was copied from the FAQ: What are the limits of the Phone Book? A: The Phone Book uses the same database engine as the Database application. Therefore, the limits for each applications are the same. This information is available in the User's Guide on page 4-30. + Maximum size of a Phone Book file: Limited by the available disk space to hold it. + Maximum number of records in a Phone Book file: 5020. + Maximum number of data characters per text field: 1 ? times the visible length, at least 10. + Maximum number of data characters in a Note field: 32 KB, which is about 30 screens of data. + Maximum number of choices in a Category field: 32 choices or 255 total characters. + Maximum number of fields per database: 99 fields. (May be fewer with longer fields) + Maximum number of pages in a database: 4 pages (screens) per database. + Maximum number of subsets in a database: 16. + Maximum number of Category and Note fields per database: 1 of each per database. Article ID: TECH20014 Since the Phone Book application and the other DB applications, especially the Database and Notetaker application are very similar, I assume that this limitation applies there as well. The size of a GDB/PDB/NDB file can be quite large, but it can't contain more than 32K database records or otherwise the GDB structure would break *AND* it can't contain more than 5000 records or otherwise the GDB engine would fail.

We hope to clear up any confusion. This page announces only a simplified lower-cost option for obtaining certain Web site licenses which Unisys has been offering for several years. This new Web site licensing option creates a new, lower-cost, one-time license fee for those interested in obtaining an LZW license for their Billboard and Intranet Web sites. Unisys made this change in response to organizations wanting a simplified Web site licensing plan. > Many Web site operators use commercially > available software which creates GIF images > offline which are then posted on their Web > sites.

The new one-time license fee is intended for those Web site operators who are concerned that they may not be covered by another license. ---------- The paragraph marked above is significant: It basically says to me that if you use a commercial image processor from the list, you are covered by the license of the vendor. So what's the big beef? It feels like this person is making a big stink where there is nothing rotten, and it feels more like an obsessive vendetta than a real case. My humble opinion, which is open to more facts and information... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 31 May 2002 11:04:21 -0700 Reply-To: hplxmail@ALWAYSAFE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Avi Meshar Subject: Re: Post/lx Smtp Login question Comments: To: Tony Hutchins In-Reply-To: <20020531032853.802CAD3524@deborah.paradise.net.nz> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 5/31/02 +1200, you wrote: >I am not sure - I thought 3.1c had been released.

Since I will feel rather lost without my HPLX, Post/LX and cellphone, I asked my GSM provider here in Norway, Telenor, about GSM there. Answer: Telenor have roaming agreament with Microcell Connexions Inc. in Canada. But they, like the US, have GSM 1900 vs our GSM 900 and GSM 1800. They say Nokia and other known brands have phones that will work both here and over there. Important: But will my Nokia 6210 work?? I know I can buy or rent another phone. But I don't like the idea of hazzeling with new cables and configurations. Telenor suggests www.cellhire.com/telenor But I thouht I would start with the brains here.

Telenor itself should know the answer. If the 6210 is tri-band, it probably will.

And otherwise, if I know all participating computers do real 8bit coding, as it should usually be the case when sending an email from Germany to Germany, I can use Umlauts without using MIME. Correct?
