Hi,

  Burrowing thru Archie turned up some MSDOS utilities that work
with the hp95lx very well !

1. PGREP .... Only 9866 bytes. A very small grep/egrep which
   works pretty well.

   Does not support [a-z]*, but almost all other feature of egrep
   reg exps are supported !

2. RDISK20.ZIP ... a very neat and small RAMDISK. It installs and
  deinstalls without rebooting, so thats a great boon.

  When I run out of disk space for temporary files, I escape to 
  dos with dos.exm, start ramdisk with 10 to 360 KB, and continue with
  my application.

  The TSR part deinstalles cleanly, so thats a very good point.

  Its a good idea to open all EXM applications,have files open
  and then start ramdisk. Otherwise memory fragmentation is likely.[:w

3. ATTRIBCR.ZIP ... a very small and tidy chmod.

   Only 1012 bytes, and yet supports not only +-rhsa options
   but also +-wvub, as conveninent antonyms. For eg.
   attr +w and attr -r both turn off the read-only bit, or enable
   writing, depending on how you look at it.

   I have renamed the com file to attr.com

   (The one on eddie never seemed to unzip properly)

4. FIND ... oh well .. this is a zero-ware ! 
    chkdsk /v is equivalent to 
    find . -print, so I did not find any need for another
    file find program.

   chkdsk /v | pgrep file works very well indeed

5. CDTO ... Finds a file in the disk, asks and does a CD to that
   directory.

6. PhoneBook as a database .. there have been a couple
   of other posts on this subject. Neat idea.

7. MIN4TH25.ARC  ... a very small tight Forth langaaged.
   This kernel and user code takes only 4.8k. I am keeping
   it. ALso I have entered in a database of all FORTH
   words, so that's an online manual too!

I just installed IR95 and was impressed by the functionality, ease of
use, and the nice PCX screen layout.  Tests on the Panasonic TV we have
at our institute show that IR95 works very well indeed.  So, I have now
a working PANASO.KIR file.  The remote control for my SONY TV at home
broke the day before Christmas Eve (which, incidentally, is the day we
celebrate Xmas in Sweden), and now I am looking for a SONY.KIR.  Anybody
want to share with me?  I don't know much about the various pulse coding
schemes, but I would assume they are not too unique, and that there
exists only a limited number of families of them.

Hi. I hve a few questions.  I don't own a palmtop computer, but I am
intrigued by them.  I am interested in a palmtop which has a good
Mac compatible word processor. I know the Psion3 does have a word
 processor which can use Mac files.  However, I am wondering how well
it deals with documents which are formatted to have 80 characters per line,
opposed to the 40 or so which is visible on the Psion screen.  Does anyone
know of a palmtop which is better for word processing Mac files? Are there
any palmtops now or in the near future thathave backlit screens so they
can be used in low lighting?
 
Also, I am looking for a "Casiolink for the Mac" cable: FA-130, version
2.0 or higher.  I want to use it with a pocket organizer I got. I am
pretty sure that is the same cable used for Casio BOSS organizers, so
if you have one youd liked to sell, please let me know.
 
Thanks
David

I've just got an acknowledgement of the receipt of my disk from the author
of IR95 in Germany. I should have a copy of IR95 in about two weeks time.
The author has made it clear that I can post it up on the ftp sites so I
will do that as soon as I get my copy.

Subject: Util to set power on time of 95LX (No, dates no supported)
Summary: power on off HP95LX
Keywords: power on off HP95LX
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1992 19:58:54 GMT

Here's a small utility to set the power on time of the HP95LX.
When set, the 95LX will power itself on at the given time.  What it
does after that is up to you.  It may be most usefull in batch files.

Distribute freely for free.

NOTE:  When $sysmgr is active, the power on alarm is set at midnight, or
possibly other times when appointment book is active.  Power95 will let 
you set the time to something else and thus may screw up the $sysmgr 
stuff.  (Run if from Filer and see for yourself.)  Use at your own risk.  
Not a TSR.  Could be more useful as is being discussed here and now but 
I though some might find it useful as-is.  Use at your own risk.  Should 
be okay in good old DOS mode.  Use at your own risk.

Comments to:  nara@taimyr.colorado.edu

Usages:

power95 ?
power95 clear
power95 set
power95 hhmmss
power95 off

?      tell you the status of the alarm.
clear  turn the alarm off.  (will not change the alarm time)
set    turn the alarm on w/power on.  (whatever time it was set to before)
hhmmss hour to set the power on alarm in 24 hour format.
off    turn the 95LX off (through software, when powered back on,
           power95 will exit)

(actually only the first char of clear/set/off is recognized/used)

e.g.  in a batch file:

power95 060000
power95 off
play rooster.ub

This will set the power on time to 6am, turn the machine off, at 6am,
the machine turns on and plays the rooster sound file (available at a
ftp/bbs site near you).

I had a similar problem. I managed to solve it by explicitely stating the

I posted a similar thing about 6 months ago when I was dreaming about

a Psion Series 3S and am wondering if anyone has one, but doesn't have a
PC.  Is there anyway to transfer data (spreadsheet, database) to/from
something other than a PC or Mac (oh, I don't know, maybe something
like, uh... a SPARCstation :-).

If anyone has had experience living with a Psion 3 without owning a PC,
please let me know.  (A $1,500 P.C. would be an expensive peripheral for 
the Psion).

Although I've seen terminals like you describe most of them were over
US$1000.  They are typically made for the diagnostic/testing market and
so tend to be rather expensive.

You can get an MS-DOS palmtop for a bit more than $500.  Here's a list
of some such machines:

Why is this a pain?: [Appt] [Menu] View/Monthly-Repeat/Position [F8] then

There is also repeat by date.  I've never used it myself, does it work properly?

terminal should be no more than $200 - $500 in quantities of 1.  I don't
need a comuputer - I just need a terminal.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

You can set up as long a duration as you like, no need to stop
after a year, that's just the default. However, your .ABK file is
going to get awfully large if you set it up years in advance.

Since I'm at home right now, I must say I fully agree with you.
Four pages of "useless" text (well you know what I mean) at 2400 baud is a
real crime (and I'm lucky: I use to have a 1200 baud modem).

Best wishes for next year!

I need help with two problems!

Well, this week is week 53 according to weekabk! With buddy also installed
if I leave this week and try to return I get the message that 53 1992 is an
invalid week and I should hit ESC to return. But when I hit ESC all I get is
a beep. The only consistent way out seems to be menu-del which closes all
apps. If I remove buddy, I still get the invalid week message but my ESC key
works properly. Any ideas?

I also seem to occasionally have a nonresponsive keyboard when I first
power up. This only seems to happen if I have the password set and the LX
has been idle for quite a while. Usually the first 5 or 6 keystrokes are
ignored than everything works fine. Any ideas?

In addition to buddy I have been using CED. Thinking that might be
contributing to the problem I switched to STACK and this didn't seem to
make any difference.

Thanks,
John

With the optional S3 Serial 3 Link you can transfer files between
anything that has a serial port and supports XMODEM or YMODEM. It is
also possible to do a plain ASCII transfer.
