JGRAPH.ASM was written to be assembled with Microsoft C which, when the
".MODEL ...,c" directive is used, pre-pends an underscore to all public
identifiers (function names).  So, before assembling with A86, you probably
need to go through and add an '_' to the front of each of the entry points.

The answer is YES.  One of my friend have also made mistakes while changing
his C:\config.sys to install an ansi.sys.  
He used a card with correct CONFIG.SYS to recover his data in HP95LX.

When boots up, HP95LX searches CONFIG.SYS in A:\ before it searches one in C:\.
So, if you can make correct CONFIG.SYS in a card and insert it in your
HP95LX, your HP95LX will use CONFIG.SYS in the card.  It's OK.

The only problem is how to format a new card and edit config.sys on it.

2M @ $351 ea

prices are ppd cash, but there is a shipping charge, and they take
credit cards, apparently).  prices are slightly cheaper for dealers in
quantities of 3 and up.  Credit, any quantity prices are slightly
higher.

According to their catalog of August 21, 1992, these fit the following
machines: DEC Palmtop, Gridpad Palmtop, HP 95LX, IBM PC Radio,
Momenta Pentop, NCR 3125, Poqet Palmtop, and Sharp PC-3000/PC-3100.
(The IBM, Momenta, and NCR are listed as new.)  They also sell memory
and disk upgrades for laptops.

The SRAM cards are delivered with the battery already installed and
are labelled "CONTROL MEMORY EXPANSION" (which seems to be an OEM for
someone else).

I have no connection with tote-a-lap except as a happy customer.

Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 15:29:43 GMT

I want to write a pc-based application to take a 95 phone book and print
out a text book on a printer.  I have the format outline from the
ftp site, and I've been able to write a program which reads in the phone
book header, and perhaps a quarter the phone book.

The problem is that while all directory programs agree that my phone
book file is around 8500 bytes, all disk dump programs, and all C
functions cease at around 2450 bytes.  However, the filer/view on 
the 95 shows the whole file.

What's the deal?  I suspect that there is an EOF character within the
file.  Is that right?  How can I read past that?  If I can get past
this problem, I'll post the source code.  Thanks.

But They failed. It turns out that the original idea was that
one would be quicker at typing with successive fingers of one
hand, so they split up the bigrams across hands:

t h
w h
q u 
n g
c k

etc.  However, it turns out that it is faster to interweave the
actions of the two hands, so typewriters turned out pretty optimal
anyhow. The fuss over the Dvorak keyboard only turned out to be for a
few percentage points.

a) he was strongly extolling the virtues of the AgendA in repeated
messages to this newsgroup WITHOUT ANY CLUE AS TO HIS AFFILIATION with

the microwriter/BAT he wrote "we" and it raised my "Whatdya mean we,
Paleface?" flag.

b) The mnemonic codes (but not the cute little phrases) are published
in a US patent, which means that you can use them for non-commercial
purposes, such as writing your own microwriter driver using space,
o,p,[ and CR on a keyboard, which might take someone an afternoon.

Anyhow, the Microwriter/Bat has been around for a long time, and many
people DON'T like it, so if a wonderfully rich and insightful company
like Hewlett Packard is interested in a great fast one-handed keyboard
to drive the virtual-reality/heads-up display based personal organizer

I don't know the way to rearrange the keycode<->built-in application mapping.
But changing key<->scancode mapping is very easy task 
if you use INT 15h AH=4Fh.

This is a hook reserved just for this purpose, that is, to translate
key scan code.  

The only thing you have to do is to write a small device driver or TSR
which provide keycode translation function between FILER<->SHIFT+FILER.

New Media is working on it.  Their PCMCIA 1.0 modem is specifically
designed for the HP (and others) and is going through FCC testing right
now.  Active Data and probably others are also working on similar
devices.  One problem with these PCMCIA 1.0 devices is that they adhere
to no standard and so will require proprietary software.  New Media
says they will support {x,y,z}modem, and kermit.  When I asked them
they said they don't plan on supporting UUCP and that they never heard
of SLIP.  It's possible that they might support INT 14 or perhaps
FOSSIL at some point, but New Media didn't want to say if they ever
would.

In the tradeoff between size and features, the one that appeals most to me
is the Zeos palmtop.  It has a standard 80x25 display and weighs 1.3 lbs.
The keyboard is a bit shrunk from standard (0.75 inch) spacing.  From a Zeos

Chill out folks!  I (and presumably others) don't want Johnathan to "go away."
He's had some good information on chording keyboards and the Microwriter
palmtops which are interesting machines.  I'd still consider buying one
(but am waiting for the next wave of machines -- Newtons et al).

Johnathan might have tended towards annoying, trying to make sure his client's
policies are known, but he didn't make the policies.  With any luck, he's
also fed back this group's reaction to those policies and may help lead
to policies we'll find more palatable in the future.

It is rare that we have an industry insider (admitted, at least) involved
in these newsgroups.  Let's not treat them so harshly that they don't bother.

Looks like I was wrong.  Its $496.92 (according to the West Melbourne
