Quite so. Just do a binary download of inbound/ir95.zip.

Well, actually, if you want something *real* bad that's in the inbound
directory and you know the name, you can still get it. You just can't do
an ls or dir on the inbound directory.

I like the Psion too.  Unfortunately, it is _far_ more expensive than the
HP95 here in Australia.  There is also a problem with the Psion's "application
keys" which is probably related to the physical construction of the beast - they
get very flakey after a while, especially the ones in the middle.  But the rest
of the construction (case, screen, keyboard) is better than the HP, and the
operating system is _much_ better.

It seems that none of these packages was designed to run on the HP95 which  
means that there are compromises that must be made to accommodate to the  
smaller screen size. I am waiting to see KIV from Lucid which seems to be  
the first PIM specifically for the HP95. I have used Notes95 and it is not  
all that great. I tried Tornado Notes (the precursor to Info Select) and  
found it to be too tied to a larger screen. I am not crazy about having to  
scroll around a larger virtual screen to find things. It would be nice if  
the Info Select folks would make an HP95 version.

I am sorry for the last posting by me I did something wrong!?

I have not tried to extend the memory in an OZ8000 but I have the technical
service paper. According to this there are two different PCBs one for the
OZ8200 and one for the OZ8000. But in the outline of the PCB two extra RAM
ICs are added with luck there might be preparations for extra RAM?

I saw this item in a catalog when I visited a new store  (Franklin Quest).
When I enquired about it,  I was told that Franklin was no longer selling
the unit due to  reliability problems, and it's relatively high
price  (~$800).  

It looked like an interesting unit, so I asked for info on the original
manufacture, which is in the UK.

The referral was to:

MicroWriter Systems
M.S.A. House
2 Albany Court
Albany Park, Frimley
Surrey, GUIS2XA

Phone:  0 276 6920 84     

I have written for information, but have not received anything yet.
Does anyone have an internet address for this company?  Or a US
contact?

I don't know either, so in the meantime I've set up a temporary
archive site.  It's csd4.csd.uwm.edu:/pub/Palmtop/hp95lx.  It currently
contains:
efms95.zip	Everyone's File Management System
ir95.zip	infra-red remote controller
lxfile.zip	yet another file management system
kbd95lx.arc	keyboard remapping program with source
power95.arc	power on time control program

I will put more files there as I get them.  Submissions can be put in
the csd4.csd.uwm.edu:/incoming directory.  Let me know via news or
mail.  This is only a temporary solution and is only for new files,
there isn't enough space for everything from eddie.mit.edu.

As others have noted, files can be gotten from the eddie.mit.edu inbound
directory if the exact filename is known.

There are apparently something in older version of JagMenu and Menu95
that prevent them from working on certain ROM revisions.  At the moment
the new versions of this software isn't on eddie.  It's quite possible
this is the problem.  Have you been able to get any EXM programs to
work?  Are you loading any TSRs?  TSRs can prevent EXM programs from
working due to a bug in the System Manager.

>Anyone a suggestion about how to tackle this problem ? I really like to have

I use the dos.exm program that comes with hp95ctrl.  From the command
line I can run whatever software I want.

Can anybody out there shed any more light on this drawing thing?
Does it export out to any known format like PCX or something?
(I'm sure we'll see translators in due time, but I just was wondering
if there's any sort of native capability like that in the beast)

I'm finding I need a draw function more and more on my palmtop, and if
it did export, I'd seriously consider taking another look at the 9600,
otherwise its usefulness is very little for me.

My experience seems to be that the hp95 has hysterisis so that once the
low battery warning comes on, it won't go away  until the battery
voltage goes above some higher (2.7 volts?) threshold.  Nicads don't
put out enough voltage to push the hp95 over the top.  If I leave
nicads in the machine long enough to get the low-voltage warning, I
need to put regular batteries in first to turn off the voltage warning,
and then I can switch to Nicads.

I just installed Info Select (personal information manager) on my HP95, and
it works like a charm !!! This is the kind of stuff you need on a palmtop.
It lets you enter unstructured notes, and search through heaps of notes with a
few keystrokes. It certainly beats the built-in Memo application.

A few notes for those of you who want to install it too:

   o set cursor tracking off (dispctl -c) --> infoselect displays the time on
     line 25 of the display, you don't want to track to this location every
     minute or so.
   o use Adjust Window and set nr of visible windows to 1 
     (best choice for small screen)

This is undoubtedly the best tool I've ever tried on my palmtop. More so, I
find myself using it about 80% of the time.

PS: InfoSelect is NOT freeware/shareware, but a software product
    developed by Micro Logic Inc.
