The shareware program WizLink from Mark S. Tirschwell for PC <--> Wizard,
under windows is now available from "math.berkeley.edu" anonymous FTP 
server. The files are self-extracting. Download them in your PC and
execute it.

WizLink is a powerful, easy to use application that enables you to
manage the flow of information into and out of the Sharp Wizard.  It
handles all models of the Wizard including the 5000, 7000, and 8000
series units.   WizLinks main features are summarized as follows:

      *    Fast single and batch mode uploading and downloading of
           Wizard application files.

      *    Archiving of any or all Wizard files into one PC file with
           selective un-archiving.

      *    Complete automatic backup of files that already exist befor
           re-creating a new version.

      *    Full editing capabilities on Wizard data files.

      *    Index mode similar to the Wizard.

      *    Extensive Reporting utility that enables sorting on any
           combination of fields and control over the format of the
           output.

      *    Ability to save report parameters so reports can easily be
           re- created.

      *    Import / Export capabilities using -
                -    Standard Delimited Files (SDF)
                -    SideKick Version 2.0
                -    Microsoft Windows Cardfile
                -    Microsoft Windows Calendar

      *    All options are totally user configurable.

      *    Batch Mode processing for sending and receiving data from
           the Wizard without going through any menus.

      *    Context sensitive help windows.

It is actually Poqet.  It is the first (to my knowledge) PC
compatible handheld computer.  It runs MS-DOS (3.3 is built in),
has a full, although small, screen 80 characters wide, 24 (or 25?)
lines, and has a scaled down qwerty keyboard with keys large enough
to almost touch type on.  It runs on AA batteries.

It has no disk drive.  It has a serial port interface.  It is
directly MS-DOS compatible with 8088 based machines and it has CGA
graphics.

Begin Opinion

It has the misfortune to be made by a company that advertises in
the PC press significantly less than Hewlett Packard, which spends
a lot of money on advertising for printers, so that when the HP-95
was released, it and not the Poqet was hailed by the press as the
first of a new breed.  I don't own either but I have used both and
I can't find a feature, specification, or category in which the
HP95 exceeds the Poqet.

Why, thank you. I didn't know that such a simple request would engender
someone going out to build me a little TSR that does it. A better question
is whether this little TSR could be generalized easily to remapping the
application keys as I'm sure that would probably be much more useful to

Subject: Chip bug?  Anyone seen DMD1 bit 31 not freeze?
Date: 24 Aug 92 03:17:52 GMT
Organization: Computer Science & Engineering, U. of Washington, Seattle


I'd like to know if any of you know about a chip bug that might cause
an error in the data read from data memory unit data register 1.  We
are running the Mach 3.0 kernel on a Motorola MVME188 with 64 MB of
memory.  I don't know the chip rev level, but I think the systems are
at least two years old.  The test code is just 5 instructions!

Here's the test code:

dacc_handler:  
	<save r1 in an sr reg>
	or.u	r1,r0,0x8000	| chip bug is sensitive to bit 31 being set
	st	r1,r0,0xfffc	| we think this store sets bit 31 in DMD0
	ldcr	r1,DMD1		| load the register that has the problem
	st	r1,r0,0xfff8	| store it so that we can see it later

The value in 0xfff8 (i.e., the value loaded from DMD1) has bit 31 set
when it shouldn't.  When we change the "or.u" to put 0 or to put
0x40000000 in r1 before storing it, the DMD1 register has the correct
value (0x67fe0030) .

The dacc is happening while the machine is executing a bcopy loop in
user mode.  We ran the test several times both ways and it failed
consistently.  We tried it on CPU's 1 and 2 with the same results.
Only one CPU is active at a time.

Here is the contents of the DMU shadow registers.

	DMTx		DMDx		DMAx
DMx0	0x0000003f      0xc0000001      0x003f6000 	<faulting store word>
DMx1	0x0000003f      0xe7fe0030      0x003f6004	<pending store word>
DMx2	0x0000037d      0x00000000      0x02f330e0	<pending load word>

(the correct value of DMD1 should be 0x67fe0030)

My theory is that there is a chip circuit failure that affects the
ability of the latch that is DMD1 to retain a value in bit 31.  Instead
of latching a zero as long as shadow registers are frozen, it will let
a 1 in in the register that it shadows set itself.

Since the machine is handling an exception, interrupts are off and
shadow registers are frozen.  Everything else having to do with the
trap handling seems fine, so we are pretty sure that shadowing
generally is not messed up.

I would blame it on a simple chip failure except that other CPUs (in
the same box, however) have similar behavior.

Thanks for help that you can lend.

Yes, but beware of programs that are system-dependent in some way and
are not transportable, such as those that use system (/usr/include/sys)
header file values that differ between Series.  /etc/swapinfo is an
example, but it does check and prevent execution on the wrong Series --
most programs won't.  For example, /usr/bin/sam probably won't.

It is possible to display more than 256 colors with CRX-24.  However,
whether this will help you or not depends on several things, such as:

1) what is the format of the images you want to display?  xwd?  jpg?
2) what tool do you intend to use to display the images?  xwud?  xv?

The basic problem is that most "standard" tools used to display images
are not very clever about X visuals -- they generally use the default
visual.  On the CRX-24, the default visual is an 8-bit PseudoColor visual
with 255 available colormap entries (the last entry is reserved for
transparent).  If you're running mwm or Vuewm, quite a few of these
colormap entries will already be consumed.  So, a tool like "xwd" will
probably create its own colormap to display a 256-color image.  Some
other tools, like "xv" for example, are smarter about using colors and
do their own dithering, so they may be able to display two "256-color"
images simulaneously without having to create extra colormaps.

If you're developing your own tool to display images, your best bet 
would be to use the 24-bit DirectColor visual on the CRX-24.  This is
not the default visual so your tool will have to be smart enough to
see which visuals are available and seek out the "best" one (probably
the 24-bit DirectColor one in your case).  If your tool does not
initialize the 24-bit DirectColor colormap to some weird ramp, there
should be virtually no limit to the number of images you can correctly
display at the same time.

Subject: HPUX Device Driver
Organization: S-S Technologies Limited, Kitchener, ON
Distribution: na
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 1992 20:24:44 GMT

I am writing a kernal level device driver that interfaces to some
hardware that does not support interrupts for the HP9000 series 700
EISA bus.  It is necessary that a watchdog timer on the hardware be
kicked at least once every second or the interface will shutdown.
To do this I have implimented an ioctl within the device driver that
does the appropriate timer reset, does some housekeeping, and then
does a timeout() per DDG.

By doing some stress testing where we have the system do some tape
backups, as well as communications to the device driver we believe 
that the watchdog timer doen't get reset in time.
We currently have the timer reset every one-half second, so that 
seems like a long time for the driver to be scheduled to run.

Questions:

1.  Do we need to raise the priority of the task that starts the
	ioctl in order to execute within our required time frame?

2.  Is it possible that tape activities could be locking us out
	for such a long time?

3.  Should we set the processor interrupt level higher 
	(ie. use spl5() ) prior to doing the timeout?

4.  Any other ideas?

Thanks for any help.

on our 730. The drives, purchased from R Squared, came
with hpux installation instructions. The only problem I
had was due to some incorrect disk tab values provided by
R Squared. I would suggest buying drives from someone,
such as Michael Lampi at R Squared(206-883-3116), who
is familiar with HP equipment.

Help!! Can anyone tell me how (and what, if any, software I need for the 
HP3000) to transfer files under Kermit from the HP3000 to a Macintosh 
using Reflections.

Thanks
