@@batteries
NiMh are availabe at radio shack. There are (2-AA) chargers (GE, et
al) that are small and slim like the LX adapter with folding prongs,
and most important and convenient of all they shut off automatically
especially for the MimH.
These showed up in the local RS stores last December. Bought a pair
then, and used 'em for about 6 months before going back to the RS
hi-capacity NiCads. I actually got only about 70% of the time I had
with the Nicads. (From the 1200 mAHr rating, I hoped for about 45-50%
more). Hope you get better results than I had. 8-)
Some battery types are better than others, or in the case of my NiMH
batteries I interrupt the FAST charge and restart charging after six
hours to get the maximum life...

infile isn't already compressed, xine will compress it to outfile. If
infile is compressed, xine will expand it to outfile. CAUTION: Don't

@@Flashcard
PCMCIA flashcards are like big hard drives to the HP200, they work
well with card readers, parallel or built in.
Simple Tech high-capacity cards? If so, they're great. I've been
using a 160MB card for a few months now, and it's just fantastic.
The only trouble is that with a card of this capacity, it takes the
cardBios client in the 200LX 2-3 seconds to recognize the card when
you insert it.

The 200LX supports ATA flash and compact flash card with the
drivers built into ROM.
Those Intel cards are a different kind of flash memory. They
use the Flash File System (FFS) type of interface and drivers.
There is no native support for this in the 200LX. I think
you can use the FFS cards with a special driver loaded into
RAM.

Vim can do the windows (^w^n) and more! Of course, Vim's much bigger,
which is probably why you choose xvi. I didn't like xvi for some reason
- it was probably the `feel', and that I'd rather have just the two extremes
of vim and calvin.
Anyway, each to his own.
xvi sounds really good! wonder why I didn't like it?
Cheers,
Brendan

Hi - YES!
I use an APEX Data (Smart) Clipper Com World V.34 Data/Fax Modem
33.6/14.4kbps with my 200LX/2m & Startac 85596A phone
With It I download the days email (50~80 items from this list) on
batteries (1300MaH NiMh)
I have cut down the celular cable to 6" & the landline cable to only
1" which makes them very portable
I carry my 200lx in a Covertec case for Psion3 that has great belt clip
that clicks on/off and a "slide" that holds the modem card & cable which
slips in the case behind the 200LX under an elastic strap. Try one from
a Psion dealer.
I have an autoexec on C: for the modem and simply plug it in & reboot
-Note that you need the cellular cable plugged in to the card to set
it in cellular mode
Then start GP, plug in the phone (off), turn on phone, wait for signal,
dial (you see number run across the Startac display) Its easy & reliable.
Cheers

>of a source for a 100,000+ word entry dictionary available anywhere>
I also wanted a dictionary and had to search the web every weekend for
3 months to find a used copy of the American Heritage Dictionary for DOS
($14.95) at ECHO software. I could find no source that had them in stock.
I called and emailed several software houses and the advice I got was always
the same ... keep looking. I tried JORGE and didn't find it comprehensive
enough for my needs. I am still on the waiting list at several used
software shops and if I get a call about an available dictionary I will post
it to the
list.
On a different track .... I downloaded the WINDI7 language dictionary from
www.windi7.com. the DOS (smaller file size ... fewer words) version is
free. As I found
myself using it a lot I bought the full windows dictionary with all the
bells and whistles. After setting it up on my desktop I found that the full
sized windows
dictionary files were exactly the same format as the free dos files but had
many more words. I copied them to my HP and now have a 45,000 word dos
based dictionary for translation on my palmtop.
