Motorola NewsCard paging rcvr
Kent Nyberg
Greetings.
I am wondering if anyone has any information on paging receivers that are
compatible with the HP palmtops. I know that Motorola has just come out
with a PCMCIA pager-card that seems to be good. It has 128k of memory on
board, and it has it's own power supply so that it will receive and store
data even when not installed.
I guess my real question is, what kind of software is available to make
such a device useful? I am interested in being able to transfer files
and, more importantly, to receive my E-mail.
I will be getting one of the Motorola devices soon, so I will be looking
for ideas. I work for a paging company, so I will have a little freedom
to play around with it.
Thanks
Kent

Hello,
I successfully built my own serial printer cable so that my 200lx can talk
with my old dot-matrix Epson EX-800 printer. I can now use the print command
in the Filer and Lotus 123 to print text. My question is, how can I print
the Lotus 123 graphs? I tried printing the Lotus 123 *.PIC file but only
got garbage. Any ideas, please throw them my way.
Cliff

: My question is, how can I print the Lotus 123 graphs?
I print to an Epson RX-80 from my 100LX using "Fn-Prt Sc" after displaying
the graph.
Hope that answers your question.

Thanks Ted. Like a lot of answers, this one came to me shortly
after I sent out my question. I am still wondering what use the
Lotus 123 *.PIC files serve. Is there a way to print these directly
without having them displayed and then doing a screen dump?

An Advisor with an I/P address? Please do tell!! How do you do it, and
how long have you been doing it? I think I have already convinced my
boss to get one of these new Motorola devices (he's getting a notebook
computer and is interested in the technology too).
I won't tell you who I work for if you don't tell me who you work for. :)
In what market do you work?

Cliff,
I use an IR interface to connect to my printer (an HPlaserjet)
but the details are the same. when the lotus graph is on your
screen, press Fn-0 or, in other words, the print screen key.
The graph will print on the printer.
Hope this helps
Geo.

I omit the articles on the subject to save traffic.
I guess the problem is that 1-2-3 is only partly integrated into HP.
Originally, 123 includes the start shell which offers a choice
of "Print graph" as well as Import file from different formats.
Print graph prints .pic files.
All add-ins are also omitted. However, I use bsolver, auditor and
viewer from desktop version of 123.
Auditor and viewer are loaded at 123 start up.
.adn files and the other parts of add-in's are to be placed
in c:\_dat. Somehow, 123/hp searches all system files there.
Why the 123 is not more closely integrated with other applications
in exchanging information is still another question.
Maybe somebody knows, is there a way to make HP100 applications see
LPT1 created by interlnk?
with best wishes

Could you bounce any info on this device and other wireless PCMCIA
supported items/services (in US & Canada) to me via e-mail so I can do an
update for my Zaurus Web page? I'm in the process of collecting info on
different approaches to wireless communications and uses of PDAs to give
out to Zaurus users (and other PDA users) and also to prompt Sharp into
supporting such items (by releasing a SDK) to increase the functionality
of their equipment.
Thanks in advance.

you can copy the .PIC files to that system and print them with a Lotus utility
whose name I have forgotten. Later releases of Lotus for Windows have lost this
ability, by the way. I created a bunch of graphs on my HP100LX in Lotus, then
went to Kinko's to print them out. The .PIC files were useless; I ended up
importing the spreadsheets into the Windows Lotus (it was either 4.x or 5.x)
and printing the graphs from there. They do import correctly and the default
settings worked fine. I did have to change the formatting of the grid lines to
get camera-ready (Xeroxable) pictures, but other than that it was a simple
process.

Printgraph was that part of 123 way back when, even older than 2.4 as well.
