Thanks, Bob,

I found that the download link is incorrect. I sent an email to the site
owner.

I figured out that the correct download link is:

http://mwganson.freeyellow.com/MAM/mam130.zip

The free registration script is a Java applet, so you need to have Java
working. My Firefox install on Linux is not working with Java, for some
reason. Thankfully, the now free Opera works without a hitch.

Hi Larry,
I once downloaded the TapeCalc 2 by  Neil J. Rubenking and I think it
is the thing you are looking for.

Raimund



First Published in PC Magazine, US Edition, August, 2002, v21n14
TapeCalc, Version 2.0
Platforms: Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP

License Information:
The programs presented in PC Magazine are copyrighted and cannot be
copied or distributed or modified for any purpose, except that a
single copy may be made for archival purposes only. Use of the
programs is subject to the terms and conditions of the license
agreement distributed with the programs.

Description:
The standard Windows calculator was upgraded between Windows 3.1 and
Windows 95, but it hasn't changed noticeably since then. It offers a
variety of advanced features that most users don't use, like the
ability to enter hexadecimal numbers or take the hyperbolic sine of
pi. Yet it lacks the most important feature found in an old-fashioned
desk calculator: a tape to record the entered numbers and results.
TapeCalc 2 is a practical desktop calculator with a "smart" tape that
records your calculations and lets you correct any errors. Its built-
in unit-conversion feature provides automatic conversion between
dozens of different units of measurement. TapeCalc was written by
Neil J. Rubenking, and first appeared in PC Magazine August, 2002
(v21n14). Source code is included.

As a former beta tester for it, I second Raimund's recommendation :-)
It has some nice conversion routines in it too - eg lightyears to inches :-)
:-)

Unfortunately, PC Magazine utilities are no longer free, but you can get
individual utilities for around $5.00 each or get a three-month or yearly
unlimited license and d/l as many as you want.

(Also, source code is no longer included for any of the PCMag utilities)

Raimund,

Thanks for the information. I do not think the license is free for
commercial use.

Thanks, Carl.

I see what you mean by, "beefy", over 2MB. The license is only free for
non-commercial use, so I cannot use it at work.

I did determine that the one from moffsoft that I found yesterday is
free for commercial use and does just what I need.

Thanks to everyone for all their helpful suggestions!

Alec,
When you say "you can get individual utilities for around $5.00 each or get a
three-month or yearly unlimited license and d/l as many as you want," what kind
of utilities are these exactly.  Years ago I used to pickup free disks at all
kinds of retail stores and PC Mag and others had all kinds of disks that had
maybe 20 or so utilities on them, but I never found many--back then--that were
that good.  Give me an example, if you will, of a few that I can d/l for $5
each.  I may find exactly what I'm looking for.  And where or what is the URL of
the source for the d/l's? Thanks.

Hi Marcelo, and All Others,

I read all your mail and got what I suspected for answers; in
short, firmware and hardware related, HP's customer (Circuit City
in this case), warranty issues, etc. I also spoke with HP support
and searched HP and Phoenix sites, etc. I pretty much came up
with the same stuff as all of you mentioned. The tech support
manager did say he would pass my request on to the development
engineers to see if there was like a Pro version of the BIOS/CMOS
that would work with my laptop. Also, that I would be willing to
pay for it if they had to do say firmware changes and the
BIOS/CMOS Pro version. Well, we know that won't get too far, but
HP support has really surprised me over the years, so I though I
would ask/suggest. <g> More...

The Megatrend was wrong - it is Award that I'm use to. My PQ Magic
version is just too old I think.

I found out that it is a HP/their customer issue, that is, which
BIOS do you want, or how do you want the BIOS configured, etc. I
basically figured out two factors about it. Both end up with as
the bottom line $$$. First, the "pitiful" meaning that is has
about 20 (and I am even counting the time change in hours,
minutes, am/pm, etc as 3 or more choices. In other words, very,
very few configurable options in BIOS. So, few options, less
money. The second is, few options, less support calls from the
user messing around and have to call support to get it up and
running again.

A lot of the stuff can be done in Windows now, but there are
those things that Windows won't allow, or software has to be
uninstalled (and sometimes that doesn't work, because Windows
reinstalls it with no questions asked). For instance, in order
for my mini-RF mouse to work the touch pad has to be disabled, at
least on the laptop I returned. (The HP has a button to push to
disable it.) Windows does not let you disable the onboard
pointing device though and in the BIOS supplied, no devices can
be disabled. I'd rather do it in BIOS than have to have Windows
do it for a slower startup time, if it can be done at all. I'm
not looking for an answer to that, just using it as an example.
Who knows, maybe Start | Run | msconfig has it listed. ;)

>Now, about your notebook... is it a 100 Mb drive (quite old) or a
>100 Gb drive (brand-new)?

LOL! A brain malfunction typo dude! 100Gb, brand new. ;)

So, for now anyway, I'm stuck with what I have, but I've been
finding work-a-rounds here and there.

Thanks for all your contributions!

BTW and FWIW, the guy at Circuit City said, sure, you can change
the BIOS if you want. Back up the original just in case. <g>

Oh, I ended up getting the BootItNG, (recommended by ? on the
list ;) to get my drive partitioned and will probably buy it. I
think PQ Magic is more user friendly, but it is also $30.00 more.
I have tried out a PQ Magic since version 5.

It wasn't me who recommended BootitNG but I'll happily second the
suggestion. It's a decision I'm sure you won't regret. Not only is
BootitNG $30 less than PM, it also has a lot more to offer as you will
quickly find out when you start monkeying with it. I stumbled across it
several years ago and it very quickly became a "must have". A bit like
Notetab really, including an outstanding level of support! Whilst you
are at it, check out Image For Windows / Image For DOS. They complement
BootitNG and if you take the lot as a bundle there is quite a saving.
Using IFW I can back up my Notebook system to an external USB2 drive in
under 30 mins so I now make a habit of taking a snapshot 3 times a week.
I start the process, go for a leisurely cup of coffee, and by the time I
get back it's done.

Alec, I just found that Google has a free accelerator thingie. Optimized

speed some pages up. I don't know, I'm getting a little uncomfortable with
all this Google stuff on my computer so I'll probably get rid of it again
when I'm through testing. Anyway, thought you wanted to know.

My computer (XP Pro) keeps trying to find my printer although it is
turned off. When it can not find it, then I get an error message telling
my that it cannot find my printer. This occurs about every 2 or 3 mins.
Very annoying. How can I stop the computer from searching for the printer?

To my understanding, finishing a XXCOPY order with:
/oNC:\fran\echanges\miroir\franlog.txt /oF2
would log messages into the log file only.

On the opposite, at run time, messages show up on the screen and,
also, are indeed logged into the log file.

The xxtb2926.htm HTML page doesn't show examples of the /oFx usage.

Could anyone tell me where the bug is?

Thank you in advance.

Hi all!

I've gone round and round trying to figure this out.  It's not terribly
important, but it is bugging me.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600.  I want to use an external monitor on it.  I
can get it to work when the laptop is closed, but not when it's open.
I would like to be able to do that.

See, this system doesn't have a PS2 connection for a keyboard, so at this
point, I have to keep the screen up to access both keyboard and mouse.  I'll
eventually find a PS2 to USB adaptor, I figure, to be able to attach both.

I have so many systems at the moment, I want to stack my laptops and use a
flat screen, larger monitor I have.
Any ideas?

And while we're talking, anyone know of a Dell support forum?  I can't find
what I recall to be linked to the Dell web site!
I'm continuing to look..

Thanks,
Christine

I have a monitor output on the back of my Dell Latitude.  Then I can go
back and forth between external monitor, laptop screen and both using
function key (purple) plus f8 or f5 -- I don't remember which.  One will
fry your computer and the other will work like I say.  Just guess right
the first time (just kidding).  I think it is f8, but if not use f5.

Hmmm.
Thanks, Don!
My first thought was .... Purple?
Then I realized I also have a small, unused key with purple letters that
says, "Fn."  I don't think it's phonetic spelling for "Fun," now that I
really look at it.

I'll work with it.

Now if I could just get my stupid computers to talk to each other.  One
doesn't find an IP address, so it's got "limited or no connectivity" (Yet I
can print off the other computer) and the other can see the main computer,
but doesn't recognize the user ID and password.  Kick me.  I really get
frustrated with XP's protecting me from myself.

Ah well.  Rant done!
Christine

Hello Christine

The Function Key (purple fn key) and F4 toggle between video options on my
laptop. The choices are video display on laptop, video on external monitor
or external monitor only.

I have at least a dozen USB to PS2 adaptors, but none the other
way around. Obviously, the Fn keys, etc. are the way to go, but
USB keyboards are cheap. Try pricewatch.com and make sure their
rating is good. Don't worry about 8.0 ratings (when you read the
comments) because people give it a 5.0 and said "their order page
was confusing," "took 3 days to get product" with *free* UPS
ground shipping, they put me on hold for 3 minutes when I called
their free 1-800 number, they sent an OEM product like they said,
but it was in a used cardboard box, etc. (Yes, there are those... <g>)

>And while we're talking, anyone know of a Dell support forum?  I
>can't find what I recall to be linked to the Dell web site!

I would like to know that myself. I have three Dell LCD flat
screens and a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with Windows 2005 Media
Edition. I don't understand why the two cheaper (not Ultra
whatever) LCD 15" and 17" do not have a brightness control. I can
use the nVidia control, but the 15" on my son's game computer
just doesn't look all that great. Two have a Bloody Monster II
(GeForce) 258 MB video card (my Ultra 17" and my son's 15", but
my wife's 17" same as my son's only has a 32MB RAM video card)
and displays much better. I suppose my next thing to do is swap
out video cards with my son's to see if it is the card, but
normally, a smaller screen displays much better than the larger
ones, IMO. Comments welcome?

I'm still in the 90 day Dell support window frame on the
monitors, and have a 1 year warranty on them, and a two year of
the best (tech to site if need be) on my laptop FWIW. Yes,
probably call Dell support. <g> I tried, but they said I need to
call the 90 day support people - like in new purchases, but did
not offer number to their "award winning support." ;) Don't you
just love hunting down support email addresses/phone numbers?!?
<bg> Their on-line chat is only for (hmmm, I forget, but it did
not include me for free - it was a pay thing).

There should be a little "pin button" that gets depressed when the cover
is closed, any way to depress it artificially? Mine is on the top of the

   Subject: [NTO] External Monitors on Laptops


   Hi all!

   I've gone round and round trying to figure this out.  It's not terribly
   important, but it is bugging me.
   I have a Dell Inspiron 8600.  I want to use an external monitor on it.  I
   can get it to work when the laptop is closed, but not when it's open.
   I would like to be able to do that.

   See, this system doesn't have a PS2 connection for a keyboard, so at this
   point, I have to keep the screen up to access both keyboard and mouse.  I'll
   eventually find a PS2 to USB adaptor, I figure, to be able to attach both.

   I have so many systems at the moment, I want to stack my laptops and use a
   flat screen, larger monitor I have.
   Any ideas?

   And while we're talking, anyone know of a Dell support forum?  I can't find
   what I recall to be linked to the Dell web site!
   I'm continuing to look..

   Thanks,
   Christine

Hi -- I'm having trouble opening txt files with NTP though our local
area network. It takes 30 seconds to open small txt files, even when
opening them from within NTP. The other computer on the LAN has no
troubles at all opening txt files.

* Same HP hardware with WinXP Home on both computers.
* Both have NTP loaded.
* Both have Replace MS Notepad activated.
* Used rrNotepad.clb on both to make Replace MS Notepad stick.
* 20 feet of cat5 cable for LAN.

What settings do I need to tweak in NTP, or in XP to correct this
problem?

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Corl

If possible move the fie to be opened to the computer which is opening
it. the problem may be in the process of reading from one computer to
the other.

I know you'd peek! I get kicked off all the time lately and I haven't
received any posts since I last re-enabled my account, so just checking.
Sorry for the noise.

You don't say where the files are located.  Are they on one of the two
computers, or on a third computer?

You don't say whether other programs are having the same trouble.  E.g. how long
does it take to open the same files in NotePad?  How long does it take to copy
the files to your C drive?

Regards, Dave S

I got it.  I find some spam programs send a random bounce now and then
... on purpose and that dumps you off of yahoo until you clear your
bounce history.  The problem is that you have to realize that suddenly
it got quiet.

Hi Dave,

I have two computers on the LAN. NoteTab on computer 1 has no trouble
opening txt files on either computer, but the NoteTab on computer 2
has troubles opening txt files on computer 1. We don't have txt files
on a third computer, yet.

Computer 2 opens Word, Excel, Visio and other files from computer 1
instantly.

I hadn't thought to "Restore MS Notepad", but when I did the same
file opens instantly in Notepad.

The file copies instantly from computer 1 to 2.

Working with files on the LAN is a must.

What answers does any of this suggest? To my untrained eye NoteTab on
computer 2 is looking guilty.

Thanks,
Corl
