I am at my wits end now. I have tried everyone else but the newsgroup can anyone help me? Andy, Hi, I originally tried to get a hold of Eric Toonen but I couldn't e-mail him maybe you could help me since I know you had the same problem. Here is the letter I was going to send him. I would appreciate it if you could tell me if you found out any useful fix for this: Eric, Hi, my name is Kevin Ackerman and I am a pretty green hp28s user. I have recently downloaded your remote control program for the 28. I ftp'ed the file from 2 sources funic.funet.fi and plains.nodak.edu. After typing the program in, everything went O.K. except for the rc5 program. I typed this in: 'RC5' [7BFA] << IP 128 MOD IF DUP 64 < THEN 12288 ;RC5? ELSE 8192 ;or Extended RC5? END SWAP 64 MOD + GROUP IP 32 MOD 64 * ;GROUP is a variable with the + DUP ; groupcode IF OLD SAME ;OLD is made by RC5 THEN 4096 + END DUP 'OLD' STO 64 * SEND >> The checksum that I got for this was [1463]. I noticed that the file I ftp'ed from plains.nodak.edu had a response after it where another person was having the same problems and got this same checksum [1463]. I looked for a response or a correction to this but could not find it. Could you tell me if there is a correction to this. If not maybe I did something else wrong and I could describe in more detail what I did. I don't know how busy you are but if you have the time I could describe the situation in more detail but I thought maybe you might have a quick fix. Also will this remote control work on just about any ir controlled system or are these groups only for a certain manufacturer. I guess I don't quite have a grasp on the ir standards of the world.:-) Here is the header on the file I found (if it will help): Article 1326 of comp.sys.handhelds: Path: lth.se!sunic!mcsun!hp4nl!charon!cwi.nl From: jurjen@cwi.nl (Jurjen NE Bos) Newsgroups: comp.sys.handhelds Subject: 28S as a universal remote control Message-ID: <1408@charon.cwi.nl> Date: 15 May 90 11:47:34 GMT Sender: news@cwi.nl Organization: CWI, Amsterdam Lines: 719 Thank You, Kevin Ackerman e-mail: kackerma@magnus.ohio-state.edu -- Sincerely, kackerma@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Kevin D.
