But I thought any doc file stored on the handheld is automatically a Palm-doc file?! Or does it work like the MEMOPAD files which are just plain text?

Does using the "pub <filename>" command allow one to upload an edited HTML file onto the server, and allowing others to view the file from their PC web-browsers, as well as Palm-based browsers?

It seems as though the pub command just uploads the file as-is so if the file is a memo it is just a plain text file so it can be html as well.

I think it was trying to transfer in ASCII mode and jpeg's are binary so that may have been my problem.

Sorry to start a thread and disappear ... but that was my intention in a way!

Monday, in the midst of Disney's Animal Kingdom, I uploaded an update to:the New Tribes Mission web site

Using LFTP with Torpedo, you can export HTML to Memopad. There, you can see the file, but with the file name at the top, as in, in my case, "btext.htm"

When you use LFTP (OK, here's part that's cogent to the discussion here) you do NOT use "pub <filename>," but rather, "pubm <filename>"

Somehow (and I am not a programmer), LFTP is set up with Torpedo to use pubm to look in Memopad, interpret that first line as the file name, and upload the rest.

Perhaps that will be of help in posting JPEGs -- I'm very interested in that as well.

This is such a cool thread!

Ashmed,
The 'jetsend' app SENDS your .jpgs to your visor by ir??

Does the app come with any/every HP digicam?

This is really something that I didn't know could be done. How fast/slow is it?

Does your hp uses smc or cf? This would help if someone didn't have a memplug or if the media was the opposite.

PalmScape

Is the version of PalmScape supplied with Torpedo a demo or pukka version?

I've already licensed PalmScape, but if it's a full version it's cheaper getting Torpedo with PalmScape ($12.50) than buying PalmScape directly ($29.95)!

Yes it sends using the IR port using HP's own Jetsend protocol.

Doesn't come with anything. HP wrote it for palm os and i guess hardly posted it. I was lucky to find it in some obscure corner of the internet.

It takes about 30 seconds to send a 52k file, but you can't view the file on the handheld, although HP says that it can convert to fireviewer.(it crashes as it sends if you have this setting turned on)

You can beam documents, it comes with a special version of all the built in apps including memopad(if my memory serves me) and when I first downloaded jetsend I tried sending something from memopad and it seemed to send a screenshot not the text. I didn't spend a lot of time figuring it out so I'm not sure right now.

I found the program on some far corner of teh internet. Is was on a foreign download site like tucows. Visorvillage has it on there's but the link was dead a few months ago(haven't checked recently). If you want, I could probably post it on my website for download or email to ya(of course without warranty). Also, HP doesn't know that they even made the program. I spent 45 min on a long distance call to HP customer service and the guy didn't even know that you could use jetsend outside of cameras and printers. He even denied that they made one for pocket os (the only pda version you can find info on from their website) and of course palm os.

Speaking of customer service, I got a call back from some company that HP pays to get info on how good their CS is. I took the survey(I NEVER take survey's over the phone) and gave him terrible scores, he didn't even try to get a supervisor!

Ashmed,

Thanks for the information on JetSend. Actually, if you wouldn't mind posting it for download, or let me know how I can contact you privately, I would appreciate it!

Have you tried the Palm OS version yourself? Does it work well?

Ok, I'll post it sometime today and i'll put the link on here. I use the palm os version. Make sure that if you're sending images to the visor that you have the "view on device" image setting NOT checked, otherwise it won't send at all.

Supposedly the view on device feature is supposed to convert the jpegs to fireviewer format. But it doesnt seem to work at all. I guess cuz the readme says it ONLY supports palm os version 3.3. Not 3.1 or 3.5 .. but you can still send jpegs.

Can I upload files using IrDa via my digital phone?

Do you mean that it's possible to send pictures from the Visor to the printer? If I had EyeModule or FireViewer images, is it possible to print them out? If so, how do you go about doing it, since there is no "print" option in either program.

Oh well I guess.. It's no longer on my webserver anyways.. I've seen that page before. It's a bummer that a company just stops using something like JetSend
