The LX tools are a set of utilities for Linux (and other Unixes)
that allow you to access files on your HP100LX or HP200LX palmtop
computer via a serial line. You don't need any additional software
on the palmtop. The LX tools talk with the Filer application on
the palmtop. On the Linux system, simply enter commands such as
lxdir c:/_dat
to see the directory contents of the palmtop's C:\_DAT directory,
or
lxcopy c:/_dat /usr/backup/hp/_dat
to copy all files in that directory to your backup directory on
the Linux system.
The LX tools are freeware and come in source form. You need
gzip and tar to unpack the archive and a C compiler to compile
them. And of course you need a Linux system and a cable that allows
you to connect your palmtop with the Linux system.
The LX tools are available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.ics.uci.edu in directory /pub/garzotto/palmtop as lxtools.tgz
or
sunsite.unc.edu in directory /pub/Linux/Incoming
from where they will most probably be moved to
sunsite.unc.edu in directory /pub/Linux/apps/comm
