I'm using the general DataBase application to keep track of users who have registered my VR and FCL shareware programs. This enables me to quickly provide users with registration serial codes. I also have DataBase files to organize photos, TV channel frequencies, books, etc.
I also use Langenscheidt's German/English dictionary for DOS on my HP 100LX It is small (about 1.2MB for both German/English and English/ German modules) and works very well - I have it installed in AppManager with a memory requirement of 150K. The Palmtop makes it available at the touch of a few keys. (While both translation directions are included in the program, the manual is in German)
As a programmer, I need technical reference material a lot. I'm using the ExpertHelp Hypertext system on my 100LX to access existing databases in the "Norton Guide" format. (The Norton Guides from Symantec is a hypertext program making available volumes of cross-referenced information to programmers. ExpertHelp can read Norton Guide data files.) It should also work on the 200LX. However, even though it is a TSR program, it cannot pop up over System Manager. It must be installed in non-TSR mode in AppManager or used in non-TSR or TSR mode with System Manager terminated or from System Manager's DOS shell. ExpertHelp may even work on the 95LX from DOS, although I have never tried it.
I have guides for 80x86 assembly programming, Borland and Microsoft C, the CXL library, 'Interrupts and Ports,' 'Programmers Reference,' etc. I also regularly update the Norton Guide for PAL, the 'Palmtop Application Library' project that is being carried out in section 15.
