Problems with the Translate Utility in the Connectivity Pack
The Translate utility can translate between the HP 95LX and three other formats:
Lotus Metro; Borland Sidekick Plus; and Central Point PC Tools Desktop. The file
to be translated must be located on the PC, not on the HP 95LX.
You can also translate any file in the Conventional Data Format into the Phone
Book ( « PBK) format. For example, dBASE files can be saved in CDF format and
then converted to the Phone Book. However, the dBASE CDF file has an end-of-
file marker (a la [CTRU-{Z)), that will prevent successful completion of the transla-
tion. You need to remove the end-of-file (EOF) marker from a CDF file before you
attempt to translate it. Some text editors will allow you to remove the end-of-file
marker—and DEBUG can be used as well. A handier solution may be found using
the small utility STRIP .EXE, downloadable from the HP 95LX Library on
CompuServe. Or, finally, the A/ switch on the DOS COPY command can do the
trick (see page 144).
