I went to bdicty. purchased the medical encyclopedia, medical dictionary, medical acronyms, for the ...i forgot if it was the palm or the windows. anyway, i extracted the files from the zip (its zip and not the exe)and placed them in qtpalmtop directory under bdicty on an sd card. the software (an old one)bidicty can use the files off the sd card. The only problem i have with it is number values. It will not tell me normal range for eldery is 97 degrees and therapeutic fever is not over 100.3 degrees f. it has no font for numbers.

now for the drug guide, i have 2 of them. one of them i had to make hand made and redirect the links on an html (took me 30 minutes) the other one was already set. I just looked for index.html and started from there.

if you have msn messenger, i can get with you on msn and i can kinda help you debug your stuff. not sure what drug guide you are using.

msn messenger is cresho@hotmail.com

i bought the prentice hall drug guide and am able to view it in opera on my zaurus. there just seems to be one font missing. i haven't tried anything with bdicty yet. do you know how to install missing fonts?

is there an easy way to take a screenshot?

the font that is missing is the font following "Classifications:" in the red box for each drug monograph. in the drug book it appears like a small all caps font in Times Romans. All the other fonts appear fine.

Fn shift c

Okay, here's the screenshot of Phenytoin. Notice the squares after Classifications.

And, here are screenshots of my start menu. I've lost my normal font and am getting this "garbage" in my start menu, taskbar and clock. This is maybe a problem with Cacko, which I've had installed for at least a month and have not had any problems with.

Before this garbage font showed up, I rotated the screen. I rebooted and the garbage font went away.

So..if I open the Prentice Drug Guide with my screen rotated--the keyboard is not available--the garbage font goes away and I can read the drug classification. To take a picture I had to use the keyboard. The screenshot switched to the landscape screen, but the drug classification is still in a readable font.

Without shutting down or rebooting, I tested it again with the screen rotated to clamshell mode--keyboard is available--and the garbage font returns.

I read in another post, that rotating the screen will give you garbage fonts. Seems like I'd have to go back into my font library to find out if something is missing in the "code". For now though, I think I'll just have to use the drug guide using handwriting. Unless, there's a quick answer.

Can you recommend a good Linux tutorial?

I need to ask you some questions.

are you using cacko 1.23? and does the menus look like that by default? then it is a font issue.

ill post a pick on here because it looks way different than that... mines looks way better.

yes, i am using cacko 1.23. the menu looks fine now. i rebooted, and all the normal fonts reappeared. if i use the drug guide with the keyboard closed, i can view all the fonts in the drug guide. you should be able to see that from the fourth picture that i posted.

first off---"Could not open file
file://localhost/usr/mnt.rom/cf/Prentice CD/DGData/frameset/home.html"

.....remove all spaces and capital letters and see if it works...(including changing the folder names.

cacko uses a dif set of fonts which disables the originals. You may need to go back to stock and try my ipk installer which translates it to english and my method of installing opera 7.30

I can also send you my cd if you preffer for testing purpouses since you own an updated drug guide....i dont have a problem. Im curious since i was about to update mines myself if it is a font issue.

2 problems....font based or java based. the script dictates how to present the file. Maybee i can modify it so it will display a higher res font instead of the lower one. I am not sure..just thinking around.

Let me know what you think and if you want to try cd...could be that script.

I don't understand. Are you talking about your own CD files?

So your method of installing opera 7.30 would involve going back to original Sharp Rom 3.10 or 3.13 and then installing Opera? Why are you still using the original Sharp ROM?

I'll send you a copy of the CD.

You're right. Your screenshots look way better. But I'm not going for looks here. I'm lucky if I can just keep my Z functioning.

thanks... i got the files. i have clinical at a hospital today at 9am to 11pm(need to study pathophysiology, drugs, iv's before hand). Taking care of 3 patients. Ill work on it friday.

So far, everything works on my pda. no font problems at all with my current setup. Ill look into cacko on friday morning and find out why it isnt working. It is a font issue probably asking for a size that doesnt exist. I glanced at the ".js" files but it just locked up my pc. Pretty big. Ill try another software friday morning while i work on the 2 new themes for cacko.

updated.........i can now view it. Looks simple...now its all about trial and error.

i've been using it in the hospital, and have discovered that if I click the button on the taskbar to fit all the text into one viewable window, the funny font goes away and I can read everything.

it's probably not a Cacko issue. thanks for your help, and enjoy the updated drug guide. i find the drug guide very useful and not too lengthy. are your medical references useful when you're on the floor?

I just wanted to give your attention to this site: It has a lot of databases of medical information. I suspect that a lot of it can be used on our little Zaurus!

Some of the instructors let me carry the device around. when i am in a bind, i just pop it out and the 2005 is much faster than the 2006. I use the encyclopedia to view information like pneumonia, CVA, TURP, GERD...etc. it just gives me a overview and not an in depth. Good enough when i am picking patients for next day. I frankly use 2-3 books for making careplans and such.

good luck and i think you missed my last PM.
