RPN for Palm OS Message #1 Posted by R.J. Bied on 13 Aug 2001, 4:47 p.m. I have been an avid HP user for many years (HP21, HP25, HP41C, HP71B, HP11C & HP85A). I had been using my HP11C for everyday business (engineering) use, but it is becoming quite worn. I like the shirt pocket size of the HP11C, and like many others am disappointed by HP's current offerings. I considered buying a used HP11C or HP15C machine on e-bay, but then started evaluating RPN offerings for Palm (which I also use for business). I evaluated several and then found MathU Pro from Creative Creek (www.creativecreek.com). I like it very much, especially the keyboard layout (very HP like) and the programming functionality and features. Might be worth a look!

Re: RPN for Palm OS Message #3 Posted by R.J. Bied on 14 Aug 2001, 1:40 p.m., in response to message #2 by W. Bruce Maguire II You can assign the RPN calculator as the default calculator in the preferences portion of the main menu. Forget the Palm standard calculator!

Bruce Maguire II a guy in the coffee shop showed me his palm (don't know what model). he had about 5 rpn's on it. something like a 12c, an ersatz 25c, a conversion calculator, and a couple of others. not bad but the keys were kind of flat :-) sorry but i didn't catch the name of the software.

Re: RPN for Palm OS Message #5 Posted by Charles Perry on 15 Aug 2001, 6:58 p.m., in response to message #1 by R.J. Bied I prefer RPN 2.56. It is shareware with a very low cost. The keys are flat, but it has plenty of features and new commands can be added quite easily.

Re: RPN for Palm OS Message #6 Posted by R.J. Bied on 15 Aug 2001, 11:20 p.m., in response to message #5 by Charles Perry I also tried RPN 2.56 but prefer the 'HP look' of MathU Pro. Thanks for your feedback.
