Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #2 Posted by Christof (Davis, CA) on 15 Sept 2002, 4:34 a.m., in response to message #1 by Renato good list! I'd add only one thing, and that's that Webb's RPN calc (nthlab.com) is programmable on a level that makes it a really fantastic programmer's and financial calc. -C

Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #3 Posted by Renato on 15 Sept 2002, 11:01 a.m., in response to message #2 by Christof (Davis, CA) I think it is #2 on the list - or did I miss it ? Renato

Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #4 Posted by Christof (Davis, CA) on 15 Sept 2002, 11:32 a.m., in response to message #3 by Renato No, you didn't miss it- I wasn't very clear in my writing. What I meant is that I'd label it as a scientific/general/financial programmable instead of strictly scientific. (I still use it on my girlfriend's Visor for grocery shopping math. Price per ounce/gram, discounts, tax, coupons) -C

Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #6 Posted by Johnny on 18 Sept 2002, 8:38 a.m., in response to message #1 by Renato And then of course you have atleast two HP41 emulators. I use Coconut quite often. Almost as good as my real HP41. :-)

Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #7 Posted by Renato on 18 Sept 2002, 9:26 a.m., in response to message #6 by Johnny Johnny, The thread was about RPN calculators, not HP simulators. See my list of HP simulators at: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/forum.cgi?read=21984 The list includes both 41emulators and some other interesting ones.

Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #8 Posted by Johnny on 23 Sept 2002, 8:16 a.m., in response to message #7 by Renato Well, the HP simulators *are* RPN calculators. I have rpnPopCalc on my Palm, but once I found coconut I started using that one instead.

Re: RPN calculators for Palm OS Message #9 Posted by Renato on 23 Sept 2002, 1:40 p.m., in response to message #8 by Johnny I agree, HP simulators are RPN calcs. But there is a difference in doing a good RPN calc and doing a good simulation. NeoCal is a very good RPN calc, and does not try to simulate an HP - so the user interface is very appropriate for a palm, but you dont't get keystroke programmability. On the other hand, coconut is a very good HP simulator, user interface suffers from this; on the other hand you get HP-41 programability.
