Anyone Have PRGMBR for the 71?
Message #1 Posted by Steve Seto on 15 Sept 2002, 7:09 p.m.

I'm looking for versions of the "Create Your Own Barcode" programs PRGMBR & FULFCN that have been edited for the HP-71B dialect of BASIC. Ideally also edited for an HP 2225B printer (however, I'll take whatever I can get here). Of course, I'd also like to get it on a downloadable HP 82161 micro cassette. If anyone has such a version, please contact me; I'd like to talk to you about it...

Hi, Could you give me further informations about it? I have all archives of PPC-Toulouse and JPC-Paris.

Emmanuel: Thanks for your help. PRGMBR and FULFNC are the two programs in the HP "Creating Your Own HP-41 Bar Code" manual (#82153-90019 - English). PRGMBR takes a list of numbered 41 instructions and compiles them on command. FULFCN prompts for "HP-41 type commands" that are translated into bar code. It's not immediately clear why there are two programs.

Both programs are written in a 9845 dialect of BASIC. I'm guessing that there are a few differences between the 9845 and the 71 versions of BASIC, but also hoped that someone had already worked this out. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable fee for debugged versions of the programs in the 71 dialect. I have a cassette drive, and that is the most logical media, since both programs appear to be several hundred lines long.

Hope that explains this request, and thanks for your help...
