Re: HP41 Magnetic Cards Message #4 Posted by Bill Smith on 26 Mar 2003, 11:37 a.m., in response to message #1 by Tom Cox
Quite a while ago, further back than reliable memory, I had a nearly 1000 line program that req'd some 14 cards to record. one of the cards went bad, but it seems i was able to load the rest of the program. perhaps because it contained many global labels? i remember editing in the middle of the program enough to get it working again, but i think it required re-entering entire subprograms. better than rekeying the entire thing. then i bought a wand, and have added HP-IL and an 82973A ;^]
anyway, methinks this can be done, but may require some tricks like inserting temporary labels. if time permits, i will experiment around with my bad cards and see if i can rememeber exactly what i did.
best luck,
bs
