Does anybody want an HP-35 emulator for Palm? Message #1 Posted by Jonathan Purvis on 29 May 2003, 4:38 a.m. I've ported Eric Smith's csim to PalmOS. I've got it emulating the HP-45 and HP-35 (using Peter Monta's extraction of the ROM). Unfortunately the hard disk of the computer i was developing it on died last week so the only version i have is the one on my Treo that emulates the HP-35 only. Does anyone want a copy? I do plan on rewriting it sometime, but i've got to buy a new hard disk and reinstall Linux, etc first. It's a little slow, but useable. I ported it by simply writing the relevalent Unix calls, which may account for some of the slowness.

Message #4 Posted by Mark Ordal on 29 May 2003, 5:10 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jonathan Purvis A nice stack-based calculator program already exists for PalmOS PDAs: "RPN" by Russell Y. Webb (http://www.nthlab.com). It doesn't emulate HP models. However, being stack-based, it obviously operates in a similar manner. It is programmable, but its scripting language is quite a bit different than programming a real HP RPN or RPL model.

If you don't distribute sources (for any reason, including a disk crash), you can't distribute the object code either. Sorry. But if you do write it again, we'll all look forward to seeing it.
