Re: HP48GX and Windows XP Message #5 Posted by James M. Prange (Michigan) on 8 Oct 2005, 10:31 p.m., in response to message #1 by George Rose
I think HP just hasn't gotten around to updating their 48G series
and 49G pages since Windows XP was released. As far as I know, the
HPComm application is the same for MS Windows 95, 98, NT4.0 and
2000. Though undocumented, it's said to work with ME and XP as
well.
Similarly, Conn4x (the 49g+ and 48gII application) is the same for
all recent versions of Windows. Though Xmodem based, it includes
an Xmodem server library that you can install on a 48G series
(though not a 48SX/S). It works well with the 48G series for the
most part, but some of the character translations differ for
"text" mode transfers, and it may have problems with some "text"
transfers that include the "counted" forms of characters strings
used in the 48 series. In particular, it may get "confused" about
the translations when a \ character occurs outside of a
quote-delimited character string.
