PC editor for writing HP49g+ programs
Message #1 Posted by Gour on 4 Dec 2006, 2:08 p.m.

Hi!

Today I was writing some routines for my HP33s by using vim scripts for HP41. It was fun & scripts perform nicely.

However, I see that soon I'll exhaust number of variables in HP33s, so will have to extend my program by using HP49g+.

Is there any editor which works on Linux or some scripts for HP49g+ for eg. Gvim which can be used for writing UseRPL programs on PC?

Sincerely, Gour

Any text editor, or a "word processor" that allows for "plain text" files, should work just fine.

Regards,
James

I know that, but I wanted something better :-)

Didn't find it right at the beginning, but I've found out there are wonderful scripts for gvim written for RPL language - probably RPL/2 - which works very nicely with User RPL - giving syntax highlighting, indenting...

All in all, highly recommended!

Sincerely, Gour

p.s. The above is included in official gvim distribution (tested on Gentoo Linux with gvim-7.0).

Edit:I forgot to give credit to the author of RPL/2 language who wrote the above mentioned scripts.

So, Gvim users, enjoy writing RPL programs ;)
