HP-41: Automatic copy of several programs from a module Message #1 Posted by Geir Isene on 27 Dec 2006, 6:29 p.m. This is what I want to achieve: In a program, copy 5 programs from ROM to RAM. How do I do this the best way?

Then call these functions from within your program. Best would be if your calling program resides in ROM, to minimze program pointer conflicts;-) Of course your program has to save the current PC before the COPY operations, and restore it afterwards.

I didn't find any pack-program in the PPC. It would be nice to do something like this, though: "UAC" PCOPY PPACK "REM PCOPY PPACK ... etc. But not possible :(

However I'm planning s.t. like this in ML for the next OS/X plug-in;-) Meanwhile, you could also try to simulate the functionality if you have a CCD module. The CCD module offers functions to write (program name) strings into any register, and has the ability to jump to every ROM location... Regards Raymond
