Re: HP41 XFunctions module Message #3 Posted by Les Wright on 8 Feb 2007, 1:21 a.m., in response to message #2 by Karl Schneider
Thanks, I so thought, but I do reiterate that behaviour of a certain emulator is a bit different. In V41, if you add the XF module to a CX configuration, it seems that the extended CX functions that are not part of the XF module are no longer accessible--e.g., EMROOM--and the EMDIR command reports 362 registers of extended memory available. This of course doesn't happen in a real CX. I don't know if this behaviour is intentional on Warren's part or a bug. If he doesn't see this post first I will write and ask him.
Of course this is all moot anyway--the XF module functionality was superseded by the CX.
I have compared catalogs and the overlap is substantial but not entire. The XF/XM module confers most of the CX functionality to my CV, but not all.
As for the whopping memory, I like the idea of have a few spare registers to move a prog. into if I get into size issues, but as a contented owner of a fine plasmoid rebuilt card reader, I store pretty well everything. And I back up like crazy, but that will probably cool off when the novelty wears off in a few weeks. I just like watching the card reader gobble the card and spit it out again.
What fun!
