ROM Based Procedural Language (RPL)?? Message #1 Posted by Howard Owen on 11 Apr 2007, 3:53 a.m.
I was reading through HP's 35 year anniversary page when I noticed this description of the HP-28C, near the bottom:
1987 HP-28C: First full RPL calculator
In the late 1980s, HP developed a new programming language
for its new series of extremely powerful calculators. By
combing (sic) elements of RPN, Lisp and Forth, HP came up
with a language called RPL (or ROM-based Procedural Language).
Is this just a marketing goof or is their precedent for this expansion of "RPL?"
Regards, Howard
