programing the HP42S - dave r - 10-20-2016 07:13 PM
I am looking for someone w/ HP programing experience to program
my 42S. it is a program that allows me to enter numbers in ft and inches
w/ fractions. and convert back to a decimal number.
I have all of the "key strokes" and have it on another of my 42S calc.
but I need a back up. I use this calc daily in my eng. consulting job.
I am willing to pay for this service. will ship the calc. in the U.S.A.

Can you copy the mnemonic commands from the working HP-42S to a piece of paper or enter in a text editor? Then you can key in the same commands to your second HP-42S?

I'm very familiar with programming the 42s and would be interested in at least seeing the program.
Are you looking to put it on a second HP 42s and just don't want to take the time?

I don't quite understand, why don't you simply type in the program yourself?
Do you have a printer for the 42s? If you do you could print the program and save some time typing it into the other calculator.

He sent me the printout of the program. Someone else had entered it on his calculator a long time ago, the printout is from 1996 and he'd like to have it on a second calculator but doesn't know what all the commands on the printout mean or how to input them.
We're working on sorting it out.

Oh you wouldn't believe how fishy I can be. Comes from all that tilapia my wife makes me eat
He sent me an old program printout and I created three custom videos giving him a crash course in entering it:
