Er, what? Patch 23 added it, if I counted right. Last one of the big package.
It's indeed missing in your repository, but other parts of the same patch got in. Apparently you didn't 'git add' it (and I forgot to mention that in the post with the patches). As a matter of fact, x49gp.desktop.in (from patch 19) is missing too, and the README and README.QEMU files I renamed to TODO and TODO.QEMU in patch 23 went poof as well. Sorry about not catching that earlier.
Edit: fixed the old post to warn any latecomers who want to recreate the entire Git history in their repositories. Better late than never.

Just as well I refreshed this thread then, I had read the post before you "fixed" it, just before you posted this message I'm replying to.

I will be rather grateful for a slightly modernised x49gp, as a couple of the warts from other versions are causing me to have three directories - source, hp50g and hp49g+ just so I can get the bits I want. Let me know when the patch-fest eases up so I can get the codebase on my machine stabilised. Last time I did that was from the Sourceforge files, I think. Has anyone considered upgrading that codebase, or are we just going with the various git repositories?
