Text files import/export on HP-41CX, HP-IL, Mac OS

[dayd]

Here’s the code and usage of the mentioned program PKFLAS

It works only with the 41CX/CL (as it uses special functions from the CX) and text files.
I find it useful for managing memory and file sizes.

Usage:

Put the file name in alpha register or clear it to work on the selected file and execute PKFLAS

It will display:
the amount of Extended Memory available (max size for the file),
the actual file size,
and the minimum size the file can be (with the actual content).

From there you can:
Press R/S to pack the file to its minimum or
Put your specific amount (between min and max) and press R/S or
Press RDN and R/S to use all available registers
(or don’t hit R/S and the file remains intact and selected).

Code:
