HP-41: Formula Evaluation ROM

[Ángel Martin]

Quick test, answer yes/no to the following:

1. Are you tired of de-constructing formulas to program them in your RPN calculator?
2. Do you secretly wish there was possible to type math expressions like in a Sharp calculator or (gasp!) an AOS machine?

If your answer to any or both above was "yes" you're in luck - assuming that is you own a 41CX and have the capability to burn ROM images for it - like Clonix/NoVoRAM, MLDL2k, and of course the LC board.

From the Martin-McClure MCODE headquarters (developers of the 16C Simulator) comes now the "Formula Evaluation ROM". a 4k Module that allows you to evaluate directly mathematical formulas typed in ALPHA without the need for any FOCAL programs.

A sizeable set of functions and operators are included, including the functions in the original OS plus the complete hyperbolic set. Plus a custom Formula Editor to make the entering process a breeze = including curved parenthesis and other special characters for better legibility.

And there's more: the module includes formula-aware versions of SV and IT, ready to be put to their paces to solve for equation roots and calculate numerical integrals of the function written in ALPHA - no RPN programs in RAM necessary.

Soon to a TOS / CL_Library near you, we're polishing the last touches before the official release.

Gamma testers welcome, holler if interested.

Cheers,
