Remember comp.sources.hp48?

[Giuseppe Donnini]

Hello,

I recently went through many old posts at comp.sys.hp48, comp.sys.handhelds, and comp.sources.hp48 with the intent of resurrecting the accompanying encrypted programs. A tool that proved very helpful in using old 16bit executables like SHIP.EXE can be found here:

http://takeda-toshiya.my.coocan.jp/

Although the site is entirely in Japanese, the zip file includes English documentation. With this tool you can simply convert your 16bit exe file to a 32bit one which works perfectly fine on a modern 64bit Windows system. No need to use DosBox anymore, you can run the converted executable directly from the command line.

P.S. I wish to thank Eric Rechlin for his recent HP-48 uploads. Every day since mid-June I eagerly await the "new" gems.
