• Wlodek’s “Extend Your HP-41”, Nov 85 Edition
• Keith Jarret’s “HP-41 Extended Functions Made Easy”
• John Dearing’s “Calculator Tips and Routines” (only 1 program)
• Cary Reinstein’s “HP-41 HP-IL System Dictionary”
  

I will also send the .dat files to Angel to explore combining into a single Module.

Thanks, Bob! Your LIF disk images (.dat files) have been zipped and uploaded as requested. For easy access to them, I edited your list of book titles above, so that each is now a direct link to the respective zipfile.

More homework, great! ;-) I'll get to those on a time permitting basis - after all I have a day job to do.

I was thinking that small routines are less suited to this project, they'll quickly exhaust the limited number of FAT entries, and in theory they're supposed to be easy to enter by hand.

A couple of trivia facts that you may find interesting:

- PPC and Wickes are already dealt with on the PPC_APPS Module. Only one program from the Wickes' book didn't fit there, "KA" - we could consider getting rid of "DIAL" instead but I thought there were already plenty of programs on Key Assignments. Let me know what you think.

- There is already a module with the HP-41 Advantage apps from the Grapevine books. J-F Garnier put that one together, and it's available at TOS and on the CL Library.

- W. Kolb's Curve Fitting program is available on the "Curve Fitting" Module I put together many moons ago; also available at the same sources.

- Of all remaining ones perhaps the more interesting is "McCornack/Jarrett: HP-41 Advance Programming Tips". Would be nice to have RAW files for those or another .DAT virtual drive file.
