Complex Lock mode for WP-34s

It makes the WP-34s even more convenient with complex numbers than the HP-15C, because you can see both parts of the number at the same time. Also there is no confusion about which part of the number you are entering with the "Real" and "Imag" labels. Nice implementation! After reading your initial posting on this feature I did have two questions:

1. Are the patch files (source changes) available for download so that one could make changes, or compile a Linux Qt version of the emulator? Source is also essential if you want feedback on possible improvements.
2. If you changed the op codes, do you have a copy of the altered "wp34s.op" file, so that users of the assembler and library tools can automate the compilation of their programs to match these op code changes?

Thanks

I do have one suggestion. In the "Polar" entry mode, I think the labels "Range:" and "Angle:" would be more descriptive of the polar coordinates being entered than "Mod" and "Arg" for most people.

Thank you for your comments. Source code is now linked to from the first post (sorry - its omission was my mistake) and the wp34s.op file is now there too.

I have no objection to Range: and Angle:. Is this a US thing? My background is physics and to me "modulus" and "argument" are the natural terms. Jeff O also wanted Range: and Angle: so it's 2-1 at the moment. In the source code the names are defined somewhere in display.c in the annunciators function, so they are easy to change.
