I think it's time to say Thank You here.

hp41uc is a great tool for every HP41 user, both for the real thing as well as emulators like V41. I am using it right now to generate raw files for the HP67/97 Games Pac project in the General Forum. Also generating listings or editing programs with re-arranged code parts can be done without much effort.

I've revised the HP41UC utility so that it works as a Win32 console application.

I am using version 1.30 from 2007 and it works fine for me. But what are the benefits of the recent update (apart from the mentioned bugfixes)?

Anyway, thank you again for this great tool.

I suggest you review the "UsersGuide" to get a better idea about the changes.
The main difference is that v1.30 is a 16-bit VisualC (MS-DOS) application, whereas the newer code base has been ported to 32/64-bit Visual Studio and also to GNU C.

The GNU code can be compiled for Linux and most versions of Windows, including Windows XP. So you can benefit from all the bug fixes even if you're still running an older version of Windows. Of course, you'd need to use a proper GNU toolchain like:
1) DJGPP: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
2) MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/

BTW, an important goal for me is to maintain backwards compatibility.
So you can upgrade without fear of losing functionality.

HTH,
Leo
