Connectivity / Development Tools for HP48 on Win7/8 PC?

[TomC]

So, I ran conn4.exe which showed me that it was extracting files....but I cannot find where they went! What are the files called? I searched documents, program files and program files (64bit). Oit!

(or need I resurrect a Win98 PC?)

Tom, HP's latest Connkit4 (here) runs fine on Win7x64 and works perfectly with a 48GX, though not the SX. When you begin, you need to 'bootstrap' by downloading the (included) XMODEM library to the 48GX; just follow the instructions. The only thing in Connkit4 that seems to not always work (with a 48GX) is the feature to capture screen-shots.
