I further urge that the postings are bundled in directories named for the particular model the programmes are written for.

I assume this was the original idea of the current structure: there are dedicated areas for the 41, the 65/67/97 and the Prime. The problem: it's just these three calculator series, everything else falls into the "General Software Library". And this category applies to very common calculators like the 35s or the 34s, or the 12C and 15C. This way it has become by far the largest category, it is even larger than the Prime section with programs for a current calculator!

So at last the question is: how detailled does it have to get? Independent sections for the 34s and 35s would make sense, then 12C, 15C, maybe another one for the Wookstocks, ... but how far should this go? We cannot have a forum for each and every calculator type HP ever made.

I find it puzzling that the General Software Library seems to consist exclusively of programs for specific calculators. If we were starting from scratch, It would make more sense for these to be in a Specific Calculator Programs library (or broken up into specific calculators/groups). General Software ought to be what it says: General - algorithms in readable pseudocode, or an index to algorithms implemented on several calculators, surely? At present, there is no obvious place to look for these. But in reality it is probably easier to keep General Software as-is and add a new really-general category.
