D-12 Greetings! I have a project in the *very* early stages of development. Ineed one or two **dead** 48G series units. Occasionally eBay has some butnot very often. It would be a criminal act to sacriÞce a working unit so isanyone willing to part with an old deceased friend?I¹ll pay shipping in the US via PayPal.Doug StarwaltAnderson, SCIT does not equal IQ - Starwalt 1999====> 7.New functions - didn¹t Þnd any yet (compare to hp49g rom 1.16)Of course - just a small typing mistake - should be : compare to hp49grom 1.19-6. sorry.Idan====I bought a new hp49g+ recently (1 week). Yesterday i updated the romto v1.22. Today i noticed that a vertical line more bright (2 pixels)appeared in the lcd ( 1.5cm from the left of the screen, more orless). I don¹t know if the line appeared right after the update oronly today.Sometimes the pixels of that line behave normally (not in many cases),other times they appear like a shadow , and in some cases they don¹tturn on at all.When I¹m putting the contrast to the maximum the pixels on that linebecome black latter than the others (so the vertical line is clearlyvisible), but in the end all the screen is black and no line isvisible (with good batteries).When I perform the lcd test one of the vertical lines doesn¹t appear,but all the horizontal lines seem to be ok.I have reinstalled the rom but the problem stills. I don¹t know whereto Þnd rom 1.20 (?) so i haven¹t tried to install it again.Does anyone have this problem? Its a software problem or hardware? Ihope is not hardware because the calculator was bought in the USA andi live in PortugalAnother strange behavior: Some days ago when i was plotting a function(fast 3d, rom 1.20, and rechargeable batteries 1.2V) the calculatorturn off and it only turned on after a reset...Cn33302053 on the back of the calculator.Any help is welcome.Carlos Jorge Francisco====> Another strange behavior: Some days ago when i was plotting a function> (fast 3d, rom 1.20, and rechargeable batteries 1.2V) the calculator> turn off and it only turned on after a reset...If you have one of the early models of HP49G+, in case of Very low battery,you will need to perform a reset to restart the calculator.This was done because the VLB is only tested around .5 after the resart ofthe calculator in the OS, so, if you have a calc with very low bettery andpress on the ON key, repetitly (if it is in a bag that is getting stamped onfor example), you are likely to loose data...in the later version, some testing was added in the boot loader, making theVLB testing imediate and allowing to remove the forced reset...====X> in the later version, some testing was added in the boot loader, makingthe> VLB testing imediate and allowing to remove the forced reset...Is there any means to update the boot loader?====Ok, this may be an RTFM type question but....I want to integrate x*sin(x) (or x*exp(x)or most anything else like that) and don¹t want to do it by hand since its such a long process to do integration by parts over and over in a fourier series solution and I ALWAYS make mistakes.When I do this on my 49G+ I get:x*Sin(x)INTVXWarning - integrating in approx mode(OK)INT(Xt*sin(Xt),Xt,X)What does this mean?

Since the 49 CAS is based partly on Erable,I wonder what¹s happening here; perhaps Erable silently switches toexact mode for INTVX and then back to approx when it¹s done? Or maybeit ignores the exact/approx þag altogether.

Either the pressure on the PCB causedsome problem, the foam got in the way of some contact (I don¹t seehow), or the batteries coincidentally happened to go dead at thatmoment.Before returning things to normal, I tested the keys for noise -- Iwill say that the keys sounded deader -- they were perhaps just asloud (or nearly so), but didn¹t sound as hollow. It was a noticeablechange, but I¹m not sure a signifcant one.Anyway, I took out the foam, it still wouldn¹t come on, but replacingthe batteries brought it back to life.

It is quite effective and for certain people witherratic spending habits (including myself) it can be a life saver. TheStart screen of WalMn has the following entries (in two columns, shownhere as one column) which can easily be modiÞed:A AutoC ClothesE EntertnD meDicalF FoodG GiftV VacationH HygieneM MiscellanP ProfessnR RecreatnT TransprtU UnaccountedY YogaW Withdrawl1= NXT(The NXT screen has many more entry possibilities).So, for example, if one presses the F key (Key 16.1) the next screen comesup and asks for the amount of Food expenditures. That amount issubtracted from the current balance and stored in the account Food as avalue subtracted and balance for the current month.When I withdraw money from the bank I enter it by pressing W, and thatvalue is added to the current wallet balance.At the end of the month the GtTot (Get Total) program adds everything upand stores it in a variable TOTL as an array. TOTL can easily imported intoExcel where it can be further manipulated to suit ones personal accountprogram (if one has one). The RESET menu resets all the accounts to [0.0. 0.] at the end of the month.I always know how much is in my wallet, and mindless spending and/or falsechange by merchants have been minimized or excluded.My next task is to convert this program to System RPL (which I just startedstudying - so it will take a while). Anybody interested in using WalMn? Orwould some of the great programmers on this site be interested in convertingWalMn to System RPL?Walt.====> ...

Upon returning from our last trip by air, which required \4 take-offs and 4 landings plus exposure to real pressure changes of: Outbound Inbound1) 0 ft. to 35,000 ft. 1) 8,000 ft. to 3,450 ft.2) 35,000 ft. to 0 ft. 2) 3,450 ft. to 35,000 ft.3) 0 ft. to 35,000 ft. 3) 35,000 ft. to 0 ft.4) 35,000 ft. to 3,450 ft. 4) 0 ft. to 35,000 ft.5) 3,450 ft. to 8,000 ft. 5) 35,000 ft. to 0 ft. After exposure to this set of fairly routine pressure changes, the seals \on two (both) brand-new size AA Eveready Energizers failed and leaked \electrolyte all over the interior of the device into which they were \inserted. The device itself is ruined, but fortunately--and quite by random \chance--the ruined device is a $0.99 plastic þashlight rather than my new HP \49G+. After this experience, I will buy only Duracells and RayOVac IC3 15 \min. rechargeables, and the RayOVacs are under severe scrutiny.A couple of questions: 1) Are the \Renewal\ cells the same as the \IC3, 15 min. \Rechargeables\? 2) How are the unique form factor Li-MH cells holding up in things like \digital cameras? These don¹t seem to be made in anything close to a standard \dimension; each camera¹s batteries seem to have their own shapes and sizes. 3) What about the reliability of the button-shaped cells? I have read of \many HP-11s, 15s, etc. that are reported to run for 8 years or so on the \brand-new batteries as shipped from the factory. These get taken onto \airplanes like everything else, but their seals seem perfect.4) Is C/10 (C = capacity in amp-hrs.) still the recommended rate of charge \for the new rechargeables and their rechargers?--Jim Chumbley-- : : >: > When the Ray-O-Vacs get old they certainly will leak: > BUT fortunately(?) most of the time to the loader...not to the calc: >: : When Renewals Þrst came out, I thought it was such a good idea that I: bought stock in the company that licenses the technology.

Thatswhat a PDA is for. If you want a PDA with an HP-49G emulator, buy aPDA and download an emulator. Then you will have all the extra memoryand speed you need for all the things you want to do which calculatorswerent designed to do. I know we¹ve convinced our calculators to doall sorts of things (play games, be an organizer, let us makeprograms) other than what they were designed to do (solve equations,help us visualize graphs, CALCULATE), but that still does not changethe fact that these are calculators. It is true that a fasterprocesser will help us solve equations faster and more RAM(surelythats what you mean, I cant imagine someone asking for more memorythan an SD card holds) will allow us to manipulate bigger matrices,but what real need is there for more than 512kb of RAM? Whatcalculations do you do which are not fast enough to suit you on anHP49G+? If another calculator comes out which will help me do thingsbetter than I do them now I would consider buying it. But I meanexactly what I say, I would buy another CALCULATOR, not a PDA. I hopeand believe that the successor to the HP49G+, a calculator, will be acalculator.====> I think most of you want a computer instead of a calculator. Thats> what a PDA is for.

We are talking about calculators, but I want to use it \as acomputer. I must be able to do powerful things with it, solve matrixes, \programcomplex formula¹s and evaluate them. I do NOT intend to play games with it, \I donot intend to use it as an organizer and so, I want to have a pocket \computer,not a calculator. And yes, I want to program it, but I¹ll only writemathematical programs.That¹s why I don¹t like the plan of a pda with an emulated HP 49G, because \sucha complex machine can¹t be emulated in a pda.A pda is a pda, a 49G is a 49G (and a 48G a 48G).And you¹re right, 512kb of RAM is more than enough, even 128k wil do. For \now Ihave 32k and it¹s enough, although i foresee that once it won¹t no longer. So let the 50G be a calculator with the power of a computer, but only with that part of computerpower that can calculate. And let they give it a decent \keyboard, for example that of the 48G.Aagje====what exactly the Œlabel¹ menu item does in thetext comand line editor? it¹s located under the gotoMenu..I really can¹t Þnd anything to explain it inthe manual.thanksMerlyn.====> what exactly the Œlabel¹ menu item does in the> text comand line editor? it¹s located under the goto> Menu..> It Þnds lines starting with a star and displays a choose menu.After selecting one of those lines, the editor jumps to this position.In machine language, lines starting with a star are jump labels,that is why the caommand is called \label\.- Carsten====> what exactly the Œlabel¹ menu item does in the> text comand line editor? it¹s located under the goto> Menu..I was wondering about the same thingMaybe JYA will explain in detail how the build-in editor works...With a lot of examples, please?Wolfgang (who is an expert in editors)could maybe give additional examples...====> what exactly the Œlabel¹ menu item does in the> text comand line editor? it¹s located under the goto> Menu..> I was wondering about the same thing> Maybe JYA will explain in detail how the build-in editor works...> With a lot of examples, please?> Wolfgang (who is an expert in editors)> could maybe give additional examples...I don¹t have my 49 with me now but I guess it could be related withASM labels that start with *If you have an assembly source with many labels RS GOTO gives you achoose box with all the labels so you can directly jump there.it is easily reached) that I sent you some time ago and on which Ireally should be working.Arnaud====> In The Netherlands you cannot even buy HP-calculators anymore!There is no company here that want¹s to do bussiness (importing) with \HP> (calculatordivision)!> Not true.

I ordered my HP49G+ from Eric(www.hpcalc.org) and got it eight days after I made the order. I paidno duty, so it was a *huge* saving over buying it in Europe (USD 160including postage vs Euro 205). I also bought two HP10BIIs from SamsonCables and received them inside of two weeks, also not paying anyduty. Even if you do pay VAT, it is still considerably cheaper.DifÞcult to return them if required, that¹s the risk you take. Ihaven¹t had any problems.You can buy calculators here. However, they are expensive because HPsells via a Benelux distributor (in Belgium), who then sells to theretailers, and in my Eindhoven experience they don¹t have them instock anyway. And they wonder why there are parallel imports ...Tim> In The Netherlands you cannot even buy HP-calculators anymore!There is no company here that want¹s to do bussiness (importing) with \HP> (calculatordivision)!> Not true.

We arealready see PDA functionality in calculators. PDAs will soon have 40gig hard drives and MP3 players just like the iPOD. Will HP evercombine the IPaq with the 49+ and a one inch drive?

Why??Yes, for speed. If libraries only had names, then calls to theircommands would have to perform a name search through potentiallydozens of libraries, resulting in slow program speed. Worse yet, themore libraries you added, the worse the problem would get.The existence of Library ID numbers solves this problem. Everylibrary has its own unique number (ideally), and each command in alibrary has its own number within its library. Thus every command isuniquely identiÞed by a pair of numbers, e.g. XLIB 123 456 means\command #456 in library #123\.

WilsonGamewood, Inc.wilsonpm@gamewood.net====> Does a library really need a number? Why?? That seems like rather bad \design.Libraries on the HP calcs are used as containers of commands (as youprobably know). Libraries and the commands within can of course havenames (they often do), but the single unique property of a library isits ID number.I write \can\ have names, because you can have a null-named command ina library for example - this command won¹t show up in the librarymenu, and the only way to access the command is by referencing it fromanother program by its library and command number. Library numbers000h through 300h are reserved for internal use on the HPs - as arelibrary numbers above 700h (other IDs are used by the system as well).Only the directly accesible commands have actual names, as the OSdon¹t need them. If a programmer knows in which libraries to hook, heor she can access normally inaccessible internal routines with apointer.Lists of all internal commands accesible this way exist, but to lookfor yourself, Wolfgangs Libman library is a big help.An example: Library 2 contains most of the basic commands in theHP48/49 (there are 401 commands in it). This library doesn¹t have aname, since it¹s an internal library. Command number 82 in thatlibrary is the SIN function, and this function can be run in a SysRPLprogram with this statement ROMPTR 2 81 (there are other pointertypes, PTR, FPTR2 aso. depending on the location of the command ordata). Now, it would be easy to access the sine function in a programin a more normal fashion, but then consider this example:Library 788 contains many of the CAS commands in the HP49G+ (there are1444 commands in this library). Only the Þrst 141 commands in lib 788have names (like EXPAND and DESOLVE) and are thus accesible via thenormal command interface! The other 1303 commands can be accessed inSysRPL via rompointers as above. Not all of these are documentedthough - maybe half of the complete set of unnamed commands are.I have currently access to 5875 library commands on my HP49G+. Comparethis to the 1059 commands available through the catalog :-)Oh, I almost forgot; The HP uses pointers instead of names to accesscommands, because it is of course much faster.====> What would be better?
