  Subj: The Sun Rises: HP48 RPL Tools NOW
  Date: Tue Jul 09 1991

The IBM PC-based HP 48 system RPL development tools I promised in May
are now available via ftp at 15.255.72.16, in the directory
/ftp-anonymous/pub/rpl.  There are two files: TOOLS.EXE, which is a
self-extracting archive of the RPL development system (pkzip), and
README, which explains how to extract the tools.

I apologize for the delay in publishing this material; since my original
announcement, we held off to make some changes to the RPL documentation,
and then spent some more time waiting for the necessary legaleze to
attach to the tool set.

There is one missing piece from the tool set: a PC-based library compiler
that allows you to build HP 48 libraries from the source code rather
than needing to work with an HP 48 directory.  We are working on
this tool and will release it very soon :-).  [See note below. -jkh-]

I look forward to a lot of exciting software being developed for the
HP 48 using these tools.

The RPL tools are now available via ftp from this bbs. The file is
in /ftp-anonymous/pub/rpl. There are two files: tools.exe, which is
a self-extracting archive of the tools, and README, a file that
describes how to un-archive the tools.

The version that is now there is an updated version of what was
posted a week or so ago. It now includes the makerom utility.
[Note: that's the "missing" library compiler Bill mentioned. -jkh-]

[Note: The software described above, and complete documentation, is available
 as EduCALC Goodies Disk #4.  Thanx to Bill Wickes, Jim Donnelly, and all the
 others at HP Corvallis who made these tools available to us!  -jkh-]
