│ HORN10 disk of HP 48 software │
│ ** The HP 48 Hacker's Disk ** │
│ August 3, 1995 │
╘═══════════════════════════════╛
Collected & annotated by Joseph K. Horn, also known as "-jkh-".
This is Joe Horn's personal collection of favorite HP 48 goodies,
disk #10. It contains many excellent programs and articles by many
excellent programmers. Most of these files were downloaded from the
Usenet newsgroup "comp.sys.hp48".
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ This Goodies Disk is dedicated with gratitude │
│ to Mika Heiskanen, author of Jazz and a bunch │
│ of other massively cool stuff for hackers. │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Use the LIST.COM program (on this disk) or your favorite DOS utility
for viewing and printing the files' documentation. Note: TAB chars
(ASCII 9) are to be expanded to 8-char wide columns in all doc files.
This disk is dedicated to all HP48 "hackers". According to the
Hacker's Dictionary, a hacker is "a person who enjoys exploring the
details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities,
as opposed to most users who prefer to learn only the minimum
necessary; one who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who
enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming."
Since this disk is targeted at hackers, who are natural explorers and
are always in the top 1% intellectually, fancy document viewers (like
in Goodies Disk #9) and cute hand-holding comments have been omitted.
Besides many useful programs, libraries, and articles, you will also
find the many commented source code files of great value in your
search for System RPL and Assembly Language expertise.
╒═══════════════╕
│ S? SX? G? GX? │
╘═══════════════╛
Whether a program will run on the HP48 S/SX and/or the G/GX is
indicated in each program's documentation. Running a program on the
wrong machine will almost certainly cause a Memory Clear, but will not
harm the calculator's hardware. Real hackers are used to getting
occasional wipeouts and back up their memory frequently.
╒════════════════╕
│ SUBDIRECTORIES │
╘════════════════╛
The files are contained in subject-oriented subdirectories. List
FILEINFO.SRC for a complete listing of all the files and a brief
description of each. 4DOS was used to "attach" these descriptions onto
every file and subdirectory on the disk; if you use 4DOS or NDOS, you
will enjoy using it with the Goodies Disks. If you use 4DOS version
5.0 or above, you'll also see the authors' names.

║ Note: Everything on this disk is either freeware or ║
║ shareware. If you use the shareware, please register ║
║ as instructed. PLEASE DO give copies of this disk to ║
║ everybody! (But if you do, please don't change the ║
║ contents.) ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Files with the same name before the extension are all related. For
example, FRED would be a downloadable binary; FRED.SRC would be its
source code (possibly commented); etc. To copy a file into the HP 48,
you MUST specify the entire name; e.g. "FRED.LIB".
I have tried to provide documentation of some sort for every file on
this disk. If you know who wrote a file "by ?", please let me know so
that proper credit may be given. Thanx.
Apologies to those whose files I accidentally mangled while editing
and reformatting for the DOC program. Warm thanks to all authors whose
works appear here. Good job!
These files are not guaranteed in any way; use at your own risk.
