Can programs for the 48g 32k be used on the 48gII and also can the
programs be exchanged between the 48gII and the 48g with a pc link and/
or infrared transfer.

UserRPL (in text form) is for the most part compatible,
while binary objects are not (because of the major change
in ROM addresses between the two series, a "48Gii"
being a "49-series" product, like the 49G/49G+/50G);
a backup of HOME, being a binary object,
is also not directly transferable.

If you archive your HOME directory directly to a PC,
the result can be RESTOREd to Emu48, so that
all subsequent operations may be carried out on a PC,
between two emulated calcs, then finally either
transferred individually or all of emilated 48Gii HOME
sent at once from the PC to the 48Gii -- presuming that
you have a serial COM port on your PC (or can create one
via a USB-to-serial converter).

IR has been reported to be too weak for direct transfer,
but serial cable transfer (either direct or via computer)
should be possible, in "ascii" (text) mode only.
