From: hp nut on 29 Jan 2008 17:23 Hello, I've finally decided to jump in and join this group. I'm not new to the HP (HP48SX, HP48GX-awesome calc!!,of course, HP50g-well...;-), and I have been reading some of the postings here lately. Anyway, I've been mainly into the UserRPL programming until recently, that is, about 2-3 weeks ago, I decided I NEED to learn sysRLP. So I've been doing the following: 1) Downloaded, from hpcalc.org (thanks Eric, John(?), and all) the latest Emacs package, progsys.pdf and entries.pdf (I'm a nerd, forgive me for my cryptic "wording"), and other related apps (ie. Nosy, CQIF, Keyman+, OT49+, etc 2) Searching for related postings here 3) Reading through the above mentioned files(pdfs and other docs) and postings and learning the use the related apps. So, eventually (i'm a slow reader) I guess I'll become proficient with sysRPL. And, I do want to say THANK YOU to all of you on (or who have been on) this group who have been so helpful. I can honestly say that in spite of what current/recent status of HP (and what various people say), the HP experience has been, well, very great! And I can go on at length about that, but I won't. Allow me one question this time (maybe I'll be able to sleep better if I ask this, even if no one answers): I have extable2 installed in Port 2 of my 50g (Rom 2.08, yes I need to update to 2.09), and when I use Nosy (can't remember which address[es]), I got garbage as well as "good" data on screen(I was not in Emacs or any other app) I've tried to reproduce this since, in last 3 or 4 days, to no avail. Anyway, it helps just to get it out there. I am going to re-download everything (ie, extable[2], and all other libs that I need) and start over. Well, this is length and probably boring, so, Thank you again, hpnut P.S. Actually, besides the models mentioned above, at various times, I've had hp32SII, hp42s, hp16c ( I know :-), hp 17BII,...uh I guess that's it--no wonder I'm broke! That's why I don't buy another 48GX (sniff, long sigh, :-( Again, thanks

My question[s] probably would be,however, is my Rom corrupted? I have run the self-tests (everything OK), but another "problem" I noticed is that apps (games or pictures, downloaded from hpcalc.org) with grayscale flicker badly (games) and obscure the image in the pictures. As you can tell from what I've said (and haven't), I'm almost illiterate at the hardware/ ROM/system level. But, again, as I learned my way around on the 48, including the port-related memory resets (when using my memory card with early Rom versions "K", and "M", I think), I'm sure I'll slowly claw my way through on the 50g. Anyway, thank you again, Bye

The first - possibly trivial - hint that came to my mind: did you already check the status of system flags -92 (set = MASD SysRPL mode; clear = MASD ASM mode) and/or -85 (set = SysRPL stack display; clear = normal stack display) ? Hope this helps. Best regards. Giancarlo

Well, I want to do some customization which may/may not require sysRLP, although I used a little of sysrpl on my 48, actually just a few SYSEVALS. However, mainly I'm considering writing an app that does geometry, ie draw simple figures, then scale them, combine with other figures, maybe work with eq's etc. Something that might help with analytic geometry/ calculus/trig. I have considered learning the HPGCC, but I'm not sure it will work for me. Right now I only have Win ME. Some time I'll update, not sure when. To be honest, when I was in college, I spent too much time "playing" with my 48, so now I'm trying to catch up. But, of course, I'm right back where I was, I guess :-). Well, so long for now. -hp nut |
