- HP11C Calculator
- ================
-
- This is version 1.01 (a few bug fixes & minor changes from the previous
- version).
-
- This program emulates an HP11C calculator. Everything is there, including
- the program mode (with the instructions displayed as usual, as numbers
- ...). By default, it's even as slow. It is callable from Workbench or CLI.
-
- Usage
- -----
- You can pass as argument a program to be loaded (not run): from CLI, type
- hp11 <name> (you must be in the directory containing the program, cf
- miscellaneous), from the Workbench click on the program's icon, press &
- hold shift and double click on the hp11's icon.
-
- Basically, the program opens a window containing an image of an HP11C (it
- will only look right if you use the standard workbench colours), it looks
- best on an interlaced screen but will work in non-interlaced mode (however,
- the image will be rather elongated). You select keys with the mouse or the
- keyboard, the following keys are supported: 0..9,.,+,-,*,/,return (for
- enter), esc (for ON).
-
- The ON key is treated specially: when you select it, the HP11C becomes an
- icon that you can move around with the mouse. To turn the calculator back
- on, double-click on the icon.
-
- The following menu options are avalaible:
-
- Project
- New Clear HP11 memory (equivalent to ON -)
- Open AO Load an HP11 program
- Save Save program under current name
- Save As AS Save program under a name
- Print Print program -- unimplemented
- Quit End program
-
- Edit
- Copy AC Copy number in display to clipboard
- Paste AP Enter clipboard as a number into X
-
- Options
- Radix
- Point A. Select UK/USA format for numbers
- Comma A, Select European format for numbers
- Speed
- Slow Program's execute at HP11C speed
- Fast Program's execute faster ...
- Icons Save an icon with a program ? Default = Off when
- called from CLI, on from Workbench
-
- For more details (especially concerning HP11C programming), refer to HP's
- manual. (I didn't want to get sore fingers ...)
-
-
- Miscellaneous
- -------------
- Please send all bug reports, suggestions for enhancements ... to me.
-
- The format for Copy & Paste is not the same (alas ? if you disagree
- strongly, please send me a note): Copy essentially places an image of what
- is on the display in the clipboard, thus 200*10^23 becomes 200.0000 23.
- Paste reads a number in the format +/-x.xE+/-x.
-
- The ARP file requester is used if arp.library is present.
-
- The program must be able to find the file HP11.PIC. It should be in the
- same directory as the executable file. However, if you run the program
- from the CLI, you must either give an explicit path when you execute the
- program (as in df1:hp11/hp11), or have the file hp11.pic in the current
- directory. In other words, the program shouldn't be in your PATH
- specification (for instance in C:).
-
- This program is placed in the public domain.
