DOW returns a number, not a string (Sun=0, Mon=1, etc.)

Yes, but when executed from the keyboard, DOW also displays the day of the week as a 3-character string.

I don't think I ever noticed that before on Free42. Thanks.

One thing I don't understand: the time and date functions, which are Free42 extensions to the HP-42S functions. When I call the DATE function, the X-register is: 2,020.0813 This is exactly what I expected. I prefer YMD, and the top strip om my calculator displays 2020-08-13. However, when I call th...

I have had my DM42 (S/N 05503) for a couple of weeks. It's been more than a quarter century since I've used a similar calculator (HP-48), so there's a lot for me to remember, understand, and explore. One thing I don't understand: the time and date functions, which are Free42 extensions to the HP-42...

Why is it still on line? Still on line as it is required if an update to the newer system has not been made. That is there was a versions xxx.xx that from beta to that version required the old method. There may still be existing units that have a version between beta and xxx.xx out there. Once vers...

My opinion is that Thomas and Didier know more about this than I do.

And they're faster too!

Point being, every time I hear “goose” I think about my synthetic routine that ran the goose backwards with droppings. And that reminds me of the many fun HP-41 displays that decorated the HHC 2009 website , such as this one, which includes a backwards-flying goose with droppings! http://hhuc.us/20...

Did anything change regarding state files? Which reminds me: I mislabelled a state file (clumsiness) and want to rename it or delete it and start over but I haven't yet found any options for either. Possible? Assuming this is on a DM42.... 1. Connect the USB FAT drive 2. On your PC or MAC, use File...
