Re: Plus42 features in dm42 anytime soon?

That's just the standard skin, with the display size set to something large. I'd say 28 ENTER 36 SETDS.

A bit pricey, and mapping the keyboard would be a challenge. But still. :D

Re: DMY Indicator misplaced in Settings -> Date DMCP 3.24

It's somewhat of a religious discussion... Is it, though? How does the frequency of people being confused and asking questions about this compare with people asking similar questions about the other menus? For reference, I've had zero questions asking me to clarify or change how the date and time o...

Re: DMY Indicator misplaced in Settings -> Date DMCP 3.24

It's bad design IMO. I understand the rationale; using a layout like the 4th row of the MODES menu takes up more space, so you wouldn't be able to fit all the functionality of the DM42 time configuration menu in a single row. But a button that indicates what mode you would switch to, without indicat...

Re: Rounding methods

The HP-42S uses round-to-even, which you can see by creating a program that just performs 1E12 + LASTX - and then apply it to 5, 15, 25, 35, etc. The same applies to Free42 and Plus42. In the decimal versions, test using 1E34 + LASTX -, and in the binary version, use 2 ENTER 53 Y^X + LASTX - and app...

Re: Collection of wishes for future SwissMicros products - discussion following Bob Prosperi's HHC 2022 talk

RPN is funny but not really intuitive, even in its last iteration, because you have to know when the stack is lifted and when stack lifting is disabled. That's not an essential feature of RPN, though, that's just ENTER being weird. There's no reason why a classic-style keystroke-programmable RPN ca...

Re: UPDATE: DM42 v3.22 / DMCP v3.24

WIDTH and HEIGHT aren't in any menus in Free42. They are in DISP and CATALOG→DISP in Plus42, but I forgot to add them to CATALOG in Free42. I think I'll add them to CATALOG→MISC in the next release.

However, as with any built-in function, you can always enter them using XEQ.

Re: Equations, units and things.. (plus42)

Yes, exactly. The top row of the Plus42 keyboard replicates the third row of the Plus42 keyboard when no menu is active. The third row of the Plus42 keyboard, not of the Free42 keyboard. I've re-read that FAQ entry several times now and I still don't see anything wrong with it. Changing the word you...

Re: Equations, units and things.. (plus42)

I'm sorry to hear that, but I assure you I'm at least as mystified about your complaint as you appear to be about what I wrote.
