Store them in a 2-column matrix (year, index) then it should he be trivial to iterate through the matrix looking for the year you want to start from, etc.

I'm a simple man. I don't want to mess around compiling sources or whatever. I want a simple system of 'plug it in and double click' (like we had).

Any changes?

It's strange that the Euro sign is missing - but maybe Michael has foreseen it's demise

HP42s, introduced in 1987.
Euro, rolled out slowly in the late 1990s.

Using a matrix as a lookup table for the value for XTOA? Good idea.

I've not used AGRAPH, but surely it should be possible to AGRAPH a single pixel (what character would that be)? In which case, a simple RPN routine could be written to turn off pixels.

Sometimes I miss the display format from the beta testing models where there was the simulated HP42s screen at the bottom and the four stack levels shown above it. That screen refreshed much faster than it does now (when my stopwatch program was running, for example). It would be nice to see that op...

What do flags 34 and 35 do? I don't understand that PIXOFF program.

Just a suggestion though.

A very good one I hadn't considered, thank you

I have no use for the source code (nor all this fuss about it), so I'll just wait for the next normal firmware update and update as normal. I don't see the point of updating the firmware when there is no functional difference between the last firmware version and this new open source one.
