Re: 43S News

The latest version still does not recognize a previous backup.bin file and memory is cleared on startup. It does, however, allow restoration of memory via the wp43.sav file, so I strongly recommend performing a SAVE operation prior to updating.

Re: 43S News

It still feels weird not to have sin/cos/tan up front, as we've pretty much consistently had on calculators since we've had LCD screens, as the 67/29/34 pushed them off for the various shifts and function keys, then they're been right there for everything from the 41 onwards. This is where the extr...

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 yo...

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. Not a complaint, I just don't understand what you are saying. I thought you were saying that the top (blank) row of the Plus42 keyboard is meant to replicate the top third...

No, I didn't. What I wrote is correct.

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

(completely unable to locate the new "A...F" function, neither in CATALOG nor ASSIGN, etc.) It's in CATALOG → MISC, but it will move to CATALOG → BASE, where it logically belongs, in the next release. Note that CATALOG in Plus42 and Free42 is a multi-row menu; CATALOG → FCN only contains ...

Re: 43S News

I am having an issue with the keyboard on the 0.22.9 release of the simulator-see screenshots. I cannot get back to the original key labeling without restarting the simulator. Steps taken: Clean install of WP43 on Windows x64 Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2006) Latest GTK+ 1) Start simulator 2) gold...

Re: Upgraded keypad

Is this relevant for a forum like this? Can the "n" be a source of misunderstanding? I do not think so. We must realize that the English language used here is, for some people, the language they grew up with; for others (including me), it was learned later with different success. To have ...

Re: Upgraded keypad

The "an" before European is not grammatically correct. Where do we stop this silliness? I'm pretty sure an American wouldn't have made that mistake. Is this relevant for a forum like this? Can the "n" be a source of misunderstanding? I do not think so. We must realize that the E...
