Re: DM42 User Manual
Reading the on-line manual, I noticed that it says Mac users can install dfu-util using Homebrew. Could that be changed to mention that it can also be installed using MacPorts?
I personally don't like Homebrew's approach to managing permissions. MacPorts follows the more conservative approach of "must be root to install stuff." Homebrew may be what the cool kids use, but MacPorts deserves to be recognized as well.

Es ist nicht der Sinn der Übung, dass hier jeder sein eigenes Manual schreibt. Vielmehr sollte das Manual "ab Werk" so gut sein, dass das gar nicht nötig ist.gruensucher wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 2:34 pmThis is an HTML file, I've already changed quite a bit.
My user book is perfect, can change by yourself!
Should be like that!
PDF does not have to be.
Und eine PDF-Datei lässt sich so formatieren, dass man sie (auch) ordentlich ausdrucken kann. In dem Druck kann man dann gerne handschriftlich seine persönlichen Notizen machen.

No problem. Most browsers can translate many languages into English automatically. Is this close to your meaning?Walter wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2017 11:45 pmEs ist nicht der Sinn der Übung, dass hier jeder sein eigenes Manual schreibt.

It is not the purpose of the exercise that everyone writes their own manual here. Rather, the manual "ex works" should be so good that it is not necessary.
And a PDF-file can be used to format and also print out properly. In the print you may make hand-written personal notes.

I have to admit automatic translation has improved a lot. Though some subtleties get lost. So, yes, it's close to my meaning.toml_12953 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 5:11 amNo problem. Most browsers can translate many languages into English automatically. Is this close to your meaning?

An offline version would be great, for use without WiFi access.grsbanks wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 4:44 pmNo need to be pained by it, Walter is right.
While discussing this with Michael and David the other day, I agreed to put together a manual in PDF form (so, printable if you want to print it) that goes through the differences between the DM42 and the HP-42S.
Prior knowledge of how to use the HP-42S is therefore assumed but I'll also point people to online resources for that machine.
What is the status of the PDF version?

Can't a website just be printed as a PDF?

Re: DM42 User Manual
It can be but then it's not paginated nicely and doesn't have page numbers or an index.
