Even my 43S of last March , running stand-alone on battery on a flashed DM42, returns this instantaneously.
DM42 decoder/encoder error
Re: DM42 decoder/encoder error
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041
Re: DM42 decoder/encoder error
Wau Walter. Thanks for the feedback. I was a little sad, that it didn’t fit the DM42 RAM
Really looking forward to when a physical WP/DM43S is available Walter. I don’t really like it on my DM42, key mismatch is confusing - at least for me

Re: DM42 decoder/encoder error
It’s also instantaneous on my DM42 running the WP-34S firmware, and you don’t need an overlay (swapping from the DM42 to the WP34S firmware and back is as easy as loading a program in the DMCP menu).

Re: DM42 decoder/encoder error
I kept looking at the calendar... No, it's not April 1st..., no... still not April 1st... and then it hit me that this was a serious post. Well, somewhat serious...
I can say with high confidence that the DM42 will never have enough RAM to handle a program with > 150K source lines. The rationale is left as an exercise for the reader.
That said, I agree that such a failure should be detectable and some useful (even vaguely close) error message should be shown, without losing memory. In the future, when some new Free42 build catches and handles such conditions, this should be doable.
And please stop writing C programs that write 42 FOCAL code... it's incestuous...

Sorry Bob - I get crazy ideas sometimes.

Re: DM42 decoder/encoder error
Never apologize for being creative and pushing limits, that's what makes these products better.
While possibly extreme in this case, your approach did reveal circumstances that can lead to loss of memory, something that should never happen, so it's a good thing overall.
Keep pushing...
