Hi Eric -

I’m a very happy user of the HP41 in Nonpareil. If there were one enhancement I would choose, it would be the ability to support the Application packs. I know this involves creating a whole mechanism for assigning base addresses based on which slot the cartridge is plugged into, but it seems a shame not to be able to use all those wonderful apps.

Anyway, thanks for Nonpareil, it’s the calculator that sits open on my Linux desktop all day at work.

Happy New Year!
Peter Simpson

Any chance of the Voyager ROM release, with or without improvements to the core nonpareil code?

Hi,

Is there any possibility of making a Mac OS X widget for some of these calculators? Of the versions available, my favorite is the HP15c :-).

I’m checking every week from long time ago for new updates of nonpareil.

I’m the proud owner of my hp15c (24 years old, still working, no fails, no repairs done), but i learned to program in a HP97. Is there any posibility of an limited release for it? it would be lovely …

Thanks for you great work

Roberto

Hallo,

the last Blog entry is now 6 month old. Any news?

BTW nonpareil is now available for the Mac via MacPorts:

Hello. I just wanted to say I love your work. I have the iPhone version of the 15C ported by Thomas Fors. I am looking forward to having a Windows version. Thanks a bunch!

Thomas Fors LLC has licensed the code from me under non-GPL terms, so his applications are not required to be Open Source. Otherwise it would be a problem, as you’ve observed.

Thanks!
Eric

Hey, I was wondering what your reaction was to the iPhone AppStore release of hpcalc-iphone, which is based on your code?
According to the author, he ported your code to the iPhone, and he is now selling each *c app for around $19.99. What confuses me is though he has released multiple version to the AppStore, he has not updated his public source repositories (on Google code hosting) since Feb 2008, and the application very definitely links to non-free libraries (it is required to build for the AppStore).
Both the lack of source code and the linking against non-free libraries sound like a violation of your GPL license…
