Bill,

I would suggest that you do not use the AUTO function when plotting this
particular function.  Due to (I assume) internal precision errors in the
calculations of (sin(x)):2+(cos(x)):2 the result will vary.  When I tried
this plot using AUTO, the y-range was between .999999999999 and 1.

Instead, manually set the y-range to 0 and 2...the plot will be the line
y=1 (as expected).

P.S. a variance of 1e-12 aint all that bad!

Ah! That might be why I got my <External> on the stack after editing
out the extra Carraige return in the uuencoded program I decoded and
tried to edit.  This would result in telling the parser to look for the next
"n+1" characters and put them into a string, although there were actually
only "n".  This group is great. Keep up the good work!

Hi....

Sorry Alastair, but I'm afraid you _are_ totally off base :-)

The TICKS command returns a 13 nibble binary integer which represents the
number of 8192 Hz clock ticks since the birth of Christ.  If you take
the number returned by the ticks command and divide by 8192, you get the
number of seconds since the birth of Christ.  Divide again by 60 and you
get minutes; divide by 60 to get hours; by 24 to get days, by 365 to get
years....and so on.

This is how the HP48 keeps track of time.  When you ask for the time of day
or the date or anything like that, the HP48 decodes the TICKS value into 
the time units you requested.

Dear friends,

I am very glad to inform you that EduCALC finally accepted to rebate 
SmartROM price by 50$.

The price of the SmartROM is now 119$.

Considering that the SmartROM, since release 1:C, comes with the Hidden 
commands reference manual (on disc) and the Spreadsheet library at no
extra cost, I think that now the product should result much appealing to a 
broader range of users.

Users of previous releases may upgrade the card to 1:C version
for 40$ (new manual and shipping included).
Upgrades are available from us only.

For the moment it is not yet possible to order at EduCALC neither
the SmartROM on disc nor the ESA Assembler. I am still trying to 
find an arrangement for these products.

More regarding TakeOver:

Based on what Mika Heiskanen has said and what I've heard elsewhere, it
seems that TakeOver allows execution of a program even when a command
line is present or PRG mode is on.  So, if you know that your key
assignments (in a POL for example) will never be executed with a command
line present or if you don't want it to execute with a command line
present, perhaps you should omit the TakeOver.

This is just guessing.  Until I figure something out for sure, I guess
I'll keep using them.

One more question to ponder.   I have noticed in entries.3 (Mika
Heiskanen) that there is a doubleTakeover address.  This isn't
"supported" by HP, but it consists of :: TakeOver ; .  What might this be
for?

Just my thoughts...

Summary: Energy units converted incorrectly
Keywords: UNITS, bugs, aargh
Organization: Nyx, Public Access Unix @ U. of Denver Math/CS dept.
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 92 01:45:17 GMT

I believe I've discovered a bug in my HP48SX Version E's UNITS application.
The problem lies in the conversion of the square root of the product of
a mass and an energy.  That probably sounds awfully weird, but unfortunately,
I'm using it rather often in my Quantum Physics class.

Try this:

          1_kg*J [ENTER] [SQUARE ROOT] [UBASE]

This is what I get on my HP48 E:

          1_kg^2*m/s

This is incorrect and makes my calculator incapable of solving several
key equations unless I solve them without units.

Now try:

          1_kg*J [ENTER] [UBASE] [SQUARE ROOT]

Notice that, if things were working correctly, you would get the same
thing as with the first try, but instead you get:

          1_kg*m/s

which is the correct answer.  Can anyone else (especially with a 48 other
than Version E) reproduce this?  I get the same problem no matter what 
energy units I use.  This is really annoying because it renders the UNITS
application essentially useless for the rest of the semester for me.
Can anyone come up with a fix or workaround?

I know there are several UNITS bugs in the known bugs list in the FAQ, but
I don't seem to recall seeing this one.  It's been awhile since I've seen
an FAQ list here, though...

Thanks.

Actually, a little known fact about the HP48 is that under the HEWLETT
PACKARD label in the upper left hand corner is a small optical scanner
attached to the calc by a fibre optic.  All that is needed is the 
appropriate SYSEVAL.  Apparently this (as of yet unknown) SYSEVAL will
cause rubber feet to lift the calc off the table (or whatever it's 
sitting on) and the optical eye will snake out of its hiding place and
scan the serial number engraved on the back of the calc.  :-) :-)

Hey Tim! (and all of you on this TICKS thread):

I think some one is missing the point.  The TICKS value is not a fixed
number inside the calculator.  YOU, THE USER, sets this value when you
set the clock!  The HP then keeps adding to it to keep time.  I don't
clame to understand the details, but I beleive someone (Joe Ervin??)
disassembled the ticks command to see exactly how it works.  It's
somewhere in the goodies discs.

This idea of using TICKS to identify is hopeless because the value is
changed every time you cange the time, or date.

Just my 2 cents!

Well, I hope that the guy who made the library from RF 1.2 will make
a library version of RF 2.0, too - I don't have the time for it right now.

RF 2.0 does a CRC check, and compressed objects aren't longer than before,
because with the CRC I could leave out the "match-string" now; RFU now
checks whether an object is a valid RF string by calculating this
checksum.

The only drawback of RF 2.0 is that it needs slightly longer for
decompression, due to the calculation of the checksum (using the
hardware-CRC registers)

> BTW: Wich compression method does it use ?

Since I'm not a student of informatics, I cannot tell you whether
there's a name for the compression method I use - in the old days
(on the C= 64 :) we used to develop our own methods, and so it
was with RF. In fact, it hunts for re-occurences of similar
nibble-sequences, and when such are found, they are encoded in
bit-sequences... but just read the source-code, if you want to
see more details, it's in the public domain, and it is available
on seq.uncwil.edu (within the CDP archive, along with my own
assembler which I used to write RF)

     If this question sounds familiar to you, please forgive me for asking
this question again.

     I want to buy the serial interface to connect my 48SX to my PC.  A
local bookstore sells the cable only (in a plastic package) for $35 and the
complete package (which I think includes the software and a 9-to-25
adapter) for $50.  The salesman told me that I didn't need the software (Is
it the Kermit program?) because he would give it free, I just need to
supply the disk.  But he didn't know if I needed the 9-to-25 adapter.  I
looked at the back of my PC and I saw both the 9-pin and the 25-pin
sockets.  Is it worth spending $15 more for the software and the adapter?

     Thanks for any information, I really appreciate it.

640BE is called SetHiddenRes by HP.

05B15 is called $>ID by HP. 
Both of them seem to be supported SysRPL words.

And don't try to hide any objects 'behind' the hidden directory
in your home dir. Seems the hidden dir must be the first object in some
sense.

And now for the reason for this post.

How can I get really *ALL* vars on the current dir ?

Of course temporarily purging the null named var and then doing DOVARS
would work. But is there a simpler and faster way ?

BTW: I noticed that the Memory Recovery Algorithm discards null named vars.
I once had a crash and after recovery all my dirs and vars were doing
well again, except the nullnamed ones. They had disappeared without a trace.
