   No, never heard of it. Is this a new product? Is it really running DOS? wow!
   It is strange that such an important machine, and made my HP, have never
   been mentioned in this news group. Maybe you should try comp.sys.hp or
   something.

You haven't been reading this group very long, have you?  The HP
95LX is mentioned fairly often, though not mentioned here as
often as it used to be before comp.sys.palmtops was created.
Similarly, most discussion about the HP 48SX goes on in
comp.sys.hp48.  If you were reading comp.sys.handhelds during the
time that the new groups were proposed and debated, I can't
believe that you would have forgotten.

Newsgroups: comp.sys.handhelds
Keywords: 48 48sx graph y-int y-intercept

Ok, here's a simple example for you to try.  Since you asked for the
y-intercept, I'm choosing a simple line equation: y = 3x - 1.
The slope is 3, the intercept is -1.  Here's a key sequence:

1) Either using the Equation Editor (left shift - ENTER) or by entering
the equation directly on the stack, get the thing entered so you see
the following on level 1 of your stack display:

      'Y=3*X-1'

Note that if you enter it directly on the stack, you must turn on 
algebraic mode by preceding the entry with the ' key (right above
the SIN key).  When you press ENTER to place it on the stack, the 
closing ' character will be added automatically.

2) Press left-shift 8 to get to the PLOT menu.

3) Press STEQ to enter the current equation from the stack to be the
current equation, STEQ = STack EQuation

4) Press PLOTR to enter the PLOTTER menu  (far left function key)

5) To set up X as the independant variable, enter 'X on the stack (notice
the ' key again) and press INDEP.  Notice that if you do this right, the
top of the display will indicate "Indep: 'X'" to let you know it worked.

6) For our hypothetical example, let's set the x-range to be from -1 to
1 so we can see the y-intercept and the x-intercept.  To do this, enter
the numbers directly by pressing: -1 SPC 1 .  This places the range on
the command line.  Now press XRNG (4th function key) to set the x-range
to the chosen limits.  Notice the display updates and says
"x:     -1        1" to indicate the new range has been accepted.

7) Now, to plot the line, press AUTO.  This auto-scales the y-range and
plots the line.

8) To find the x-axis intercept, use the arrow keys to move the cursor
closer to the x-intercept point and press FCN to enter the Function
menu, then press ROOT (1st function key).  Press + to place the root
(x-intercept) on the stack for later use.  OR instead of pressing ROOT,
press ISECT to find the x-intercept.  For plots of single functions,
these two functions work the same in giving the intercept of the x-axis.

9) To find the y-axis intercept (HERE IT IS!), first press FCN to enter
the Function menu...if you haven't already done so from step 8.  Press
NXT once to display the next set of function key assignments.  Now, using
the arrow keys, position the cursor so it is RIGHT ON the y-axis...this
is easy since the cursor looks like a "+".  Now press F(X) to give the
value of the function where the cursor is...which of course is on the
y-axis so F(X) returns the value of the y-intercept!  In this case, the
value returned is -1, which we know is correct.  Press + to enter the
value on the stack.

10) Assuming you are done playing with the plot and want to look at the
stack to write down what you didn't right down before...press ATTN (the
ON key).  Voila!  There's the info you gathered!  

Good luck on those exams!  You may want to simplify these instructions
now that you know what to do.

A 2Mhz 6809 with external clock inputs in a plastic dip package.
Pin compatable with other 6809E types, but not with 6809's without the
E suffix.  (Without the suffix, the chip has an internal clock
oscilator.)

If you mean that a ceramic-packaged 6809 would be an MC6809CP, you are
incorrect.

Motorola uses the "L" and "LC" suffixes for ceramic parts.

Hello,

   I am looking for a portable c-based 6809 assembler.  I know there are quite
a few out there, but frankly I have yet to find one that is not >10 years old.
I'd like to get it running on my Amiga, so if it was designed for Unix, it
won't be that hard to port.  If it's too MS-DOS specific, it's not going to be
too useful for me.  Any suggestions?

I think you better check with the Motorola's MC6839 which is a 8K ROM of
floating point operations.  Read the data book first.

I think it was discontinued.  Perhaps you can request a copy from
Motorola or somebody else (me? if motorola grant me the right to copy

B means 2.0 MHZ maximum E clock.
E means external clock generator needed--no on-chip oscillator.
  This means you need an oscillator or a Pierce crystal oscillator.
P means plastic package, 40 pin DIP.

 This is a 4 MHz (B), external clock (E), plastic package (P) 6809. code
wise it is 100% the same, but the signals and pinout differs.

It _is_ a normal 6809.  It is the 2 MHz version with external clock generation
and a plastic package.

Translation guide:
      68x09xx
        ^  ^^
        |  ||
        |  |+----- Package (P = Plastic, ? = Ceramic)
        |  +------ Clock source (E = External, nothing = Internal)
        +--------- Clock speed (A = 1.5 MHz, B = 2.0 MHz, nothing = 1.0 MHz)

There are probably some suffixes I don't know about or don't remember (such
as the suffix for ceramic), but this should be enough.  The Motorola data
sheet includes a full list of what suffixes are available.

One of the places you'd be likely to find a 68B09EP is a CoCo III.

Provided that you check that certain enabling conditions are satisfied
(eg. you haven't put the addresses of local variables in global data),
then tail-call optimisation is perfectly legal according to the ANSI
standard for C, and a very large number of C compilers (including gcc)
implement this optimisation.  It is not a new feature of C, just an
optimisation technique.

(Incidentally, none of the optimisations performed in INMOS' C compiler
violates the ANSI standard for C.)

Although you can express tail-recursion in terms of loops in C, you cannot
express the more general case of tail-calling at source level in C.

As an example of the effect of tail-call optimisation, when compiling the
SPEC  benchmark 'li' for the transputer, tail call optimisation reduces
stack usage from 4700 bytes to 4000 bytes, meaning you can fit the entire
stack in on-chip memory, this alone provides a 12% speed-up.

'li' is written in C and it was chosen to be part of the SPEC benchmark
suite because it is typical of a certain type of application: I don't
think that this speed-up on a 'typical' application is superfluous.

('li' is an xlisp interpreter executing a lisp program to solve the
8-queens problem, so it is about as recursive as they come.
You wouldn't generally expect this kind of speed-up from tail-call
optimisation (though I have seen speed-ups of 20% for a simple coding
of the Ackermann function), but for all those heavily recursive
applications, tail-call optimisation is definitely worthwhile.)
