Quite right but...
this method does not work when you are in the middle of an editing session.

The SmartROM uses a special keytrap to fetch the ASCII code and emit
the corresponding character and it works wherever you are (Editor, 
MatrixWriter, INPUT and so on).

After all, if you think that 89$ are worth spending for this utility,
you will get a spreadsheet for nothing !

Subject: Insert into Sorted List
Message-ID: <2b29cf68.2387comp.sys.hp48@hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com>
Newsgroups: comp.sys.hp48

I challenged my students to write a program (in User RPL) that inserts
a real number into a list of pre-sorted reals, in such a way that the
list is still in order.  They all developed linear-search methods
which work okay, but are slow.  The following "binary search" method
is much faster.  Their fastest program took over 38 seconds to insert
888.8 into a list of the integers 1 through 1000; the program below
takes less than two seconds.

                        Is there a better way?

%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);
@ ORD3 by Joe Horn; inserts a real into a list in the right place.
@ 2: List of pre-sorted reals; 1: real
\<<
  SWAP OBJ\-> DUP 2 + ROLL OVER 6 + 5
    WHILE DUP2 - 1 >
    REPEAT DUP2 + 2 / CEIL DUP PICK 5 PICK
      IF >
      THEN SWAP DROP
      ELSE ROT DROP SWAP
      END
    END DROP 4 -
  ROLLD 1 + \->LIST
\>>

Example:  { 5 7 9 11 13 }  10  ORD3  -->  { 5 7 9 10 11 13 }

Note: Program must be able to handle the possibility of insertion at
the ends of the list.  The program above also just happens to be able
to handle the case of insertion into an empty list.

I do believe that this has been discussed before here.  If my memory

than paying $15-$20 for the credit-card spell-checkers other companies  
produce now.  But that's stretching my memory....

	While editing entries.txt I first used a disassembler with AG
mnemonics. When I happened to try one with HP's I found many bugs in my
previous disassembly comments, even in the simple ones. Most had resulted from
the fact that I misinterpreted the movement of data in the registers. I found
much easier to see what's going on when the screen isn't full of similar
opcodes like "move". This experience alone was enough for me to start using HP
mnemonics and program a disassembler myself (Unix).

Just my .02 cents worth.

nice and easlily!  FM receivers can be bought (and made) very cheap and

It's available to all who have access to a fax machine.  I've announced it
many times.

The information is indexed by a FaxBack Catalog number (for instance, the
Tandy 1000 TL/3 (250-1603) is FaxBack Catalog number 1240.

Telephone 1-800-323-6586 and follow the voice prompts.  At the appropriate
time, request catalog 1220.  It, you will find, contains about 12 entries
about the TL/3, giving you the appropriate catalog number to order.

Check out the catalog at your local Radio Shack.  Perhaps if you're nice,
you can use the store's fax to get what you need.

The 4P has a standard 25pin female D connector on the back for the serial

Since I no longer have my 4p, I can't check this out. On the one I
just sold, the printer port was an edge connector; I seem to recall that
serial port also was edge, but I could be wrong.
Too late to worry about it now however; all my 4p stuff went out the door
yesterday! :-)  But I kinda miss it - even if all it's done is take up
space for the last few years. It was/is a good machine for what it is.
I've often wondered where trs80 line would be today if somebody had
Tandy or somebody had supported/promoted development of 16- and 32-bit
versions of Z80.... GAD! What would I be running today? - A Z80486???

Oops, that is in the US? I'm in Europe, so dialling out at 2400bps might
become a bit expensive. :-|

Hmmm, maybe we're not talking about the same compiler. What I have was
sold by Misosys as Misosys-C, but the manual called it 'something'-MC.
There is no editor in the package...

I have that one. Complete. Indeed at 0005H there is a hook for CP/M system
calls, but don't forget that CP/M progs load at 100H, while the low-mem
area is definately LS-DOS. Anyway, I think that swapping in a bank at the
low-mem area should be possible.
  The only thing I'm really worried about is the allocation vector thingy.
And the Disk-Parameter-Header. How many programs misuse those?
  Maybe it's better to strat by disabling all BIOS disk-related calls just
to keep things safe, and see how far you get.

Greetings, Bert
