I'm looking for the HP12c desk accessory. Does anyone have any information on it? (If so, send me mail at ...!dartvax!merchant) If it's in the public domain, if you could send me a binhex4.0 version, that would be nice. -- "Maybe tonight you'll fall in love again" Peter Merchant

The HP12c DA is a product (repeat PRODUCT) sold by Dreams of the Phoenix. The author (a friend) and DotP will get very upset at this. The list price is 39.95 but it is availble from mail order houses at 29.

The HP12cDA is, according to another message, copyrighted.
However, there is now a package called "Custom Calculator Construction
Set" which provides you with a bin of Mac control buttons, calculator
bodies and math routines, and lets you "roll your own" calculator
by pointing & clicking the controls, etc into place. Maybe this
would allow you to make what you want.
I have no idea how complex you can make the calculator, but have
been told that you can indeed rise above the toy calculator class.
The two best things:
The software costs $49.95
Any calculator desk accessory you build may be distributed
without any licensing or royalty arrangement.
