[comp.sys.hp] HP41 synthetic programming info wanted

innovus@maccs.McMaster.CA (Innovus Inc.) (09/30/88)

I have recently gotten interested in doing the synthetic programming
thing on HP41C calculators. Where can I get some information on this??

I have also heard of "microprogramming" the thing. Anyone got any information
on that?

Thanx,

There are now several books on the HP41 synthetic programming and machine code
programming subjects. These are all available from EduCalc, whose address is:
    27953 Cabot Road
    Laguna Niguel , Calif 92677
    714-582-2637
Call then and ask for a catalog.It ia 100 pages of calculator hardware,
software and books.

Some of the books on the above subjects include:

1. Synthetic Programming on the HP41C by Willian C. Wickes (the original book)
2. Synthetic Programming Made Easy by Keith Jarrett
3. Advanced Programming Tips for the HP41 by McCornack and Jarrett
4. Extend Your HP41 by Wlodek Mier-Hedrzejowicz
5. Inside the HP41 by Jean-Daniel Dodin
6. HP41 MCODE for Beginners by Ken Emery (all about machine code)

books 1 and 2 are exclusively about synthetic programming, number 6 is 
exclusively about machine code, and the others cover many topics. Extend
your HP41 is by far the most general and covers just about every topic
possible, and is probably a "must get" book.
