There are a number of programming languages which run on the Portfolio which ought to run on the HP 95LX. These include PBASIC (38K BASIC interpreter, with a few Portfolio extensions which you could ignore), as well as small implementations of Forth and Lisp. I have heard that Turbo Pascal 1.0 can be run on the Portfolio, since it's only about 35K, but I haven't tried that myself. With 512K RAM as compared to 128K for the Portfolio there should be quite a few compilers and interpreters which will run on the 95LX. You could try anonymous login to atari.archive (IP 141.211.164.8) to check out the Portfolio file section -- any DOS application which runs on a Portfolio should run fine on the 95LX. And anybody else reading this who has a Portfolio -- check out PBASIC. It's pretty darned impressive! And free is a _great_ price!

That's Turbo Pascal 3.01A. As far as I know, 1.0 never existed for PC-type machines. > With 512K RAM as compared to 128K for the > Portfolio there should be quite a few compilers and interpreters which will > run on the 95LX. And with PC hardware compatibility, there should be even more. I've had annoying problems with Turbo C programs on the Portfolio. Roger Ivie slsw2@cc.usu.edu
