With all this talk about the new HP-95 LX, I just had to go look at my calender and verify today's date,, :-) ------------- steelie@bucsf.bu.edu -------------

With such specifications (and don't forget the name behind it: HP) it would Lines: 0 probably cost like a 33 MHz 486 +256K cache and SUPERVGA. It certeinly won't come as a replacement to the 48.

Has anyone seen the new 95LX? Does anyone have one yet? I hear it's
great!! Would anyone know the best language to use for doing a number
crunching (data only) program for this MS-DOS compatible handheld? If so,
could you leave a message here? Thanks.

There are not any languages currently available that run ON the HP 95LX, although I've successfully run MASM, LINK, and EXE2BIN. I'd recommend using a PC with MASM or C, then hose the program across using a serial cable and either the filer/connectivity_pack or the COMM application. You could also get a ThinCard drive for your PC that will take the memory cards, and that makes it real easy to move files back and forth, but the drives are not cheap.
