HOWDY,
First of all to Jason Waterman: I think you got it
when you said the value you looked at was for O2 and not O
because after a bit of checking it seems that the specific
heat given for nitrogen is what is listed as the specific heat
at constant pressure for N2. This is logical in a way as O2 and
N2 are the naturally occuring forms of the two gases that we
experience, however I do feel HP ought to point this out in
the manual. Thanks Jason.
Re the same posting: To whoever pointed out my conversion
problems (J/(K*mol)->J/(K*mol)). Haven't you heard of english
units? :-) (Seriously, there was a little typo there, thanks).
Now to Rick Greville: I've tried to contact you at the return
address I saw on your message to me which was,
n223dk@edu.tamu.tamuts
and I got a message telling me 'Unknown user at that site'.
Any clues? Is the user name totally whacko? Anyway thanks for
the list. I might have an addition to it for you.
My experience with the routine at #355D8h is that it
extract numbers from real or complex arrays (i.e. BCD12)
and then converts that number to a long real or complex
(i.e.BCD15) whilst maintaining a copy of the array on the
stack. It requires the array in level 2 of the stack and
a system binary in level 1 of the stack and returns the
array in level 2 (this doesn't move) and the long real or
long complex in level 1. For example
2: [ 99 74 67 ]
1: <2h>
#355D8h SYSEVAL
produces
2: [ 99 74 67 ]
1: Long Real
where the long real is the long real version of 74.
Or
2: [ (3,3) (5,5) (6,6) (7,7) ]
1: <3h>
#355D8 SYSEVAL
produces
2: [ (3,3) (5,5) (6,6) (7,7) ]
1: Long complex
where the long complex is the long form of
(6,6)
I haven't tested much beyond this, but this seems
quite a reasonable use for the routine,
Conrad
