Chicago HP Handheld Users' Conference HP48 Software Disks
"CHIP.ZIP and PUBDOM.ZIP"
These two disks full of HP48SX material were generated for and during the
Chicago Hewlett-Packard Handheld Users' Conference, held June 1-2, 1990 in
Franklin Park and Rolling Meadows, Illinois. This conference was sponsored
by the Chicago Area "CHIP" Group, which was founded as a chapter of the PPC
Calculator Club in 1976. Jack Stout is the coordinator of the group. The
first disk file, labelled "CHIP.ZIP" was distributed in the morning at the
formal conference itself, and was collected by Joseph K. Horn on the west
coast and brought to Chicago by Richard Nelson for distribution with the
conference proceedings. A rough list of its contents is below:
CHIP.ZIP

Moon Phase program Craig Finseth

The second disk, whose file in the archives is labelled "PUBDOM.ZIP", was
stuff collected in the evening after the formal conference and made avail-
able to the attendees for a nominal fee:
PUBDOM.ZIP
---------
Application Author
Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning Brian Walsh
Programs and other general utilities
Phone Directory program Ross Cooling

Various GROBs Brian Maguire
Various programs in grometry, moon phase, Ron Johnson
and more
HP48 utilities Stan Trent

Many thanks to Joe Horn for putting the first disk together in time for the
conference and to Jackie Woldering for working in "real time" to collect
the material for the second disk while we all sat and listened to informal
talks in the evening after the conference.
These disk files are available in at least one ftp site from here...

I tryed to ftp piglet.caltech.edu which is a NeXT. The anonymous user doesn't exist. ftp doesn't exist, pretty much any normal way of ftpping stuff doesn't work. Was the system overloaded after this message and shut down? All this stuff sounds very interesting. Anyone know where else all this might be? ian -- -=Runaway Daemon=-

No, no, no. CHIP.ZIP and PUBDOM.ZIP are available on gmuvax2.gmu.edu in the directory new/hp48sx and hpcvaaz.cv.hp.com in the directory pub. The files there are called chip.zip and pubdom.zip (lower case), and the same files are packaged differently in the files chip.zoo, chip.tar.Z, pubdom.zoo, and pubdom.tar.Z in the same places. Also, the maintainer of the hp48sx archives (Povl?) at wuarchive.wustl.edu said he would pull pubdom.zip and chip.zip apart and put the contents in appropriate subdirectories there. I do not know the status of that. piglet.caltech.edu is where I am, and as people have discovered, it is NOT an anonymous ftp site. And never will be. Jake sent the files to me to put on the ftp sites by U.S. mail, and remembered my email address and thought that might have something to do with where the stuff would end up. But it does not. Thanks Jake for posting a description of the contents---I was wondering myself, not having time to go through it all. Mark Adler madler@piglet.caltech.edu
