[comp.sys.handhelds] BAG and other things...

frechett@snoopy.Colorado.EDU (Mac the Ripper/ / / /) (07/04/90)

I have recently discovered a nice program that will store names, addresses,
phone numbers, and anything else you might want.  It has smooth scroll and
search routines and a number of interesting things.  BUT it was written for 
the hp28s.  It uses an opject called BAG and another called SCR both 
written by Alonzo Gariepy.  The full program I am talking about is by B.
Fahller.  
	This are my questions.  Does anybody have BAG or SCR for the hp48sx?
Does anybody have the list.handler that I am talking about?  I just recently
saw a list handler posted here but this is something differnet.  If anybody
has this could you please get in touch with me.  thanks.
	For all you people who are not responding to my request for a comm
program because you think that everyone else is already....they aren't.
Here's a few seconds of the endless tape loop I currently have running. 
"...program...I need the comm program...I need the"  ;) ;)
For anyone who responds, thanks.  For those who don't, thanks (You might
someday.)

PIG and BAG are just my versions of PEEK and POKE for the 28S.  I named 
them differently to distinguish them from earlier PEEK and POKE routines.  
On the 48SX, they are called PEEK and POKE.  I will post downloadable
binaries, uuencoded, of all my machine language programs for the 48.  This
is, by far, the easiest way to transfer, until someone writes an assembler 
that outputs 48SX binary files.

SCR will have to be completely rewritten for the 48SX, which uses an
entirely different display strategy.  I cannot see why POKE or SCR are
absolutely necessary for your list program.  You should be able to replace
them with a little work.

I understand that, that doesn't mean that I know how it all works.

Definately.... Too bad I can't run my modem YET.  You all know what I would
say here so I won't.

The only problem is that I am relatively new (make that real new) to the hp
28/48 programing environment.  This program that I meantioned it quite 
big.  I don't have the skills to decipher it at this point.  (I AM working 
on it.  I am also up to my neck in UNIX and C.)  I would REALLY like to 
have this particular program running or one that will do the same thing.
Part of the code uses your routines though.  I guess I will have to wait 
until I can write the program myself (a long time) or someone else modifies
it.  (maybe a long time.)    Such is life... eh.
