[comp.sys.handhelds] 28s News Archives?

jeff@seas.gwu.edu (Jeff Schilling) (03/02/90)

I am curious to know if anyone has archived the articles from 
this newsgroup.  If so, where?  I am specifically interested in articles
about ML programming, hardware, system-level software.  Any pointers would
be appreciated.

(I did get the rom notes and Alonzo Gariepy's excellent processor notes)

If an archive doesn't exist, if anyone out there has saved interesting 
articles, I would appreciate copies. 

E-mail is probably appropriate.  If there is some repsponse, I'll
summarize and post to this group.

Thanks (in advance)

jeff

I just 'found' this newsgroup, and as a HP28 owner I am VERY interested in all
the stuff going on here (what is FAST/SPEED???). Could someone send me a
summary of all this?
Thanks in advance!

Me too!
I have been using an HP28 for the past 3 years (I started with a C, then got
an S when it was available) but I know nothing about checksums, etc (and the
archived ftp programs somewhere).
 
If anyone has some newuser file, *please* pass a copy on to me!
 
By the way, I have lots and lots and lots of programs that I've written for the
HP28s, since (don't laugh, folks, I'm a technonerd) I was captain of the
calculator team for our high school's math team. Here are some programs I've
written:
 
    Factorization Programs: Prime Factors, Greatest Common Factor/Least Common
         Multiple, Sum of a series, Product of a series.
 
    Fractions: Add, Subtract, Mulitply, Divide, Reduce to lowest terms, find
         the nth digit to the right of the decimal
 
    Linear Programming: Phase II of the Simplex Method
         (Note: this program is useable, but I could improve them with time)
 
    Statistics: Calculate the Standard Normal, Store a data unit n times
 
    Base Conversions: Convert from base 2...36 to base 10, convert from base 10
         to base 2...36
 
    Graphics: Parametric Equations Grapher, Polar Equations Grapher
 
    Fun: Charge!, Music Maker, Scrolling Banner
 
Note that these are all programs that *I've* written. I also have Quadratic
Equation Solver, a fast numerical answer to ax^2+bx+c=0 written by a math
teacher at my high school.
 
Note that I can't get these all on the net right now, because I am in the
middle of midterms, but these can be distributed at the end of the month.
 
Thanks for any new usergroup info!
