Double Click's CCS II provides a number of good HP RPN calculator emulations, including the 41-CX and 12-C. It also lets you edit and create your own calculators & make them into DAs (CCS stands for Calculator Construction Set). Commercial & available through most mail-order places. In my opinion, a very nice program. Lawrence Miller

Also, can you set'em up so that a single keystroke can disable the function/data entry and allow the window to remain up (for viewing) but not mess up the power-keys use (eg. command, option, etc.) for another active application? Can these calculators be set up as straight applications? DAs? Both? And one last one...do they by any chance provide you with an HP 16C emulator? Anybody know the answers here?

I don't _think_ that you can "write through" the calculator like this, and I think that this would be pretty near impossible under Multifinder. It would be a nice feature though, esp. for a 9' screen. >Can these calculators be set up as straight applications? DAs? Both? Both. >And one last one...do they by any chance provide you with an HP 16C >emulator? I'm not sure on this one (I doubt it, but the disks & manual are at home...). However, you could certainly emulate one if you don't mind constructing the calculator yourself (fun!). I will check tonight. What I'm waiting for is an emulation of the HP 28S :^) Lawrence Miller Disclaimer: I don't work for Double-Click, or anything like that. I'm just a satisfied customer.

Wow! that's SOME SCREEN! :-) (did you know that on their most recent literature, ORACLE specs the maximum diagram size for thier case tool, CASE*Designer 1.1, as being 9X9 MILES!) Of course, none of this has to do with RPN calculators but that tool sounds REAL interesting! -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM
