Subject: Serial Interface Kit
The Serial Interface Kit that you can buy to connect the 48SX to a
personal computer via RS232 comes with a disk. The MS-DOS version
has some of the following files on the disk. The cost for cable and
disk is $25.
KERMIT.EXE An MS-DOS kermit program that talks with the HP 48.
GROB2TIF.EXE An MS-DOS program to graphics objects into TIFF
files (Tag Image File Format).
APPT An appointment calender program for the calculator.
USAG A calculator program that enables you to see the
usage for any HP 48 command. Similar to the HP 28
CATALOG mode.
CLK A calculator program that adjusts the calculator's
system clock to keep it accurate. This can be used
for navigation, etc., and addresses a lack mentioned
in Dan's review.
INPRT A calculator program that enables the HP 48 to receive
infrared output from other HP calculators. This lets
you `print' all the programs from your 28 (or any HP
IR calculator) to the 48SX where, with a little editing,
you can use them or save them to your PC.
STPWATCH.LIB An HP 48 library containing a stopwatch application
for the calculator. 25 lap times. I was not impressed
by the several 100s of a second error on each key press,
but this is all that most people will ever need.
PCLPRINT.LIB An HP 48 library that enables you to print a graphics
object on a PCL printer, such as the HP DeskJet printer.
EPSPRINT.LIB An HP 48 library that enables you to print a graphics
object on an Epson printer, such as the FX-85 printer.
HP CALCULATOR BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM
-----------------------------------
An HP Calculator Bulletin Board System is available for the exchange
of software and information among HP calculator users, developers, and
distributors. The bulletin board operates at 300/1200/2400 baud, full
duplex, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit. The bulletin board is a free
service--you pay only for the long-distance telephone charge.
Most of the above was shamelessly copied from the readme file on the
disk that comes with the Serial Inteface Kit.
