  Subj: Morse Code on the 48sx (and serial cables!)
  Date: Mon Nov 05 1990 09:15

Last night after having a couple of beers, I got bored and decided
to try my hand at a serial connecting cable.  I got some pins out
of a shoebox full of electrical junk I had been saving, some wire,
a 25 pin rs232, a soldering iron, a glue gun, a pinout diagram,
another beer, and some chips.  After about 15 minutes I was left
with a mass of glue, wire, solder mess, but when I plugged it all
in, it worked (of course!!).  Anyway, I'd repost my Morse Code
program for the 48sx in READY TO DOWNLOAD format.  I know that it's
is really long, but it works quite well, and all you have to do is
download it.  If you want to make a better one, please do, just
let me see the new version so maybe I can improve.  If you like it
and use it, also let me know (nice to know somebody else likes
your programs).  Anyway, have fun with the morse code, and if you
get bored, try making a cable, it's not very difficult, and it sure
does make hp48 life easy!

To use the program, put a string on the stack with what you want to
send (e.g. "SOS" caps only) and press ->MRS.  If your beeper is on,
the 48 will beep the SOS equivalent and store a new string of *'s
and -'s under 'CODE' (ie "*** --- ***").  Any questions, please
email me.
