- I agree with this, and perhaps a number of built in formulas ala the 48
- equation library. This with the costants would make a very useful reference
- guide as well as a powerful lab tool.

- The IR print screen utility is very useful, though it is only a screen dump
- I don't think it should be built into a specific application, this is something
- that should really be part of 95Buddy or a stand alone facility for all
- applications.

-
- Have you had a play with Derive 2.5 on ROM card for the 95?? This may not
- be quite as powerful as Mathmatica, but its the best you will get on a
- pocket computer currently. I doubt our friend has either the time or
- inclination to go to this level.
-
- The things I would like to see are 64bit binary, Hex and Octal with standard
- operations (AND OR NOT EOR etc), more scientific functions, a stack that
- operates in the same fashon as the 28/48 calcs. A built in equation library
- with the same facilities as the 48SX equation library, including the periodic
- table, and more conversion factors, as provided on the 28S.
