- By standard operations, I mean AND, OR, NOT, rotate left/right, shift left/
- right, convert from base to base, etc.
-
- Providing the functions that are directly accessable from the keyboard of
- the 48 would also be useful, though a number of these are already in the
- 19B. As far as the user interface goes, I agree that the menu system can
- be a pain on the 95, more so than the 48, but the more options you have, the
- harder it is to map them all to keys.
-
- It would be beneficial to stay with the same format as the built in calculator
- and possibly try and interface to it, rather than directly replace it. Or
- is this difficult? It just may save a lot of work if you use whats already
- there.
