Looking for the Mullish/Kochan HP book

[Matt Agajanian]

Hi all

Anyone know if there’s a PDF of the Mullish/Kochan book for programming HP calculators?

Although I don't expect there are too many books written by a pair of authors with those names, you could probably get more help if you shared the title, assuming you know what it is...

Looks like I found a PDF for you or anyone here.

After some months, I thought to repeat the search at Anna’s Archives. Lo and behold, FOUND!!

The PDF I got looks exactly as it did when it was first printed.

Here’s the link:

How safe is that site, I tried to download the PDF file several times and each time it was blocked as being malicious by Norton security? A false positive for a PDF file is an extremely rare event, so this looks suspicious to me... Often the "partner links" from these kinds of free file sites are usurped by malware spreading sources as most of the l links are generated automatically with no people checking them.

Same result (Malicious download blocked) for all 3 of the free, non-member links.

READERS BEWARE.

Thanks Max. Looks like the file itself is OK, but the site is sometimes flagged malicious, though odd to see mixed results like this, with some good and some bad. Perhaps they're using some very new (or perhaps very old) techniques for responding to download requests??

I suppose if the file itself is OK, someone could post it from a safe place, like gDrive, 1Drive, etc. but don't do so on my account, I'm just pointing out what I experienced.

It’s simply called, “Programmable Pocket Calculators.”

The other book of the slightly similar name, ‘Programming Programmable Calculators’ by Harold S Engelsohn is the TI/AOS sourcebook. It’s not an AOS adaptation of the Mullish/Kochan book. It’s entirely a different book.
