HP-41 Boost module 0B and OS4 version 2A - hth - 11-26-2020 07:12 AM
Updated Boost module released, together with an updated OS4.
Highlights:
- Now with a manual
- Direct access to X-memory data files using XSTO, XRCL etc
- Dual operand compares, <, <=, =, not-equal, combine your own compares, IND Z <= 05 ?
- Dual register exchange, IND 05 <> 02, also between normal registers and X-memory file: Z <>X 05 (exchange Z with register 05 in current data file).
- Dynamic stack buffer, push alpha, registers, RPN stack, flag, return stack, data registers. Makes it easy to write RPN code that preserves registers that you do not want to disturb.
- The dynamic stack makes it easy to write RPN functions that take a parameter from X (or X and Y), internally mess up registers and finally return something in X, preserving the rest of the stack and having old X value moved to L. Simply push the stack with PUSHST, restore with POPFLXL (pop stack, keep new X and move old X to L), POPDRXL is similar, but simulates taking parameters from X and Y, dropping the stack when registers are restored in a similar fashion.
- Many more functions provided.
Versions for ordinary HP-41 models as well as HP-41CL (with speed annotations) available.

I for one want to say thank you for all these efforts. Pushing the envelope as you are doing for the 41 series is incredible!
