TXT/RAW interface for 41 clones (and HP41!) - Pierre - 11-01-2023 08:13 AM
Using my calculators in several forms: old original calculators, clones, emulators... I have always looked for one that allows me to not have to re-enter the same programs indefinitely.
I ended up succeeding thanks to Alex Garza's PX41CX for which I wrote an interface in Excel VBA inspired by the work of Dan McDonald.
So today I have a tool called PX41CX Interface which compiles TXT sources into
- Dumps for PX41CX and DM41L
- D41 for the DM41X
- RAW for the DM41X and the go41CX, V41, Vb41CX emulators
- barcode for the HP-41CV
I recently created a site dedicated to clones of programmable calculators (http://clones.phweb.me) where you can download PX41CX Interface. The zip contains an xls file.
I tried to adapt this tool to Office 365 for Mac (2011 version NOT Posix!) but reading/writing RAW and TXT files does not work.
Despite my Mac scripts!
I don't own a Mac and have no knowledge of Mac scripts but I tried to please a Mac owner...
If anyone knows a solution I would be interested...
As well as any other suggestions regarding my site.

I can dump and restore a PX41CX. (Excellent!)
The barcodes are not generated on a Mac.
Tested on a MacBook Pro M1 running Office 365.
