Hi, all:

I've just made available Update #25 at my HP site, namely the following 11 files (this makes 601 files in all which you can see and/or download for free), plus a lot of Maintenance-related changes:

• Note: I'll appreciate it if very much if you would please refrain from posting anything to this thread, so that it only contains the update announcements and listings themselves and nothing else. If you want to comment something please create another thread or PM me for any questions or comments you want addressed. Thanks.

     
2021-01-26:   Update #25   (11 files, including one new Article):

       HP Article VA054 - My suggested New Features for Free42.pdf  (click to see or download)  in HP Calculator Articles

• 16-page article, these are my well-pondered and researched suggestions of functionalities which could be implemented in Thomas Okken’s awesome HP-42S simulator, Free42, to very significantly increase its capabilities with minimum effort. All of them are based on the functionalities that I’ve frequently found necessary to use in my own programs to either simplify the programming effort or to very significantly increase the speed but alas, they weren’t currently available at the moment I needed them. This might be the time to remedy these omissions for good, most especially as they are mostly really easy to implement !
  
  The article includes all proposed functions and functionalities grouped in the following 7 categories: Math functions (including Basic functions, Advanced functions, Number Theoretic functions, Statistics functions), Matrix operations and functions, Polynomial-related functions, Constants, Loop-related functions and functionalities, Utility keywords and Additional useful functionalities. Each function is described and classified for both its usefulness and implementation difficulty, with examples and stack diagrams where appropriate and a rationale for why am I proposing it and why should it be desirable to implement it.

       
Last but not least, there's also the following files (click on any of them to see or download):
