SPARCOM 2.5.1 Library / Split Lib / Extend HP50g Home port size

My current issue : the 'ADV' sub-program of the Sparcom 251 library (L833) seems not to work on the HP50g. Therefore I would like to split this library into directories in order to check the program commands. The size of this library is > 128KB (130925 B) which makes it impossible to split with the usual lib split tools as this implies to have more than 260 KB of free memory available.
Is it possible to "re-size" the Home partition, taking one 128 KB block from port 2 and use it in port 0 ? Alternatively, If somebody could make the Sparcom library fully work on an HP50g I'll be happy to know how this could be done !
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Sincerely/Cordialement

PS: The Sparcom library is an astro-navigation package available on the HP forum.

Funny! I was working on the same thing... I love this type of projects when I have to submit my taxes paperwork, I'm very good at procrastination!

Going back to the NavPac, I found two issues:
1) Time and date is not format correctly, this is due to the ->STR command; the HP50G needs a R-I (real to integer) (before the ->STR command) to get rid of that pesky decimal point.
2) The ADV issue, I didn't try to fix it yet because I was looking for a solution to the library repacking.

I also created a couple of side programs that I wanted to add.

I was able to split the lib using Split by Wolfgang Rautenberg... but haven't found a way to re-build it.

I'll let you know if I find something but I'm running out of ideas... someone did it before, so there is a solution 8)
