Plus big screen, units, graphing directories, the rocks!

Only missing feature from the 32SII/35S is the fraction mode. I have personally no use for it, but if you have to, a program can do the conversion...

So, why not putting the effort on a DMPlus42?

As a matter of fact Plus42 is now more similar to a 48 (see the Enter behaviour and the unlimited stack), but with all the difficulties of "hammering" features (UOM, Lists, Directories, etc.) that heavily rely on 48/50 data model and double shift keyboard.

It seems your dream calculator is more similar to a 48sx/gx, but with RPN instead of RPL. So, why not to develop an RPN enviroment for 48/50? At least an Hp41 emulator already exists, so it should be possible to develop a 42s Emulator:-)

Anyway, IF a multiple equation solver similar to 48/50 MES will be added to Plus42 i would surely buy it and the hypothetical DMPlus42.....
But for some reason nor the author nor SM seem interested to port Plus42 to DM platform. AFAIK
