Sparcom General Chemistry Application Pac

[acapde]

Hi,

I finally ported the old Sparcom General Chemistry App to run on HP50G.

This is a preliminary version, some more work is needed.

The libraries can be downloaded from here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao3jLWtpNA02gZcVdwKD...Q?e=OaobnM
The 4 libraries should be installed, I tested on port 2 but any port should work.

Some known issues I haven't had the chance to tackle yet:
1) When navigating the menus, the up/down arrow autorepeat feature is not working... you can still move by item or page. "Search" does work too.
2) When a line of text is too long to fit, it fails to add the ellipsis at the end (in normal size text), it works with the tiny font (regardless, to view the entire line you can use the [=] key (RS +/-))
3) Plotting with units doesn't work. This problem seems to be related to modifications done by HP to the original HP48 plotting routines when the HP49 was born, it looks like they messed up the handling of units. As a temporary workaround, you can easily remove units before plotting (in this case the app uses SI units).

I had to carry out several modifications to make it run, and it's very (I mean very) likely that I have broken things that were already working, so simply drop me a line if something is not behaving.

Best regards.
