New firmware for the Swissmicros DM15L

[Johnp_g]

All seems to work nicely now!

I haven't come across anything that demonstrates the advantage of selectable precision for the SOLVE function yet, and I wonder how much precious space this takes up?

One thing that I've only just realized....

On a HP15C and DM15L it's possible to have programs with labels other than A-E. They can be numeric "LBL 0", "LBL .1" (of course that would now be "LBL 11") etc. and you'd run them directly with "GSB 0" or "GSB .1" (GSB 11).

This isn't possible with this firmware, as in RUN mode the GSB button is used to jump to a specific program line number (and GTO to jump to a specific LBL (letter/number).

If I've written a small utility prog (actually I did, last night, to find the unit vector given a complex number) and given it LBL 0 there's no quick way to run it. The only way I found is via

GTO
"Go TO LBL: "
0
ENTER

and then to use R/S to run from that point.

Much simpler is the HP way :

GSB 0

I haven't found a desire to directly jump to a line number from Run Mode. Since the line numbers on this firmware don't often increase in single steps, depending on the "memory cells" used, is it valuable to be able to jump to a line number while in Run mode? I guess for debugging it might quick to get to a specific place in the program memory once you know there's an issue around "line number xx", but is it worth losing the ability to have more than just the 5 prog labels A-E?

Just a thought.
