RE: New third party firmware (Not HP'PRIME TEAM)
Hello,

Adding GOTO to PPL would be "hard" even for HP, so I (unfortunately) would not hold my breath waiting for a 3rd party hack to do it.

PPL programs are not a linear sequence of unrelated instruction, but a non-linear tree of instructions sequences. This makes it hard to do a GOTO as each sub-sequence has temporary data associated to it and doing a GOTO would force the GOTO instruction to be able to detect if the destination is in the tree, and then properly destroy and initialize the right sub-sequence temporary data (including local variables creation).

Although I work for the HP calculator group, the views and opinions I post here are my own. I do not speak for HP.
