HP46 Simulator

[teenix]

Hi all,

I might have found the problem

As I didn't have access to the original HP46 code, the project uses slightly modified microcode from the HP45.

The Windows program has to monitor the calculator code flow and work out when the printer has to function and what to print. To do that the program has to get values from the 56 bit calculator registers and format the data into numerical printer text as set by the current FIX or SCI setting.

The only problem I can see, is that some Windows versions may not recognise the (.) decimal separator as I expected, giving the invalid float message. I have modified the way the formatting is done using a different Windows routine.

New upload available - Hope it works :-)

cheers

Tony
