Both now reside in my HP-71B, and also on my TEST.DAT file on my "PC", backed up via ILPER via the PIL-Box.

No need to type in MAKELEX. Practically every LEX file known can be COPYied from one of the LIF archives using your PIL-Box.

Cruise over to Christoph Giesselink's Virtual HP-IL webpage.

Quote:Has anyone managed to get the newest version of Py-ILPER working on a Mac? Are there instructions around for a bonehead like me who knows nothing of what it takes to instantiate Python on a Mac and get this all going?

Yes and yes. Search the Forum for posts by Sylvain pertaining to pyILPER and the Mac.
