WP 34S --> WP 31S

Well almost, I've added the octant reduction to the trig code so that SIN(180+x) = -SIN(180-x) e.g. A side effect of this will be a performance increase for some arguments.

I'd also like to move the statistical distributions from keystroke programs back into native C -- faster predominantly but also potentially a little more accurate. I don't have a time frame for completing this and it will require a fair bit of stabilisation.

I'd also like to try to find a faster algorithm for logarithms which are a bit of a sore point on the 34S.

Thanks for your information, Pauli!
I'm preparing myself to build a WP-34S (late arrival...) and was curious about this new 31S project. Maybe the 34S project can benefit from some of the improved algorithms created here for the 31S?
