Asking HP to open source HP calculator software and patents

[Giuseppe Donnini]

I sincerely hope that Cyrille's statement doesn't extend to HP as a whole, namely that they didn't keep the source code for the HP-28C/S and HP-48S/G series. To me, that would be the most shocking moment of my "calculator life". And it would be high time for the community to try to salvage this outstandingly great piece of software, by getting in touch with pepole, like Bill Wickes, who surely must still have it -- provided HP doesn't object, of course. Maybe people who were granted access to parts of the source code in the 90's (through HP's BBS developer's conference) should then come forward, too.
