RE: WP 31S available at SourceForge
Maybe it's just too soon. The 31S project has been around for just three months and there are only 3 threads about it. It might need more time. Even young wines need a little ageing. I guess that you are busy with the 43S and want to get this side project done as soon as possible.

I can't help thinking that as a scientific it looks nice, but it lacks some features if we compare it with the current generation of scientific do-everything calculators.

a) Number bases, at least (DEC/)BIN/HEX, and logical operators.

b) A solver.

c) Numerical Integration.

b) c) Are the crux of classic RPN. You need programmability to do that. Unless you just have formula storing/evaluation, but that means writing a parser. It would be very useful though. It would provide differentiation from the 34S as well.

On the other hand, it has some overkill features such as the DISTRIB functions, that could be reduced to the essential and moved to the STAT catalogue... And you have to recognise that the LG affair has caused some friction.
