About DM32

Is it possible for someone with more experience than myself to modify the programs that Katie Wasserman posted to calculate PI?
I am curious as to what the new limits would be.

For the HP32SII, this calculates 200 digits, it runs on the DM32 in a very short time.

Here's my guesstimate for the DM32. Katie's 32SII program stored 8 digits in each of the 26 registers A through Z, which was all the storage available on the 32SII (not including the i register which is needed for indirect addressing). The DM32 currently has 1826 storage registers (A-Z, indirect 100 through 999, and indirect -100 through -999). 1826×8 yields 14,608 digits of pi. The program would have to be modified a tad to use the new indirect registers, of course.

EDIT -- I forgot about the statistics registers, which are indirect registers 28 through 33. That makes a total of 1832 registers (not including i) for a total of 14,656 digits of pi.
