I took me so long to get around to loading it onto my DMC41x as I use a super-robust iOS 16c emulator (which I'd thoroughly tested in comparison to the 16c hardware, as a very understanding friend was willing to loan me his whilst I did an extensive set of tests to ensure the math lines up).

Only now do I realise I should have got to it sooner!

This will probably be regarded as heresy by some, but in many ways, I think your emulator surpasses the capabilities of the original hardware. Not just in the brand new features, you added, but the alpha-numeric nature of the 41 makes programming so much easier.

I tend to keep your documentation at hand as an aide-mémoire to the command names but I do that with all your releases anyway (the spreadsheet format intro pages is all that's needed).

Thanks for the feedback Jon, I'm happy you find the emulator useful and an improvement over the original in some respects. Greg and I pulled all the stops and did our best on this project, so it's rewarding to hear it's appreciated.

I use the MKeys and ZK??YN mass key assignments in SandMath and 41Z all the time, as they come in handy for those common things you access all the time. And I can see that the custom layout for the HP16c emulator is equally well thought out, so it would be good if I could get it working.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

I just tried it on my CL, V41 and DM41X and it worked just as expected. Let's first make sure you have the latest revisions of the module and the Library#4, pls. use the attached MOD files to try it again and let me know if that solved the problem.

Cheers,
