Trigonometric Functions for the HP-38C/HP-12C

Please, do not use 2 y^x for squaring. [ENTER] [x] is much faster and less prone to roundoff errors. It even sets LastX correctly.

You could adjust these references and thus avoid all those slow forward and backward jumps. Since you got the listing you can easily do it on paper, doublecheck everything and then simply enter the modified program. ;-)
