newRPL - build 1255 released! [updated to 1299]

[orthocube]

Hello, everyone.

Today, I just discovered about newRPL and this is the most awesome thing ever.

My first graphing calculator was MIDP-Calc, an RPL-based programmable graphing calculator for Nokia phones. Since then, I loved calculators and most importantly, I loved RPN input.

I bought an HP 39gs (the only one I can afford) but was quite annoyed by the fact that it doesn't have RPN input support, but was still happy, since it's the first HP calculator I owned.

But today, that changed when I learned about newRPL. I installed it on my 39gs immediately and while I was a bit confused with the key layout (can we please have some 39gs key layout support?), the fact that most (or is it all?) functions are also accessible via the 6-key menu is a good thing.

I plan to use this as the OS for my 39gs and will always keep it up to date with the latest released versions.

I have a question, though. I can see that so far, 54% of the target features are already implemented. While I'm happy with the current features, I cannot deny that CAS and graphing features are a huge advantage. But what I'm afraid of is that the ROM is already about 1MB--the limit of the 39gs. With every new version, the ROM size keeps getting bigger and bigger... and I'm scared that a future release will not be available for 39gs models...

Is that possible to happen? I'd really love to continue to use newRPL with my 39gs... (and before you say that I can just buy a 40gs or a 50g, please, I really wish that I do have the money, even for a second-hand cheap Chinese sold one)

In any case, I really wish this project all the best, and of course, I would like to thank the author(s) for this great piece of work. Thank you!
