Yes, flags 8 and 9 work in the DM32 as on the debugged HP 32SII... at least insofar as all beta testing to date has been able to confirm. I can say this with confidence since I was the guy who first discovered the flag 9 bug in the original 32SII.

We DM32 beta testers have tested the fraction features in every way we have been able to invent, so in that sense the testing has been thorough. However, the DM32 is still in development, and as you know, modifying firmware always has the potential of introducing new bugs. Therefore, bug hunting will continue not only during this beta phase, but even after product introduction, since the firmware is flashable, which makes post-introduction upgrades a possibility. Even if there are no bugs at all today, new ones might appear tomorrow.

All of which is a long way of saying that the fraction code has been tested thoroughly but we're not done yet. Wink
