This program does not run on Bernhard's HP67 emulator since it uses the old syntax (e.g. tests without "?", "CL REG", ":" etc.).

But you also wrote:

Code:

; (Note that a real HP-67 returns -8.888888888-88 since it doesn't round the last digit correctly.)

The program calculates 1/9E+87 which is 1,111111111E–88 and then this is multiplied by –8, which is –8,888888888E–88. This is exactly what the HP67 emulator returns (and I hope a real HP67 does so as well). Why should it display 8,88...9 instead?
