HP19C Emulator Version 1.01

I just released the HP-19C microcode emulator version 1.01.

It is the first version, that does print correctly. I needed to understand the "pik cr?" instruction by analyzing the microcode and my brain needs more time than ever to get all things right. The pik cr? instruction does start the print motor if not already started, and tests whether the print buffer is full. If the print buffer is full (more than 20 characters in buffer) then it clears the s3 flag. It is very simple, but I'm not Sherlock Holmes, he would have been much faster.

Anyway, the HP-19C sould print now as the original in MAN/TRACE/NORM mode.

Because I don't have a working HP-19C, if anybody finds some misbehaviour, don't hesitate to report bugs.

I still didn't find an appropriate font for the printer output. Does anybody know about a non proportional font, which contains all HP 5x7 Thermoprint characters.

I will not have internet access for the next 2 weeks

That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind.
