It seems pretty clear than the narrow line spacing was for the IR printer, not the HP-Il ! What do you think ?

Undefined If line spacing can be managed through some escape sequences and if those sequences are not issued, we cannot conclude.

Because Free42 is a re-implementation, free and source code is available whereas go41c is an emulation of HP41 hardware and AFAIK the source code is closed.
BTW, another and former HP41 emulation emu41 by Jean-François Garnier has HP-IL capabilities.
It has indeed been an invaluable help when re-writing HP-IL extensions.
Many thanks to Jeff for all his work !

And moreover, the HP-42s is a great calc, but is missing most I/O and expansion capabilities of the HP-41C. I simply wanted to try to improve it.

I hear you. I know Olivier de Smet quite well, if you ask him nicely he may open his code for that
I have read again the (tiny) manual for the HP82162a and could not find any escape sequence dealing with line spacing.... but I'm not an expert...

Cheers
