RE: Swiss Micros makes HP 'act-alikes' - programmable
Thomas, you suggest EXE is better for non-English users, implying XEQ might be better for English users.
I don't find that - but as a computer user perhaps I am not typical of the calculator market.
Since DOS in the 1980s I have associated EXE with Executable file...and before that
i associated EQ with equality comparisons in Fortran, and would have guessed XEQ probably meant NOTEQUALS until reading otherwise on the HP museum. XEQ for Execute would never have occurred to me.
(Uk English native)
Is XEQ more common/readable in American?
Or am I biased against that by my exposure to Fortran?
