RPN Tutorial in retro style

[Matt Agajanian]

A most exciting, excellent, and completely comprehensive RPN tutorial! Makes learning RPN as much fun as it is to use.

Does anyone have a copy of the final PDF file? The link in the OP is no longer working, and when I checked the version I downloaded previously, it has the 'invisible fonts' reported early on, so I guess I never downloaded a good/final copy. Contact by PM or email is fine, or maybe post a link to it if you can so others can get it too.

Thanks

While the PDF is not there anymore, you can always print on a PDF file the original page.

If no one has the file this is an option; the results of printed PDF are rarely perfect, but much better than nothing. A careful re-reading of the thread revealed that Joe had made a PDF file that way which I now have, but I'm not sure if the source pages were final at that time. Thanks.

Here's the original pdf with visible fonts and colored backgrounds.

I agree.

I felt like I was reading a manual or a revised version of HP's Spike/Spice booklet Solving Problems With Your Hewlett-Packard Calculator.

Extra praise for the tutorial's beyond-the-basics lessons on how to work through computations that seem to need more than a 4-register stack.

I love how Hans succeeded in creating what is now considered by most to be the default tutorial detailing classic HP RPN; and the detailed appendices add even greater value with regard to HP's gradual move to RPL.

Such a pity Hans no longer posts on the forum. He's a real loss to the HP Calculator community.
