- The main original software library has been updated to the new style. This means everything in the original software libraries except the HP-41C library is now updated. Every program was looked through (to varying extents). Typos were fixed, notes were added, code was reformatted and "normalized" to some extent (though various authors still have different styles.) It's hard to get all these programs for calculators that are generations apart to be consistent. For older models, I decided that keystrokes should look like keys, but for the HP-41C, I am going to keep them as they show in that model's segmented alphanumeric display. So, for example, steps that show as x⇔y, ÷, and x2 in an HP-67 listing will be X<>Y, /, and X↑2 in an HP-41C listing.
- The (huge) HP-41C library hasn't been done yet. It's hard to predict how long it will take both because it is huge and because my friends and family have been vaccinated, which makes my summer less predicable than it once seemed.
- There are still a few other non-updated pages as well. For example the simulators pages. Sadly, many of the simulators there are written in Java - once the up-and-coming language but now unsupported in most browsers. If you wrote any of these, and have ported them to something currently-supported, please let me know.

- Uploaded version 4 of the MoHPC fonts and added some additional text about working with alpha mode to the HP-41C Programming page. The new characters added are: ⊢ and ᵀ which will be well-known to 41C programmers. I noticed that Firefox keeps on using old fonts even after reloading the page and even after forcing a reload of the css file. The only way I have gotten it to switch to new font versions is to close it and re-open it. I guess they didn't expect fonts to change often (and I keep hoping I am "done" with these fonts so I hope they don't change much in the future.) I don't know if other browsers have this "feature".
- The addition of ⊢ and ᵀ were in preparation for updating the original software libraries which are still a work in progress. Because there are so many pages and the pages were submitted by people all over the world, this is taking some time. Since the server is now declaring all pages to be UTF8, that works great for pages originally written in ASCII but is breaking some of the pages that were contributed by other people using other code pages and characters above 0x7F. (Sorry - working on them...)
4/22/21
- Fixed 3 listings in the HP-95C Software Library to use combining macrons instead of spacing macrons. (Learning Unicode is still a work in progress for me.)

- Rebuilt the main pages of the museum moving from 1995 HTML which was meant to run on Netscape, Mosaic, etc. to modern HTML/CSS. Moved from default system fonts with ASCII/ANSI text to downloadable UTF-8 fonts (allowing things like x≠y?, R↑, x⇔y, ▲, √, ↱, and Σ+ without trying to create and embed lots of tiny GIFs as I once did), Found and fixed some spelling and grammar errors along the way. So far, the main page, All of the HP model pages (left half of the main screen), the Programming pages, the HP Journal pages, and the HP Advertisements have been updated.
- Many of the links from the right side of the main page have been updated as well. (Though there are still hundreds of files left to be done...) The Software libraries are the largest sections that haven't been updated yet.

11/24/14
- Document Set Version 8 is now in beta testing and will be available very soon. This doesn't affect people who need a single manual or two that are already on Version 7, but if you want a full and current set - it's probably best to wait a few days.

- Added information on the upcoming expanded Museum CD with applications pacs and manuals.
- You should now be using the www.hpmuseum.org to get to the museum. There are still pages on teleport, but they are no longer being updated.
9/27/98 Status and upcoming events.
- The museum will soon be leaving Teleport and will only be accessible at www.hpmuseum.org. This was due to stability problems at Teleport followed by their insistence that a "one time only $50 fee" for having a domain name on Teleport must now be (re)paid once per month. Most of my spare time has been spent finding a new provider and getting set up so I must apologize for getting behind on email requests.
- Teleport also added a new fee to run scripts so as of 9/27/98, the museum search and forum features are now running on a new machine. It's providing better performance than the old Teleport machines but with the web site now being partly redirected to a different machine, there could be glitches. Please let me know.
- Added ad categories and an easy way to delete individual ads.
- The rest of my spare time is currently spent scanning application pacs for the museum CD. Watch for an announcement soon.
