iPhone CR4 App

I write iPhone apps. And I remember using FORTRAN and Assembler, too.

I've been reading CR4 for a couple years now -- you go, Del! -- but I would not want to troll through the sections and responses wearing size 320 x 480 shoes, even if I could figure out how to slog that much data through the device.

I could see it (figure of speech, there) on an iPad, though.

Unfortunately, I don't have to put my certified Project Manager hat back on to know that the project is not, as they say, "trivial." We're talkin' design team, formal acceptance, development team, code reviews, user acceptance testing, the whole schtick. And lots and lots and lots and lots of scope creep.

Wow! for a person of that era (as am I), you must have very good eyes or very good glasses, or both! I like my iPhone for a lot of things, but reading text isn't one, and neither is studying drawings/diagrams. For those I need at least a 13" screen. I'll pass on that app...

Fishpipe,

not into apps but a into HP calcs.

I used to own a 41C: a marvellous device, had all the peripherals and was able to programme the beast to the point where iI could handle the synthetic programmin where one fooled the system into collapse and then restarted in a very ambiguous mode. You were effectively working in something close to machine code. One of the goals of the synthetic Progrmmers was to "make the goose fly backwards" the goose being the symbol that hared acros the screen, normally L to R. Other more useful features became possible. People wrote books on this topic and i had one, maybe still have!

Unfortunately, one day , the keypad died after several years of using it! I was then faced with your dilemma: how do I replace the device.

I replaced it witha newer model ( a 32S II without synthetic programming) - BUT I still have RPN notation - so the world still lives. Ijust hope thet HP will continue with this line of calculators!!
