NAME

outp41 - a filter to produce a HP41 hexadecimal program

SYNOPSIS

lifutils outp41 < Input_file > Output device or file

lifutils outp41 -?

DESCRIPTION

The HP41C Extended I/O Module contains 2 commands, INP and OUTP which translate HP41 programs (stored in the calculator’s program memory) into a hexadecimal byte stream for transmission to other computers.

outp41 reads an HP41 binary program from standard input and writes the hexadecimal byte stream to standard output (which may be redirected to, for example, a serial port connected to the HP41 via an HP82164 RS232 interface).

OPTIONS

-?

Print a message giving the program usage to standard error.

FILES

hardware/* : Information on linking the HP41 to a PC.

REFERENCES

The format of this hexadecimal stream is essentially undocumented and was discovered by experiment. The format is given in the comments at the start of the source file outp41.c
