Yes.  I think this was the original author's way of making sure that you
don't make changes to the settings while it is active.

 When the CAT Control 'Enable CAT' checkbox is checked, the values are
 grayed
 out.  When CAT control checkbox is not checked, values are black on
white
 and
 can be changed.  Is this correct or is my logic backwards from 4 days

Simon--

Looks like a fine piece of hardware, but my collection of older
and very expensive HP calculators are all still working quite well.

I have found this on-screen calculator to be very handy.  It is on
my desktop computer as well as my notebook.  It is shareware
and very inexpensive.  You should check out http://www.dreamcalc.com/


It does lots of scientific calculations, plus financial, plus it does
a lot of GRAPHING, as well as having a lot of useful scientific
constants available.  Lots of statistical functions, Base-N and
logic functions, and over 630 constants and 80 conversion
functions.

For a list of features try http://www.dreamcalc.com/calculator_features.htm

It works great on complex numbers and does polar plots.  I am working
on the author to add Smith Chart calculations.  Here are some graphing
screen shots.  http://www.dreamcalc.com/graphing_screenshots.htm

I am just a very satisfied customer who got to know the author after
making some suggestions.  He put in 8,000 hours on the project.
It not only can use RPN, but also modern algebraic or classic algebraic
entry.

The standard edition is only $19.99.  And the professional edition is
$29.99.  All features work in the shareware download and there is no
time limit.   If you don't pay for the key it will occasionally remind you.
It is probably the best value for shareware that I have ever found.

And for free you can have the classic hp41 running on your windoze 
desktop and/or your pocketpc.  The folks actually use the roms from 
the real hp41 and wrote a processor to emulate the machine.  It 
therefore works EXACTLY like the original.  Great stuff. See them 
both at http://www.hp41.org

Having used HP machines since that day in 1972 when my slide rule 
went into the desk drawer replaced by the hp-35, I have always 
carried an HP machine in my shirt pocket where the pocket protecter 
had been before that.

I have found a machine that I like a little better than the hp41 
because of it's ability to do math in lots of different number 
systems including time.  It is only $11.85 and has a version for both 
windoze and pocketpc.  See it at http://www.calculator.org . Highly 
recommended.

I've always thought that using a RPM calculator is a sign of a great mind. :-P

I still have all my HP calculators in like new condition, except the 
case of my 15C it's taken a beating but the calculator itself is in 
mint shape. No worn out keys, they sure don't build them like that 
anymore. The batteries died recently, this morning I'm running 
errands and will be looking for replacement batteries, I hope I can 
find them. I'm so used to RPN that I really slow down if I have to 
use a regular calculator, I keep looking for the enter key


My HP-41C has the all the accessories and tapes, all in mint 
condition, maybe in 10 years I'll put them up on EBay.

I'd like to second Phil's comment on Bob's story WOW! When TI introduced the 
Datamath 4 banger I bought one via a friend that worked at TI at half of retail 
price, but as I remember that was still quite pricy. After buying one more TI, 
I've owned nothing but H-P's. 

When I was taking my Extra exam, (using my H-P 11C) I paused to think that the 
first time I worked those reactance, and resonance equations and did  polar - 
rectangular conversions, I was doing them with a slip stick, trig tables, and 
log tables. Sure was easier to push just a couple of buttons. Hand me down my 
walking cane.

RPN is the natural way to think, it's also the way computers work. Once you 
work with RPN it's more difficult to work with 'standard' calculators. In 
fact it's much more difficult to create a standard calculator than it is to 
create RPN, but the basic calculator chips are now so cheap it makes little 
difference.

This is a very good explanation of RPN, and it,s associate languange Forth. 
For years I worked with the HP 11C in RPN and still have two HP11C 
calculators which I use on a daily basis, as well as doing a lot of 
programming in Forth.  This article brings back the good old times.


The Forth language is reviewed and explained very well and many links to 
Forth interests are listed.

To add 100 to 200 you go


100 200 +

and the first tests anyone does with IPS is to play RPN calculator with it.
