While I can develop for Windows, Linux, Pocket PC, and PalmOS, at zero cost apart from a generic PC and a copy of Windows (both of which I need for many other reasons anyway), iPhone development is a slightly more elitist affair.

Like I said, hopefully this is just the initial release of an application that will be updated and improved in short order, as Antonio Lagana has done so diligently with i41cxp. The lack of program IO, which we have in i41cxp, is a bit of a bummer, and the lack of persistence of print out contents is, I hope, a bug. My only disappointment in this release of Byron Foster is that it is (hopefully) an incomplete work in progress. This off course would require a new name since Free42 would no longer make sense. Thomas Okken has always advised me that there would be a token charge, if only to cover development costs and the fees associated with posted to the App Store. Hey, $4.99 for a HP42!, whats not to like Re: Free42 Port of HP-42S for iPhone now available - Howard Lazerson - 01-11-2009 Well, I hoped, Free42 also means that it is free. Re: Free42 Port of HP-42S for iPhone now available - Matthias Wehrli - 01-11-2009 I may send Thomas a note to learn what is happening? I am assuming this is but the first release of a fine app that will be elaborated over time with expanded features so it has the I/O capability of the Palm, Windows, and Linux versions. There is no program I/O yet, the printer output is cleared between launches of the program, and Shift > Catalog > MEM reports 65536 bytes, even though much for of the device's RAM is available to the app., e.g 1000 ENTER Shift Matrix NEW dimensions a new 1000 x 1000 matrix in no time. This isn't Thomas Okken's intended version-rather, it is Byron Foster port which Thomas is hoping to expand in order to allow for convenient program I/O, among other other things.Īctually, this $5 app seems pretty well indistinguishable from the beta version Thomas gave me to play with a few weeks back.
