Then you can compile your code to the native widget set of any GUI. Message #14 Posted by Egan Ford on 16 July 2008, 4:36 p.m., I don't know about you but the GTK interface scares the willies out of me! I'd really like to be able to produce a Linux version of some of my simulations but currently it is just too hard.Įdited: 16 July 2008, 4:40 p.m. I rather like your HP67 screenshot, do the buttons 'move' as well? Plenty of room for the addiction to grow!
I've already had a few requests from Mac and Linux enthusiasts.
I originally chose a platform that would reinforce me on the latest Microsoft technologies, in this case: dotnet 3.5 and Windows Presentation Framework. Regarding the addictive aspects, I think mine might tend towards targeting other platforms. Message #12 Posted by MikeO on 15 July 2008, 9:40 a.m., NET runtime but the screen shots look very good - I really like the pretty print idea.
I haven't managed to run either of your emulators yet as I can't download and install the. When I started I only wanted a replacement for my own HP33C but this is the result so far. Warning - It is addictive, the urge to complete your own virtual collection can be quite compelling!!
I'd be glad to chat offline about the 97 crash - my email address is on the website. In response to message #9 by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) Message #10 Posted by MikeO on 15 July 2008, 9:24 a.m., Both were downloaded a coupla minutes ago. The HP 67 Emulator (trial version) works nicely on my XP machine. Message #9 Posted by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) on 15 July 2008, 5:23 a.m.,
I try pretty hard to address issues through the email address on the site. The website has release notes and documentation. The evaluation version is fully functional as-is - although, it does beg for money from time to time (for support and development). Message #8 Posted by MikeO on 15 July 2008, 9:23 a.m., In response to message #6 by Valentin Albillo Message #7 Posted by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) on 15 July 2008, 4:55 a.m., I was thinking of downloading them to test if some of my many complex, unpublished HP-67 programs from the '70s would run on it or not, with the idea of eventually publishing some of the best, but I need to know what the Evaluation versions will or won't allow me to do first. Message #6 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 15 July 2008, 4:42 a.m.,Ĭould you please explain what are the limitations in place for the "Evaluation" versions ? Happy computing (whatever OS you are using), But fortunately, as many people are moving away from Windows, the competition between these systems is getting stronger, and we as users will benefit :-) Windows (XP), Ubuntu, and Apple/OS X all have their advantages and disadvantages. But there is not the perfect system out there. I do not want to blame Apple as I said I am quiet happy. What is REALLY annoying is that Apple tries to make money everywhere. Compared to its price you get a lousy display and a keyboard that looks good but has its drawbacks in daily work.
My family and me are rather happy with it but Macs aren't perfect, too. Message #5 Posted by Juergen Keller on 16 July 2008, 8:01 a.m.,Īfter many years using Windows and a year using Ubuntu (which is quiet nice) I bought a Macbook (didn't have enough money to buy a Pro). Nick Tamburri has a 67 emulator that runs on my I mac, google his name for site, Howard Message #4 Posted by Howard Lazerson on 15 July 2008, 9:32 p.m., I think I might try taking a break for a while though - that darn sleep thing! C# to Java's not too much of a strech! I spent a lot of time in Java. In response to message #2 by Maximilian Hohmann Message #3 Posted by MikeO on 15 July 2008, 3:31 a.m., Which means that I'm going to be stuck with my flesh and bones HP-67 and -97 forever :-) Unless you come up with a Java version of your emulators of course. but unfortunately (or rather: fortunately?) I'm one of those happy Macintosh owners. Message #2 Posted by Maximilian Hohmann on 15 July 2008, 3:21 a.m., I've also added a "print program" feature to the HP-67 emulator so you can have a nice "pretty print" copy of your keyed-in programs. They interoperate exactly as the originals do. Since these two (HP-97 and HP-67) originally came in pairs, I had to complete the set. I may have gone a little nuts on this, but it's addictive!
