Just a silly question, but what is the need for any of these emulators of a calculator within a calculator? It seems silly to memorize unlabeled keys for their function and overlays seem impossible on a 49G. Why not just use the 49G or 48G as the calculator it is? If I need a 42S or 41 I will use one (or a palmtop emulator where I can read the functions). Just curious how many users have forked over cash for these emulators. It does seem like a cool and neat programming exercise but I miss how many people will make use of them.

Hi, I would like to encourage you to write an HP-71B emulator, I would use it.
I would also like one for the PC, WinXP. With the ability to list out programs in a multiline window as well as the actual display, print to the PC printer, save files, plug in the software modules and of course include max memory.
All writers of emulators for the PC should use Warren Furlow's emulator for the HP-41CX and get the look and feel as good as his.
Let me know if you do write one...

There is an HP-71 emulator from JF Garnier. It works fine on my HP200LX (alas on a double speed LX not fast enough, but great fun on a desktop).
Ciao.....Mike
