In an earlier thread in this forum, someone mentioned the existence of a possibly very interesting LEX called “RPNLEX”. So I searched my hard disk an found only the source file: “No problem, I have HPTOOLS, I will just compile it – piece of cake!” I told myself. Well, after a little bit of experimentation, I found three possible problems :
1) HPTOOLS doesn’t recognise the “LEX “ opcode, although in the source file, there is a constant called “LEX”. ;
2) If I get to the point of being able to compile the source, I get a object code. Is there an additional step to make it look like a LEX or is the object code a LEX file ?
3) Once I have the LEX on my hard disk, how do I send it to my HP9114 floppy drive not knowing the correct FILE IMPLEMENTATION. Is there . Is there program that calculate the file implementation ?
I’m sure this is all newbie stuff… oh well…
BTW I found a compiled verion of RPNLEX but I still want to know.
