Hello,
I like to program in Basic, but as far as I know, there is no longer any calculator in production which use this language.
Is there a Basic emulator for Hp48/49 ?
All the Best
Pierre

Pierre, Dare I say it? The TI-83, TI-86, and TI-89 all use dialects of BASIC -- not quite as nice (in my opinion) as what you are probably used to, however. Also the HP-39G has a form of BASIC. Variable names on the TI-83 and HP-39G are limited to a single letter, which can be restricting. Tom

Hi Pierre...
Buy an old HP200LX, a CF card and adapter, load your favorite version of Basic for DOS (gwbasic, QBasic, Quick Basic) and you are all set up! I found this much more convenient than running a DOS emulator on a PocketPC. Regards; Roberto

Does it work in the 49g+ ? Can you send me (again - after the HD crash) all possible demo version of HP calcs (no TI)

Hi, Pierre:
Here in my country (Spain) there are still a number of
But if I were you, I'd try and get an HP-71B in eBay or For instance, you'll get full I/O and device control abilities, recursive subprograms with parameter passing and local variables (and environment), multi-line user-defined functions (also recursive and multi-parameter), passing parameters by value or reference, full file system in RAM with multiple, independent programs, and inmense expandability: external ROMs such as the Math ROM, the FORTH/Assembler ROM (write your own machine-language subprograms and extend the built-in BASIC language with new keywords created by yourself), the HP-41C/FORTH ROM, the Text Editor ROM, the HP-IL ROM, ... and RAM modules which can be used to extend internal RAM to in excess of 400 Kb, plus last but not least, a manual CALCulator mode which will show intermediate results, automatically open and close parentheses, and can backtrack any calculation (for instance, after 3+4*5 has partially evaluated first to 3+20, then to 23, you can still go back ("undo") to 3+20, then to 3+4*5). Most features from the above list can't be found in any other BASIC handheld, none really compares.
While at it, you should Best regards from V.

The HP-71B is a lovely machine and I have several, but beware that you are dependent on HP-IL for any I/O or peripherals, this can be a big problem unless you spend a lot on a a PC card (old PC required).

Try this excellent DOS HP-71 Emulator.

... for all the answers. I already own some Sharps, but I wondered if it was possible to use basic on modern calculators. I know it is possible to emulate Basic on Psion or Pocket PC, but I prefer *Calculators*, I mean a device that I don't have to change batteries every day... All the best Pierre |
