Thanks for the program Dan.
After I posted my question, I remembered that I also have an HP-48 (GX?)
calculator. I got it from Mobil Oil upon my graduation for some
reason. I had been using the TI-85 for years (and it still is my primary
calculator), and this HP was a whole new can of worms. I remember
having to break out the manual to learn how to add two numbers, as I'd never
used stacks before.
In any case, I had gotten 2 cards for the calculator along the way, one was
an extra memory card and the second was called Navigre or something like
that. The Nav card was written by a European (evident by the sign
convention of N/E +, S/W -), and poorly written manual) and is a somewhat
clunky nav calculator, but does work. Since college was the last time I
went into any hard core math, the thing has sat in my desk for the most
part. I will have to break it out and see if I can't work a bit with that
navigation program and load yours in as well and play with that one.
