1.1 Disclaimer and Acknowledgments

The information provided in this document was compiled from a large variety of sources. The transformation of all the different formats to a single database was largely done with special purpose programs to reverse-engineer the different documents. This has worked very well in many cases, and less well in some other cases. If some of the information looks oddly formatted, the reason is probably the automatic extraction.

Many of the authors of the original documents will find literal bits and pieces of their text in this document. Thanks to all of them for their generosity in allowing me to use their documents and files freely.

Neither we nor the authors of the different sources assume any warranty. This document is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If you find any errors, let us know so that the database can up updated and fixed. Sent bug reports and other comments to Carsten Dominik. Reports about the ML chapter should be sent directly to Thomas Rast, but with a CC to Carsten Dominik.

Here is a list of sources which have been used.

Programming in System RPL by Eduardo Kalinowski

This book has been a major source for the database. The entire book has been reverse-engineered using pdftotext and then a variety of Emacs and Perl programs to extract and format the reference part of the book.

CAS Documentation Draft by Bernard Parisse

Bernard Parisse has kindly sent me a file with draft documentation about most CAS entries which is the basis of the CAS chapter. This covers both code derived from Erable (written by Bernard) and from ALG48 (by Mika Heiskanen and Claude-Nicolas Fiechter). The documentation is not complete, and not entirely up-to-date. However, the information given should be accurate.

entries.srt by Mika Heiskanen

Mika's really useful collection of entry description has been used to double-check the information derived from Eduardo's book.

ML entry descriptions by Peter Geelhoed

Peter Geelhoed created the initial version of the ML section for this document.

HP48/49 entry cross-reference by Joe Horn

This document has been used to make a list of entries for the HP49 in the first place, and to add and double-check addresses for both calculators.

Various posts on comp.sys.hp48

A number of post on comp.sys.hp48 have documented a set of entry points, for example the Graphical Toolbox (Cyrille de Brebisson), the Editor related entries (myself) and other stuff.

Supported entry lists from HP

HP has published lists of supported entries for all calculators in the database. The lists generally only contain names and addresses, no further description.

Further contributions

Denis Martinez, Alberto Zamora Oyarce, Wolfgang Rautenberg, Michael de Coninck, Christoph Giesselink, Martin Lang, Piotr Kowalewski, Lilian Pigallio and in particular Jean-Yves Avenard have also contributed information about various entry points and/or have replied to my questions about different aspects related to entries.
