SETUP.EXE Installation program
SETUPKIT.DLL Needed by installation program
Requirements: VBRUN300.DLL, Windows 3.1/3.11, VGA with 256 colors.
To install, run the SETUP installation program. It will create a windows
program group and the icons for the program and associated files. Use the
CONTROL PANEL to install HP12C.FON. This is the font for the LCD display.
The first time this program is run, a "Pr Error" message should appear in
the display. This means that no initialization file was found. Click on
any button to clear this condition. When exiting the program via the "ON"
key a new initialization file will be created or an old one updated.
Therefore, to reset continous memory at any time, simply delete the
initialization file before starting the program.
The HP-12C is a reverse polish notation calculator, featuring a four
register stack. Numbers are keyed into the stack and operations are then
performed on the numbers in the stack. (Ex: 2.23 ENTER 4.35 +) The stack
registers are named T, Z, Y, and X. X is displayed in the LCD display.
Simple math operations are usally performed on Y and X and usually results
in a stack drop. The stack facilitates chain calculations and is one of
the most functionally significant features of the calculator.
All HP-12C functions have been implemented: financial, bonds, depreciation,
date functions, statistics, programmability, and continous memory. There
are some minor differences especially with respect to the number of program
lines. The calculator always has 99 program lines available and all 20
storage registers available for storage and math operations.
Keyboard support has been added: 0-9,+,-,*,/,ENTER: math operations,
c,C: CHS, e,E: EEX, t,T: toggle stay on top, Backspace: CLX,
a,A: About Dialog, h,H: Windows Help.
THE SHAREWARE VERSION AND THE REGISTERED VERSION HAS ALL FUNCTIONS ENABLED.
Please email me with any suggestions, comments, and bug reports. Bugs
should be duplicatable and reports should show the keystroke sequences that
resulted in the error. Extensive testing has been performed, so program
bugs should be limited.
