When I was working an operating system conversion project for DASD Corp (later Cap Gemini DASD) in 1978, one of the senior consultants had an HP-01. I was green with envy. Pure conspicuous consumption. I consoled myself that it was not useful for working on storage dumps because it did not have a hexadecimal mode. For that I used one of these: http://www.datamath.org/Sci/MAJESTIC...Programmer.jpg (see: http://www.datamath.org/Sci/MAJESTIC/Programmer.htm ) Or in earlier days... http://www.newbegin.com/assets/image...ges/A2359X.JPG It was possible to get along wiithout either using the tables on a green card ...more recent examples of which were neither green, nor were they cards. |

Here is a copy of Alice in Wonderland displayed on my FX2008. Thanks for recommending it, Maggie.

(which is where I got my copy of Alice on my T|X, which is why I mention it. AvantGo rocks majorly.) |

These days for that sort of thing I use JPluck (distiller) and Plucker (viewer). JPluck (or his non-Java Perl friends) will convert web pages (or parts of or complete sites), text files (such as one might find at Project Gutenberg) or even RSS feeds to the (very compressed) Plucker viewer document format. And you don't need AvantGo to bless it. A word of caution: JPlucker doesn't do well on very long or complex HTML files sometimes, and may silently truncate them. If you're doing something like all of "Stranger in a Strange Land", check the last line to make sure thes did not happen. There's also a collection of pre-Plucked public domain works at http://dave.pluckerbooks.com |
