Hello Folks,

Happened again. Bent over to solder something at a client, the trusty
HP11C slipped out the shirt pocket and hit the tile floor really hard.
This time the asterisk blinked and gave me a scare since you can't buy
these calculators anymore.

So, is there a good emulator for the HP11C? I found one here but it's
missing important stuff such as SCI and ENG display of entries and
results:

I can find lots of HP48 emulators, usually free/shareware, but I got so
used to ye olde 11C.

BTW if someone else sees that asterisk in the lower left corner: It is
the low battery indicator and after a fall you may have to clean the
batteries, clean the contacts or adjust the contacts. Sometimes giving
the batteries a twirl fixes it.

But Joerg, think how much more expensive it'll be when a whole laptop
falls out of your shirt pocket, not to mention the wear and tear on your
shirts!

I'm teaching myself Java by writing a generic RPN calculator, that _will_
include ENG and SCI mode (those are the next features scheduled, in
fact), as well as hex and octal. I'll post it on my site when it's done
enough.
