Execptions are JPC01, whose volume label is CAT1, JPC02 (CAT2), SWIT04 (VE30) and SWIT05 (VE7120), which were contributed by the PPC Paris Chapter and by CHHU-Italy. INDEX disks started with the swapdisk index project, back when the CHHU BBS was in action. People were going to document one or more file and pass the results back to me for some future documentation disk. After the BBS was taken away from us, the project died a natural death. It was resurrected by Mark Cracknell of HPCC (see below). Mark and HPCC are progressing steadily, you help is needed! I have my own index disks, recently updated, for all the above disks, called INDEX3 and INDEX4. INDEX3 has the current directory listings, both unsorted and sorted by file names. INDEX4 has a monster file, SWAPDIRS, with all the entries sorted by filenames. As soon as I finish writing some programs, I plan to make it available. These programs will allow you to print selective listings from the 212K byte SWAPDIRS file. Planned options include listings by machine, by file type, and wildcard search, in case you cannot recall the exact spelling of the file name. Many HP41 programs were documented in the PPC journal, and in other User Club publications, some with very limited distribution. In particular, the PPC Toulouse (Jean-Daniel Dodin's Group, now defunct) provided much of the material in CHHU03 / CHHU04. People who still have copies of Microrevue and PPC-T are hereby asked to help with the documentation effort.You do not have to translate the entire article. Just provide a one-line description of what the program does, and the required inputs from the user. Also, a brief listing of other constraints such as : MUST USE SI UNITS. This should be enough to allow users to take advantage of these programs. Additional work will be welcome, but the intent is make the programs useful. SWIT : SWap disk from chhu-ITALY, (c) S.Piccardi & S.Tendon, see address below SWAPDK : Swap disk from Denmark, published in USER, vol. 4 to date. See README JPC01 and CHHU05 have a lot of duplicate files. JPC01 has the latest, ie. debugged versions. JPC contact person is Janick Tallandier, see address below. JPC02 is a preliminary versions, final versions to be announced later The final version of JPC02 is now available from PPC Paris. I understand that there is also a preliminary version of JPC03 available. You can get copies of all the JPC disks directly from PPC Paris, BP 604, 75028 Paris CEDEX01, France, for 75 French Francs. (You must provide 3 formatted disks, and I would advise sending about 30 FF for Airmail postage.) The SASM and AREUH disks both provide HP-71 cross-assemblers for machine language programmers that run on DOS machines such as the HP-110, the Portable Plus, the HP-150 and IBM PC compatible computers. Both are immensely faster than the HP-71 FORTH/ASSEMBLER ROM. The AREUH system is copyright Pierre David and Janick Tallandier (PPC Paris, FRANCE) & has been placed in the public domain. The AREUH system is considerably more powerful, but requires more memory. After having used it for almost a year, I find I use AREUH whenever possible, using the IBM PC compatibles at work, or my HP110 at home. I plan the purchase of a Portable Plus with 1 Meg RAM EDISC, to solve the difficulties caused by the limited memory of the HP110. I could never have finished DISAMLX or TSORTLX9 without AREUH. NOTE: Documentation files for HP-41 machines are often given in the form of HP-75 Text files, or in the form of HP-71 TEXT files... SWAPGB & SWAP08 include considerable HP28C material... The graphic files on the GRAPHS disk from CHHU-ITALY are simply PLISTed. First, change the ENDLINE string to a null string with ENDLINE "", then just PLIST Gnnnn. Obviously, the can also be sent to a printer with one of the CP programs (or PRINTEXT / PRTEXT75) after minor modification are made to suppress the carriage return + linefeed that is sent to the printer after each text file record. The first & last file names for each disk is hereby provided, to help you determine if your copies are complete: First file Last file CHHU01 KA AST75N2 CHHU02 BANNER XFER CHHU03 CREA SWAPD3 CHHU04 SWAPRULE CFRAME* CHHU05 BTIMI FINDFL71 CHHU06 IMAGES1 ALLREMS GRAPHS CONGRAPH VELEX SWAPGB BARTXT NOMAS28 SWAP07 SYDMELEX SWAPSYS SWAP08 INDSYDME SWAPDISK SWAP09 EDTXTDOC LEXLEX71 SWAP10 XTOAATOX TITV1N3 or PEEKLEX (update for TKS file) To read HP-75 Text files with an HP-41, see CP75 & INDCP on SWAP08 To read HP-75 Text files with an HP-71, see READ75, READ75T & INDREAD on SWAP08 To read HP-41/HP-71 TEXT files with an HP-75, see PRTEXT75 on CHHU03. NOTE: PRTEXT75 does NOT need upgrading, as previously believed. The program was (luckily) writen in a way that avoided the problem. SWAPDISKS ON DOS (IBM PC, VECTRA, PORTABLE machines): The HPILLINK software that comes with the HP82973 interface provides a very powerful means of using PC peripherals with your HP-71. Unfortunately, the software is far less friendly to HP-41 and HP-75 users, since the software "recognizes" only HP-71 file types. Effectively, this limits the HP-41/75 user to uploading only data. This problem was addressed by Paul Grimmer of Southern Software, who wrote LINK 1.02, which is available from EduCalc. This allows HP41/75 owners to use PC peripherals just as easily as they use HPIL mass storage, printers, video interfaces, etc. The latest version, called LINK PLUS, has many enhancements and is recommended to HP-41/75 users who already have access to PC's and can thereby avoid purchasing expensive HPIL peripherals. Support for these users is provided by Bill Rudersdorf of Southern Software, see below. For information on the swapdisk program, see the following files: CHHU03 : SWAPPROP, SWPRULEF, SWAPD3 CHHU04 : SWAPRULE CHHU07 : SWAPSYS SWAP08 : SWAPHOW2, MM2ALL01, SWAPDISK The SWAPDISK file is updated on an irregular basis, and will be found on future swapdisks. I will try to update ALL versions of SWAPDISK whenever feasible. Currently, the list of people who have agreed to make copies of swapdisks consists of the following people: USA - Michael Markov Fred Buhler John S. Dearing P.O. Box 17 95 Landscape Ave 126 NW 21st Street Lockwood, NY 14859 Yonkers, NY 10705 Corvallis, OR 97330-5531 (607) 598-2547 (914) 423-1082 (503) 754-9245 Mitch Hoselton Tom Cadwallader P.O. Box 36047 1204 26th Avenue SW Dallas, Texas 75235 Great Falls, MT 59404 ===>> Tom Cadwallader has only one HP9114. He should be able to handle copying ONE disk at a time. Let's NOT swamp him with request for the entire swapdisk collection! ===>> Mitch has a Steinmetz & Brown dual drive. In 1987, I talked to Bill Rudersdorf, of Houston, Texas, who has agreed to copy the material from 3.5" disks to 5.25" disks, so this would make it possible to keep Mitch up to date. Bill is also talking about making copies of swapdisks available in the format used by Southern Link. This would certainly help!

Buitenhuis Lage Duin 44 NL-2121 CH Bennebroek The Netherlands Several other people have more or less complete collections of swapdisks, and I am sure they would be happy to help make copies at local Chapter Meetings, provided that prior arrangments are made to bring the needed equipment : Stefano Tendon, Cantone Delle Asse 5, 29100 Piacenza, Italy Stefano Piccardi, via Antonio Panizzi 13, 20146 Milano, Italy (Stefano Piccardi is now doing his military service, and is out of touch) Janick Tallandier, 335 Rue Lecourbe, 75015 Paris, France Andrew Wallace, 10/247 Oberon St., Coogee, N.S.W. 2034 Australia (SydCHHU) Graham Fraser, 25 Octantis Street, Doncaster East, Victoria 3109, Australia Nick Reid, new address not available, (SydCHHU) Al Duba, 9925 S.

This should solve the problem, but not always. If you still have problems, look at the files LEXLOGSWAP and SWPLEXLOG on the CHHU06 swapdisk. These files should allow you to correlate the XFN numbers with the name of the LEX files that use the resources in question. Then, find the file on the swapdisk (assuming it is not a commercial product), or go find it on Joe Horn's LEX collection. This last disk is NOT an official swapdisk, but copies can usually be obtained from the local chapter custodian of swapdisks and other goodies. I would expect that an updated LEXLOG will soon be available. Finally - if you are still stuck, you can always contact me, preferably by mail -- looking stuff up in my databases takes time.
