To all at HP who made this happen: thanks. The library-builder will be a very useful application. I know I am going to pick it up and use it! One request: currently the only version available is for the IBM PC. Someone has just requested a version for the Macintosh. I would like to speak up for the Amiga owners out there, and request a version for the Amiga. Device-independent C-code would be fine. I know this means extra work, and I know that the Amiga is not the most popular computer, but I have seen quite a few HP 48sx owners post here who have Amigas. Plus, if a version is available for the Macintosh, it can't be too hard to buy an Amiga 500 (costs <$1000) and port the Macintosh version. In fact, if HP was willing (the big IF!) to send me C source code for the IBM version, I would do the Amiga port for free. For me (and likely others) without an IBM at home, it means having to dig up an IBM somewhere else (like at work). I would really like to do all this stuff on my Amiga, with HP's help. As I said above, I am ready and willing to do the port to the Amiga myself if HP does not have resources to. Having an Amiga version of the program would certainly make the hp48sx more popular to Amiga owners!
