  On a number or my integration problems, an adaptive approach seems better
than the plain iterative method that is standard with the 28S and 48SX.  Why
didn't HP use adaptive integration?  I suppose it could be ROM space, but
they don't seem that large.  Any clues?
  I wrote an adaptive Gaussian Quadrature program for the 28S and will write
it for the 48SX when I get mine (tomorrow).  Has anyone else done any work 
with this?  I'd like some information on writing it in a faster language
(CHIP48? Machine?) also.  I'll post the program if there's interest.
Thanks,
