Lord) Newsgroups: comp.sys.handhelds Subject: Re: Info on HP-48 internals. Summary: PDL - should have been in serial pkg! Message-ID: <1991Jan6.213140.12952@uncecs.edu> Date: 6 Jan 91 21:31:40 GMT References: <1354@vision.UUCP> <2470007@hparc0.HP.COM> Organization: Triangle R&D Corp,RTP,NC Lines: 20 PDL sounds great - but is it my imagination or is this finally what was advertised (but not included) with the serial cable? The balderdash about writing software on your PC, running the '48 from the PC keyboard, and seeing the results on the PC screen is impractical - nay, rediculous under Kermit remote host commands. I bought my cable plus software back in August just for this capability and was really ticked when I saw that the software was severely limited (and available free on the BBS!). Any marketing folks at Corvallis listening? PDL should be offered at little to no cost to anyone that purchased the cable with software! -- * Charles Lord ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl Usenet (old) * * Cary, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP Usenet (new) * * #include cjl@ecsvax.BITNET Bitnet * * #include cjl@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Internet *
