There is a demo version located on the HP BBS, but I don't remember which
directory it is in.  It is mostly functional, except that some of the help
file is missing, and you cannot save your work to the PC.  Included in the
README file, is a form that you can use get the full function program for
$30.00, IF AND ONLY IF you bought the original PC serial kit that came
with the floppies.  You have to mail your ORIGINAL floppies back with the
$30.00.  I believe the $30.00 upgrade program expires in June.

If you did not buy the serial cable kit with floppies, the part number to
buy the PDL is 82208B.  The 82208A (the original serial kit with floppies),
but the 82208AW (serial cable without floppies) is still listed in the
EduCalc catalog.  The list price is $120.00 for PDL.  EduCalc is selling
it for $99.95.

EduCalc's phone number is (800)677-7001, M-F 8:00-5:00 Pacific Time.
