Obviously, the HP-95LX is a handheld, and of course it is not related to the HP-48SX. This is an appropriate group for it to be discussed. This group was chartered for exactly such a machine. Until some way-far advance in software happens, it is impossible to guarantee any newsgroup will contain all the information interesting to the reader and no more than that. (If you read news.admin and news.groups you will discover how difficult it is for the masses to understand this principle.) ------ Tom Conte Center for Reliable and High-Performance Computing conte@uiuc.edu University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour
