Hi All,

The following few posts will contain the User's Guide, Source code, and a demo
application for my Multi-Programming Environment (MPE V1.0) for the HP48SX.  

The basic idea behind MPE is to allow machine language developers to easily
write concurrent tasks for the HP48SX.  MPE is a set of machine language
routines and macros which the programmer assembles along with the application.  

MPE requires the programmer to use Star assembler by Jan Brittenson.

The demo application which will appear in a separate post shows how to use the
various features of MPE, and provides a simple interactive graphic application
to give the programmer a feel for the possibilities of MPE.  My sincere hope is
that people will be better able to write some decent machine language programs
(games) which do animation of graphical objects and such.
MPE should also be useful for other applications which work well in a
multiprogramming environment.


Now let's see some cool programs!

I used the Star assembler and MLDL (both by Jan Brittenson) in the development
of MPE V1.0.
Jan's work in regards to these development tools is exceptional.
