I'm a brand-new HP48SX owner, and don't care about the Poquet/Portfolio/HP95LX wars. A programs group for the 48 would be a Good Thing as well, though I don't believe the volume warrants a sources/binaries split - especially since, as is the case with the IBM PC, many "binaries" are actually encoded source programs. Anyone wanna buy an HP41CX cheap? -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jmaynard@thesis1.med.uth.tmc.edu | adequately be explained by stupidity.
