Yes, I am changing to the HP-48. I was at a local computer shop
this morning, and they said, they will get it this week. 

So by next week, I will (hopefully) have one, and the HP28
emulator will turn into an HP48 emulator. 

By the way, I have posted the emulator to comp.sources.misc in
the mean time. It compiles with Turbo-C on DOS and with gcc on
UNIX-machines, there is almost no machine-dependent code in it,
so you might have a look on it, even if you have a different 
environment.

I am looking forward to your comments.

I am certainly not going to write a Saturn emulator in the next
time. I am not interested enough in machine-language programming
on the HP to invest much time into it.

Peter
