I can understand not using coprighted software, but a problem I have
had is using or modifying software that is no longer being sold or
supported by the originlal producer.
The company still holds the copyright,and and has no intention of ever
supporting it or getting any money for it but will not allow
mdification etc. They are holding it in limbo.

1. You can try to use USAG.
2. The available version of EE*Pro is a version "beta" for emu48
(HP49G), and it is not guaranteed to run in a real HP (at the moment).
If you are able to run EE*Pro in a hp49g+ (for example with the method
that Tim mentions), you should only make it with Font Large (the
minifont is in construction). All this refers to the command EE.
The keys for EE command are:
*** NS ***
* [Arrows]
* [MODE] : Mode Settings
* [NXT] : NextRow Menu
* [ENTER]: Same RightArrow
* [+/-] : used for CHOOS (menu label)
* [VAR] : used for DESC (OPTS)
* [ON] : Quit
*** LS ***
* [MODE] : Same OPTS (menu label)
* [NXT] : PrevRow Menu
* [UP] : PrevPage items
* [DOWN] : NextPage items
* [VAR] : Same NS:LeftArrow (Back or UpDir)
* [BS] : Same RESET (menu label), used by Equations/../SOLVR
* [HIST] : Same VIEW (menu label), i.e. Reference/Transforms/../Def
*** RS ***
* [MODE] : Same press OPTS+[NXT]
* [UP] : First item
* [DOWN] : Last item
* [LEFT] : Same HOME (menu label)
* [6] : Same press OPTS+[UNITS]
* [ON] : TurnOff
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The OPTS menu label:
SPD : Speed (incr)
UNITS: Units? (i.e. used by Equations/../SOLVR)
HELP : Help? (message for items)
FONT : FontLarge / MiniFont (FontLarge is FONT8)
DESC : Show HELP Description or value

> Hi, did you say you got EE-Pro working on an HP 49g+??
I was confused too. What the author has done for this beta version of
the software is to limit it's use to 49g(+) emulators, so that if there
is a "big problem", it's limited to an easily restorable emulator
rather than someone's calculator. Once the author is reasonably sure
that it won't cause any big problems, he'll release a patch (mention in
this thread) which will allow the software to run on a real HP49g(+).

current method of running the program or wait till the next version
comes out. You CAN use the program just fine by running the 4th
command in the libary with a stack argument of an empty list.
{ } ->
It is actually quite a bit of work to recompile that code into the
library on calc due to the size of the library. Alternatively, that
program he gave you could be compiled and run.

So that patch requires that I recompile the program with the source

> Any reason why?
Gaak canceled the project because he didn't have permission from the
copyright owner. Gaak's EE*Pro for the HP49 is a port of the HP48 version
which is a commercial product. In fact, EE*Pro is still being sold for the
HP48.
I'm the author of EE*Pro, and as it turns out, I've been working on an HP49
port. I originally ported most of EE*Pro to the HP49 a few years back, but
didn't have any official agreement with Da Vinci Technologies (formerly
Sparcom) so stopped work. I reached agreement with Da Vinci a few months ago
and have been working on EE*Pro in my spare time since. The official release
of EE*Pro for the HP49 should be later this month.
Needless to say I was shocked to find out that Gaak had reverse engineered
my code and had posted an HP49 port. I contacted Gaak and he removed EE*Pro
from his website immediately. (Thanks Gaak).
It's too bad that Gaak didn't first try to contact the copyright owner. If
he wanted to locate the copyright owner he could have posted a request here,
or simply contacted CalcPro which is actively selling EE*Pro for the HP48. I
can only imagine how much time he spend reverse engineering EE*Pro and
porting it to the HP49. I used a number of unsupported entry point in both
EE*Pro and Math*Pro. I also directly access the Stack and Editline
environments, which haved changed enough on the HP49 to cause major
problems. I saddens me that Gaak has to waste so much time.
It upsets me that Gaak pirated the code and released it to the public just
at the time when I'm working on an official release, but I can understand
how he thought the product had been orphaned. I also appreciate that he
removed it from his website immediately after I notified him. In the end I
don't have any harsh feeling. He is an excellent programmer to be able to
reverse engineer the code. I wish him all the best.
The good new is, you should see a fully functional EE*Pro that runs on the
HP49G+, supports more than just the large font, and supports the larger
HP49G+ display within a few weeks. You'll also see Math*Pro by the end of
the year and hopefully all the other Pocket Professional products early next
year.

Gaak emailed me his source (thanks Gaak). The software for both EE*Pro and
Math*Pro are pretty much done, so I don't know how useful it will be. Maybe
he caught something I missed.
I know Gaak didn't have any ill-will, and I can imagine how much work he
spent. I will be updating the "about" screen to mention him. I know it's not
much, but at least his work won't be for nothing.
> BTW: Gaak did a "marketing survey" for you
> I think that EE*Pro will be accepted and some $$$ will flow in
Or maybe people won't buy it because they already have Gaak's version. Only
time will tell.
I plan on porting the other Pocket Professionals to the HP49 early next
year. A lot of this depends on how EE*Pro and Math*Pro sell. If I do port
the other products and it looks like it will be more work than expected
maybe Gaak can assist me. ;)

How can it be freeware if it's based on a copyrighted program ???
It looks like your stuff is illegal of you took the program by Sparcom
and converted it to the 49g without their written approval

I'm just finishing up EE*Pro right now. The last thing to do is copy
protection. The scheme for EE*Pro will use a web based key generator so
sales will be trackable by all parties in real-time. Hopefully this will
simplify things.
Also from past experiences I know that collecting royalty payments can
sometimes be difficult (no matter who it's from). Once the money from sales
have been mixed into the company pot you end up being a creditor, i.e. just
another bill to pay. If the company is short on cash it's much easier to
defer paying royalties that to stop paying your electric bill.
I'm trying to work something out where payment from sales gets split
immediately. If I can keep the revenue from going into the company coffer
and keep from being a quarterly bill I think I'll do alright.

How does one contact Sparcom these days?
The currently involved parties
seem to have identified themselves and contacted each other,
and to have reached a harmonious understanding;
it would be good if that prevailed all over the world,
wouldn't it?

Isn't that libelous? (Maybe they'll sue :)

Sparcom is no more. They went out of business around 1995. Mega Shyam, the
founder of Sparcom, acquired all the assets and started Da Vinci
Technologies. Ironically, Da Vinci all but went out of business a few years
ago. I don't know if they "legally" dissolved the company or not. As far as
I know, now Da Vinci Tech. is pretty much just Megha Shyam.
So how do you reach Sparcom... you reverse engineer their code and post it
on the Internet. :lol: Actually, Megha still lives in Corvallis, Oregon so
he should be easy to reach. The HP48 Pocket Professionals are still sold
through CalcPro so you can contact through them. Then of course, you can
post a message on comp.sys.hp48. ;)

And how does this has anything to do with the fact that we didn't get paid ?
Nothing to do with communication, good or bad.

Marcus Aurelius:
"Very little is needed to make a happy life;
it is all within yourself"
"From Alexander I learned to refrain from fault-finding, and
not in a reproachful way to chide those who uttered any barbarous
or solecistic or strange-sounding expression; but dexterously
to introduce the very expression which ought to have been used."
"and with respect to those who have offended me by words,
or done me wrong, to be easily disposed to be pacified
and reconciled, as soon as they have shown a readiness
to be reconciled; and to read carefully,
and not to be satisfied with a superficial understanding"
"Thou seest how few the things are, the which if a man lays
hold of, he is able to live a life which flows in quiet,
and is like the existence of the gods; for the gods on their part
will require nothing more from him who observes these things."
"Through not observing what is in the mind of another a man has seldom
been seen to be unhappy; but those who do not observe the movements
of their own minds must of necessity be unhappy."
"This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole,
and what is my nature, and how this is related to that, and what kind
of a part it is of what kind of a whole; and that there is no one
who hinders thee from always doing and saying the things which are
according to the nature of which thou art a part."
"If thou art pained by any external thing,
it is not this that disturbs thee, but thy own judgment about it.
And it is in thy power to wipe out this judgment now."
"The soul of man does violence to itself, first of all, when it
becomes an abscess and, as it were, a tumour on the universe,
so far as it can. For to be vexed at anything which happens
is a separation of ourselves from nature, in some part of which
the natures of all other things are contained. In the next place,
the soul does violence to itself when it turns away from any man,
or even moves towards him with the intention of injuring,
such as are the souls of those who are angry. In the third place,
the soul does violence to itself when it is overpowered by pleasure
or by pain. Fourthly, when it plays a part, and does or says anything
insincerely and untruly. Fifthly, when it allows any act of its own
and any movement to be without an aim, and does anything thoughtlessly
and without considering what it is, it being right that even the
smallest things be done with reference to an end."
"Consider how many things in the same indivisible time take place in
each of us, things which concern the body and things which concern
the soul: and so thou wilt not wonder if many more things, or rather
all things which come into existence in that which is the one and
all, which we call Cosmos, exist in it at the same time."

deception. Sparcom's product does not support some of the most important
uses of a smith chart and thereby can not truthfully be called a Smith
chart. If you are giving it away then fine but when you charge people for
something that they don't get that is another story. I spoke to the Engineer
that wrote the "Smith chart" code and after our conversation he agreed that
it really was not a Smith chart. The fact that I am warning all others is in
fact a positive comment even if you are unable to see that. If you want

Sorry for such a long delay. EE*Pro was actually finished way back in
October. It took a bit longer to get the documentation finished. Still,
it
should have been released months ago. A bunch of things conspired to
cause
the delay. I won't go into the details, but it should be released
within the
month.
BTW, The library supports the full 49G+ display.
