Hey all, I've written a pile of surveying programs for use in a 48
such as spiral curves, vertical curves, intersections, resections,
lots more. These aren't libraries or anything, just simple programs
that can be stored and used anywhere in the calculator. I never much
cared for the COGO cards available and like to have simple programs to
do what I need. If you're interested in these, send me an e-mail and I
can give you more details. I also have a pile written for HP41's as
well, if you're interested in these too, let me know.

Why don't you cmpile it into an archive (zip file or such) and put it up
on hpcalc.org ?

Right next to my stuff already there, for example :) -- It's been a
while since I last contributed something to it, but from what I recall
there's

-> Intersections (2 Radii, Radius-Tangent, 2 Tangents); Area by
coordinates; Least-square curve fitting; & more.

-> Automatic plane triangle solver -- as soon as you give it three
elements it returns the solution(s), if any. It's smart enough to
detect which case to solve for (adjacent side, opposite side, etc.)

-> Vertical curves. It takes whole alignments (as many as you can fit
in memory), and calculates elevation and slope.

-> Height interpolation. Takes a bunch of 3D points and a bunch of 2D
points, and interpolates a height for them using the 1/(d^2) algorithm
(inverse of the distance squared), which is not particularly good, but
that's what the 4Mhz CPU allows :)

-> Coordinate transformations

-> 3-Point Resection

-> and more stuff I lost track of.

I also have a few more goodies I should wrap up and send one of
these days, basically the UTM/Geographic/Geocentric coordinate
transformation stuff I have for the PC.
