Hi everybody.
From time to time I want to take a brief look at the 48's character
set. Ok, install CSCAT from J. Donnelly, I hear you say. No!
I have so many tools in libraries that my LIB menu takes a considerable time
to come up. In addition, CSCAT needs 2.4kb of valuable memory.
Here's the alternative:
THE ULTIMATIVE CHARACTER SET CATALOG (?! :-)
CCAT (c) 1992 by Raymond Hellstern,Liebigstr.8,3000 HANNOVER 1,GERMANY
Permission to copy this article is granted provided that the copies are
not made or distributed for resale (excepting nominal copying fees).
CCAT is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
WITHOUT *ANY* WARRANTY.
Features :
- stand-alone programs (NOT a Library !)
- VERY FAST
- 1229.5 bytes in size (chksum #917Dh)
- pure sys-RPL with embedded machine code
- rapid key repeat
- acts like HP's standard applications (but much faster)
You'll see a map of 128 characters in the small font along with some
more information for the highlighted char. You can move through the map with
the cursor keys. If you hold down one of the cursor keys, it will repeat
until you release. The ON-key exits the program, <BLUE><ON> turns the calc
off and <ENTER> fetches the char number (tagged with the char) to the stack.
There are three menu keys available:
SWAP Swaps between the upper/lower half of the char set.
BIN Toggles the char code display from real/hex to binary and back.
EXIT leaves CCAT.
My credits go to James Donnelly for his honourable work on the similar
program CSCAT (a commercial product).
Bye,
Raymond Hellstern
