Prof. Rautenberg's HP 49G Tools

Read the document	Brief Description .zip contains all files and pictures. Hence, a separate download of HTML documents is not needed. Unpacking .zip creates also the subdirectory *.pic containing the referenced pictures.	Version (size on 49) [-] means not yet for 49+	Download the tool (download size)
General Tools
Appsman.htm	Allows complete customization of the HP49 APPS browser and various other builtin browsers, menus or choose boxes. Gives the user control on possible actions of external libraries.	3.2003 (0.7 kB)	Appsman.zip (8 kB)
Filers.htm	Simplifying and expanding the HP49-filer. This package contains 3 filer versions which enrich the builtin filer and simplify it at the same time. Main advantages over the builtin filer are the fast creation of HOME backups with Date&Time stamp and convenient tools for hiding and unhiding.	8.2003 (1.9 kB/2.7 kB)	Filers.zip (27 kB)
OT49.htm	Offers library-, menu-, programming- and compression-tools and allows to recall menus, standard or user key assignments, and to toggle fonts, flags and other items. Both for the normal and the advanced user. Our library and compression tools are probably the best ones available.	8.2003 (5.2 kB)	OT49.zip (38.4 kB)
Libman.htm	Gives the user complete control on the LIB key of the HP49 which becomes very slow with more than a dozen external libraries. In addition, there is a browser on all attached libraries with various subbrowsers on the lib commands itself. Libman also allows also the investigation of builtin libraries.	Libman 7: 2.2003 (1.8 kB) Libman 8: 8.2003	Libman.zip (17 kB)
Hide.htm	Permits hiding any files in any directory, e.g., such disturbing files as IOPAR and PPAR. Hidden Directory management is also included. Hidden files are known to each command except VARS. A main advantage is that hiddens are safe against unintended overwriting. Hiddens files are known to our filers.These have their own hiding tools.	1.2003 (0.6 kB)	Hide.zip (5 kB)
Choosext.htm	Makes the builtin CHOOSE command much more powerful by giving it a fourth argument, a list for creating a user-defined menu while the choose box is active, to do more than merely CANCL or OK. The latter appends automatically to your menu, optionally also CANCL. A menu list member can be a command, name, number or a list of size 2.	9.2003 (0.6 kB)	Choosext.zip (18.8 kB)
Ioman.htm	A small but powerful I/O manager for the HP49. A main concern of Ioman is to set the right parameter values in IOPAR and PRTPAR without reading large documents.	2.2003 (1.1 kB)	Ioman.zip (11 kB)
Science
Fontman.htm	Makes it to create your own font or modify others. This concerns also minifonts. Besides modification of characters this essentially means giving it a new name and font ID.	9.2003 (2.0 kB)	Fontman.zip (11.4 kB)
Mathfont.txt	MathFont is designed for mathematics and engineering.	Version 0.9 (2.4 kB)	Mathfont.zip
LFONT.txt	A universal HP49 font of size 7. LFONT is a self-decompressing font code, particularly helpful for writing logical and other mathematical formulas.	(1.3 kK)	LFONT.zip
Unitman.htm UnitmanD.htm	A flexible unit manager for the HP49G - integrates and removes units and their directories in the UNITS menu system and allows treating user-made units as if they were built in.	1.2003 (1.5 kB)	Unitman.zip (32.6 kB)

Keys
Keyman.htm	Keyman handles mode-sensitive assignments. It supports besides shift-hold also double-clicked and longhold keys. In addition, it allows to switch different keymaps instantaneously and offers a selection of top key assignments.	7.2003 (2.0 kB)	Keyman.zip (26.8 kB)
Topkeys.htm	Some useful key assignments for the HP49	4.2003 (1.0 kB)	Topkeys.zip (10.4 kB)
Time
Timeman.htm	A powerful graphic Date&Time manager and browser for the HP 49G. Sets Date and Time very easily in a graphic style. One may virtually browse through the calendars of past and future. Can be used as autostart with clock and calendar. Also comfortable Alarm setting with repeating after one or several years is possible, to remind on birthdays, say.	7.2003 (3.8 kB) 6.2003 (3.9 kB)	Timeman.zip (30 kB)

Games
TETRI.txt	What is fascinating is the difficulty caused by the random dice distribution in the first n lines. The same game can be repeated several times, with precisely the same random dice distribution so that one can successively improve the game or compete with other players.You may load a library or a directory or both if High score storage is needed for your partner.	2.2003 (2.5 kB)	TETRI.zip (8.8 kB)
Minehunt.txt	MINEHUNT (the famous HP48-game reprogrammed) comes in two versions, MINEHUNT1 and MINEHUNT2. They differ only in size, with a slower version for children.
