To install, run the SETUP installation program. It will create a windows program group and the icons for the program and associated files. Use the CONTROL PANEL to install HP12C.FON. This is the font for the LCD display. The first time this program is run, a "Pr Error" message should appear in the display. This means that no initialization file was found.

Therefore, to reset continous memory at any time, simply delete the initialization file before starting the program. The HP-12C is a reverse polish notation calculator, featuring a four register stack. Numbers are keyed into the stack and operations are then performed on the numbers in the stack. (Ex: 2.23 ENTER 4.35 +) The stack registers are named T, Z, Y, and X. X is displayed in the LCD display. Simple math operations are usally performed on Y and X and usually results in a stack drop. The stack facilitates chain calculations and is one of the most functionally significant features of the calculator. All HP-12C functions have been implemented: financial, bonds, depreciation, date functions, statistics, programmability, and continous memory. There are some minor differences especially with respect to the number of program lines. The calculator always has 99 program lines available and all 20 storage registers available for storage and math operations. Keyboard support has been added: 0-9,+,-,*,/,ENTER: math operations, c,C: CHS, e,E: EEX, t,T: toggle stay on top, Backspace: CLX, a,A: About Dialog, h,H: Windows Help. THE SHAREWARE VERSION AND THE REGISTERED VERSION HAS ALL FUNCTIONS ENABLED. Please email me with any suggestions, comments, and bug reports. Bugs should be duplicatable and reports should show the keystroke sequences that resulted in the error. Extensive testing has been performed, so program bugs should be limited.
