50g

Hello,

I read somewhere that you can run C programs on the HP-50g by using a
compiler supplied by HP. Is this true and if so where can I find the
compiler?

Thanks

Merlin

Yes and no ;-)
The compiler isn't supplied by HP i think.
You can find it at http://www.hpgcc.org

Best regards, Thorsten

Hello

It is not supplied by HP, even if it's named "hpgcc"

The compiler is definitly *not* written by HP, it is a third party
software piece written by a few dedicated HP fans. It has some
disidvantages and quite a few advantages, including much increased
speed as there is no emulation layer.
