* Package name : nonpareil Version : 0.77 Upstream Author : Eric Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://nonpareil.brouhaha.com/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C, Python Description : Simulator/emulator for most classic HP RPN calculators Nonpareil is a high-fidelity simulator for calculators. It currently supports many HP calculators models introduced between 1972 and 1982. Simulation fidelity is achieved through the use of the actual microcode of the calculators, thus in most cases the simulation behavior exactly matches that of the real calculator. In particular, numerical results will be identical, because the simulator is using the BCD arithmetic algorithms from the calculator. Microcode for several calculator models is included in the Nonpareil source code distribution. This is possible because early HP calculator microcode is not copyrighted by HP. [Note: I've tried to build this myself, and failed. It needs someone with knowledge of GTK+ and Python, because it uses the scons build program and seems to expect GTK header files that aren't in the -devel packages, or are in different places.] -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_DK) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
