Hi everyone,
I’ve been curious about the little software tricks or programs that people still find useful on the HP-41C. Do you have a favorite routine, library, or clever workaround that you keep coming back to?
It would be great to hear which programs made your HP-41C more powerful or simply more fun to use. I’m sure many of us could pick up some helpful tips from each other.
Many thanks.

Hello,
I would generally say by thinking about HP41 (not about single functions or programs)
- RPN
- Connecting ability (storage, screen)
- huge number of topics already programmed on it since 50years
- yoga-like programming (for me)

What immediately comes to mind is synthetic programming. I originally got started in it with the byte grabber published in the book "Extend Your HP-41." Not long after that, EcuCALC had a sale on the ZENROM module, so I bought one. It makes all the synthetics as if they were not synthetic; so for example, you can put special characters in a string, directly, without the extra overhead of XTOA sequences. Now I have some of Angel Martin's ROM module images in the flash of a Clonix module from Diego, including the WarpCore which adds tons of general-purpose functions that improve the speed and compactness of programs in any discipline. I'll probably think of more later.

Bad, bad ...
I suggest admin to take corrective actions.

Thanks for catching that. I've removed the links in all four posts of this (ab)user, and banned him or her. I'll refrain from deleting the posts for now, since they were mildly interesting (outside of the spam links) and got some replies (including my own). I'll watch more carefully in the future, now that I know yet another trick they'll try.
