  13.1.  Best Programs and Where to Get Them List

  This list is designed to help HP48 users locate useful, well written
  programs for their HP48, selected by HP48 users who send in
  recommendations for their favourite programs.

  Compatibility is noted by either SX (SX only), GX (GX only), SX/GX (SX
  and GX), or SX?/GX (Works on GX, not sure about SX).

  Most of the sites below require Internet access.  However CompuServe
  has a modest HP48 archive in the HP handhelds forum.  Type "go HPHAND"
  to access the forum.  HP48 specific files can be found in DL 3.
  America Online also has an HP area you can access using "Keyword PDA".

  Note that for most FTP sites, any programs in uploads directories are
  subject to movement into their appropriate directories (i.e. games or
  utilities), or removal by the archive maintainer.  There is also the
  possibility that the program might have a slightly different name than
  the one given below, especially if newer versions are available.  If
  information has changed that you know of, let me know so I can update
  the list.

  I have also released my personal HP48 archive, which is updated
  occassionally.  It should contain all of the following programs, as
  well as lots of others.  More information can be obtained at:
  <http://www.engr.uvic.ca/~aschoorl/archive/>

     Applications

        a choice of fonts.  Available at http://www.epita.fr/~avenar_j/

     o  ChemLab (SX/GX): A very fast, efficient, and complete periodic
        table from Arnold Moy.  Available at

        annual events, TODOs, and a phone manager.  Also by Jack Levy

  13.3.  FTP by Electronic Mail

  For those of you who don't have FTP access, you can FTP programs by
  mail.  To do this, you send commands via e-mail message to the ftpmail
  server, and it then sends back the programs, usually in a uuencoded
  format by e-mail.

  For access to any ftp site, I recommend the sunsite ftpmail server.
  To get more information, send a mail message to
  <[email protected]> with the contents of:
       help
       quit


  There are other FTP by mail servers like the sunsite server, but they
  are more heavily used, and take longer.

  13.5.  HP Goodies Disks

  The HP Goodies Disks are a set of disks that are chock full of great
  HP48 files.  They are collected by Joe Horn, and are available on the
  Internet.  They contain all shareware/freeware files.  Currently there
  are 11 disks.  They can be obtained via anonymous ftp from the places
  listed below.

  In the listings above, they are referred to by "GD #".  All the
  goodies disks have a file "fileinfo.src" which contains an index of
  all the files.  I would recommend everybody looking through all these
  disks, as there is lots of great stuff on them!
