Hi Grant,

Happy New Year, and thanks for using HPComm.  What sort of
problems have you been having?

If you wanted to add this, the source code for HPComm
is freely available.

Eventually however, we plan to rewrite HPComm so that instead
of being a standalone program which mimics Windows Explorer,
it's actually a Windows filesystem.  That way, you'll be able
to save and load programs and data directly to the calculator
from your favourite applications, including your favourite
existing editor.

Nice idea?

Regards,

Mitch.
