And real soon now (that will probably not be before my 71st birthday- september) I will try and set up the 95LX part of SUPER (a.k.a mizj.com )with all those 95LX special programs...


(PS: Don't hold your breath, it may be a lot of work, and I am busy right now....)

Hello there Michel,

Sorry for the off topic but I'm looking for yet another HP 95LX prog to seriously upgrade the usability of my 95LX. Since you are the maintainer of the 'SUPER' site for HP LX software (link) you might still have it. There's a 95LX section on the "old" Super site on the Wayback Machine (link). But all the links there were on an ftp server that no longer exists.

It's a program called:

Deriveshell

You can find it on the old Super site in the 'Utility' section for the 95LX (link), download link is dead.

That app will enable/force graphics mode on the 95LX for the Math program 'Derive'. Derive is the follow up of 'MuMath', one of the first computer algebra systems (CAS) for CP/M. A forerunner of the famous 'Maple' Math system. I've ran MuMath on CP/M on a C64 emulator ant it was way, waaaaaaay ahead of it's time. It could solve mathematical/scientific equations analytically. It' could do integrals, derivatives etc., etc. A scientist dream!

'Derive' for MS-DOS could do 2D and 3D (!) graphs. See picture below.



There is a version 3 that is compatible with the 95LX. However, it's very slow. And worse: most of the screen estate is taken up by the menu (see picture below). It's the only app that I wouldn't mind using the ALT + Cursor Keys for to scroll the 95LX's screen.



To make a long story short: do you still have derive shell for the HP-95LX?

Best regards,

Michel (yep, I'm named Michel too )

I guess you couldn't find it?

Anyway, I think that 'deriveshell' for Derive 2 does the same thing as Derive 3 (version 3+ is 95LX compatible). This is, it will shrink the screen size to the 95LX size.
