hptrans - transfers and allows editing of HP49 files
hptrans [options...] [command filename]
This program transfers and allows remote editing of HP49 calculator files. There are two modes available:
If a command option and filename are selected, a file is then immediately transferred without any user interaction. By default, HP49 strings transferred from the calculator are converted to ASCII text files. Whereas, text files sent are converted to HP49 strings.
<<Not Yet Implemented>>
Only one command can be selected at a time:
Some basic examples which might be useful:
Sends a HP49 binary file at the default speed of 9600 baud to the serial I/O device /dev/ttyS1.
Receives a HP49 binary file at 4800 baud from default serial I/O device /dev/ttyS0 while displaying progress of transfer to console.
Note how arguments can be either given next to the declared option or with a space seperation in between. Also, the order of the command, options, and filename do not matter.
Only things about hptrans which work so far:
In the endeavor to make hptrans run smoothly and error-free, please contribute as much as you can to killing bugs and ironing out annoyances.
If hptrans is not working properly and you are a developer and have time to spare, please try to make a fix for the problem and submit it to http://hptrans.sourceforge.net. Otherwise, please submit a bug report to the web site describing the problem and a step by step procedure as to what happened to cause the problem. Make sure to include a segment of the console logs around the problematic area which is available by using the option -v 3.
