Sharing RPN-25 CE Programs


In addition to importing and exporting a program, as described above, there more ways to get data in and out of RPN-25 CE


Copy and paste display

In Run Mode:
 
  • Long-press display until menu appears.

  • Copy copies the display value to the pasteboard.

  • Cut sets the display to zero after copying.

  • Paste puts the value on the pasteboard into stack register X.


    • In Program Mode:
     
    • Long-press display until menu appears.

    • Copy copies the current step to the pasteboard.

    • Cut removes the step after copying.

    • Paste inserts the step on the pasteboard after the current step.

      • You may even paste a multi-line program snippet copied by the Share action "Copy" (see below).

      If the data on the pasteboard contains an RPN-25 program file in XML format ("*.rpn25"), pasting replaces the entire program, including title, description, and modification date.

      If the data on the pasteboard represents program steps in text format, pasting may take place anywhere in the program. All targets of GTO and GSB commands will be automatically adjusted. Title, description, and modification date remain unchanged. This feature makes it easy to reuse program snippets without having to worry about addressing issues.




      Using the Share button

      A number of sharing options are available. Some involve only the program code (text or XML), some only the metadata (title, description), some all parts.

      • Tap the Share button in the top-right corner.

      • Select the desired action in the dialog box.

      • Mail:
        Prepares an e-mail containing metadata and program in both text and XML format.
        Both program formats may be pasted into the display in Program Mode (as described above.)

        If you select the entire mail text for copying, RPN-25 will extract the XML version and replace the current program on pasting, metadata included.

        An .rpn25 program received as attachment to an e-mail appears as a small icon. Tap and hold the icon. You are then offered the option to copy the program to RPN-25.

      • Notes:
        Sends metadata and program in text format to the Notes app.

      • Save PDF to iBooks:
        Saves metadata and program in text format as PDF in the iBooks app.

      • Message:
        Sends metadata (title and description) to the Message app.

      • Facebook:
        Sends metadata (title and description) to the Facebook app.

      • Twitter:
        Sends metadata (title and description, up to 160 characters) to the Twitter app.

      • Copy:
        Copies the entire program in text format to the pasteboard.
        The program may be pasted anywhere into the current program. All GTO targets will be adjusted automatically.

      • Print:
        Sends metadata and program in text format to an AirPrint-capable printer.

      • Save to Dropbox:
        Sends metadata and program in both text and XML format to the Dropbox app from where you can upload the file to your Dropbox account.

      • More:
        Other apps, if enabled, will receive metadata and program in text format.

      Cut/Copy/Paste display value
       
      in RUN mode, the display value (stack register X) may be put onto or read from the iPhone's pasteboard:
     
       
      In PRGM mode, the current step may be copied or cut (removed):

You can also email programs directly from the screen showing the available programs:


RPN-25 CE opens. Switch to program mode, long-press the display and paste.
 

 

Importing RPN-32 Programs


RPN-25 CE can import and run programs created for the RPN-32 CE simulator.

The only caveat is that the locations of the statistical registers are different on the two models.
The built-in function SWAP∑ (15 98) may be used to move register values between the two areas.

There exist two easy methods to import a program from RPN-32 CE.

Method 1

In RPN-32 (calculator view):
 
  • Tap the Share button in the top-right corner

  • Tap Mail

  • Select the entire mail text and copy

  • Exit Mail and open RPN-25


In RPN-25:
 
  • Make sure program mode is selected

    The new program will be inserted after the current step, pushing the old content down.
    In most cases, you may want to clear the program memory first.

  • Paste by long-pressing the display

  • Tap the display to see the imported program

  • Use Export to save the imported program in the library


Method 2

In RPN-32 (Programs screen):
 
  • Select the desired program

  • Tap Email in the bottom-left corner

  • Send the email to your account

  • Open the email and tap the program icon

  • Select Copy to RPN-25 CE:




 
  • You'll be prompted to import the program

    The new program will be inserted after the current step, pushing the old content down.
    In most cases, you may want to clear the program memory first.

  • Paste by long-pressing the display

  • The imported program will appear automatically

  • Use Export to save it in the library

Original RPN-32 instructions Translated RPN-25 instructions
      Expanding RPN-25 with RPN-32 instructions
       
      All RPN-32 instructions will be imported and translated automatically into RPN-25 instructions. This feature adds powerful statistical functions, hyperbolic functions, unit conversions, flag operations, even indirect register addressing, and more to RPN-25.

Along with dozens of additional functions and operations unique to RPN-25, you can create powerful programs that were simply impossible to put on the original HP-25.

Importing GO-25 Programs


RPN-25 CE can run programs created for the popular HP-25 simulator GO-25.


To import a program from GO-25

In GO-25:
 
  • Make sure that the first comment line contains the program title followed by "-go25.txt"
    e.g. ; MyTitle-go25.txt

  • In PRGM mode, tap the display

  • Select Share PRGM

  • Select Pasteboard


    • In RPN-25:
     
    • Make sure program mode is selected

      The new program will be inserted at the current step, pushing the old content down.
      In most cases, you may want to clear the program memory first:

    • Clear the current program

    • Paste (by long-pressing the display)

    • Tap the display to see the imported program
      Extra GO-25 Operations
       
      GO-25 Extended Functions (called 8* Opcodes) cannot be entered directly on RPN-25's keyboard (with the exception of RND (called RAND on RPN-25). However, you can paste the keycodes shown below into the display in PRGM mode. RPN-25 expects a 2-digit dummy line number followed by one of the keycodes shown below.

(Tip: Enter the keycode anywhere in the description field of your program, then cut and paste it.)

Example:
Pasting the text 00 14 81 would insert the BEL1 instruction after the current program step.

The instructions are executed as follows:
     
      REGS (GO-25: DMP)
      Keycode 80
Switches to register display, if not already shown.
       
      BEEP (GO-25: BEL)
      Keycode 81
Sounds a short beep.
BEL is never cut short. In very fast program loops, it will sound as often as possible.
       
      DONE (GO-25: BEL1)
      Keycode 14 81
Sounds a two-tone signal.
       
      DONE (GO-25: BEL2)
      Keycode 15 81
Utters "Oh, no!"
       
      SEC
      Keycode 82
Retrieves the current second of the day.
       
      RND
      Keycode 83
Performs the RAND function of RPN-25.
