Downloading programs

While you can recover the sample programs from within RPN-38, this procedure shows you how you would download the programs from the Internet.

(iOS 13 and later: see tab Sharing)

Tap the button below to download the sample programs to your computer or directly to your iPhone.

On the computer:
After extracting the programs from the ZIP file, you have several options to transfer them to RPN-32 on your iPhone:
- iTunes File sharing
- AirDrop
- E-mail

On the iPhone:
Since the files are ZIP-compressed, make sure your iPhone can handle ZIP files. If not, install an app that can, such as iZip, iFiles, WinZip, ZipApp Free, Informant, or GoodReader, to name a few.

1. In Safari, tap the Download button above.

2. On this iPhone, Informant offers to open the file. Let's use iZip instead.
