REGS41 Manual Page
NAME
regs41 - a filter to display an HP41 file as 'registers'
SYNOPSIS
regs41 < Input file > Output file
DESCRIPTION
The memory of an HP41 calculator is divided into 14 nybble
(7 byte) registers. Many HP41 mass-storage files use an 8
byte record to store each register, with the nybbles in a
scrambled order
regs41 undoes this scrambling and displays the 7 bytes of
each register in hexadecimal, one register to each line of
output. It is primarily designed as a tool for analysing
unknown HP41 files. The HP41 data is read from standard
input, and the hexadecimal dump of the registers is written
to standard output.
REFERENCES
The sdata manpage gives references to the format of the
sdata file, which is the most common HP41 file made up of
registers. The nybble scrambling is the same for all such
files. Extend Your HP41 (W. A. C. contains a considerable
amount of information as to how the HP41 packs data into
registers
EXAMPLES
If disk1.lif is a LIF disk image containing some unknown
type of HP41 data file called ST41 then
lifget -f disk1.lif ST41 | regs41
will display the data in that file as HP41 registers and
will hopefully assist in understanding the format of the
file
