A manual on programming the hp48s series calculator in machine code
took almost two years to translate from french, I ordered it when I
first saw
the translation offered, by the time I received it, I had already
purchased a 48g series, and most of the entry points described
were not correct.
The best solution:
Learn to read German, French, Spanish and English, and you will
probably end up a lot more informed. Or you could just hack at it, but I
admit that reading source code does suck a bit.
