JPC ROM F05 release notes

The version F is a new version built by me (J-F Garnier) that merges all the bug fixes and improvements of versions X and E together, plus a few specific changes and fixes. It is based on the source files I collected during the past years to rebuild the original versions X and E.

The version F includes the extended HPIL messages and the unrestricted PEEK$/POKE functions, but not the KEYWAIT$ function because it was coming from HP. It was included in previous versions of the JPC ROM for convenience only but is not part of the JPC LEX.

The release F05 is a cumulative service pack that includes the following changes:
- support of the HP scopelex messages (F02)
- support of 16MB volume for MAXD, MAXM, MEMD and MEMM functions (F03)
- bug fix in MEMD and MEMM with LIF version 0 media (F04)
- bug fix in RED$ and CENTER$ (F05)

Content:
jpcf05.l71 : JPC Lex in LIF format
jpcf05.r71 : JPC Rom in LIF format
jpcf05.bin : binary image of the JPC Rom, ready for Emu71

The JPC Rom is just the JPC Lex plus a default ML subprogram:
JPCF05     LEX   25992 02/26/17 20:54
ML         BASIC    55 02/26/17 20:54

Note: the JPC Lex is designed to run in Eprom modules or in independent IRAM. Unexpected results can occur if the JPC Lex is run in MAIN memory.


How to load the JPC Rom into Emu71:
---------------------------------------

For Emu71/DOS, just add the line:
  3 ROM 32 jpcf05.bin
in the [modules] section of the emu71.ini file.

For Emu71/Win, use the port configuration to add a new 32K ROM port with the jpcf05.bin file.


How to load JPC Rom or JPC Lex to the HP-71:
-------------------------------------------

The JPC Lex needs an independant 32k (or more) RAM port.

- You need a PIL-Box and the ILPer software.

- Connect the HP-71 to the PIL-Box, and start ILPer

- to load the JPC Rom:
  set the DOSLink in file to jpcf05.r71
  do on HP-71:
    FREE PORT(x)  ! x is the port number where your 32k module is
    ROMCOPY :DOSLINK TO :PORT(x)

- if you don't have the ROMCOPY LEX, you can load the JPC Lex instead.
  Remember that you need to load the JPC Lex in an independant RAM port !
  set the DOSLink in file to jpcf05.l71
  do on HP-71:
    FREE PORT(x)  ! x is the port number where your 32k module is
    COPY :DOSLINK TO :PORT(x)
