From: radw on 27 Jun 2010 00:42 I recently purchased a hp50g and retired my hp49g+. I was reviewing the documentation that came on the CD when I discovered that the AUR manual had been updated to edition 2 (printed date: 2009/7/14). I have been using edition 1.1 (printed date: 2006/3/20). Edition 1.1 is full of hyper links which make it very user friendly for finding just about anything and everything you could think of. Edition 2 does not have any hyper links and I dont understand why hp decided to remove them. If you use this reference as an electronic file then its usefulness is greatly diminished without the links. I would like to find a copy of edition 2 with the hyper links active. Does anyone know if one exists and available for download? I would also like to know if anyone has a list of changes from edition 1.1 to edition 2? My quick review of edition 2 shows there are 40 additional pages (693 vs 653) and chapter 4 has been simplified to not repeat commands listed in chapter 3. Hopefully this was not discussed before. I did not find anything about the edition 2 vs edition 1.1 when I searched for them. Thanks in advance for any help. Ronald Williams
From: Jacob Wall on 27 Jun 2010 01:35 As noted in the Edition 1 description on hpcalc.org, "Internally linked by Bruce Horrocks", meaning that Bruce presumably spent a LOT of time adding all the links to the PDF after it was created by someone else. If you have Acrobat Pro and a lot of time that you're willing to contribute to the cause, then I'm sure many would appreciate getting Edition 2 internally linked. This is just my understanding of it. If the original document was created with InDesign for example, and all the links were defined in the master document, then it would be a simple task to export a PDF with all the links, however I don't believe that is the case. -- Jacob Wall On 26/06/2010 9:42 PM, radw wrote: > I recently purchased a hp50g and retired my hp49g+.

Actually I wrote a series of scripts to do it. That 'toolchain' was on a machine that has since died so it will take me a week or two to get it all together again. If you can point me at the edition 2 PDF then that would help. Regards, -- Bruce Horrocks Surrey England (bruce at scorecrow dot com)

I've been thinking about this too, since AUR edition 2 was released.

I dont know how you did it but what a great job you have done. All I can say is thank you. Ronald Williams |
