RPN vs HP16C

A dream calculator of the mid-70's, priced at $2,500 in today's dollars (2025), right on your iPhone! RPN-67 SD is the iPhone version of RPN-67 Pro, the first complete simulation of Hewlett-Packard's legendary HP-67 programmable calculator for the iPad. Produced from 1976 to 1982, the HP-67 was a huge success among scientists, engineers and other professionals. Thousands of programs were written for it. Now you can run them right on your iPhone, with more ease and faster than ever before. To get you started quickly, run the built-in program cards, or choose from the large number of programs available as free downloads from our website. What users said: “This version permits you to use your virtual HP-67 just as you could the original – hand-held and highly portable. Congratulations to the developer for providing such an excellent and aesthetically pleasing software product." "This was my first scientific calculator in real life. It is great to have the simulator on my iPhone. The special features added make it into a HP-41 or 42S! It comes packaged with some great samples. Am having great fun with it." Features: • Virtual program and data cards • Virtual paper tape printer supports all HP-97 printer modes • Powerful database-driven card manager • Create, label, and organize a virtually unlimited number of cards • Use iTunes to effortlessly save entire card collections on your Mac/PC • Sharing: e-mail, AirDrop, Dropbox, copy, paste, print • Editable listing shows labels, targets of branches, and errors • E-mail listings and let the recipient paste the text right into RPN-67 • Print listings on any AirPrint-compatible printer • Program listing on paper tape shows subroutine nesting • Edit paper tape • E-mail paper tape, or print it via AirPrint • Cut/copy/paste displayed value or program steps • Paste existing HP-67 listings into RPN-67 SD and run them • "Live" display of stack, memory registers, flags • Show and edit program instructions • Fast: 1.5 seconds vs. 6 minutes (program HM-05, determinant of 5x5 matrix) • Low-battery indicator (iPhone charge 10% or less) • Optional high-contrast mode for working in bright ambient light • Compatible with RPN-67 Pro and RPN-97 Pro While RPN-67 SD works like a real HP-67, changing a simple setting will turn the app into a super-charged HP-67: • Up to 999 program steps, 8 subroutine levels, 6 additional flags (F4...F9) • 100 additional registers • 100 additional labels • 100 built-in constants and conversions • More than 150 additional powerful operations and functions Plus: • 15 commands to print and manipulate any range of extended registers • Unrestricted register arithmetic • Exchange x with any register • Complex numbers, hyperbolic functions • Non-volatile memory - stack, registers, program, flags, paper tape • Status indicators for prefix keys (f, g, h, STO, RCL, etc.) • Display showing thousands separators (optional) • Text output on simulated paper tape in 10 colors, even simple plotting • Stack-of-stack: push/pop the entire stack on internal stack (4 levels) • Single-step into subroutines (optional) • Powerful debugging aids, including 10 breakpoints with counters • Keycodes translated to command names while entering or single-stepping a program • Change the duration of the PAUSE command • Compress constants in programs into a single step (reversible) RPN-67 SD comes with more than 130 programs pre-installed, including HP Standard Pac, HP Business Decisions Pac, HP Math Pac I, HP Stat Pac I, and HP Surveying Pac I. The simulator has been verified to correctly run the examples given in HP Civil Engineering Pac I, HP Clinical Lab Pac, HP E.E. Pac I, HP Games Pac I, HP M.E. Pac I, HP Navigation Pac I, as well as large number of programs published in Users' Library Solutions. For more information and free program downloads visit the RPN-67 website: cuveesoft.ch/rpn67

A faithful recreation of the legendary HP 16C Computer Scientist calculator for iPhone, with a few modern upgrades. If you've ever needed to perform hex arithmetic, bit manipulation, or base conversion on your phone and been frustrated by the available options, this is for you. RPN-16C gives you the full power of the original HP 16C in your pocket. WHAT IT DOES - Full RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) calculator - Integer arithmetic in HEX, DEC, OCT, and BIN - Configurable word size from 1 to 64 bits - Unsigned, one's complement, and two's complement modes - Complete bit operations: shift, rotate, rotate through carry, AND, OR, XOR, NOT, mask, bit set/clear/test, count bits, left justify - Float mode with configurable precision (FLOAT 0-9) - Keystroke programming with labels, subroutines, loops, and conditionals - Storage registers with direct and indirect addressing - Programs can be imported from text (long-press the display to paste) ENHANCEMENTS OVER THE ORIGINAL - Two-line display: see both X and Y registers at once. No more guessing what's on the stack. - Wider LCD: displays all 32 bits in binary without scrolling. The original could only show 8 at a time. - Haptic feedback on every key press - State persistence: pick up right where you left off - SHOW function to peek at values in other bases FAIR WARNING This is a quirky calculator. It uses Reverse Polish Notation, has no equals key, and expects you to know what two's complement means. If you're looking for a simple calculator, this is not it. If you've ever wished you could do a bitwise rotate through carry on your phone, welcome home. DESIGNED FOR PROGRAMMERS The key layout matches the physical HP 16C exactly, including the f (gold) and g (blue) shift labels. If you know the original, you already know this one.
