# free42bin(1)

program to calculate the cool way

## NAME

free42bin - program to calculate the cool way

## SYNOPSIS

**free42bin**

## DESCRIPTION

Free42 is a re-implementation of the HP-42S calculator and the HP-82240 printer. It is a complete rewrite, not using any HP code, and it does not require an HP-42S ROM image.

Loading and saving programs is possible in all Free42 versions except OS X Dashboard. The exact process is pretty straightforward in the desktop versions (Windows, OS X, Linux), but it is a bit more complicated on mobile devices.  vailable via the Info system.
