  • Transfer directory from m48+ on one phone to Emu50G on a second phone

    From rwmitchell@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 15 16:42:21 2020
    I want to transfer some stuff I created in m48+ on an old phone to my new phone (to Emu50G because m48+ is not currently available)

    I've tried putting the name of the directory on the stack and using RCL, which then displays what looks like the directory contents onto the stack. I then hit pressed the screen to get the M48+ menu and used "Save Object As ..." and saved to a file (
    appending .obj)

    I enabled WiFi, opened Safari on my laptop and downloaded the object.

    I reversed this process in Emu50G and got something back on the stack...which looks like binary? hp48 stuff, but I can't do anything with it.

    I'm probably missing something very basic. I used the original 48G a lot back in the mid 90s, not so much anymore, but it is still my goto on the iPhone for basic stuff.

    Even on the same phone, loading the object I just saved doesn't return the directory contents to the stack, but the same 'binary' stuff. (this removes the transfer process fouling stuff)

    Help?

    Try using:

    « "" ADD IF DUP "HPHP4" POS THEN
    #100002h LIBEVAL 26 + #100003h LIBEVAL NEWOB END
    »

    I think it’s called FixOb

    Thanks! I'll add that to my tools.

    I actually solved it by manually adding quotes around the object on the stack before saving the stack. On the receiving side, I had to manually delete everything up to DIR and then the final quote. Not great, but it worked.
