Welcome to my Rex6000 Site!!

bullet
Introduction:

The purpose of this site is to share my experiences, my notes, and the ADDINS that I have worked on for the XIRCOM REX 6000 and possibly the Citizen DS2..

This work was started while my wife graciously took a vacation for 2 weeks in August/September 2001.   I had not done any programming for many years.  I took this opportunity to pull many all-nighters and hibernate at a terminal screen.  Something I remember from way back when I was single!! It was an exciting and interesting way to spend my break.

Since then my wife has been very great and encouraging for me to continue working on the ADDINS; however, no all-nighters with the computer are permitted! 

Please send her a THANKYOU by email or at the bulletin board/forum!!

11 APR 2003   1) NEW VERSION OF NOT A SPREAD SHEET with a really GOOD readme file and new icon. Some minor bugs were fixed and you can now use more than one file instead of just the default.  If you use it or have developed some function files, please post them at the forum. 

2) The SOURCE CODE for NSS and LIBRARY are also available on the NSS page.

3) Added a GUEST MAP.  WHY NOT PUT A PIN ON THE MAP TO INDICATE YOUR LOCATION!

4) Changed the FORUM.  There is basically one list related to each addin that I have.  Over the next week I will add the old posts into the new forum.

5) Changed web site but old link will still work.

Guess where my wife is!   It is 1 year later.   

In any case I will be releasing all source code for all my addins on 12 AUG.  

I am a little bit inspired by Chris Harris's recent work, maybe I will do a little work on NOT A SPREADSHEET. 

Any suggestions?

By the way, I still haven't cleaned out the garage!

08 OCT 2001   UNIT CONVERTER:

1) UNIT CONVERSIONS: Made corrections to the README FILE.  Make sur the memo is named z_jdf_UNITS   also make sure that the z_jdf_UNITS is NOT a line in the memo.  If it is your first line, then delete it!!
