To be included in this list, an implementation must:

implement at least a "standard" 4-level RPN calculator. Minor variations (e.g., 3 or 5 levels) do not preclude being listed. Implementations that include both RPN and algebraic modes are eligible.

implement an RPL calculator.

implement a "clone" (or near-clone) of any Hewlett-Packard calculator, even if it is an algebraic-only model.

The following information is included for each implementation:

The NAME line contains the name of the implementation. Implementations are listed alphabetically by name. If the implementation emulates or approximates a specific calculator and it is not obvious from the name which calculator is emulated, the emulated calculator model is given in parentheses.

The LAST CHANGED/VERIFIED line contains the date that the entry was last changed or an explict "looks ok to me" was received by the FAQ maintainer.

The ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTION is the date (or partial date) of the first release. It is in YYYY-MM-DD format.

The VERSION is the latest known version. It is probably out of date.

The ENVIRONMENT is the operating environment. This is a very high-level description: consult the documentation on the product for any specifics.

The ORGANIZATION is the name of and contact information for the implementor or current Maintainer.

The STATUS is one of

no longer available: Self-explanatory.

free: The implementation is available to most people at no charge. Even such "free" implementations may have restrictions: consult information about the particular implementation. Where available, information on how to obtain a copy is also listed.

shareware: Self-explanatory.

not free: The implementation is for sale. Contact the vendor for specifics.

Many of the names of the implementations in this list are trademarked. Specific trademarks are not called out.

The site http://www.hp41.org also has a list.

Some (well, many) implementations cross categories. In general, they are only listed once (but I'm sure that there are exceptions). Do a search to relevant entries in other places.
