HP-15c
HP-15C Simulator est un émulateur fidèle de la calculatrice scientifique programmable HP-15C, conçue par Hewlett-Packard. Développé par Torsten Manz, cet outil reproduit l’expérience utilisateur de l’appareil original, avec ses fonctionnalités mathématiques avancées, sa programmation en langage RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) et son interface rétro. Il s’adresse aux passionnés d’informatique rétro, aux étudiants en mathématiques ou ingénierie, ainsi qu’aux collectionneurs souhaitant recréer un environnement de calcul historique.
Sur macOS, l’émulateur fonctionne sur des systèmes récents, avec une exigence minimale de macOS 10.13. Bien que la dernière version officielle ne soit pas explicitement adaptée à l’Apple Silicon, son architecture cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) suggère une compatibilité potentielle avec les architectures x86_64. L’interface reste sobre et centrée sur l’usage technique, sans superflu, idéal pour un travail précis ou une nostalgie calculatoire.

Historique des versions
Version 4.6.00, Build 6414
- Bug fixes
- When starting the simulator, the simulator window could be outside of the visible area when the monitor layout had changed after saving the window position.
- Program description dialogue: When the Search and Replace window was closed, the input focus was not set to the edit window.
- The mnemonics in the program popup menu did not respect the current setting for the comma and the thousands separator.
- Changes
- Key sequences with a decimal point, e.g. STO . 3, are now formatted as
{ 45 .3 }or{ 45 ,3 }in the program files. The actual format depends on the settings for comma and period. In previous versions the sequence was formatted using the key code ('48') for the decimal point, e.g.{ 45 48 3 }. - The entire simulator documentation was checked using DeepL Write. The use of nouns, such as button vs. key, and verbs , such as show vs. display, is now more consistent.
- Program description dialogue:
- The statistics registers R2 to R7 are now automatically added to the program description, when the program uses the commands Σ+ or Σ-.
- Selected text in the Usage field now remains highlighted, when the field looses the focus. For example when you open the Search and Replace window.
- The preview mode now supports text that is formatted in bold and italic at the same time.
- The symbols menu can be opened at the cursor position with the shortcut Control–B3 (not for macOS).
- Key sequences with a decimal point, e.g. STO . 3, are now formatted as
- Known issues
- macOS
- When minimising the description dialogue, it becomes immediately maximised again
- Artifacts along the top and bottom edge of the simulator keys for some font sets
- Some users got errors when they installed the HP-15C Simulator Font. It is recommended to deinstall all versions of the font before installing it again.
- Linux, macOS:
- The behaviour described on page 144 of the Owner's Handbook when a letter key is 'held down for longer than about 3 seconds', works on all systems when you use the mouse. When you use the keyboard, it works on Windows, but not on macOS and Linux.
- macOS
