aha - a fellow ITB420 student @ QUT. Here are my comments:


1)Don't try and do the whole thing at a time. Maybe get the display
going doing first (EG print calculator picture), then try to print a
number to the screen (Hint: google for "add 3" math bcd). Then try and
get number entry going. etc, etc.

2) Avoid 'magic number's - yes, we ment through that in the tutes, but
it makes sense. and why use binary when not necessary?

3) to get full marks, we need to use decmial places and negative
signs. It might be easier to use the FPU. Email me for more info.

3) RPN is easier to create then infix.

My effort can be found @

cheers,
