Paul Courbis
Paul Courbis, is a French programmer, mostly known for reverse engineering the HP-28 and then the HP 48 series of calculators, and writing multiple articles and books disclosing his findings. These books had a surprising success in France.
Very soon, a team of enthusiasts formed, gathering around Maubert Electronique, a small electronics shop in Paris' Latin Quarter, and developing a large number of utilities and games. Most of these programs are still available and can be traced back to the original reverse-engineering published by Paul Courbis.
Paul Courbis is the chief information officer at the French Ordre National des Médecins, he is also working during his spare time on a set of tools to help people administrating Alcatel's PABX. He also publishes various tricks on his web site.Other works
