About Paul Courbis

  • Paul Courbis (born 3 November 1967), 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 (one of the most impressing one was Pac-Man for the 48, one of the first programs using the hardware scrolling device of the 48).
  • 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 (for the 4400 series).
  • He also publishes various tricks (iPhone, shells scripts, etc.) on his web site.
