SMI Transfer Software 7
Posted by jerry-hastings on March 26, 2021 at 10:19 pmHi Guys and Gals, I have resorted to resurrecting on old computer and I find I need the SMI Transfer Software 7. I have it somewhere in a box but after two moves in the last five years it has disappeared. Does anyone still have the software? Thanks in advance.

A blast from the past. Construction V will always be my all time favorite staking software.
Wish I could help you.
I’ll dig around for it. I assume this is for an HP 48GX card.
MHNo need for SMI if you have Carlson Survey, it talks to SMI and TDS cards in HP 48s.

If I have the disc, it won’t help you because my Windows XP computer is long gone and I don’t have a disc drive. Sorry I didn’t think about that before responding to your post. The disc is probably write-protected anyway. No way to make you a copy.
MHI can put it on a google drive and share it with you.
Just let me find out first. I believe I have it backed up on one of my machines
exe files usually get filtered out of emails. You will want to zip it before sending.
I have it. I can email it to whoever needs it, just shoot me your email.
@btaylor Would it be possible for you to email us a copy of the SMI transfer? The copy we have is on floppy disk and we don’t have a floppy drive anymore.
Thanks in advance.

I sleep easier knowing my 48 with the SMI DCE 7 card is still in the cabinet.
The SMI overlay is glued on.
Stanley was the GOAT in survey programming.
still use SMI transfer 98 ver 3.0, with win 10.
I just use the editor, love the way it selects and behaves when using find & replace.
Also feel good looking down at “My HP 48 with SMI overlay” mine is not glued down though.
every now & then I have to purple arrow -> user, then esc “to clear the stack”
And yes, spent many days behind gun with SMI 48 hanging from legs.
edit, I bought NEW fancy HP calc. in 2012, about 5 years latter NEW HP died, but good old 48GX from 1998 era still going strong!
@fairbanksls I think it still blows everything else out of the water. It would run circles around tds.

In some respects, yes. My knowledge of SMI’s demise is limited. Last I heard, Eagle Point had acquired it. Is Eagle Point still around?
MH pretty sure i had the program files folder “SMI” saved from install on Win 2000, I believe.
Copy to Program Files (x86) whole old “SMI” folder to new, as of now, Win 10 machine.
set compatibility of “wCVCxfer.exe” to Windows XP sp3.
create shortcut to “wCVCxfer.exe” somewhere.
I have files if needed.
PS still use old version of Eagle Point almost every other day, it still does some things just “better”!
I’m trying to restore an older machine and do not have the installation files for SMI Transfer. Would anyone still be able to help me by sending the files? I’m in a tight spot.
SMI is/was the best. I still have it on my HP48 on my desk, use it for curve solutions. Back when I was in the field, I could do anything on it the same as I could in the office: adjustments, calcs, stakeout, whatever. It was an excellent data collector for topo. You were a survey god with a SMI card.
