The HPPRGM format is a proprietary program container developed by Hewlett-Packard specifically for the HP Prime Graphing Calculator ecosystem. These files encapsulate custom scripts, functions, and applications written in the HP Prime Programming Language (HP PPL) to facilitate transfer between devices and computer connectivity software. As a specialized scripting container, the format presents minimal security risk to personal computers but enables code execution within the calculator's constrained operating environment.
