A82: Writing assembler programs for several calculator models

Hi,

Instead of making a universal hardware access layer (HAL) or such things, we could make an interpreter with a higher language level, where different functions/methods was used according to calculator model, and things like screen size was available as constants.

If I had time I would make something like this. But I'm not good enough on Z80 machine language to make an optimized interpreter.

Idea:

1. "High" level language like:  (c style here)
	putpixel(10,20);

2. RPN - Reverse Polish Notation
	20
	10
	putpixel

3. Machine code
	ld l, 20
	ld h, 10
	call some_putpixel_routine
