RE: A82: Re: Fw: Proposed open operating system/gui/shell (CalcOS-82,83,85,86)
The problem is that the USER would have to install each library, and it isn't the most fun thing to do with one's free time. In fact, that was the most annoying thing about Usgard .95b, because I never knew what library I needed unless I installed the cool shell, but then I'd have to exit the shell, turn on my PC, hook up the link, and so on. It's a pain, and there aren't that many programs that need specific libraries to warrant that kind of setup.

That would defeat the purpose. Then, you would have a bunch of routines
that programs don't use. What if the routines were stored differently? I
don't really see what the problem with the libraries is? Just the number of
prgm variables on the calculator???
