something from the website of the z88sdk...
It isn't finished...
At least it doesn't show up in the downloads section of the Z88sdk...
But maybe I'll have to dail-in via Linux (not Win98Lite) and try to use CVS (really don't know how, but...)
Oh, well I CAN download via the link in the news item... Lets see...
BTW the link is (the download is just a little bigger than 1meg):

3.2.20001
I've been making changes to CVS repository to create a distribution that will compile and hopefully work out of the box. You might like to grab a nightly snapshot and give it a go. There's now support for the following TI calculators: TI82,83,83+,85,86 thanks to Stefano. We think this is the first compiler that makes it possible to compile for all of the z80 based calculators with the minimum of hassle
