[A83] Re: statvars...??? [Ti83+]




Yeah, there's a few "bugs" in ion.inc, and that's one of them.  They  stem
from the fact that I really didn't want to type up ion.inc, but that Joe
said he wouldn't make an 83 version of Ion otherwise...So it wasn't a really
careful job :)  Anyhow, due to that little mistake, nearly no 83P Ion
programs use statVars (which is OK, if the 83 version uses statVars, the 83P
version can use appBackUpScreen).

And because statVars isn't used by 83P Ion progs (except for Boulderdash,
and maybe one other), MirageOS installs it's interrupt stuff there.  Thus,
if you're developing an Ion program and want it to be compatible with
MirageOS, either don't use 83P statVars (which, as I said before, can be
remedied by using appBackUpScreen for the 83P version, and statVars for the
83 version), or set IM 1 at the beginning of your program to disable the
MirageOS interrupt.

Makes sense?,
