Yeah, I was thinking we could have the pg. D address, and then the address
where it actually is for whatever rom version(s) you have it for. As for
the rom listing, I've had it/been working on it basically since I got the
calc back in September. So it has a fair bit of commenting. I also set up
my editor to do global replaces, so I've replaced a lot of the RAM/ROM
addresses with symbolic names. It's just getting to the point where when I
go to look at a new routine, all the little routines have symbolic names,
so I don't have to go look them up every time.

So much for standards...I was just thinking of email addresses for like if
you don't understand what a rom call does, you could email someone who
knows about it, not so much as for credit to who found it. Personally, I
don't care if I get credit for something. If I see something out there that
I wrote, it's neat, but I really just want to see information out there, I
don't care who first discovered it. Unless, of course, I don't understand
it and need to find someone who does so I can ask about it. :)
