with the OS. I think a better idea would be a standard library with
defined functions. These standard functions should be decided on once and
_not_change_. It should contain "the most useful and most used functions."
With this system different versions of the same library could be produced,
and improvements made, without making people keep multiple versions on

I think the calculator should have a library, but only one. If there was one
big library that went into the TI-89 and did what all the libraries existing
did, that would be easier and still save some space. If we had a lot of
libraries (like we do now), that would make it more confusing and a big
hassle to keep track and upgrade them.
