Re: A89: PlusShell v0.99 Test Release 1




Well Done. The calc has been out for less than a month and a working shell is
out. I think its a record...
Oh...All features work and no adverse side effects have occured.

<<PlusShell v0.99 includes TI-89 support.  It isn't the final version yet, but
I have decided to release it to the public for testing purposes (as I don't
yet have an 89 myself).  Go to http://home1.gte.net/river to get the test
release.  Please respond with your success (or horror) stories.  The
following things need to be tested on the 89:
1) Does the shell even run?
2) Does the shell's screen appear correct with no graphical flaws?
3) Are the folders listed properly?
4) Do the keys work as expected?
5) Are the programs within the folders listed properly?
6) Can you run a program from the shell?
7) Does the hello world example clear the screen properly?
8) Does the graytest program display the grayscale image properly?  I use
the 92+ hardware I/O techniques, so it isn't guaranteed to work.
9) Is the calculator stable after exiting the shell?  A good way to test
this is to evaluate a simple math problem (1+1 will suffice), enter the mem
screen and then escape out of the mem screen.  If the calc survives, it
should be stable.

I hope everything works as it should.  It will be nice to have some 89 games
(especially since 89 games will work perfectly on the 92+!).>>
